^ I love the phrase "Mental entropy". I have always had a rather supple mindset, that has allowed me to change on a dime in the face of new information, and I have always challenged assumptions continuously.

Great read, thank you.

This structure looks very much like the political system that David Easton proposed in the 1950s. It was a model that would explain repeating structures in society and was a predictive model that explains why some regimes fail. In this case, it can predict why people or paradigms become obsolete.

I never was uncomfortable with making decisions.
I wasn't always as good as it as I am now, but i was always comfortable making them.

If all else fails, I fall back on the E Triple M system.

You know


Eemie Meeny, Minie, Moe.

In truth I probably trust my instincts and try not to over think things.
Of course my instincts seem to have improved over six decades.

Here's another book for you guys. Don't fall into the old geezer trap of following your set routines, because that is not really decision making. It is the absence of decision.
