I guess I'm arguing that a conscious choice not to find a tribe just leads to unconsciously finding a tribe instead. Maybe the real answer is both, though - try to consciously avoid tribal thinking, but also acknowledge that it's

My view is that having a "small identity" is basically impossible in any practical sense. Many issues are inherently subjective, and even for issues that are (philosophically speaking) objective, actual human individuals rarely ha

I didn't mean generation in terms of age. Maybe "current cohort" would have been better phrasing. Many people will have already decided before they are 26 that they aren't cut out for leadership because they don't f

These sorts of responses always come up to these kinds of posts and, with respect, they always seem to come down to: "I don't have any issues with social media so I can't see why anyone else does" But imagine saying to a

This is an interesting viewpoint and as an advocate of wfh, a good one for me to read. However I would say that a lot of your argument seems to be based on the fact that senior leaders / top performers like to meet in person, so theref

Adding some slight nuance to this as it sounds like Jeremy Clarkson might be oversimplifying a tad. Nobody in the UK (or in England at least, i'm not as familiar with devolved policy) gets paid for full rewilding (in the sense of takin

I don't think burnout is well defined at all - at least not as used colloquially. As I understand it there's a specific medical/ mental health condition called burnout that is pretty horrendous. But in everyday usage it can m

There is no such thing as dispassionate cost benefit analysis (or at least, there isn't outside of a very narrow range of specific cases). Cost benefit analysis for big complex issues like coronavirus requires the identification and qu

This is an interesting article I'm, but I'm not sure any of this is particularly new in politics and political activism. Using short, simplistic slogans, using word games to try to make your opponents look bad without really engag
