Nina Davtian (that's me!) at her work office, with the laptop screen showing the header of her co-authored preprint by Elling and Inglis et al. Earth and Space Science Open Archive (https://doi.org/10.22541/essoar.176409484.44403346/v1) with her name highlighted in the author list—Nina is the third author of the list.

A quotation from Erich Fromm

Most people are not even aware of their need to conform. They live under the illusion that they follow their own ideas and inclinations, that they are individualists, that they have arrived at their opinions as the result of their own thinking — and that it just happens that their ideas are the same as those of the majority. The consensus of all serves as a proof for the correctness of “their” ideas.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980) American psychoanalyst and social philosopher
The Art of Loving, ch. 2 (1956)

Consultation

One of the new skills for TDG governance is using consultative decision making.

I will be the first to say that consultation is easier said than done. We've had a long history of using power and democracy to make decisions. These habits are hard to break:
