EMBRACE DISTURBANCES (VARIETY) TO BETTER MEET DISTURBANCES THAT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE WORLD ANYWAY. GET NEW STRUCTURE: ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO, YOU ALSO NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO IT AND WHEN TO DO IT.
DOMAIN EXPERIENCE BUILDS HIERARCHICAL NEURAL STRUCTURES THAT ENABLE THE EXPERT TO OPERATE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITHIN THEIR DOMAIN, RELATIVE TO A NOVICE. HOWEVER, IT IS HARDER FOR THE EXPERT TO RECOGNIZE PATTERNS THEY ARE NOT “TUNED” TO RECOGNIZE. TRICKSTERS [PERPETUAL STUDENTS] ENTER THE EXPERT’S DOMAIN WITHOUT THE SAME HIERARCHICAL AND RULE-BASED STRUCTURES OF THE EXPERT, BUT QUICKLY DEVELOP A COMMON VERNACULAR THAT ENABLES THEIR FRESH EYES TO INTERACT WITH EXPERTISE, AND TO FACILITATE THE GROWTH OF THEIR OWN EXPERTISE. E.G., STANFORD PHD STUDENT LARRY PAGE CAME TO PROF. TERRY WINOGRAD WITH TEN RESEARCH IDEAS. WINOGRAD ADVISED HIM TO LOOK AT LINK STRUCTURE ON THE WEB. NEW KNOWLEDGE WAS CREATED (IN ADDITION TO GOOGLE). --- PETER COPPIN
Consulting—the purpose of this work is expanding the scope, range, and power of imagination. The invention of new and better reality, and making that reality as impactful as possible.
In an increasingly complex world, we must correctly assess events and facts, think critically, learn to analyze and understand reality, set the right goals and make the right decisions. To act correctly, we must think correctly.
Get me once you run out of oxygen. To surface alternative methods, unlock “invisible” resources, and tweak your relative priorities. If your worldview and self-view shifts, the corners you face may dissolve.
Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick.

From Pask, G. (1961). An approach to cybernetics.
"An 'Adaptive' or 'ultrastable' controller is shown, formally in Figure 13c. Its designer need not have a comprehensive model of the environment --- hence, in the picture, we show a source of unpredictable disturbances. Nor is there a unique decision rule. Instead there is a set of possible rules --- possible state transformations. An internal source of disturbances perturbs the state of A (as designers, we should say that this source induces A to make trial actions)".
Hence, generate, and a lot. Neither limits nor directions!
Alchemist and cyberneticist. Think about what isn't in front of you and make right choices no matter how much you may dislike them
