SLIPPERY FINGERS & HANDS

A week ago (first of April 2018) I suddenly lost all my fingerprints – I now have really, really smooth finger tips. A week later I discovered I had also lost my valuable palm prints. I don’t yet know why: possibly a new med (gabapentin), for neuropathy. Searched online: almost everything is about identity issues….

nuet erupts 032618

NUET has been bottled up within Larry for too long. I’m composing directly in my Nuet’s Nodes blog, instead of first drafting in ECCO or NoteMap. Enough of this small-talk. WTF is happening in GAIA?  Can “we” do something about the trends and nudge us in another direction? Maybe more than a nudge;  maybe a…

LEVELS/LAYERS OF/IN DISCOURSE/DIALOG

NOTE: Levels, a one dimensional system of organization is crude, human created, and shouldn’t be projected on external reality. Yet, it can be a valuable tool for human discourse, given the limitations of human cognitive competency. An other significant set of dimensions relate to the cognitive diversity of participant persons. This includes setting, age, education,…

Larry/nuet = Structure without Content

draft, work in progress CHALLENGE At 83, Larry Victor has yet to adequately share enough of his wrld (nuet) with others, sufficient for just a few persons (initially) to devote some of their time (beyond dialog with Larry) attempting to better comprehend “nuet” sufficiently – so they can assess the value of what can be…

CONVERSATION IN A MOTHER’S WOMB Karen Renegar Gentz is with Randy Gentz and Billie Renegar In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The…

Guns/Owners/Shooters = Cars/Owners/Drivers

“American Obsession” with guns (and punishment) is deeply “cultural” and can’t be quickly “fixed”. I offer the following as but part of a longterm and comprehensive strategy. However, it may be a template for some states to initiate and experimentally tune. Weapons/Owners/Users = Vehicles/Owners/Drivers Briefly: Guns=Cars , re Registration & Regulation Well tuned sets of…

Trump as Ideal Manchurian Candidate

I boggles my mind that “everyone” (that I am aware of) accepts that Donald Trump as POTUS is a “free” agent. In another blog post I speculated that Trump had high level “handlers”, involving organized crime and a cabal of bankers – going back decades. It is unimaginable that he would be a free agent…

Advanced Cybernetic Team-Dialog Scaffolding [TDS]

This essay introduces a very practical tool/technology, tested and available for 3+ decades. There are many reasons for its under-use and slow improvement. One, being its obscure name “team syntegrity” and it’s esoteric discipline “cybernetics”. This is presented here, not as a finished product, but as an early prototype upon which we can build a…

Complicated vs Complex: UPLIFT?

I often started my Intro Psych course with this written on the chalkboard: EMBRACE COMPLEXITY: THE TEXTURE OF REALITY LEARN-TO-LEARN RULES FOR NAVIGATING COMPLEXITY. Complexity Science, and its variants, are esoteric mathematical adventures. Some may find applications. Others are math art-forms. “Complexity”, as an open-ended, abstract discipline, can play with conceptual schemes well beyond what…
