Guess I should explain the "glass barrier" thing. A psychologist named Martin Seligman did an experiment where he put a barracuda in a tank with a mackerel, then placed a glass barrier between the two. The two fish would bump up against the glass and eventually get used to the glass being there. At that point Seligman pulled the glass out, and neither fish went past where the glass barrier used to be. The term he used is "learned helplessness." The aim is to post ideas that break through the non-existent barriers that bind us.
