TempermentalAnomaly

I'm familiar with the original comic. If every attempt to engage in sincere conversations across different points of view on the internet is interpreted sealioning, then there's no room for sincere engagement.

But this is a matter of perception. Am I a troll or some who sincerely disagrees. I had an honest critique of the article so I expected some heat, but I was that there would be some sincere criticism of the idea. Rather, and shame on me for thinking otherwise, I've been called names and my criticism has been dismissed whole cloth. I'm a little surprised that this is as hurtful as it is and that I'm surprised that I am this pricked. Not exactly sure why I continue. Any case, that's my reply. Good day, sir!

Attempting to engage in a sincere and civil discussion isn't sealioning.

This is uncessarily mean.

I did. And carefully.

Can you cite where they reference the reproducibility issue in psychology? I thought I read it carefully and thought deeply about my criticism. I don't expect people to agree, of course, but to engage sincerely. So I went back and scanned it again and still don't see it mentioned.

I don't know how to read this as a bad faith question, but I'll respond with sincerity in hopes that we can have an honest discussion.

First, I'm not sure who "you people" and why my sentence is "off a factory line". When I reference the reproducibility issue it's the reproducibility issue in the field of psychology. Couching it in this crisis would temper the polemical tone.

So what exactly gave you whiplash?

I'm all for criticizing large, unwieldy corporations bloated with layers of management who deliver limited value, engage in cutthroat politics, and promote slogans over real connections with people through sustained work efforts. But this article rubbed me the wrong way from the get go. The difficulty of developing a culture is never examined away from Microsoft. Most large companies have a c-suite who are so far removed from the average worker and their daily goals that they think pithy slogans are what it takes.

But I really became skeptical when they tried to summarize the findings of growth mindset and quickly dismissing it without couching in the ongoing reproducibility issue in psychology and failing to clearly show the controversy with growth mindset, the good, the bad, and the unclear. Which large company isn't peddling bullshit to get more out of their workers without deliver respect and wages?

I am hard pressed to find an example of a large company where executive management isn't oblivious to the real needs and desires of the average worker and middle management isn't flooded with back stabbing and petty politics. The most honest will tell you it's about market dominance and profit maximization and if happy workers help they do that as long as it doesn't cost too much and doesn't undermine their access to power.

She lacks momentum and a charisma that gets people to follow you. So random critics can shout from the bleachers and say how they think she's doing it wrong. So they tell her to jump and she jumps. They tell her to move this way and she does. It's always wrong. Because they don't know what she needs to do either.

They know yelling at Trump is useless. They don't have any power over him. He'll do what he wants and says what he wants and we can try to call him out and he doesn't care and his followers don't either. In all his ignorance, he has confidence. Arguably because of his ignorance.

In all her intelligence, she's not sure what to do. But neither do the spectators. I'm not sure what she needs to do, but it probably has to come from somewhere inside herself and proclaim it without apology.

There's a lot of smart people in that room. I'm not sure there's much wisdom.
