QUESTION: Give Me Egotistical Prima Donnas, Stupid?

000000000000000000 WALKER

ANSWER: Yes, give me them all. This is forceful and dramatic world in huge need of those loaded and driven with flooded stamina.

And flooded stamina is immeasurable pent-up kinetic energy that well-channelized brings about scientific discoveries and technological breakthrough and thus outright business miracles.

HENCE:

THERE IS TOO MUCH BEAUTIFICATION OF THE UNDELIVERING EMPLOYEES AND SATANIZATION OF THE FOUNDERS AND CEOS, IN A RUTHLESS WORLD, ALSO AS PER PETER DRUCKER, IN WHICH SEIZING THE OUTCOMES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PERSONALITY TYPES.

Human Race to The Future’s Author and Professor Daniel Berleant, PhD. wrote,

“ … [he] is a high-energy person, which in science is an earned canonical milestone in order to complete technological and scientific tasks in daring environment …”

TO THIS END:

Dr. Wernher von Braun’s NASA Rocket Scientist, a Physicist and a Systems Engineer and a Doctor in Science, fully backs Berleant’s assertion, indicating that the totality of the Apollo Program would have been outright impossible had not been by the proactive and indefatigable participation of the “… prima donnas involved …”

ALSO:

Under “ … THE END OF LEADERSHIP …” (ISBN-13: 978–0062069160) by Harvard University Prof. Barbara Kellerman, PhD., it is noted the ensuing:

“ … From one of the pioneers in the field of leadership studies comes a provocative reassessment of how people lead in the digital age: in The End of Leadership, Barbara Kellerman reveals a new way of thinking about leadership—and followership—in the twenty-first century. Building off of the strengths and insights of her work as a scholar and a teacher, KELLERMAN CRITICALLY REEXAMINES OUR MOST STRONGLY-HELD ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IN DRIVING SUCCESS. REVEALING WHICH OF OUR BELIEFS HAVE BECOME DANGEROUSLY OUT-OF-DATE THANKS TO ADVANCES IN SOCIAL MEDIA CULTURE, SHE ALSO CALLS INTO QUESTION THE VALUE OF THE SO-CALLED [DUMBING DOWN] ‘LEADERSHIP INDUSTRY’ ITSELF. Asking whether leadership can truly be taught, KELLERMAN FORCES US TO THINK CRITICALLY AND EXPANSIVELY ABOUT HOW TO THRIVE AS LEADERS IN A GLOBAL INFORMATION AGE …”

0000000000000 END OF LEADERSHIP

THEREBY:

00000000000000000000000000 SKUNK

TO THE EXPRESS PURPOSE, IT MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED:

“ … Egotistical Prima Donna (SkunkWorks practitioner) is no longer a captive to history.

Whatever he, she can imagine, he, she can accomplish.

Egotistical Prima Donna (SkunkWorks practitioner) is no longer a vassal in a faceless bureaucracy, he, she is an activist, not a drone.

Egotistical Prima Donna (SkunkWorks practitioner) is no longer a foot soldier in the march of progress.

Egotistical Prima Donna (SkunkWorks practitioner) is a Revolutionary! … ”

Quoted: “Tony Williams, the founder of the British-based legal consulting firm, said that law firms will see nearly all their process work handled by artificial intelligence robots. The robotic undertaking will revolutionize the industry, “completely upending the traditional associate leverage model.” And: “The report predicts that the artificial intelligence technology will replace all the work involving processing information, along with a wide variety of overturned policies.”

QUESTION: Reality Is A Consensual, Consensual, Conditionalized, And Assimilated Hallucination?

0000000 FEISNTEIN

THIS IS NO DOGMA, BUT AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT P.O.V.

As I have mentioned elsewhere, beyond everything else, I am also an evidence-based researcher and to that end I must study tons and tons of literature.

In the United States, there is a nice thing. When someone is remarkable, his or her I.Q. is measured and made public.

Dr. Hamel is, as per my understanding, America’s I.Q. #25. He was the CEO to Strategos and currently is Professor Gary Hamel, PhD. at marvelous London Business School. Hamel pays a great deal of attention to REALITY and the quote below, excerpted in the White Swan book, is used by him frequently.

VERBATIM:

“… [He] tells a wonderful little story about how he came to recognize this deep truth: On the third day of a conference at a Buddhist center, I asked people why they put their palms together several times a day. THE BUDDHISTS BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD IS AN ILLUSION, BUT WE HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH THE ILLUSION FOR EFFICIENCY REASONS. When they put their hands together it is a semicolon, an acknowledgment that whatever they may think is going on right now is largely a fabrication of their own mind…”

Kaalagyan: Farsighted-Future Investigation And Reoriented Research By Drashtara, Andres Agostini!

