Fianna cam back from work today enthused by a seminar she attended. Francesca Gino an Italian Harvard Professor who has written a book called Rebel Talents talked about the benefits of being a rebel in your life and work and how to develop and unleash the rebel inside you. I must say that although I'm sure the seminar was interesting and full of stories I find it bizarre to write a book on how to become a rebel. Is there no sense of irony left in the world? Did nobody point out to Francesca that following instructions on how to become a rebel is the antithesis of what an actual rebel would do ? In addition to the book you can do a test to see what kind of Rebel you are. The test has four possible outcomes of which three are different kind of rebels and 1 is a non-rebel. Assuming that the population is distributed evenly between the categories that would mean there are 3x more rebels than non-rebels. Surely there is breakdown of the internal logic there? If the conformists are in a minority don't they actually become the non conformists in spite of themselves?
To be fair I should probably read the book before criticising, then again maybe that's the rebel in me.
