People, stories, feedback and sanity
It's a few years since my first contract at a huge corporate. I was really quite surprised that, although it was hard to really work out who had official responsibility for the project, the person who had all the actual power seemed to be quite insane. He didn't actually make his horse a consul or declare war on the sea but, as seen from planet Development Team, the decisions were arbitrary, inconsistent, and somewhat distant from reality. People were afraid of him; he didn't take feedback well.
I was reading Julian at the time, and that's why the passage about how monster emperors were created resonated. I believe that isolation from any form of genuine feedback leads to madness. I don't mean stupidity, or arrogance: I mean actual losing touch with reality; floating feet off the ground in fruit-loop land.