0000000000000 OVER DRASHTARA

AN INDIAN CIVIL ENGINEER, VEDIC SAGE AND SANSKRIT SCHOLAR WROTE,

“…White Swan [ http://amzn.to/1tH7Fpl ]; yes White Swan! In Sanskrit‚ we have an adage-HAMSA KSHEERA NYAYAM — meaning Swan and the Milk Example! What does this mean? It is believed that Swan accepts milk portion only from out of the mixture of Milk and Water! [….] I am honored to compare this Vedic Analogy with Mr. Andres Agostini’s WHITE SWAN — I do know whether Andres kept this Vedic term. While titling his Great foreseeing of the Future! [….] Needless to say that Andres is a foreseer; DRASHTARA! He illumines the present science and technology and heightens the future Metascale heights, yet he says that he does know what could be in 2045! [….] In Sanskrit the Vedantic Sages call Andres «… a DRASHTARA …» and as such he is set out to re-channelize the R&D&I effort’s direction and pathway by applied scientists in dire straits, thus re-illuminating them in the unaccounted-for dynamic driving forces in order for scientists to return to the right path [….] THE UNIVERSE IS A LEGENDARY VERSE AND I MUST ADMIT WITH MY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE PAST TO FUTURE, THE EVOLUTION IS THE GREATEST REVOLUTION IN ALL ASPECTS; KNOWN BECOMES NON EXISTENT AND UNKNOWN BECOMES THE MOST ADORED AND PREFERRED TOOL OF THE PRESENT TOOL FOR AFFLUENCE IN SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL FAST TRACKS! I admire Andres at every meticulous step in his narration citing and acknowledging his indebtedness to his peers! My knowledge of Science and Technology is limited to appreciation of the facts of the future! I am no match to Andres Agostini’s knowledge, but have the firm belief that Andres Agostini’s forethoughts of the future are the as true as Sun and Moon! [….] It is a prevailed I casually came across this page and must say I am a gainer in knowledge! [.…] THERE IS IGNORANCE IN KNOWLEDGE AND SO TOO KNOWLEDGE IN IGNORANCE BECAUSE THE MORE ONE LEARNS; MUCH MORE HE/SHE FEELS MORE HE/SHE MUST LEARN! [….] PEOPLE LIKE MR. ANDRES AGOSTINI ARE ALWAYS SOUGHT AFTER TO EDUCATE THE THIRSTY FOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUTURISTIC DEVELOPMENTS! [….] WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE ARE DUAL ENTITIES OF THE MIND! Needless to say drawing from the expressive impressions of previous births to forecast the futuristics of the incoming generations called in Sanskrit as KAALAGYAN! (in Sanskrit, ‘… knowledge and awareness with farsightedness of eternal future times…’) [….] Whatever we call genes/genetic in modern scientific terminology! As usual Mr. Andres Agostini, with his habitual farsightedness has inherent KAALAGYAN to disclose whatever the future holds for the future! I wish Mr Andres Agostini all the great results for the future he is investigating! [….] SOMETIMES I HAVE THE PREMONITION, HAVING READ SEVERAL OF MR ANDRES AGOSTINI’S PUBLICATIONS, THAT HE BELONGS TO PRE-VEDIC PERIOD IN FORESEEING THE FUTURISTIC HAPPENINGS! HE IS TOTALLY DEDICATED IN HIS STUDIES: WIDTH AND DEPTH! HIS ZEAL SURMOUNTS MOUNT EVEREST! …”

— Mr. Grama Keshava Ananthram

TO THIS END AND AS A CONSEQUENCE, A NOTED JOURNALIST FROM INDIA COMMENTED,

“ … I absolutely agree with your opinion that MR ANDRES AGOSTINI is a great visionary of our time. His findings forewarns us about the future. IGNORING THEM IN FORMULATING POLICIES FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET IS LIKE WALKING THE CLIFF EDGE BLINDFOLD. Yes, the unique intuitive power that MR AGOSTINI is endowed with, must have been the result of good Karma of past several births …”

— Sukanta Rout

ANDRES AGOSTINI’S CLOSING REMARKS ON HIS INTELLECTUAL MANIFESTO:

“ … Andres is no longer a captive to history.
Whatever he can imagine, he can accomplish.

He is no longer a vassal in a faceless
bureaucracy, He is an activist, not a drone.

He is no longer a foot soldier
in the march of progress.

He is a Technological Revolutionary! … ”

ABSOLUTE END.

Quoted: “If you understand the core innovations around the blockchain idea, you’ll realize that the technology concept behind it is similar to that of a database, except that the way you interact with that database is very different.

The blockchain concept represents a paradigm shift in how software engineers will write software applications in the future, and it is one of the key concepts behind the Bitcoin revolution that need to be well understood. In this post, I’d like to explain 5 of these concepts, and how they interrelate to one another in the context of this new computing paradigm that is unravelling in front of us. They are: the blockchain, decentralized consensus, trusted computing, smart contracts and proof of work / stake. This computing paradigm is important, because it is a catalyst for the creation of decentralized applications, a next-step evolution from distributed computing architectural constructs.

Actuarial Sciences Suffice?

000 actuarial erin

QUESTION: Actuarial Sciences Suffice?

ANSWER: Absolutely used by actuaries and some futurists, actuarial sciences are structurally linear and incomplete in a world mired by explosive nonlinearity, fluidly and incessantly.

