Or to heat a school

They'd probably make something almost but not entirely unlike dubstep

Here's one for the Science terrace:

Simple rules lead to complex behaviours : Simplistic reasoning leads to complicated failures

But then I found out I was just suffering from sexdaily [1]

It isn't exactly current affairs as such any more ... not what you might call breaking news ... but it's been on my mind recently and someone, coincidentally, pointed me to this article today

Taking for granted that it will be an elite that becomes the benificiary of…

They're in the business of having a job to go to tomorrow [1]

[1] Any task that they perform in the execution of their business is actually secondary to their real goal of putting food on their table

The reason any society desirous of being civilised should not practice'capital punishment', as it is not so euphemistically termed, is that it allows the unscrupulous to commit, or sanction, murder in the name of the common, or even greater, 'good'

If for no better reason, it should be deemed unacceptable simply for by virtue of its being the most self-servingly rational option for the individual - If no-one can be executed in the name of [whomever/whatever] then neither can the…

The scientific value of parallel, same-subject, psycho-biological/chemical/genetic testing can not be overstated [1]

[1] Think of all the data that doesn't really mean anything, because it is skewed by the interference introduced by ethical concerns - With parallel dimensions, you can do anything you like to anyone, because you didn't do it here

One way of gaining insight into a problem is to explore it from another angle. Today, internet trolls are often a problem but what are the best ways to create a good troll. Have some fun and imagine ways to ensure that the trolls are here to stay.…

My dear friends,

This writing of mine:

http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/2011/07/dirtiest-f-word.html

is the most unsuccessful ever. It was completely ignored, nobody has thrown with bricks or insults in me..I cannot understand why.

Thank you for any explanation.
Peter

Who is it?. What do you know about him?. Meet some anecdote of him?. Know him in person?. Feel free to talk about it.

A kind of biography about all the information we know about him. His journey, their problems, their day to day, its present, its new projects, his childhood ... Everything!. From the point of view of his followers.

(If you want to comment to thank Edward de Bono work, you can do in…

There are people who propose to solve the problems caused by wealth created by simply manufacturing paper ... by replacing it with wealth created by simply digging metal out of the ground

Surely I can't be alone in thinking the argument ridiculous that there is, somehow, any reason why one group of people should be considered more meritorious because they found something lying around rather than drawing pretty pictures on bits of paper

The problem with people with strongly held beliefs and moral values [1] is that their thinking is partisan, dogmatic ... imbalanced and, therefore, unsound [2]

Such people are dangerous [1] and their pronouncements should be regarded with extreme scepticism [2]

Never allow them the power to effect the implementation of their beliefs in any material manner ... for, in implementing them, they will not balk at *imposing* them 'for the Greater Good', no matter how many suffer as a…

Quite apart from the long list of reasons why I feel it must, surely, be better to be homosexual than heterosexual [1], there are ... by virtue of being heterosexual ... certain acts that I will ... much to my chagrin ... never be able to engage in

Or at least there were

But, now ... thanks to the wonders of Science and Technology ... I am constrained by the physiological limitations of my sexuality no more

From now on, I…

Goal of Achievement or GOA:

Developing a simple process that anyone can use who is familiar with 6 Hat Thinking to do group mind mapping.

Simple mapping to start with and build a gradient to increase complexity with simplicity in mind.

Ah, sweet paradox isn't it?

I am in communication with some motivated people (2 women) who are not yet familiar with mind mapping nor the 6 Hats.

How would I start to work with them in this kind of digital canvas?

Working with…

Finishing reading the first De Bone book, Six Hat Thinking,

The realization was easy and simple: I am a natural Green Hat thinker. Now I wonder if other DBS members declared their personality in terms of the 6 Hats. If so, what are the benefits of meeting up as such? IE: Would other natural GH Thinkers have a good meeting of the mind or would it turn into a way too diversified meeting where not much would be done?

How about compatibility? The previous hats showed pairs: WH-RH,…

Several months ago I suggested to moderators on the de Bono Society that if Dennis Perrin was getting too annoying they should stop wasting their time responding to him. Unfortunately that was in the context of a discussion about tension between Dennis and others, and I may have contributed to Dennis feeling or being excluded.

Looking back I feel bad that I did not state at the time that Dennis is the best advocate for de Bono thinking that we have on this site and that we should…

Recently I was asked here at DBS about book reviews, and I stated that I do not pay much attention to them. This is true, but once I declared it publicly, my words seemed to resonate with the tone of half-truth. After all, there are numerous types of books and since my book selection is very heavy on textbooks and how-to books, I rarely choose a book for its entertainment value. Hence book reviews are almost irrelevant to me, especially after a fairly recent episode when I was reviewing…

Nothing really new as such, but I was persuaded to up a couple of old (2007/2008) mixes in an entirely non-commercial style - So I just thought I'd mention it ... Again ; )
