The one thing that almost everyone seems to agree on is that the American intelligence community is a mess.

They ... seem at times more preoccupied with reputations, budgets, and internal power struggles than with the nation's security.

Speaking of which: How long will it take for me to make it into the top 20 on the MemeStreams social network? Should we take this one to Long Bets?

In the economy as a whole, competition generates innovation and creates wealth. Decentralization is often good; independence encourages responsibility. But there are some things that people can do better together than they can apart.

It turns out that cooperation, not competition, is the real management challenge.

Decentralization and internal competition work only if people believe, and if they’re given incentives to believe, that the organization as a whole matters more than their little part of it.

MemeStreams is a community. Act like it!
