Ashcroft & SilentValkyrie
I was thinking about how the old Norse thingsman assemblies might actually offer some surprisingly clean frameworks for modern corporate decision‑making.
The Thing was all about consensus, not corporate ego. If you drop the sacred horn, the hammer, and a shamanic skald to read the verdict, you’ll still be stuck with a boardroom full of polite silence and a chair that’s too comfy.
True, but even those old assemblies had strict rules to keep the discussion moving—no endless polite silence and a chair that was just comfortable enough to keep people there. If we emulate that, we cut the fluff and get real decisions.
