It is Important to Remember...

The other day I was feeling like nothing was happening, that I'm not getting anywhere, and  there were few prospects.  Then it occurred to me that I have done a lot of things and I shouldn't forget it.  The spark that was is still there.  I thought to write it down.  And then I added a few more.

It is important to remember ...
  • All you have achieved.
  • What is not important.
  • What is important.
  • Your goals, and to form new ones.
  • Your friends; they are the shadows of your personality.
  • Your childhood; all you are is rooted there.
  • Your parents; their signature is a goodly part of you.
It is important to..
  • Enjoy living.
  • Exercise your mind and body.
  • Love much; hate not too much.
  • Help out, when you can.
  • Have favorite things.
  • Honor and appreciate your friends.
  • Forget grudges, even if you can't forgive them.
  • Drive on calmly, despite all the morons on the road.
  • Keep your tank full.
  • Listen to good music.
  • Know a few really good jokes.
  • Read a lot in wide venues.
  • Have a personal philosophy.
  • Have faith and beliefs; they form powerful mental capacities.
  • Enjoy, love, and respect your children - even like them.
  • Try new things.

Behavioral Science and Problem-Solving

I.                                       I.                 Introduction.                Concerning our general behavior, it’s high about time we all had some understanding of how we operate on ourselves, and it is just as important how we are operated on by others. This is the wheelhouse of behavioral sciences. It is a vast subject. It touches our lives constantly. It’s influence is pervasive and can be so subtle we never notice it. Behavioral sciences profoundly affect our ability and success at problem-solving, from the elementary level to highly complex wicked problems. This is discussed in Section IV. We begin with the basics of behavioral sciences, Section II, and then through the lens of multiple categories and examples, Section III. II.     ...

The Lemming Instinct

  In certain vital domains, a pervasive mediocrity among practitioners can stifle genuine advancement. When the intellectual output of a field is predominantly average, it inevitably produces research of corresponding quality. Nevertheless, some of these ideas, by sheer chance or perhaps through effective dissemination, will inevitably gain traction. A significant number of scholars and researchers will gravitate towards these trends, contributing to and propagating further work along these established lines. Such a trajectory allows an initially flawed concept to ascend to the status of mainstream orthodoxy. However, over an extended period, these prevailing ideas invariably fail to withstand rigorous scrutiny; they are ultimately and conclusively disproven. The disheartening pattern then reveals itself: rather than genuine progress, an equally unvalidated or incorrect idea often supplants the discredited one, swiftly establishing its own dominance. This cycle perpetuates, ensurin...

Principles of Insufficiency and Sufficiency

   The principles we use but don't know it.  1.      Introduction . Every field, scientific or otherwise, rests on foundational principles—think buoyancy, behavior, or democracy. Here, we explore a unique subset: principles modified by "insufficiency" and "sufficiency." While you may never have heard of them, you use them often. These terms frame principles that blend theory, practicality, and aspiration, by offering distinct perspectives. Insufficiency often implies inaction unless justified, while sufficiency suggests something exists or must be done. We’ll examine key examples and introduce a new principle with potential significance. As a principle of principles of these is that something or some action is not done enough while others may be done too much. The first six (§2-6) of our principles are in the literature, and you can easily search them online. The others are relatively new, but fit the concepts in the real world. At times, these pri...
