That having been said (sic), I am quite comfortable with my level of critical thinking. My more formalistic scholarly and general interest work is published elsewhere; I use this blog mainly as a way to float a variety of ideas relating to media engagement, which are reflected in the over 100 postings over the last few years. Check out the archives when you get a chance.<br /><br />What I read from these comments: a) other people have floated this 30% theory before me (yet) b) you need to cultivate your own creative thinking; c) Ed is a good guy; d) the marketplace is fair, and compensates workers accordingly. <br /><br />Of these, I agree with c); Ed has the courage and good graces to debate me with good intentions, for which I am very grateful. I look forward to meeting and intellectually tussling with Ed in person someday. <br /><br />I am puzzled by Colby's vehement disagreement wit me about age diversity in the workplace, as that was the very point I was pushing in response to the '30% 20something proposal'. <br /><br />Ironically, we agree on the need for divergent perspectives in the creative workspace, one that ideally incorporating differences in age, gender, race, upbringing, etc. I wish him the best in this tough job market, and hopes he reconsiders his antipathy towards Boston. : ) To Edward and Colby:
