I'm a T1D and tbh it's not that hard to manage, I just wouldn't need that. But for kids or the elderly, I see a use case. The hardest to learn was that an unhealthy lifestyle resulted in a diabetes that was harder to manage.

I thought "Dominate or be dominated" was the problem you saw in democracy? Well, then I guess Germany's example is not too bad. "CDU/CSU + SPD coalition won a majority" ... well, no. That's not how it work

"But I will say that trying to solve this problem by hiring more perfect humans is a fool’s errand." No worries. I want to help him, not fire him. I guess the team's situation is a bit odd at the moment.

"What action will he be able to take by pointing out he might have dyslexia?" I definitely agree, that's why I wouldn't tell him that. The json stuff was just an example. I see your point about the positive side of it. I

We had that culture in the team until recently, if not that structured. The mentioned problems took an emotional toll, I suspect. Maybe we should formalize the process around this. Thanks for your insight!

And yes. Everything I like is good-label, everything I don't is bad-label. I happen to like democracy and value viewpoints from conservative to leftist. I don't like fascism.
