I come from a socially dysfunctional family. It took me years to figure out that people sometimes don't want someone to barge in. I find this content very helpful.
Buddha said it is not enough to speak truthfully, it needs to be done at a time it leads to positive outcome.
Run an entire planet on the following of rules like this and you may find yourself on a planet full of unnecessary suffering and perpetual war, because not following silly rules grants those who don't more power, *especially* if they also have the ability to write the rules that other people must follow (that part is pointed at someone other than you).
This truly is the only decent solution I can think of to the problem of living in a planet-wide agora where context is constantly inadequate. I'd love to riff with you sometime, Jim, on the consequences of this scaling issue to expert identification and social coordination, and how we might be able to apply your thinking here to bigger questions of interdisciplinary collaboration on complex systems issues.

Thanks Jim. Once again you offer a breath of fresh air in a stuffy room!
Lovely idea - and importantly a wonderful way to build quality locally, as opposed to (what many try to do, which is build) quantity globally.

Choose wisely, Humans!! 🥰
Emailing this to my students. Beautifully written - wildly insightful.
