How did you come to this weird world-view? People argue, politely, in every meeting I attend at work, in my hobbies, and while gathering at social functions.

In the tech world:

- Musk, Zuckerberg, Trump, Bezos, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Travis Kalanick,

In politics:

- Trump, Xi, Putin, Biden [0], Obama [1]. When the republican party couldn't elect a chair, they were seen as dysfunctional.

If you can't sing together, the purpose fails:

- Quibi: founders disagreed. company failed.

- The Beatles (Lennon vs. McCartney)

- Soviet Union: Central Communist Party wanted to preserve the union, but republics (Baltic states, Ukraine, Georgia, etc.) demanded independence.

- Yugoslavia: Deep ethnic, religious, and national divides (Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, Slovenes, etc.), each with different visions of the future.

[0] - Biden fired Gerald B. Wright for loyalty to Trump. Rodney Scott disagreed with Biden's immigration strategy and was also fired.

[1] - General Stanley McChrystal was fired for critical comments about Obama.
