The more I read, the more I'm amazed about Charlie Munger. Today, I'd like to write about the mental model of "Thought Experiment". Charlie Munger is the right-hand man of Warren Buffet and he's known for his practical and straightforward approach to investing. 
2/15: Thought experiments involve imagining a situation and then examining the possible consequences of that situation. Munger believes that doing this can help us make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
3/15: For example, let's say you're considering investing in a new technology startup. A thought experiment would involve imagining the best-case and worst-case scenarios for that investment.

It is very important in this period of humanity to take a serious look at what is happening in the world friends.

#Menticide is here & with it, a new attempt to establish a "#TechnoTotalitarian" rule over the lives of American citizens.
The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.
The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.
That may sound absurd, but what is very concerning is that many talking heads in the media & even public figures are now making very carefully worded emotional appeals to logic to further induce a totalitarian #masspsychosis.

IMAGINE for a moment that you woke up tomorrow to the news that the entire retail #alcohol supply in the #US was randomly contaminated with deadly levels of #fentanyl. A one ounce shot could put you into respiratory arrest in 120 seconds, quickly followed by cardiac arrest.

The proper administration of #NARCAN within minutes or #RescueBreathing is your only hope for survival; #911 and #EMS can’t get there that fast.
Now IMAGINE for a moment what the governmental and civil society response would be to this news...

1/ Here is a proposal of how to distinguish between different, supposedly "equivalent," #orthogonal mixtures of photons. In this case, it is R + L mix of circular, to be distinguished from mixtures of linear #polarization.

I am leaving aside right here whether it could lead to #FTL communication (#SuperluminalSignalling), and focusing on the bare being able to make the distinction. Impractical - but of major theoretical importance.

We use a compound detector D for this purpose. Its first element is a quarter-wave plate with horizontal fast axis, that is rotationally free within a small angle (to allow measurement of changes in #angularmomentum of roughly a few hundred ħ, which is still very tiny.)

Case 1: commuters complain of long waits for trains
- Use technology to increase speed of trains
- Use economics to increase the number of trains
- Use psychology to display the wait time for the next train

Case 2: shoppers complain of high prices
- Use technology to improve products
- Use economics to reduce input costs

Ok last thread before I do actual paid labor today. I can’t engage in debate with someone who elsewhere said they do put not stock in #HealthAtEverySize research bc it could be paid for like alcohol & tobacco industry research, as if #bodyposi is an industry not a movement.
Further, the #dietindustry IS actually an industry that funds research & profits off #fatphobia. But that’s not what I’m here to discuss. Let’s engage with the idea that size is 99% in one’s control.
So this #thoughtexperiment ignores research showing the links between size & genetics, purely engaging with the idea that size is within our individual control & therefore cannot be about marginalization, oppression, privilege & social systems. Let’s begin:
I started developing software 35+ years ago and sw people mostly ran sw companies. That changed. Today traditional businesses must transform to software companies, or die, but business experts aren't largely *teaming* with software experts. #Paradox and #seachange is needed.
What if software experts once again ran software companies, which means most companies? Clearly some business people understand the power of software. How do we engender more of them? #thoughtexperiment
Sounds like the kind of help we need in @kalele_io and with @vlingo_io Building trust comes though simplicity, not over-complicated solutions. Need quick iterations rendering marked knowledge acquisition and solution refinements. Everything else is junk.
