"The obligatory China or Japan chapter. Is Japan unique in its uniqueness? Or is its obsession with Japeneseness unique? Lots of questions, limited answers in this chapter that blows a bit hot and cold. Also wished for a little less namedropping." Mar 09, 2026 08:38PM

Book cover for Industrial-Strength Denial: Eight Stories of Corporations Defending the Indefensible, from the Slave Trade to Climate Change
In short, not only was bondage a form of freedom and kindness while abolition was a form of violence, but the enslavement of Africans showed respect for the rights of Africans.
Hans De Keulenaer
While we sometimes may feel that society is regressing, there is significant long-term progress in society related to the type of argumentations that we find acceptable. Considering today's sensitivities, the communications surrounding slavery in the 18th and 19th century come over as incredible.

Peter M. Senge
“Our prevailing system of management has destroyed our people. People are born with intrinsic motivation, self-respect, dignity, curiosity to learn, joy in learning. The forces of destruction begin with toddlers—a prize for the best Halloween costume, grades in school, gold stars—and on up through the university. On the job, people, teams, and divisions are ranked, reward for the top, punishment for the bottom. Management by Objectives, quotas, incentive pay, business plans, put together separately, division by division, cause further loss, unknown and unknowable.”
Peter M. Senge, The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization
