@PeterDiamandis I don’t disagree. And yet a small part of me feels a parallel to Worldcom putting a zillion miles of fiber optic cables in the ground. History rhyming and all that.
The premise makes sense. And yet there are outliers. Elon Musk runs several mammoth companies. Is it wrong to say that some people are able to stay intensely focused but on one compartment at a time? This task switching would seem to drain juice, but for some it appears energizing
AND
• Is it unreasonable to think absolutism is dangerous?
• Is it weak to respect opinions you don’t share?
• Is it naïve to believe in the power of AND instead of or?
• Is it absurd to think reform is necessary AND to disagree with the way certain actions are carried out?
• Is it unrealistic to believe that police, military, intelligence, and federal agents face unimaginably tense situations AND that, at times, deadly force is used inappropriately?
• Is it inconsistent to align with most of one political party’s ideals AND still challenge certain actions taken in its name?
• Does refusing to see every event through a rigid red-or-blue lens make someone weak?
Maybe strength isn’t certainty at all costs.
Maybe it’s the ability to hold two truths at once.
Maybe progress lives in AND.

If someone can quickly infer where you stand on 10 political issues simply by knowing where you stand on one issue, you've stopped thinking for yourself long ago and have become a victim of tribal culture.
