THink we can get everyone to read this?
Unfortunately, not... because many of the people don't come here to read, investigate and learn... they come to "play On Up" slap stick one liner spin games... Its why thread and post like this these get low readership.
If people were truly concerned, they'd
share links to engage other in dialog, as well as promote others to come and speak and actually debate subject matter with substantive commentary.
I know people who are as much withdrawn from engaging detail, dialog and research and commentary to back up their thoughts... because we have a society that is groomed over the past decades to have "short attention spans".... and play "rote memory games in the education system" that no longer allow students, to ask the questions of a free thinking society...such as "WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, HOW and How Come"... they are taught for "test taking" to regurgitate scripted response, as is done by the former system Asian Nations used of "Rote Memorization's", which had nothing to do with Critical Thinking.
If one put two variables within a paragraph, people minds get stressed and they get agitated looking for a simple one liner bottom line, because they are not groomed nor trained to think within and through things. They are taught to react with deflection, denial and attack....
The Age of Information is providing the "every man" with information that was not available in the past, except to Academics, and many were groomed to try and condense it to one liners, with a punch line for pun.
Therefore... its the result of what we see in the many varieties of Forums... The good thing is even though they don't do critical thinking, "their want to be heard' is strong... and it would have greater strength if they actually invested in "critical thinking, research, understanding to interpert what they read and know what context to do so, in relation to the Civics of American Democracy, based in the Founding Documents of this Nation... THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THE PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION, AND THE CONSTITUTION...
Sadly we can and its difficult to fully fault the many from previous Era's because they were under educations and a system that gave them access did not require them to have or engage in critical thinking.
Most of American Industry, even in the hey day... was designed for basic 7th-8th grade comprehension to be trained for assembly line robotic functions... many were not able to transistion and adapt to technology when the computer expanded its usage in the late 1970's throughout the 1980's and 1990's. Once all the "data entry was caught up to a certain level, the training for data entry basically 'dried up' and those that did get in and learn it and learn the system, became to learn various elements of programming.
This left 10's of Million... ill prepared to deal with the evolution what brought us to this day and time.
I have worked with people for years, who simply did not make the skill transposition, and some still ride degree's from the late 1960's and 1970's that trained them to think an analog terms, and many today still don't grasp the nature and expansive potential of database driven date to help them make informed decisions. I work among some who did keep up, but some of them are buried underneath "degree riders who used the gift of gab and spin" wrapped in being "yes men"... work hard to keep the skill trained down.
I circumvented that stupidity long ago, I navigated my ideas and processes for business and organization and operation performance enhancement and developments to the head of the decision making structure of organization. Many of the people in the chain, as a great many people have found out, they don't have the capability of either mindset or conviction to move anything up the chain. They will defeat anything they can which may call on them to step up and present.
I know this for a fact!!!!
I'll challenge any of you who visit these forums to develop and idea and take it to your boss, they will spend more time trying to "defeat it", rather than learn it because to do so, they know they don't have what it takes to present it at the highest level... Unless its so undeniable that they figure they can get a plug behind doing so. Its not even about the betterment of the operation, its about their ego wanting personal recognition.
I don't function like that ... When I take a job, I'm hire to do the job, but to improve the processes and advance the operational performance and strengthen the integrity of the organization and its business by and through research and development and modernization of how we achieve our objectives.
