The Mighty Transformation

A Transformation is often just a change, but the where, when, and how of that change play big roles. A simple transformation may be only a change of mind. A big transformation may take raw earth into a magnificent tower. The houses of manufacturing are the homes of transformations. The craft of psychoanalysis is the engine of behavior transformation. A scissors may serve as a tool of transformation at the salon. Other transformations pertain to the biological, digital, physical, psychological, political, mathematical, chemical, and evolutionary.

Within the human genre, often many steps are in between beginning to end. The full scope, you ask? We say a Transformation is an

Idea transformed to a

Results

You plan them, experience them, supervise them, and revel in them. Moreover, you enjoy, or fear, and partake in them. A life without transformations is almost impossible. Just possible is the notion that transformations comprise the most interesting parts of living.

Transformation. One of our truly big words, in every way.

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. ...

Where is AI (Artificial Intelligence) Going?

How to view Artificial Intelligence (AI). Imagine you go to the store to buy a TV, but all they have are 1950s models, black and white, circular screens, picture rolls, and picture imperfect, no remote. You’d say no thanks. Back in the day, they sold wildly. The TV was a must-have for everyone with $250 to spend* (about $3000 today). Compared to where AI is today, this is more or less where TVs were 70 years ago. In only a few decades AI will be advanced beyond comprehension, just like TVs today are from the 50s viewpoint. Just like we could not imagine where the video concept was going back then, we cannot really imagine where AI is going. Buckle up. But it will be spectacular. *Back then minimum wage was $0.75/hr. Thus, a TV cost more than eight weeks' wages. -------------------------

Small Schools

In a NYC study it appears that smaller schools have a higher graduation rates that the large megaschools. Research has found that 70% of students from small schools graduated on time, while just 61% of the students who were turned away managed to earn diplomas in four years.

So, what can be done in light of this striking new discovery? The simple answer is to turn the large mega-schools into smaller institutions. This can be achieved by simply creating many schools within the large one. A norm for centuries within universities with their colleges of disciplines, but for varying majors, it does create local communities within a large setting. Here is the proposal....
