   The bottom line is, the PR damage done by SolarWinds' CEO to his company stands out the most, and he can and should fix it.

   Doesn't seem perplexing to me either. Humans are tribal and their survival depends on teamwork of about ~100 people or so. This is natural on intimate scale. What perplexing is to think about how humans can cooperate effectively on a s

   I think people should have protests targeted toward (lack of) freedom of press itself . I mean freedom of press is the big story here. Because bad things unreported are even worse than bad things reported. Its all about building trust for

    Keeping a design unchanged is so underrated. I witness it most when giving technical support to the elderly. When they ask: "why did they changed it?!". I say: "because someone needed a job".

    And also, I never started a business but from my observation, when you do something small that works it might serve as a base on which you grow something bigger in natural way that is more obvious.

    Wow. This problem exists in my country's gov entities too. Only as a result of public pressure they finally enacted the "faxes law" demanding public entities to allow digital means of contact. Now they struggle to enforce the

    The Coronavirus crisis is a perfect opportunity for governments to take totalitarian leaps forward. Look what happened this week in Israel. At 1:00AM when citizens were sleeping: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman&

    I think there are so many people already recognize climate change as a mega issue and just feel depressed. I would like to see more leadership messages of what is done and can be done in the present.

    Right, but I think modern crowd-funding is inherently designed for trust, otherwise people won't fund. Taxes are not an option for the payer - for a reason - but still I think its lacking on the trust element, which is fundamental to a
