Stop Compromising. Find the Intersection.
Show notes
We're taught that compromise is a virtue. But what if it's often a failure to find a better solution?
Compromise typically means weakening two objectives until neither party gets what they really wanted.
There's another approach: find the intersection.
In this episode we explore how the molecular mechanism behind human vision reveals a surprisingly powerful approach to solving everyday problems. Using conical intersections and mathematical optimization we uncover five practical principles for finding solutions without unnecessarily sacrificing what matters.
From relationships and careers to negotiations and product development, the lesson is simple:
Don't weaken your objectives. Change the conditions until they can coexist.
