You may find this excellent piece from @ScottHYoung valuable.
"In short, we have Reason to create reasons. Those reasons aren’t mostly for ourselves, but to make our behavior comprehensible and justifiable to other human beings.”

Thanks for sharing, Erik! Is there anything from the talk that resonated with you? Or that you would push back on?

From the always excellent, @cowenconvos. Reid on science fiction:
"there’s too little utopic science fiction..."
"Maybe the science fiction narrative form is the right way to cause that discussion and that reflection and that thinking."

When these two individuals are both saying the same thing, we should probably listen.
@danwwang and @reidhoffman on the powers of science-fiction.
"Science fiction is uniquely capable of provoking imagination for radically better futures."

Reminded me of another post by @dollarsanddata, which significantly altered the way I approach my work.
"...it’s not the errors that I do see that bother me. It’s the errors that I don’t see.“

Lessons that stick.
"Confusion feels like unresolved surprise. It’s a violation of your expectations that happened somewhere along the way that was never explained. It’s a feeling of things not quite fitting together."

While being appreciative of the role context plays in these situations (e.g. one-on-one or group), I've found that @nntaleb is on to something here in Antifragile:
"I find it better to whisper, not shout. Better to be slightly inaudible, less clear." pic.twitter.com/vVmjtrn2kL

Maybe it has to do with our tendency to rely more on our intuition with larger decisions, due to the apparent complexity?
This recent post by @robinhanson may be of interest - I think it offers some interesting corollaries.

Maybe it's due to control and the ever increasing ability to direct our energy?

Not really 🧐:
"diamonds are not forever, at least on the surface of this planet. It is, in fact, diamond’s sibling structure, graphite, that is the more stable form, and so all diamonds,..., are actually turning slowly into graphite."

Diamonds are forever:
"The word diamond is derived from the Greek adamas, meaning “unalterable” or “unbreakable.”"

Glass and its role within our culture:
"The very thing that we value it for has also disqualified it from our affections: it is inert and invisible, not just optically, but culturally."

That's a superb recommendation - loved how he was able to weave in and out of Da Vinci's life, really showcasing his curiosity!

How about the Renaissance, with an emphasis on the Medici and Florence?
