Parking this here because conversational analysis has been described as like a Eadweard Muybridge moment in helping us understand the world. artsandculture.google.com/asset/egH07ZVm…
The bit about proving horses have all four hooves off the ground in a gallop reminds me of the A-ha or gotcha moment. I think I prefer the conceptualisation as potential for illumination. Light itself is neither good nor bad but can be used for both.
They also mention the intersection with nudge theory. Then go on to talk about Heritage and Robinson's work on any v some (which I had incidentally incorporated into my interview schedule). sscnet.ucla.edu/soc/faculty/he…
At 30 mins they start talking about dance. Reminds me of what I teach the pain medicine trainees about the chronic pain dance and the transference and countertransference it engenders.

Do what Matters Most by Rob Shallenberger (Ex-USAAF and secret service) and @byb_steve (helped create Stephen Covey Leadership Center).
Indeed, what does matter most? (I think it depends on your values.)
I agree. Part of the reason we have a burnout epidemic is managers who don't understand that your people are your most important asset, and doctors who put the patients and career before their own well-being.

Anecdote of cognitive overload or "task saturation" in the cockpit which almost resulted in a near-miss.
This reminds me of a finding from my lit review. When a supervisor is worried about patient safety as well as teaching, teaching takes a back seat.
This reminds me of this morning's run where Jim was telling me about how TV developed, and like all things in engineering, there was incremental change, and shared or stolen IP.

"In a world where value is not just placed on things but also on ideas, collaboration has become the most important skill."
Our education has let us down by training us to be individuals rather than working in teams. Just think about all those exams...

Political Tribes by @amychua in 2018. She's the author of the Tiger Mum book, and my interest was piqued when I heard her on @GadSaad's podcast yesterday.

The story of WeWork is that of a "glorified real estate company" that was selling itself as a tech company/startup. It all came crashing down in 2019.

It all starts back in 2006 when Adam Neumann met an architect called Miguel McKelvey. Neumann needed a space for a baby clothes business. They ended up in the same building and they started collaborating on a business of renting ready-to-use office space.
I've backtracked to the start of the chapter because it's been so long. Schon is highlighting the tension between discipline and practice-orientations to education. He menions Veblen.
And again on the page 308. What is Veblen's ancient hierarchy of knowledge? Who was Veblen?
The authors think that productivity can be learned. I think they're probably right. Being productive is a skill, and I think most if not all skills can be learned and improved upon.

The authors had a son with a health condition. They kept working to maintain their health insurance. They also had two more kids AND grew their business.
