Under pressure, even rational individuals give up analytical #thinking. They make decisions using #shortcuts and #heuristics. While this is a rational behavior at the individual level, it translates into an irrational behiavor at the collective level. This relates to #groupthink, and puts everyone at risk.

They did this while the reactor continued running, marking a significant step forward in the global push to use thorium as a safer and more abundant alternative to #uranium in #nuclear #power.
The milestone was revealed at a closed-door meeting on April 8 at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), where project chief scientist Xu Hongjie shared the news with colleagues.

▻https://intimatemirror.substack.com/p/power-vulnerability-and-creative
Origin and #inspiration: Dechen was inspired to write the article after a personal realization on a plane. She sent apologetic messages to the host, acknowledging past power dynamics in their #friendship and work, having gained new empathy after stepping into more #authority herself. The article flowed from this specific insight, which then "fractaled out" to broader experiences. Key Concepts Discussed:
"Source": They use this term (from Tom Nixon’s "Work with #source";) to describe the person with creative authority in a project. This concept helps clarify power dynamics. Nature of their Collaborative Work: Their collaborations are often driven by art, soul vows, and a desire for #intimacy, truth, and beauty, rather than money. This deep personal investment (...)
