I think the conceit that exists in business schools today, and what riles up people too, is that managing people could be taught . This is why many case studies are performed in B-schools, so students can imbibe successful habits. But I ha

Absolutely true. This is where the privilege shows. I have helped friends run restaurants, and it's brutal and draining. And there is an enormous amount of pretty unique skills required to succesfully run a restaurant. And I am sayin

Read the whole link. Nothing about the article shared here, and the points made are really half-baked and highly debatable.

Yep. I am working hybridly - where I am in my office 2-3 days per week, and remote the rest. It's insane how less stress I have when I WFH. I have to work onsite those days due to the nature of my job. Less traffic, especially the earl

Be data-driven, and question the provenance of your data all the time. Otherwise you will end up like economics, a field with prettier models and more mathematics than almost every engineering field, and yet gets every major prediction wron

That the US actions were all positive in WW2. That the US were the heroes. This agenda is so seeped in modern culture today, that it's difficult to see today. Doesn't mean that a war film is agenda free though.

Absolutely it's political. Hitler was a political actor at the end of the day, as a ruler of a nation. And Nazism is a political ideology. Just because we all agree that Nazism is repugnant (and that too is debatable - several far ri

This. Just because we agree with something - doesn't mean it's apolitical. Even a purely romantic film such as Brokeback Mountain, when it was released was called political by Christian conservatives. I don't agree with their

I can give a different perspective. It is not because of politicization IMO - at least not in the hard sciences. The problem comes from way up, from Congress because the immediate impact of science is not obvious. Especially, for basic scie
