Your main beef is that Alan was "either naive or not truthful" or that things changed over the course of 7 years?

I love this article and it is a pretty great handbook on a variety of tactics you normally don't get much depth about. But I wish the whole thing was prefaced with, this mostly mat…

"Why did group therapy work when individual didn’t? Part of it was that having nine different mirrors reflect back my problematic behavior brought into brilliant and incontrovertib…

You know how in the innovator's dilemma, the point at which the new innovator gets a foothold is also the point where the old firm has peak profits? I think there's a similar thing…

More of a logic question, though at its core math is logic and pattern recognition. I'm certainly going to need a lot more practice if I want to place in Singapore's top 40% of 14/…

They've been long overdue for an overhaul. Remember when Ford kept saying, "Quality is Job #1" yet nothing they did seem to reflect that? It seems to be just like that. Yeah it suc…

I think it is interesting to see it from their point of view, especially their expectations, assumptions and details they remembered.