EXCERPTED FROM THE WHITE SWAN BOOK:

WARNING: Dots are connected.

“…You can never plan [retrospectively, that is a posteriori or ex post facto] the future by the past…” Brackets are of the author.

To set the stage properly, I will start with an enlightening quote by Albert Einstein.

“…The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created then…”

Or, it could be better noted:

“…The significant problems we face [today] cannot be solved [in the future] at the same level of [démodé] thinking we were at when we created then [in the fossilized past]…” Brackets are of the author.

Besides:

As the past and the present are NEVER a script for the future, retrospective analyzes and historic data (a posteriori data provided by actuaries and statisticians) are always being disrupted by the final trends and outcomes.

WHY RETROSPECTIVE [A POSTERIORI] ANALYZES DON’T WORK:

“…After-the-fact [retrospective and hence a posteriori] no longer works [….] Bring it back if you have any trouble with it, and I’ll fix it somehow,’ was the standard comment when you used to pick up a bicycle, automobile, food mixer, or lawn mower from the repair shop. And the repairman meant what he said. He was confident that if he had overlooked anything or made a mistake of any kind, he would get a second shot at fixing [….] The ‘second shot’ is a luxury that no longer exists in many businesses. You get only one chance — after that, you’ll be talking only with attorneys, insurance agents, or bankers …”

And:

“ … Life used to be simple. You knew your customers on a first-name basis. Your product or service was a relatively simple one — understood by both you and your customer. Your name and reputation were sufficient to cover any error or oversight [….] But the world has become complex, too complex to allow such comfortable relationships. Consumer expectations are matching the complexities. Instantaneous news coverage of accidents and losses virtually precludes the private, out-of-sight settlement of risk effects that had previously allowed the after-the-fact resolution of risk to succeed …”

And:

“ … The breadth in that old idea is rapidly being squeezed out — like the inevitable tightening of a boa constrictor around its victim [….] The price for public exposure of loss is high. Managers have begun to realize that risk must be examined formally and resolved beforehand rather than being settled after-the-fact. And they learn from others. It was the 1982 sinking of the offshore drilling rig Ocean Ranger that spurred EXXON top management to order a systematic evaluation of their offshore drilling risks … Even though EXXON does not own such rigs, it recognized that even conducting operations aboard them created risks that demanded before-the-fact identification, evaluation, and control … ” [226] Brackets are of the author.

Hence:

Please remember: “… THE FUTURE IS NOT AN ECHO OF THE PAST…”

So, instead of retrospective data [a posteriori], it is much more important prospective data [a priori, ex ante].

BESIDES:

DEFINING THE TERM “…RETROSPECTIVE…”

“ … Retrospective comprises something that is looking back on, contemplating, or directed to the past [….] looking or directed backward [….] Applying to or influencing the past; retroactive [….] looking or directed backwards, esp in time; characterized by retrospection …. applying to the past; retroactive [….] directed to the past; contemplative of past situations, events, etc. [….] looking or directed backward [….] review, revision, another look, reassessment, fresh look, second look, reconsideration, re-evaluation, re-examination [….] Considering a past event or development [….] Something that is chronologically presented pertaining to business tasks, with the utter object to show the trajectory of those business tasks …”

AND ALSO:

DEFINING THE TERM “…PROSPECTIVE…”

“ … Prospective comprises something that is likely or expected to happen [….] that looks forward to the future [….] that it is anticipated or likely to happen [….] of or in the future [….] potential, likely, or expected [….] yet to be or coming [….] of or concerned with or related to the future Set of analyzes and studies developed, with the utter end of exploring or foretelling the future, regarding a determined subject matter …”.

AS WELL:

DEFINING THE TERM “… A PRIORI …”

“ … A Priori comprises that proceeds from a known or assumed cause to a necessarily related effect; deductive [….] Derived by or designating the process of reasoning without reference to particular facts or experience [….] Knowable without appeal to particular experience [….] Made before or without examination; not supported by factual study [….] relating to or involving deductive reasoning from a general principle to the expected facts or effects [….] to be true independently of or in advance of experience of the subject matter; requiring no evidence for its validation or support [….] existing in the mind independent of experience [….] conceived beforehand …”

A SYNONYM OF A PRIORI IS GIVEN BY THE TERM EX ANTE.

ALSO:

DEFINING THE TERM “… A POSTERIORI …”

“ … A Posteriori indicates the demonstration that entails the ascendance of the effect to the cause, or the properties of the essence of something [….] After examining the matter that is dealt with [….] Derived by or designating the process of reasoning from facts or particulars to general principles or from effects to causes; inductive; empirical [….] Knowable from experience [….] relating to or involving inductive reasoning from particular facts or effects to a general principle [….] derived from or requiring evidence for its validation or support; empirical; open to revision [….] from particular instances to a general principle or law; based on observation or experiment [….] not existing in the mind prior to or apart from experience [….] the process of reasoning from effect to cause, based upon observation …”

A SYNONYM TO A POSTERIORI IS ENTAILED IN THE TERM EX POST FACTO.

ABSOLUTE END.
