Diferenciação, diferenciação, diferenciação

Recordar este postal sobre a convivência pacífica de diferentes espécies no mesmo meio abiótico consumindo diferentes recursos "OMG... e vão viver de quê? (parte VIII) ou Mt 11, 25".
.
Depois, ler este pequeno texto de Scott McKain "Another’s distinction does not prohibit yours" onde se pode ler esta mensagem importante:
"You see, just because another is distinctive within your field does not prohibit you from finding a way to stand out and move up."
 Uma versão ilustrada pode ser esta:
BTW, ler o que se descreve aqui como a "beach theory" e a introdução do capítulo 25 de "Thinking, Fast and Slow":
"One day in the early 1970s, Amos handed me a mimeographed essay by a Swiss economist named Bruno Frey, which discussed the psychological assumptions of economic theory. I vividly remember the color of the cover: dark red. Bruno Frey barely recalls writing the piece, but I can still recite its first sentence: “The agent of economic theory is rational, selfish, and his tastes do not change.” I was astonished. My economist colleagues worked in the building next door, but I had not appreciated the profound difference between our intellectual worlds. To a psychologist, it is self-evident that people are neither fully rational nor completely selfish, and that their tastes are anything but stable. Our two disciplines seemed to be studying different species, which the behavioral economist Richard Thaler later dubbed Econs and Humans. Unlike Econs, the Humans that psychologists know have a System 1. Their view of the world is limited by the information that is available at a given moment (WYSIATI), and therefore they cannot be as consistent and logical as Econs. They are sometimes generous and often willing to contribute to the group to which they are attached. And they often have little idea of what they will like next year or even tomorrow."
