Things we get for free, we don’t value much.
Only what costs us something feels truly worth it.
Freedom is one of the most precious things in the world.
Of course it comes at a high price.

That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only which gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price on its goods.

250 years ago today "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, advocating independence from Great Britain, was published. In the 47 pages Paine collected moral (not the FITWH kind of morals) and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government.

"I [...] have no other preliminaries to settle with the reader, than that he will divest himself of prejudice and prepossession, and suffer his reason and his feelings to determine for themselves; that he will put _on_, or rather that he will not put _off_ the true character of a man, and generously enlarge his views beyond the present day."
Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776). Excellent new explorable digital version of the (censored) British edition from the same year.

It is unreasonable to try solving #business, #management, or #culture problems you can’t understand using black box products you don’t.
Start with performance-challenges you do know deeply.
Then, apply solutions that are known.
It’s sorta odd that needs to be asserted at all.
Practice #sensemaking, exercise #CriticalThinking, and use #CommonSense.
#ThomasPaine said so.

Renouncing reason
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.
