Cal replied to Cal's discussion A new Infinity?"One thing I'm wondering about here, is if our existing math truth systems are enough to prove this Nassim thing out, and to prove it out fully(?)

Cal replied to Cal's discussion A new Infinity?"Thanks, Jimm. I liked what he was saying, but not having lots of physics background, I started to get into some the nay sayers on the net. The last one I read this morning:…"
Jimm Meloy replied to Cal's discussion A new Infinity?"Forgive me for being the black hat here, but I don't think Nassiem's conclusion holds much water.
Like him (and I suspect many others), I've somehow suspected - since being a kid that the smallest thing equals the biggest & I like…"
Cal replied to Cal's discussion A new Infinity?"Thanks to you as well for the thumbs up on Nasseim, Franis. Along with Kim's comments, it gives me more reason to look at this further.
I'm looking at this thing with a mind towards not only maybe being able to better understand how things…"
Cal replied to Cal's discussion A new Infinity?"Nicely said, Kim. Thanks. Gives me more interest for looking into this further."
Franis replied to Cal's discussion A new Infinity?"I am also impressed with Nasseim - have we gotten that name wrong, or is it a similar person?"
Cal posted a discussionA new Infinity?
Anyone know much about Physics and its theories on infinity?A video someone sent me the other day, about a new proposal with regards to infinity, to see what I might think. (I don't have enough background in physics to know what to quite think about it.) The part I'm talking about starts at 1:04 into the video. The part before that discusses fractals, which the new infinity proposal ties in with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2rg7CeY1ekSee More
Cal replied to Cal's discussion PMI on B Corps"Thanks, Phil. All points that I'll take under consideration.
I'm not sure how this B Corps is really going to play out - if it will stay 'pure of intent', and become a 'movement' of significance, part of what some think…"
Phil Bachmann replied to Cal's discussion PMI on B Corps"P: - Might help you see what it means to "do good" (by seeing what others think it means).

Cal posted a discussionPMI on B Corps
I was thinking about possibly structuring my up till now sideline innovation company around a new form of corporation, called 'B Corps' - the 'B' standing for 'Benefit'.They list a # of 'P's on their site: http://www.bcorporation.net/But I'm wondering right now about possible 'M's that I should consider checking out before looking to sign up (if they'd accept me).'M' possibility examples:- Some compan(ies) signed up as B Corp companies knowingly or…See More
Cal replied to Andre R.'s discussion Can you recommend www.effectivethinkingcourse.com"I did the Effective Thinking program back in 1990. It was all right, back then, and it doesn't look like its content has changed.

The Illusion Of Knowledge
"Good one. I like that.
But I'm wondering if Hawking's claimed knowledge about what is 'the greatest enemy of knowledge', is also an illusion? * 'confused' emoticon goes here *"
Cal commented on Enrique Sanguino's blog post Concepts, how to extract them?"Luis > Concept means idea or thought. "Concept" is just a fancy word for it.

Profile Information
Linda Laird> It would be great if you could add some profile information to your text box on your page (even a small amount of information) in order to help others converse more easily with you
Finally getting around to replying to this. I could pretty much describe myself in many/most ways by the profiles given for INTJ personality types:
http://typelogic.com/intj.html
http://personalitypage.com/html/INTJ.html
'INTJ' is a lot about being a PReference, a way I usually prefer to deal with the world on many matters. It's not "I am INTJ", as in "I am BORG" (I don't think - although I've read that the BORG are most closely associated with INTJ behaviour. But unlike BORG, INTJs can have their fun and 'silly' moments.)
A couple other (key) things:
- 'efficiency', 'systems', 'concepts', 'innovation' are main interests.
- I'm thinking of getting much more serious about adding 'concept specialist' to my career list, focusing not on descriptive concepts, but on 'doing' concepts. The power, potential power, usefulness of concepts (concepts being the 'DNA' of ideas) is something I consider almost amazing at times.
- I've gone through a de Bono external diploma thinking program

- Cal - if you're working 7 days a week, you're working too much. Unless you love it. Even then, I'd like to hear that you're about to get a break to enjoy life.
Well, someone had to tell you this who doesn't have a vested interest, right?

Linda Laird said… - Hi Cal,
Welcome to the debonosociety.
It would be great if you could add some profile information to your text box on your page (even a small amount of information) in order to help others converse more easily with you, also a photo would be great too.
When we update the site with podcasts we will let you know. Be sure to check in regularly for Edwards updates. I hope you enjoy the experience.
Please feel free to invite all your business associates and colleagues to join. This is an information based website for people to learn from too. It is our intention to make a part of the site more information based, for people new to de Bono and who may just want to ask questions.
Feel free to contact me as you need.
Kind regards. Linda
