Such a thoughtful post, Michał! The Red Queen Effect is a powerful reminder to focus on meaningful progress rather than just keeping up. I enjoyed your insights on running in the right direction.

Also, thank you so much for including my article in your Discover Weekly section. I truly appreciate it!

It's a well-deserved mention — I've just recently learned about low/high-context cultures.

Thank you, Doina, for the kind words!

The trick isn’t to outpace the Red Queen.

Most of us don’t suffer from lack of speed, but from lack of clarity. Essentialism says: less, but better. If you know what truly matters, you don’t need to run twice as fas t— you just need to move once, in the right direction.

📌 Focus is the real competitive advantage.
