“My employer added a clause in my last NDA [non-disclosure agreement] stating that I was prohibited from saying anything ‘disparaging’ about the company. Now when anyone asks about job postings I tell them, ‘I’m contractually obligated not to say anything disparaging about them.’ None have ever applied.” – someone on the internet

“But there is a trade off. At a societal level, we can be rich, or we can be communitarian. I don’t think we can be both – at least, not for long.” – Louise Perry.
I believe that this is quite wrong. I lived in South Korea. A surprisingly communitarian society. And we can’t accuse them of not being rich. Which they achieved in record time, as nations go – arguably, BECAUSE of their communitarianism.

An anecdote.
The other day, a lady came in with and bought a little hoppy toy chick (a wind-up baby chicken that hops around) for her little 5-year old nephew.
As they were leaving the store, she asked the boy, “What are you going to name it?”
“Zoltron!”
This seemed very important.
