Problem Solving in the Society ought to start with DiscourseBuilding. This is a huge thing and encompasses many different things.
Understanding, Analysis, Framing, Synthesis, Conceptualization, Articulating is one part of it.
+
But it ought to be followed with socialising, negotiating, interfacing, collaborating, resolving, implementing, correcting and so on.
And you are not doing this with non-living beings. You are interacting with living beings at scale.
+
Therefore, even the initial parts of Analysis to Framing to Conceptualizing ought to be done with an Exploration Mindset.
Those who aspire to be a Leader in the Social Space ought to remember this. Anybody who has built large social organisation has excelled in both parts.
+
This requires the following.
1. Keeping personal Angst aside 2. Suspension of Disbelief and Conclusion in the beginning 3. Knowing other Conversations existing in the same space 4. Collaborating with Common Conversational Elements 5. Creating a Solution Space or a Solution Set
+
6. Delaying Conclusions for the longest possible 7. Creating Divergences for Conflicting Conversations to meet 8. Imagining possible end-games for Complex Conflicts 9. Finding a resting place for Conflicts 10. Keeping Common Interest ahead of Divergent Conversation
+
This is an endless list.
May we all be blessed with this ability to indulge in Exploratory Crucial Conversations in all our endeavours.
It will significantly serve our purposes. It will keep our personalities behind and causes ahead.

In a Noun-Heavy Language, where the Infinite is more captured as Nouns, it leads to the over glorification of the ‘State’ - either in the present or in the future. It results in more Dogma.

In a Verb-Heavy Language, you will always represent a Moment in the form of a Verb.
Action is more representative of transience and change. You do not accord more importance to anything that happens in a particular period.
Philosophically, the West is Noun-Heavy. This means
=> It seeks represent a State in Time
=> This has crept into every discipline - whether it is Psychology or Medicine or Physics - (Eg., Particle Physics)
+
This has implications for the daily life.
=> It seeks to concretise every Fascination of the Mind. Artha and Kama gain significant over emphasis.
=> This results in Diversity of Material in Life. Hence, the Product Mindset of the West.
Modern Industry has imbibed this.

There are other serious implications. What does this Noun-Heaviness or Noun-Fascination do to the language?
- It tends to convert the Verb/Adjectives too into Noun, in excess.
- As a result, it has a fascination for the Abstract Noun.
The Political Plane is the most stated/visible/noisy - for it determines the administration & order.
India has been at various times
- a Collection of Janapadas
- a Collection of authoritative Kings
- a Collection of Federations
- a Collection of Emperors
This is a thread of gratitude to the great Dharampal.
He opened our eyes to a different Bharateeya Civilization in the pre British era than what was taught to us at school, college and thereafter by the modern historians.

Thanks to Rashtrotthana Parishad for publishing his works again. Even more important to thank Claude Alvarez for publishing Dharampal through his Other India Book House, Goa - when nobody cared for Dharampal. @Rashtrotthana_P
I read Dharampal some 15 years back. His work was freely available on the net for download. After a couple of essays I decided buy them and ordered copies from the publisher which was delivered over post.
Ever since I have recommended and forced many to buy & read Dharampal.
