The very existence of the Tiramisu bear, then, holds a story—one that recurs and recurs with such striking regularity that we can treat it as a pattern—of a male grizzly expanding its habitat northwards and finding a female polar bear alone

“There’s a story Rabbi Elliot Kukla once told that illustrates how highly empathic people accompany others. Kukla knew a woman who, because of a brain injury, would sometimes fall to the floor. People would rush to immediately get her back on her feet. She told Kukla, “I think people rush to help me up because they are so uncomfortable with seeing an adult lying on the floor. But what I really need is for someone to get down on the ground with me.”34 Sometimes you just need to get down on the floor with someone.”

“A person who is primarily interested in consolidating his career has a tendency, Kegan observes, to “seal up,” to become less open to deep relationships. Such a person also has a tendency to detach from his or her emotions. Later in life he may wonder how he managed to suppress so many feelings. You can begin to see why most people eventually rebel against this consciousness. Career success fails to satisfy. The sense of self, which once seemed so exciting to build, now feels a little claustrophobic. People tire of following the formulas the world uses to define “success.”

“We are entering a world where we are going back to a pre–Industrial Revolution, craftsmanlike experience. A small group of people who understand engineering, sales, marketing, finance, and design are going to be able to manage armies of generative AI and put all of these pieces together.”

“Why did it take so long for adult neurogenesis to be accepted? I’ve interacted with many of the principals and am struck by their differing takes. At one extreme is the view that while skeptics like Rakic were ham-handed, they provided quality control and that, counter to how path-of-the-hero epics go, some early work in the field was not all that solid. At the other extreme is the view that Rakic et al., having failed to find adult neurogenesis, couldn’t accept that it existed. This psychohistorical view, of the old guard clinging to dogma in the face of changing winds, is weakened a bit by Altman’s not having been a young anarchist running amok in the archives; in fact, he is a bit older than Rakic and other principal skeptics. All of this needs to be adjudicated by historians, screenwriters, and soon, I hope, by the folks in Stockholm.”
