Teaching: Convergence and Divergence

  • Fantastic article, really makes concrete a lot of things I've internalized over the years(and the strife that can come from trying to find those global maximums).

    The end takeaway really drives this home:

    > Bottom line: we need to be strategic about our divergence (distribution of thought and assumption) and tactical about our convergence (seeking to build consensus for pragmatic reasons).

    There's very much a time and place for both, knowing when to tow the line and when to set of in a new direction is something very worthwhile of focusing on.
