From Expert to Explorer
- People tend to gravitate to different sides of the explore/exploit spectrum. If you are high on openness, like I am, exploring comes easy.

They miss better avenues for... See more

- There are two mindsets people tend to have: explorer or settler. Our society has a “settler” mindset, our end goals are “finalizing” (home, marriage, career, etc.) in a world that was made for evolution, in selves that do nothing but grow and expand and change.

good folks are pushing hard across the entire range of human endeavors to find new ways to see, better ways to work.

How hard it is to get those with assets and authority to l
