Sunni inspiration :-)

'I would add that the best credential is obvious skill, typically acquired via hands-on experience under the tutelage of an expert, rather than the largely-scammy path of taking courses and tests and getting licenses to do certain kinds of work. If you can do something well, and people are willing to pay you for your time and effort, the free market can be your oyster.'

Since the comment board is down at sunni's web villa, i will have to comment on her latest post here. i sometimes think that i like to make theories based on dynamics of things that i get from a unique perspective, but y'know somethings up when you find the same words and ideas in play with people that would have no way of knowing the theory context without coming up with it themself. It edifies my thought process and makes me wonder about gaia, connectivity and quantum mechanics. Howdtsite is my chocolate business, so to speak.

So when sunni's comment about pedigree and vocation schools appeared on my screen, it was an almost verbatim rehash of a concept i explained to a colleague at noon yesterday - that locally the community college was serving as a bad vocational technical institute and that we might as well graduate high school sophomores locally for all the good that publik skul does juniors and seniors. It sets them back. If the local community college courses were offered to high school juniors as an apprenticeship, they would be much more economically viable than the service they provide now, which is a sheepskin rubber stamp that says i can show up to class or a cheap means of getting college classes out of the way. The students that really are motivated to learn about something find ways to gain that knowledge, with or despite schools.

But what really floored me was reading Sunni describe her journey through the process of life, and onserving the parellels that we share in career path and motivation. And then i thought about my people grid of sixty-four - the magic number for group self-similarity that will cover the entire field grid in an area domain with double coverage and no overlap. we have enough people in the world, to where nobody can have unique experience that somebody somewhere else hasn't had the same experience, but it still is spooky when the parellels and conclusions reenforce the beliefs.

Life throws curveballs - i need to think some more, but the light flashed and something is there. Something to build with. We are not just neurotic, erotic beings flashing between materials possessions and secret intentions. There seems to be more energy wave uses that we currently have in our grasp, but symmetry simplifies recurrent elements and rotations give similar looking different fields to work with.

Science learning takes place in small number groups best, when the focus is directed by motivation to understand the material. Four is better than three, with one mentor sharing information with one student while two other students do an action item - a hands-on with something that requires attention. Rewards come from getting concepts from theory to practice, with attention to detail being more important with depth. Grasping universal concepts comes when the same concept appears a second time in a different form. It wasn't until i saw fingerprint designs in the sands on a beach after a storm, that i grasped the overlap of fractal geometry and group theory - even though i had taken courses in each independently.

The concept broken in society seems to be in bonding. Chemistry functions in bonding pairs and non-bonding pairs of electrons in a valence shell and other sets of electrons operating under the surface to enact the traits that manifest themselves as physical properties. Ions separate charges by enabling electron transfers to occurs such that stability in the outmost orbital is set in four pairs of two (very light elements excepted). People bonding requires trust in the common concepts of how society should run itself, but whirled affairs have made us question our reality while still holding invalid fundamental assumptions in our belief system. As we move more into non-natural forms (those that have no model in nature) of behaviors, the psychological shock to the system gets excessive and people melt down.

Anyhow - i have not been mentally all-together for a bit and i thought it was just me and my unique approach to life, the universe and everything. Having sunni and several other folks in the world who relate to how i see things, motivates me to get it together to accomplish the goals i set for myself again, in terms of how i wish to accomplish them. Of course i'm not certain we have a free market, but i sure like oysters. Fnord.
