As a member of the supposed “smarter and more reasonable” group, I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I am short-circuited by this Thinkie: if I had more time, I would do more things... without changing how much I cut corners on each. (And I keep coming back to that no matter how hard I try).
Does this mean that I am not cutting enough counters (this can’t possibly be true!) and if I did I could do more/better today? Or does it mean that I am afraid to lose the excuse of not having enough time? I really don’t know (yet). In either case my hat is off to you for this delightful Thinkie (how do you come up with these?!) as it is already prompting some much needed reflections.
Being an "authority" seems to mean that you must now be the fount of unassailable truths and can never make a mistake. It looks like what you've done here is to give yourself permission to be wrong, and to acknowledge that is always a possibility, and that you're OK with it. What would it feel like if you can do that everywhere and not just here? (Also, I suppose this annoys people who want YOU to be the source of truth so THEY don't have to do the work of testing the ideas).
It seems to. I've recently been getting comments of the form, "I thought better of you..." Still trying to figure out what value that information has for me.
None -- it's about them and their experiences and internal dialog. Generally an attack has nothing to do with the person being attacked, it just means that the attacker is struggling with something of their own.

These are all great questions that you’ll have to answer for yourself. Thinkies generate ideas. You have to decide if they are good.
In the case of Abundance, if you are a habitual corner cutter then it will generate contrarian ideas. This might be valuable but also difficult.
