Context is key, but too many folks are falling in love with 'it depends'

It is not permission to walk away.
It’s not the end of the discussion, but the beginning of it
@drsosterer ... unfortunately, complex problems don't have simple solutions. Our current paradigm does not allow us space to effectively navigate many of these problems, & so often we get trapped in made-up debates and strawman arguments

What qualities did our athletes say they wanted in their leader? Yes they wanted mature, responsible, etc but I liked reading inclusive, good listener, positive spirit, flexible, inspirational, has fun working hard, can admit fault, has integrity, & hilarious. #GoQuake#ecxctf
