    A lot of people can sense it, but can’t describe it. My own ability to describe it is amateurish, clunky and abstract. I work with a lot of people who dedicate huge parts of their lives to helping people, who can’t describe it. The social scientists who worked it out are famous, but that part of their work is deemphasized even though it defines their work. And because it is deemphasized, their proponents and followers have committed any number of mistakes and just downright catastrophes.

    I’m glad to hear you were doing a social science experiment and I’m glad I could provide some validation.
