How are
we going to beat CP?
My answers, such as they are, revolve 100% around us, i.e., our community, and what we're able to bring to the table. (Think "people power.") And whether we address our problems alone, in traditional teams, or in collaborative communities, success, I believe, will first and always require of us a certain attitude or approach. The word "passion" comes to mind.
So, too, does the word "gumption" -- particularly as Robert Pirsig used it years ago in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance:

So, too, does the word "gumption" -- particularly as Robert Pirsig used it years ago in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance:
If you're going to repair a motorcycle, an adequate supply of gumption is the first and most important tool. If you haven't got that you might as well gather up all the other tools and put them away, because they won't do you any good.
Gumption is the psychic gasoline that keeps the whole thing going. If you haven’t got it there’s no way the motorcycle can possibly be fixed. But if you have got it and know how to keep it there’s absolutely no way in this whole world that motorcycle can keep from getting fixed.
Our problems are more complex than fixing
Kawasakis or Yamahas. We don't even know by how much. That's all the more
reason, I think, for us to place a premium on having and keeping healthy mindsets.
