when we recommend things to each other, I wish it was standard procedure to be upfront about the costs and tradeoffs. it’s common to see social media users “sell” products, methods, frameworks or habits without ever mentioning the downside. example:

When I first read Donella Meadows' "Places to Intervene in a System" I thought it was interesting, but not much more than that I now view it as foundational; Meadows' main contribution wasn't her list of suggestions, it was the posing of the question itself.
