🧵 Ever since reading this tweet and the post, I have been thinking about prevalence of bad ideas across other streams. They are extremely prevalent in workplaces as well. For Examples: Sports as team building exercise. Sounds good but is horrendous in introspect.

Future generations will marvel at our good fortune in having a writer as good as RSJ to make sense of our times. Just see this excerpt, from this post: https://publicpolicy.substack.com/p/183-free-lunches-forever?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#details… (His co-writer @pranaykotas is a rock star also, of course!)

One of things that I have been privy to is having an idea and trying to implement it without much thought. Writing helps in such manners. But then I read about PR/FAQ approach in the “Working backwards” book . It is painful to adopt and practice. Yet, the results are cogent.

Keep at it! It took me 8 bloody months to get it to work; this stuff isn’t supposed to be easy, I think.
