INTRODUCTION My initital title for this essay was Conceptualizing Meta Schemes, as distinct from Emotionalizing Meta Visions. My early exemplars are embryological development and educational futures emergence. The distinction I make between Conceptualizing and Intuiting is parallel to that made by Daniel Kahneman in his Slow/Fast distinction of fundamental human brain processes.  “Emotion” plays a…

(FIRST DRAFT COMPOSED 3/16/2013) DEFINING COMPREHENSION You can comprehend a topic/concept without having to believe in its “truth” or “possibility”.  Indeed, prior judgement as to truth or possibility is only valid from full comprehension; and details of comprehension can be used to argue falsity and impossibility. This distinction, when attempting to share with others, between…

Speculation: When one reads the usual agenda is to find information useful to the reader, that can be assimilated into their existing knowledge structure. When one studies the agenda is to discover a new pattern of reality, anticipating an accommodation by one’s knowledge structure.  The objective of study is more than to accumulate more data…

I claim, without arrogance, to be the most realistic optimistic that I know of.  Yet, most people see me as a pessimist, always harping about THE FUTURE (which almost everyone believes will be worse than today).     To most people, mention of the future, either short or long term, brings on expectations of negativity.  This…

This is extreme for a reason. The parts of the Federal governmental system are still there, banging at each other and having consequences.  But, the whole as ceased functioning, it is dead. Sub-systems, such as The Pentagon and CIA continue relatively independent of the Three Branches, remain.  But, the hacking of rules and the psychological…

Last night ( 2/25/2013) a healthy, vibrant life ceased to be.  Sam, a large, friendly, very happy cat was killed by a car. The driver, deeply disturbed by the accident, came into our car port as Eloise was coming from the laundry, to enquire whether we had an orange cat. Eloise met me at the…

SPECULATION: The core rationale for not closing Quantanomo is to block all legal processes re potential supporters of the 911 attack from being conducted in the USA; the concern being opening 911TRUTH testimony that might indicate that “others beyond Al-Qaeda” were involved.     As discussed later, the “others” are NOT FORMAL SOCIETAL SYSTEMS, such a…

I was presently surprised to stumble across this recent TED production by Iain McGilchrist on the divided brain. It demolishes earlier “scientific” claims about our right and left hemispheres and the “superiority” of the right hemisphere – touted only a few years ago by other TED presenters to great acclaim.  Although the popularized version of…
