People

What makes people tick?

There are two types of people, those that do real work to help others, those that suck value of the system for their own gain. Engineer protocols to attract the former while draining the later from the system.

Expectation Management

If your view of the world is that people use reason for their important decisions, you are setting yourself up for a life of frustration and confusion. You'll find yourself continually debating people and never winning except in your own mind. Few things are as destructive and limiting as a worldview that assumes people are mostly rational. - Scott Adams
