      This is both a great memo and a great memo about management.https://twitter.com/kevinakwok/status/1097724676443230208 …

      I will accept an argument that that is not a memo, but that argument is wrong, and probably weighted heavily in "This is far too well-written to be a memo." Memos are understudied as a form factor for great writing, which seems suboptimal given how much is riding on them.

      Sadly a lot of my favorite memos will presumably never leave the VPN in which they were spawned.

      It's often instructive in history to read how smart people believed things which we now know to be disastrously untrue, if for no other reason as to inspire humility about our own beliefs. c.f. "As always, the South can be considered safely Democratic [and therefore] ignored."

          I also like reading folks who made the calls that are now obvious back when they were crazy, if for no other reason than to remember that sometimes crazy notions aren't nearly crazy enough.

          Yes so strongly agree with both these points To first point. LBJ series are very good for giving you sense of what it felt like at the time as this political law started to wildly fragment and reconsolidate. Reminds me of now haha But yeah, people don't push overton window enou
