ostensibly nil

"Would You Rather" bot finally asks a coherent, and surprisingly apt, question.https://twitter.com/WYR_bot/status/1222412797423824896 …

This is the best thing I've ever seen.https://twitter.com/DurinnM/status/1221195927899328512 …

I want you to meditate to improve concentration and then realize you spend way too much of your energy worrying about trivial health problems.

I don't know that anyone's saying this, so I'll throw it out there. Agile cannot scale to larger groups of people for self evident reasons. Almost all real work requires coordinating many people. Therefore successful agile is at best a specialized edge case and at worst a fluke.

I want you to meditate to try to clear your mind, fail to clear your mind, and then realize that you carry all your tension in your face and it makes you look emotionally distant.

I want you to meditate just to prove it's all bullshit and then realize that every time you pass a stranger on the street you're imagining ways they could hurt you.

I want you to meditate to achieve spiritual growth and then realize that you take every excuse you can find not to engage with the world around you.

I want you to meditate because everyone is mean to you and then realize that if you ever calmed down for ten minutes then half your problems would never happen.

I want you to meditate because of stress and then realize you micromanage your subordinates and should just let them do their jobs.

I want you to meditate because of your bad back and then realize you never talk to your wife.

I don't want you to meditate and then talk about the noble truths and impermanence. I want you to meditate and then realize something about yourself that is genuinely surprising to you.

Your habitual defense mechanism is not a parenting strategy.

Emphasis is more important than facts, because emphasis ignores facts. Sure what you're saying is true, but it doesn't matter, because you're missing the point. The facts that I care about are what matter.

If you are the sort of person who doesn't fix things, you will always be surrounded by broken things. Getting new things briefly substitutes someone else's capacity for building things for your own, but the state of those things will regress down to your ability to care for them.

Even if you have no principles of your own, you can still accuse everyone else of hypocrisy.

If all you do for your job is your job, you're not a professional. A professional sets time aside for skill building that is not in the critical path for a delivery.
