  • Corporations are simply groups of people, and people are terrified of being blamed for failure. The dumb things we see corporations doing are often cases of many people making small, super-safe decisions. Big names and big visuals attract eyeballs so that’s a safe decision. Writers may be a swing and a miss, risky.

    This is why a good CEO is paramount. They can take the risks that drive success. Of course some are cowards and only look to drive the needle one tick over, quarter after quarter, so the board doesn’t fire them. But leaders like that will never hit it out the park.

    I’d argue the Boomers are a fair cut above Gen Z. We Gen X folk are the greatest!

    Seriously though, we straddled the digital divide. We went from nothing to having to figure it all out. All when we were young and able to learn quickly. FFS, we couldn’t play a simple video game without understanding drives, IRQs, CLI, all that.

    If your knees or back are going out in your 30s you’re likely either fat or inactive or both. Lose weight now, get active now, joint damage is cumulative. (Yes, hard labor will jack you up, but not that young. And some people are just genetically unlucky. I gather being tall is bad as well?)

    Read a great quote years ago, “How active you are in your middle age determines how active you will be able to be in your old age.”
