I put together on my website an assessment based on on these newly published studies for intellectual humility and open-mindedness you can actually take it um you can uh I don't know if uh did I send you a link to to that actually

The biggest leading indicator that a relationship is going to fail is the same thing that indicates that a company merger is going to fail or that a new hire that you make in your company is going to fail and that is not fighting it turns out that is stopping the fight and ignoring each other you stop talking about the things that are important that's when you know things are going to fall apart.
