More recently, I've come to understand that the dream of an objective truth teller is just that: A dream. Counterintuitively, the epistemology of journalism must embrace humility and wear its bias on its sleeve if it wants to regain some trust.
This information has been released by @BillyBostickson in response to Yuri announcing a new website for DRASTIC, listing only 12 members. The old website is still there, listing 23 members. I'll try to find out more and update this thread as I figure out what's going on.
You are entering a complex, multilayered situation you need to understand and resolve. No other details available. You can choose any 5 people for your sensemaking dream team. Who do you bring?

But first, what is a corporation, anyway? Put simply, it's a legal abstraction allowing many people, with a defined relationship between them, to appear as one, in the eyes of the law (and other humans). Perhaps a better way to think of it is as a "composite person".
However, as always, the devil is in the details. The character of that composition is what ultimately gives rise to corporatism, the reduction to the lowest-common-denominator.
Why do corporations tend to reduce themselves to the lowest common denominator? 🧵
The book "Loonshots" refers to the idea of "return on politics": Companies should try to make sure that it's more advantageous for one's career to make actual contributions than to be engaged in internal marketing of one's work and angling to get promoted and/or amass more power.
Likewise, @BretWeinstein and @HeatherEHeying refer to the problem of administrators in universities: those who are willing to bear "networking", woriking in committees, and implementing policies, are those who get to control the future, overriding those who focus on their work.
