I have had the pleasure of corresponding with @sapinker and he is someone who helps calm me about how the world works. Thank you Mr. Pinker. Great quote from Enlightenment Now - great book.
Is there still kindness left in the world? We adapted a simple experiment from the world of social science to find out. @tonydokoupil shows us what happened when we "lost" our wallets, as hidden cameras rolled.

Doing some end of year review and 2021 planning. One new step I have added is the Kramer rule - Say the following after everything you write - "So what / Big deal /Who cares". It has been helping me ground what I am talking about.

Just listened to the #EmpoweringIndustryPodcast and it had one of my favorite people as the interview this week- @CharliKMatthews ! With WFH because of COVID, I have switched to listening to Podcasts while walking my dog instead of my usual commute. Bella is happy about it!
