Changing The World Is As Easy As Choosing A Different Favorite Color

Iceberg

Every boat has a captain and whatever he / she says is law.

The thinking goes that in order to maintain some semblance of certainty, this is the way it must be.

For a few sailors under Cappy’s direct command it will be quite easy to see

First hand how unlikely and difficult it is to alter the skipper’s opinion

Even with the pressure of opposing consensus from each person

On the bridge. This maritime and all too human need to

Command and control while enjoying the aim of

Providing confidence and predictability has

Proven fatal on too many voyages when

The power pilot’s understanding of

Basic human nature has proven

Lacking. Too many lives have

Been needlessly wasted

By deluded authority

Destroying every

Opportunity for

Collaboration

and survival.

Thank you, friend.

Much of what I write will be quite understandable to insane folks.

The rest will be, uh, less understandable...
