New Horizon

This ship is built, and here is my reflection on the methodology:

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

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.

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.

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
