Great as always from Lucidity, Brainwash An Executive Today where he writes about how management makes decisions. I kept nodding every a few seconds, fueling my confirmation bias.

It’s such a strange world we live in. So much seems dysfunctional, even perverse — millions spent on software that barely works and hinders productivity, followed by layoffs to save on the salaries of a few engineers. And yet, some things do work — turn on a tap, and fresh water flows; flip a switch, and you draw power from a nuclear plant — how awesome is that?

I don’t know what to make of it — I’ve been struggling with it for a few years. Now, I’m coming to realize that if my expectations clash with reality, the fault is mine — I asked the world to be something it never promised to be. The only thing I can do is to seek things that work, hold to what makes sense, and let the rest pass as the wind over stone.
