Tuesday Morning Reading: Collaboration

No, I’m not starting a Tuesday edition of Sunday Morning Reading. But it is a Tuesday morning, and I want to link to two pieces about collaboration that are very much worth your time given there’s a race to see who can collaborate more quickly with the current regime of evil in the U.S. First up, John Gruber in Daring Fireball takes on the broad gulf in the Gulf of Mexico (America) debate in a well reasoned, often too nuanced post entitled Golfo del Gringo Loco. Follow that up with Essay: Home Of the Brave? Really? by Anand Giridharadas. Anand sets aside nuance and hits hard on collaboration and collaborating and his points are more than well made. So are Gruber’s. The opposite of collaboration is resistance. At some point that becomes self defense. When you start hearing those words, we’re not just sailing into trouble, we’re deep in the maelstrom. I expect we’ll hear them sooner rather than later. Give an inch, they’ll take everything.
