Had a good laugh! That could be me.

Thank you for the Be-related posts. Maybe, one day, you could write a more detailed report of it in a format made for longer articles. I would read it.

The social side is, among others, massively covered by Niklas Luhmann, the Zettelkasten guy. [1] is pure 2nd Order Cybernetics. The entry to it is a bit tough, it uses its own lang…

> I am trying to help you Quite the opposite. You are now trying to reframe your accusations as help. 1. I surely didn’t ask for accusations nor for help with this. If I need any, …

Let me summarize your chain of arguments up to this point: “I don't think you really get either Design Thinking or Systems Thinking” 1. In the strict sense of science, Design Think…

There are so many subsets of the theory and I have no idea what would interest you and what you already know. Have you seen this paper? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220…

> So what do you mean by "Design Thinking does with its sole existence what Systems Thinking tried to avoid"? It’s its approach to Systems. Take the 5 stages. Why 5, not 10 or 3? W…

Then we actually agree on parts? Well, excuse me if I interpreted you wrong. >we have no idea if the purchaser or the seller gets more utility out of each dollar. Assumption: the s…

Around ten years ago, I was a designer for some 20 years. A strange path led me to a different place which is intermixed or adjacent to the field of organisational theory. At that …

That is exactly the point. Taking a theory (Systems Thinking), a mental model which has the primary goal of holistically identifying, describing, and understanding wholes and reduc…

Please don’t use Design Thinking. Design Thinking is a subset of Systems Thinking (this is the polite interpretation). Design Thinking does with its sole existence what Systems Thi…

You are falling for the zero-sum fallacy and mixing categories on top of it. Globally, wealth gets created, which leads to a positive-sum game, not a zero sum game. On the other ha…

Can you give an example? I am looking for a way out. I kind of self hosted for decades on a virtual server until I couldn’t keep up with it. So much stuff broke something in the st…

I cannot recommend NTLite enough. If it has to be Windows, just remove all the shit of Win11 yourself, set it to unattended installation with a local account, remove the hardware r…

I self hosted for 20 years, worked flawlessly, gave up because of security concerns. I would like to go back to it. Question: How do you manage the security on such a box? Is there…

Yes. Danny Hillis’ Thinking Machines Corporation, an AI company which created its own massive parallel processing supercomputer hardware. “We are building a machine that will be pr…

I am still irritated by the name of the company. What is the reasoning behind these schemes? The hope that bits of the properties of legendary companies will rub off onto the new v…
