Please don’t post this comment. Just a minor correction. If Berkley is supposed to be The University of California, that is Berkeley. If it is the Boston Music School that is Berklee. I assume you mean the second.

I’ve been a small group leader, and been overwhelmed by the details that make up day-to-day work. This guy choice a career in an industry that a lot of people want to enter. He gets more information than he can handle. An he has to make snap decisions on a subject which he can rationalize, but never explain: what does it mean if someone has potential.

I think writing like this is really important. When you de-demonize the people behind that curtains, when you help someone see what an antagonist may pass through to get to where they are, you help the world become a more peaceful place. Doesn’t mean you have to like the industry, or even approve of the people that join it. But it keeps you from hating them, and maybe other any vilified groups as well.

Very interesting.

I can’t wait for the next installment!
