I like it. It reminds me of leaving oppressive situations like a high-control work environment or a high-demand religion. You start to think, "wow I've really changed here, and not for the better" but then you leave and in some cases the negative changes almost instantly disappear. In order to kick habits in the way highlighted by the article, people in general need to be exposed to opportunities to experience change. IMO one of the biggest ways we could help the human race evolve in a positive direction would be by focusing easing or even incentivizing the transition from team to team and from job to job. The "career" mindset is also still way too sticky, too. Convergence psychology--"what I'm thinking about doing is X, therefore I am headed at X, well here I am at X, guess I'll stay at X, after all I know a lot about X" is a massive risk. It is too subjective and almost completely blocks out objective factors, e.g. environment. People will over-associate themselves with their behaviors as long as that tradition of looking at careers, teams & jobs continues. This over-focus on self is far from selfishness, but way too lax on testing and evaluating the effects of changes in objective circumstances. Thanks for sharing.
