Goldilocks and the Trojan Horse
Creating and Maintaining Coalitions
“Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches Had bellies with stars.
The Plain-Belly Sneetches
Had none upon thars.
Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small You might think such a thing
wouldn’t matter at all.
But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches Would brag, ‘We’re the best
kind of Sneetch on the beaches.’
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort ‘We’ll have nothing to
do with the Plain-Belly sort!’”
Dr. Seuss
emories of her greatness have faded, but no one did more for women’s
suffrage in America than Lucy Stone. In 1855, she took a stand for
women’s rights that moved thousands to follow in her footsteps, calling
themselves Lucy Stoners in homage. Over the next century, the Lucy Stone
League included aviator Amelia Earhart, poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, and artist
Georgia O’Keeffe. Among today’s women who qualify as Lucy Stoners are
Beyoncé, Sheryl Sandberg, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Spanx founder Sara
Blakely.

Sprinting is a fine strategy for a young genius, but becoming an old master
requires the patience of experimentation to run a marathon. Both are paths to
creativity. Yet for those of us who aren’t struck by a bolt of insight, slow and
steady experimentation can light the way to a longer stretch of originality. “Of
course, not every unaccomplished 65-year-old is some undiscovered
experimental innovator,” author Daniel Pink reflects. “But it might bolster the
resolve of the relentlessly curious, the constantly tinkering, the dedicated
tortoises undaunted by the blur of the hares.”

Good things come to those who wait, and for experimentalists, it’s never too
late to become original. After Frank Lloyd Wright received the contract for
Fallingwater, his most celebrated architectural work, he procrastinated for nearly
a year while making sporadic drawings before finally completing the design at
age sixty-eight. Raymond Davis shared the Nobel Prize in physics for research
that he started at fifty-one and finished at the tender age of eighty. The more
experiments you run, the less constrained you become by your ideas from the
past. You learn from what you discover in your audience, on the canvas, or in
the data. Instead of getting mired in the tunnel vision of your imagination, by
looking out into the world you improve the acuity of your peripheral vision.

To sustain our originality as we age and accumulate expertise, our best bet is
to adopt an experimental approach. We can make fewer plans in advance for
what we want to create, and start testing out different kinds of tentative ideas and
solutions. Eventually, if we’re patient enough, we may stumble onto something
that’s novel and useful. The experimental approach served Leonardo da Vinci
well: he was forty-six when he finished painting The Last Supper and in his early
fifties when he started working on the Mona Lisa. “Only by drawing did he truly
come to understand, was his vision clarified,” one scholar wrote; another
observed that “Leonardo works like a sculptor modelling in clay who never
accepts any form as final but goes on creating, even at the risk of obscuring his
original intentions.”

Conceptual innovators tend to generate original ideas early but risk copying
themselves. The experimental approach takes longer, but proves more
renewable: instead of reproducing our past ideas, experiments enable us to
continue discovering new ones. Mark Twain published Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn at age forty-nine using a “trial-and-error method,” scholars
note, and “discovered his pliable plot as he went along, writing without a
definite resolution or plan in mind.” Twain himself commented, “As the short
tale grows into the long tale, the original intention (or motif) is apt to get
abolished and find itself superseded by a quite different one.”

There are likes and dislikes.

They call their loved ones every day without reminders, ask about health and mood, give flowers with or without a reason, circle on their hands at a meeting and give warm mittens when you constantly forget them at home on cold days.

With the unloved speak stiffly. Every word spoken out of place causes a storm of irritation. They are remembered when they are bored, have nothing to do, have not had s*x for a long time. You don't have to be nice to them when you're not in the mood. For them, there are no holidays and reasons to please something. With them, you can do everything that you do not need to do in principle.

How are you around someone? What do you feel after? Happiness or emptiness?

Choose what you see for yourself - prosperity and harmony or despondency and uselessness. But the logic itself suggests: leave only those who love nearby. Exclusively. Send the rest to destroy someone else's garden. We need to bloom!
