@eanakashima@hachyderm.io Ha, didn't know boating people used that as well - motorcycle people are told "do not look at the tree" (or more generally, look where you want to go, not what you want to avoid). The Wikipedia page is disappointingly terse, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_fixation .

@eanakashima@hachyderm.io Had a CEO once who announced new things by talking about all the ills of whatever necessitated the new thing, then added a "oh, by the way, this is the new thing we will do" - I ended up tuning out whenever he was talking, until he started to sound like he were starting to wind down. It's an atrocious communication style.

@eanakashima@hachyderm.io EXACTLY!! I was just talking about this here yesterday with someone naysaying & spreading hopeless cynicism towards my positive vision…and shortly after an interview with Rebecca Solnit expressing this was posted on YT, and now this. I feel the universe is vindicating me in my arguments & pov. And giving me more examples to better express it.
