WARMUP:
Coffee
THE THANG:
Three big parts to the section:
1) Why persuasion is better than compulsive chicanery, or Carrots over Sticks – we debated somewhat whether the extended analogy to communism v. capitalism verges on a tangent. We also tried to work through the question of whether compulsion is appropriate in certain situations, e.g. kids, gross trouble makers, etc.
2) The primary opposing force to persuasion is procrastination – some discussion of how inertia and momentum are two sides of the same coin
3) The best way to make progress with persuasion is small, incremental movements, not wholesale conversion – I think it was generally agreed that this was the golden nugget of the Q point. High resonance. Led into some work shopping of the particular and practical application.
