while people might care which company they join, they don’t care which company they work for. The truth is that, once there, people care which team they’re on.
Nine Lies About Work
Marcus Buckingham, Ashley Goodall
For example, everyone knew they inherited 50 percent of their genes from their mother, and the other half from their father, right? Well, no. HLI’s initial findings indicated that most humans introduced at least 50,000 entirely fresh and unknown rungs into their personal DNA, about 8,500 of which had never been seen in any other individual thus far sequenced. Bloom called this the Wheel of Fortune, because the new genes were utterly new and random mutations. True, they constituted only a small percentage of your total DNA—nevertheless, the shift could introduce entirely new proteins. Maybe they would throw a wrench in your genes, or maybe they would make you smarter or stronger. There was no way of knowing. That was how the evolutionary lottery worked; that was why species evolved slowly, and why each of us is as different as a newly fallen snowflake.

Teachers design a Question Focus (e.g., “Torture can be justified”). Students produce questions (no help from the teacher; no answering or debating the questions; write down every question; change any statements into questions). Students improve their questions (opening and closing them). Students prioritize their questions. They are typically instructed to come to agreement on three favorites. Students and teachers decide on next steps, for acting on the prioritized questions. Students reflect on what they have learned.
