James Milley started the discussion How Do You Open a Soda Can? in the forum Bridges Member 3 weeks ago
If you were thirsty,
Would you use a chain saw to open a soda can?
Would you not prefer to open the can the way it was designed to be opened?
Humans are looking for a better future–usually through a leader that we believe can deliver that better tomorrow.
We are looking for a King with an army to secure our safety and get what we need to live.

I would propose to you that Project Hail Mary uses a number of Bridging skills…
