Terrorist Conspiracy Theory

This is a conspiracy theory about large-scale terrorist attacks.  Beware of such theories as they are mostly plausibility arguments gleaned from a sequence of events.  So, be suspicious and critical.  We do our theory by the numbers.

1.  First of all, it seems the big terrorist organizations such as ISIS can strike at will really wherever and whenever they so choose.  They have “soldiers” willing to give their lives in the cause of terror.  These are not occasional, random attacks, but well planned logistically and technically.  They could strike somewhere in the world frequently, perhaps even weekly, but do not.  Why?

2. These organizations also have a strong survival instinct.  They know that weekly attacks will result in the overwhelming response even from the most globalist of countries to strike back, annihilating their bases, their funding, and their very organizations.   

3. So, they face an optimization problem, which is to survive while creating a recurrent sense of fear.   Probably no one anywhere goes to a major event these days without thinking of the possibility of a bombing. Almost all discount it because such are relatively rare.  This means some timing between major terrorist events is necessary.  Already, London is habituated to such by the current Mayor’s comments that such events are now a part of our lives.  Live with them is the admonition. What was once unthinkable has become expected. You know, the new normal.

Now, for the conspiracy part of this discussion.  Big events such as in Nice, Brussels, Manchester, London, Berlin, San Bernardino and others must be timed and coordinated so as not to exceed a frequency that will demand a serious response. This is it.  The implication is terrorist’s attacks are centrally organized and executed. The plan is to create sustained and growing fear and continue to do so safely from their homes, claiming responsibility especially when the perpetrators are killed. One desired result is to encourage the emergence of leaders who sympathize with terrorist demands. 

Calculate a four to twelve month differential between attacks.   The next big one will likely come this fall, but who knows where?

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...
