  • ☠️No Dead Careers Here, SPaMCAST 875
    Impressions are NOT facts - No Matter What Your Gut Tells You! Stoic philosophy holds that impressions are not facts and must be tested.  Why this matters: It is very easy to jump to conclusions. In some cases, this is harmless, while in others it leads to disaster.  The question the panel faces is whether EVERY impression needs to be examined or is there a continuum.

  • 🪈 Dichotomy of Control, Stick with STIC, A Panel Discussion, SPaMCAST 874
    We only have control over ourselves! The dichotomy of control. Why it matters: We have direct control over our thoughts, judgments, and actions, but external events, other people's opinions, and the outcomes of our actions are not directly within our control.  When discussing problem statements, Jeremy Berriault stated, "stick with STIC." The alliteration was great!
