Change is afoot. Wonder where was Discord? lnkd.in/giaR8_XC

I find this article insightful. In debates at work, the truest representation of reality is often described with "axes," "vectors," or, as in this article, "tensions." Framing problems this way avoids false assumptions that there a…lnkd.in/gE5zncjx lnkd.in/gxcsvrgV
