Today Spencer (@thebasementgamr) comes to Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) seeking guidance. Why are people out here defending systemically bad ideas? Why does it feel like we are arguing for the sake of arguing and so adverse to change? Well, Shelby can't answer all of those questions but she might be able to shine some light on how we react to these feelings.

Check out the following resources that Shelby references:
