Being a parent raises so many urgent, concrete questions—Will this
movie cause nightmares? Is this enough sunscreen? Where are the
Cheez-Its?—that the abstract ones often slip beneath the surface,
only to emerge later, unbidden. In the morning, making breakfast, you
can look up from the waffle mix to see your kids and think, Wait—did
I make these people? On lifeguard duty, you can feel suddenly watched
by an imaginary adult version of the child in the pool and wonder, How
much of that grownup already exists, and how much has yet to arrive?
Parents know their children with astonishing, intimate specificity,
and yet each child is also an unknown—a whole and separate
individual living an independent life in your house. This duality
contributes to both the challenge and the thrill of raising children.

THE DEMOCRATS came to their convention in Chicago to praise Joe Biden,
and to bury him. No one wanted to dwell on the recent unpleasantness,
on how a handful of party eminences pried the nomination from his
clenched hands like so many adult children compelling their fading
father to surrender the car keys. Suddenly, it was hard to find anyone
who thought nominating Mr Biden again, at the age of 81, was ever a
good idea, no matter how many Democratic officials used to insist it
was. By the time the convention began on August 19th the last of Joe
Biden’s many campaigns had come to seem sad, even scary, certainly
embarrassing: time to leave it behind.

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=52505&nl=daily]
Previous research has found that new ideas are seen as risky and are
often rejected. New research suggests that this rejection can be due
to people’s lack of shared criteria or reference points when
evaluating a potential innovation’s value. In a new paper, the
authors find that the more novel the idea, the more people differ on
their perception of its value. They also found that disagreement
itself can make people view ideas as risky and make them less likely
to support them, regardless of how novel the idea is. To help teams
get on the same page when it comes to new ideas, they suggest
gathering information about evaluator’s reference points and
developing criteria that can lead to more focused discussions.
