Trust-Tennis-Tweets

Trust is the currency between peoples. Destroy trust and you destroy the world. Currently, trust is eroding everywhere, interpersonal, interparty, intercountry, across the world. In the congress, in the press, in the workplace.

Trust and love have one common quality. Once lost, they are near impossible to recover.

Summing up the Reps and Dems. Problem at hand: Deciding the color of the toilet paper in congressional restrooms. Solution Reps: Unable to compromise, adjourn for vacation. Solution Dems: Unable to consider or process request, await decision from leadership.

If you watch tennis these days, you will see that every player seems to hit the ball harder than ever, with more spin, and with more skill than ever before. Many come with an entourage of personal coaches. But the dress is what you first notice, particularly if you’re not a player. Many of the men dress as though they came to mow the lawn, work on the car, or maybe sweep the court. They try, but style is not their game. Tennis is. The women, always more attentive to appearance dress far better, though not all. Their dresses are now so short that if any shorter, they might not be eligible to be called such. Tennis is their game, as well.

The American and foreign press seems to wage in their resistance a witch hunt upon the President. Even some foreign leaders are included.

As we know, Germany’s Angela Merkel is not quite best friends with the President. In WH language, she may constitute her own front of resistance, sort of a Witch Hun of the East.

Memo to John Kelly (Chief of Staff to POTUS) on TMT*: Keep the President busy early in the morning, the presidential tweet time. Example: Schedule cabinet meetings at 5am. All in good fun…

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1. Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty. This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html). U...

Problem Solving? Then Find Those Gaps

Problem Solving - Finding Gaps 12/28/2024 Introduction. Solving complex problems often arises from the presence of gaps in knowledge, resources, understanding, or perspectives. These gaps introduce uncertainty, ambiguity, or constraints, making solutions difficult to achieve. Below, we explore the primary types of gaps that complicate problem-solving and their implications. Many are of the technical, informational, theoretical, and social nature. You may discover some of these gaps are also sources of uncertainty in problem-solving, in that they supply us with another list of things that can go wrong based on something missing. Gaps also form a type of impossible problem, that will be discussed in a later chapter. Finally, this essay is about all problems and solutions, not just those of science. Contents Comprehension Gaps Consistency Gaps Solution-Type Gaps Invisible Gaps Knowledge and Evidence Gaps Methodological and Technological Gaps Ethical and Cult...

CERTAINTY IS ALSO AN EMOTION

Certainty is also a Feeling Certainty is often viewed as a mental state tied to knowledge and confidence, but it also functions as a feeling with distinct emotional and physiological components. While it arises from cognitive processes, certainty also has a subjective and emotional quality that makes it more than just a rational judgment. It provides a sense of assurance and security that shapes human experience in profound ways. Emotional Dimension . At its core, certainty evokes emotions that influence how we perceive and interact with the world. When someone feels certain, they often experience relief, comfort, or empowerment. These emotions are particularly strong when uncertainty or doubt is resolved, offering a sense of closure. For example, solving a complex problem or having a belief validated by evidence brings not just intellectual satisfaction but also emotional reassurance. Subjectivity. Certainty is inherently personal and subjective. It depends on individual...
