This Ship is Built - Final Reflection
This ship is built, and here is my reflection on the methodology:
The Ship:
Orion Taraban has a great metaphor for the Ship of Will:
Captains will:
Build a Ship
Learn to Sail
Set a Course
Passengers will:
Check out the Ship
Test the Captain
Check the Itinerary
The Tree:
There is also the metaphor of the Tree of Knowledge:
The executive function / ruling principle of a plant, as it grows, will be to discover:
am I fruit-bearing?
am I flower-bearing?
will I make it to the farmer’s table?
The resource allocation metaphor here is that the horticultured crop needs only a sprinkler, but the flowers need drip tape; and, what makes it to the farmer’s table is from the private garden.
The Iceberg:
Lastly, there is the metaphor of the Iceberg of the Psyche:
The “hidden depths“ iceberg is a false attribution in that ice will grow in non-symmetrical patterns that will throw off the center of gravity of the iceberg. Your executive function / ruling principle needs to time box the act of sending divers down to chip off the growths that throw off the modus operandi - so that what is below stays below, and what is above stays above.
The Ship of Will can be seen by my LinkedIn: my apprenticeships
The Tree of Knowledge can be seen here: wiki.richards.systems
The Iceberg of the Psyche can be seen in my github: posterity
This methodology requires trout-lines, nets, and lures at different depths. Repeatability should be the aim: as reflected by the open-sourcing of Cortext.io
Nassim Taleb’s Antrifragile really shaped the final steps of this methodology, in that his dumbbell approach to risk-taking makes total sense in the pursuit of meeting halfway: fame, fortune, power, and games.
Final Note: it is in keeping Chronos-time in chains that we find Kairos-time to be that much sweeter
