Looks like we're on our way to our first government shutdown under Trump 2.0, and he's not even in office yet. Congress had a budget deal, but Trump + Elon Musk spiked it. And if there's no deal by midnight Saturday, here we go again. The chaos has started and it isn't even January.

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat. A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine. Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.
