Augmenting Intelligence as a Drug

Augmenting your intelligence feels like a high. It’s a powerful drug. It feels thrilling and amazing when you use it but when the high wears off there are racoons in your kitchen eating your trash and you are half dressed sleeping on the floor. You have a headache. You have to go to work now and actually do work. But all you can think of is the next high. And if you get to day dreaming about your next dose, then that helps fulfill one of the attributes of addiction. The other is if it interferes with your ability to fulfill your role at work.

Parking Lot

At my work, our team meets daily to discuss our goings on but I think the part I think everyone gets the most utility from is the affectionately named parking lot, where we talk through issues that are blocking people in their efforts and the team does ad hoc resolution sessions.
