I frequently expect people on the Lightcone team to disagree with decisions I make, and when that happens, I will encourage them to write up their perspective and serve as a record that will make it easier to spot broader blind spots in my decision-making (and also reduce gaslighting dynamics where people feel forced to support decisions I make out of fear of being retaliated against).
I don’t know if you know this, but if you encourage this “correctly” (something that I suspect literally no one knows how to do but which we can aim for) it also helps you in that no one can accuse the team of being secretly fractious (since it would be public).
