Comment on The Days of Freedom’s Labors by Kirk Petersen

Jason, I fully support the spirit behind your proposal — freedom isn’t free, respect for rule of law, pluralism over partisanship. I couldn’t agree more.

But I don’t think your specific proposal for a new holiday is practical. In our lifetime, the day of remembrance for the terrorist attacks will never be known as anything other than 9-11, and it will never occur on any day other than September 11.

Besides, we already have too many government holidays. But thanks for a thought-provoking post.

[...] But let me not get too far down the road of pleasing vacations and crowded stores. The point is, a week-long celebration of freedom’s labors fits our times and fits our unique national identity. It is distinctly non-partisan. By its nature, it is an appropriate time for dissent as well as assent. And that may be the greatest value of the Days of Freedom’s Labors: reminding all Americans that our progressive, prosperous society – where everyone gets a chance, and every vote counts – is built or abandoned in proportion not to how much we rigidly agree – but by how hard, how honestly, and how respectfully we labor for the rule of law, and institutions and businesses governed by the Golden and Silver rules.

Comment on The Ethical Taint of Post-It Notes — and the Power of a Company Policy by Jason B. Meyer

Mike –

Thanks for noticing my diatribes! I have just started “Nudge,” and (like you) for me it seems to put names to phenomena I have ruminated about throughout my career. The business of compliance — my business as a corporate lawyer, part of your business as an HR professional — is choice architecture, although we cannot afford to be sanguine about the outcomes.

For you and your readers who are interested in the intersection of behavioral econ and corporate behavior, you might like this post of mine and in the interview I cite therein.

Keep on ‘tribin’!
