Consciousness

Brain activity in the pink matter (wet) comes up with a mental impulse that drives the hand to draw with pencil on paper (dry), transferring an idea into physical space. From there the graphic design, as in this example, gets uploaded into the AIR of cyberspace.

Fast and Slow is Daniel Kahneman‘s idea of thinking in terms of System One and System Two.

System One defines the fast, effortless, intuitive, almost impulsive type of thinking.

System Two describes a deliberate, slow-paced kind of thinking that involves the effort of concentration.

To Stop thinking requires training your mind to silence your thoughts. That higher level of control is achieved with deliberate, focused time & effort, through the practice of meditation.

Declination

Position of the Sun in the Sky at Noon

So many people
have come & gone
Their faces fade
as the years go by
Yet I still recall
as I wander on
As clear as the sun
in the summer sky

Boston – More Than A Feeling – YouTube

In good time as the ardor of youth declines and years increase; as reflection lends her solemn pauses; then a love of ease & virtue supplants the love for maidens. –Moby Dick by Heman Melville

The inferior man’s wickedness is visited upon himself. His house is split apart. A law of nature is at work here.

Rejection

Last night G stepped into a conversation between R and M. The problem that R was expressing to M was exactly the same problem G was experiencing.

It seemed R and G might commiserate to find the right solution for both of them. Any answers found would be to their mutual benefit.

But, because, M and R were on one team and G was on a distinctly different team, G was outside of R & M’s coupling and so, easy to dismiss.

Stratagem

Use chess tactics to thrive in the face of incalculable complexities and unexpected change.

The basic principles of good play – get a big idea, use it to build an advantage, improve it, swap it out for a new one, move quickly, see what happens, make a new plan, and move again – works on a professional level just as they do in corporate warfare.

Acoustics

Thomas DolbyShe Blinded Me With Science (YouTube )

A pretty name as one would wish to read, must perch harmonious on my tuneful quill.

There’s music in the sighing of a reed; there’s music in the gushing of a rill; there’s music in all things, if men had ears: their Earth is but an echo of the spheres.

Don Juan by Lord Byron

Hesitation

Zugzwang means “a compulsion to move”. It is a term used in chess to describe a situation where the player is forced to make a move, but every available move is a disadvantage.

If it wasn’t an obligation, the player would prefer not to move at all.
