I'm a beginner, so it's helping me see the big picture. One advice: Browse books in the bookstore and library, and figure out the seasoned authors whose prose connects with you. It's …

I'm using "How to Design Programs", 2nd edition, and it's helpful. It's on Amazon, and free online by Felleisen and colleagues here: https://htdp.org/2018-01-…

I wonder if we could build a decentralized system of a 6th dimension ? Based on the US military doctrine, we've got 5 dimensions: air, sea, land, space, and cyber. There are 4 dimensions design…

That's been my observation too. Something that might help: check your alumni programs, they may give access to subscriptions. Your public library may also have them; I was surprised at the amoun…

I agree, the interaction of languages helps us appreciate the world. And that's a useful quote from Wendell Johnson. It reminds me of Wittgenstein's words, "The limits of my language m…

Exactly, I think you hit at it when you write: "it seems to me you are considering that maybe the world doesn't operate from a higher point of view as a "system", or that system is…

Exactly, sample sizes will have to increase with the selective threshold. I'm surprised the authors don't talk about 'practical significance' vs 'statistical significance'…

That's a good observation. This also makes me wonder if one key reason why Ted Nelson's Project Xanadu didn't take off was because it was too complex from the start?

Very interesting, this made me think of Pareto Principle and then as I read down, Wikipedia cites this. Also, I found it neat that Daniel Dennett uses this as a tool for critical thinking.

I'll check this out, thanks, this gets to the granularity, though I still wonder if our languages, to date, are primitive, and blocking us off from thinking of categories different from 'sys…

This is interesting, especially with the points on "Establishment of an effective frame of reference" and "Crafting of a unifying lexicon", thank you. I still wonder if we're…

This made me think of your point, too: "what we do know about actual evolution seems to support Gall's Law." But I do wonder if this world is one big 'system'? Or is it somet…

Likewise, I'd see endless commercials of Shen Yun in papers and TV shows. I checked out a different, neat, performance in China but didn't see SY. This makes me think of the strategy the gr…

This is interesting, there's something deep in many humans' tendency to follow. I wonder if it has something to do with being in a world (i.e., a "system") that people are still tr…

That's certainly one view. I'm sure there will be many books and case studies on this as time passes and more facts are revealed. Tangible evidence (e.g., taped conversations) would be inter…

Good points, these are useful ways to confront it. Sometimes, I also think of Andy Grove's motto, "only the paranoid survive", which helps to check and challenge ideas.

"I think the connection between scientology and Elizabeth Holmes is the “prison of belief”. Look at what happens to [Theranos board member] George Shultz – the grandfather of [eventual whistlebl…

That's quite neat, shifting from being passive to engaging actively with them, I like that, thank you.

I hope so, too. I wonder if PBS is going strategic with this to build wealth. I know that they're also putting useful free content on YouTube. They have a channel called "PBS Space Time&qu…

Good to know, this is useful info, especially with respect to working with every recruiter and sticking to LinkedIn. Thanks.

This is interesting. How did you build your list of local recruiters - through trial and error? And did you use services other than LinkedIn?

Insightful, this makes me think of the importance of the ecosystem in contemporary art, especially when you write: ""supported" by collectors and/or institutions", "someo…

Interesting view. Have you heard of Onora O'Neill? She's aiming to take transparency further. O'Neill and her colleagues at the Royal Society have been pushing for 'intelligent o…

Interesting view, theoh. I wonder if you have any thoughts on what customers in contemporary times look for in art? You write that "successful art speaks to current human concerns in a way that&…

So true, I remember Damien Hirst talking about this openly. Jeff Koons and Cindy Sherman also speak to this.

Did you read today's Lunch with the FT? It's between Jo Ellison and Victoria Beckham. There's an interesting conversation in the paper on Victoria's fashion design career, and th…

That's one way. Though, I wonder about the groups of people who own houses and might want to fix plumbing more independently?

Yeah, I'm curious in the way that the author defines these terms. Did they take into account fluidity of situations as you relate to? Because I'm sure there are many groups out there just …

I think most medical professionals may agree with this: the U.S. healthcare system is built on rewarding volume and doing more things. It's an especially attractive field for clinicians who spec…
