  • When someone doesn't believe in the goal of the collective they try to stick out in a new direction.
    • They bet their direction will be more valuable.
    • But a) it's more fun to do your thing than the existing thing and
    • b) misaligned energy erodes the strength of the collective's pull.
    • The smarter someone is, the more charismatic, the more they decohere it.
    • Which is like death to the existing collective.
    • Sometimes it really is radically better and everyone is better off.
    • But if it's not it just grinds down the team.
