A more mathematical approach?
This is an interesting Brain Dump. One that required quite some time to produce and, eventually, turned out to indicate a different direction than the one initi...
Thoughts on Systems and Processes
Some time ago, I heard something that I thought was absolutely brilliant and gave me some serious food for thought. The thinking was something along these lines...
Quality after System Equalization - Beauty and Complexity
I have been working on this brain dump for such a long time that I forgot what was the fundamental trigger for it. A few days ago I was investing some energy in...
Empathy and memory
This brain dump has been in the pipeline for a long, I guess I do not have enough clarity. At the time of writing, I know its form is not exactly what I desire....
Principle of least resistance
As I wrote in “ The Natural Flow of Energy ”, I strongly believe that the outcome is greater when energy flows naturally. I am aware that there seems to be ...
Decision-making and Identity
This brain dump feels somehow like a small, but necessary, digression before I follow again the “direction” I hinted at in “ The Natural Flow of Energy ...
Impact of feedback loops on cognitive overload
Before getting to the juice of this brain dump, I feel like I need to summarise, and probably revisit, a couple of thoughts I shared here and there in other pos...
The Search for Identity
I have been pondering about this brain dump for so long now that I might as well try to enable some flow by dumping what I have, whatever that is; I might go ba...
The natural flow of energy
As I approach this 10th brain dump I am slowly realising that this blog, and the brain dumps I drop in here, are becoming more like a diary; a diary of a journe...
Confusion and velocity
I think it is a common misconception that chaos can only be a negative state. In my experience, most innovative ideas are born in such a state. Frequently, chao...
Perception, awareness and consciousness
A few days ago I was having lunch with some colleagues and the conversation took a fascinating turn. One person in particular was sharing some thoughts, mostly ...
Epistemology and uncertainty in physical properties
I was on LinkedIn today and saw this post from Cassie. When I read ‘epistemology’ I got excited! There is this big hype now about AI and related tools and o...
Processing of sensory information
A few days ago I had this question popping up in my head: is it possible that awareness of external situations (i.e. stimuli) happens faster than of internal on...
The importance of flow
I was in Munich a few weeks ago to attend a running event. The event was not just a run: many obstacles, of different types, were placed along the path and part...
Threshold and strategic positioning for system change
This is a rather strange brain dump but, at the time of writing, I don’t have better clues on how to frame the idea differently. I also spent some weeks tryin...
Relevance of system decomposition overhead
I often thought about the “ divide et impera ” (Latin for “divide and rule”) strategy. Originally, I think this concept has been used to describe how an...
System dynamics and the strive for harmonious balance
A closed system left in its state will not maintain the status quo. This has been something hard for me to understand. It’s hard to accept that even when a ...
Modern philosophy perspective on the evolution of thought
Yesterday I was out having dinner with some friends. Every time I am with people whom I trust I always take the opportunity to share the good and the bad things...
