It's very common, almost 1 in 3, to _not_ have a website or online presence (~10mm+ small businesses have no online presence or site) in 2025.

Absolutely, I've long-doubted the usefulness of a CEO vs the theory of a self-organizing co-op.

"My experience has shown that a very cohesive team who like and appreciate each other, but is made of middle-ability individuals is much, much more productive to my measure as the boss than a team comprised of high-ability, but un-cohesive (non-cohesive?) individuals."

Very much this - to an extent, you need some deep-divers in places but the non-cohesive teams, I find, end up with a similar performance but lower levels of employee satisfaction.

Having worked in a variety of settings and witnessing varying levels of team performance within those, this is what I, personally, have come to believe is true.

You're gonna have to cite some kind of example of what you believe pseudo-science is if you're saying critical thinking was somehow detrimental to someone intellectually. That's actually a hilarious feedback loop of a statement, considering they decided to attend a university. I assume it wasn't to study the art of plumbing?

Curious when the last time you actually _used_ tf was, I'm assuming quite a while ago, given your comments here.

Absolutely, I know a handful of these people, many are top performers/excellent at their jobs when they are able to stay above a pit of despair (have a fillable prescription).
