Learning is path dependent. There is a real risk of Group Hypnosis on the path. Money and meaning are made in containers. Within constraints. With shape and form. It takes time and effort to build these containers. The things we care about, may be connected to things we don’t care about. Things we used to care about. Perhaps even things we think are wrong. We don’t get to pick and choose everything to be exactly as we want it to be. There are trade offs and concessions. We cloak the truth in a shared story or interpretation. There may come a point at which pointing out that the Emperor is wearing no clothes becomes worthwhile. Before that, it may be fine to have a naked ego maniac playing bossman if it doesn’t mess up the things you care about. When he suggests strip poker to take the things you care about, it becomes a little too obvious. Somehow, we need to detach and keep learning rather than defending our container. While still defending the people we care about in the containers.
