Going Crazy For years I tried to be calm, sane, and reasonable. I thought that was the path to being highly credible. “We’ll save the world, if our approach is non-threatening. Persuasion is the key,” I said to co-workers who were listening. “Businessmen will hear us, and politicians too. They will take our advice, and then will follow through.” But it didn’t work out that way. We find ourselves today in a sad, troubled place with the world in disarray. Events, we see, are shaped by those unhinged from reality, moved by mindless angsts, who shout to force us to agree. So I have been at work lately to become a lot like crazy. I work at it every day; it’s not a task for the lazy. The aim of my new project is changing my whole modality. When I’m carrying on plum crazy, perhaps I too can shape reality!
