On Government III





Characteristics of most western governments.  With the emergence of what may now be called virtual political system, it seems not to matter who is in charge.  It only matters they think right. Eliminate Trump – get another Trump (though difficult).  Eliminate Merkel – get another Merkel.  Eliminate Clinton – get another Clinton.  Corruption has become a small form factor, being unfortunate but of little significance.  Incompetence is another small form factor, but the narrative is supremely paramount.  You gotta say the right thing. 

Basically, governments have individually become systemic forces under recognizance only to themselves.  On the government...

·       It appears to be not responsible to the people, but it follows its own code. 

·       It demands a universal PPM manual (Policy and Procedures Manual with massive regulations) for every function. 

·       It demands huge legislative measures that no member of congress can understand. 

·       It makes decisions outside the scrutiny of overseeing public officials. 

·       It wants and has arranged a totally polarized governing body.  This implies little is done and can be done by congress. 

·       It seeks control to manage and dictate all measures of its citizens. 

·       The government has developed such an array of regulations, it is virtually impossible for any general oversight, and even local intra-agency oversight is diminishing.

·       It operates essentially outside the traditional three branches of government, functioning only in and of itself. 

·       With the new ACA (Affordable Care Act or alternative) now linked with the IRS, the government becomes a powerful, intimidating force against its citizens - thereby requiring desired behavior. 

·       With the recent suspension of the majority Senate rules, the government can exploit to make appointments sustaining and enhancing government power. This will diminish some congressmen from proper considerations on the basis of their state.  States' power is  drastically reduced. (USA)

Systemic forces are almost impossible to defeat, there being no clear target. They are integrated, embedded, intrinsic, and inviolate.  It is like trying to defeat the very air we breathe.

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 ORIGINS OF IMPOSSIBLE PROBLEMS

The Origins of Impossible Problems Introduction. Impossible problems have always been a part of the landscape of human thought. They arise from various sources, often rooted in cognitive, logical, or structural limitations. Some problems are truly unsolvable due to fundamental constraints, while others only appear impossible because of human limitations in understanding, reasoning, or approach. In many situations, we make difficult problems impossible because of our limitations, psychological and otherwise. It is a curious thought problem to consider what sort of limitations AI will reveal when we give it truly difficult problems to solve. We must hope that we humans have not transferred our complete reliance and dependence to machine-learning tools beforehand. Below are key sources of seemingly impossible problems, along with examples and a few references to philosophical and scientific thought. Impossible Problems . To explore impossible problems, we must consider our systems fo...

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...
