My Five Theories

 1.  My expenditure of thinking over things theory.  If you imagine a graphic chart where a cannon ball is fired into the air....there is an arch, and at the peak....it can go no higher, and the cannon ball will start a descent.  

Thinking is this way....as long as you still rising on the problem and solution....it's worth pondering.  Once you've hit the peak of the arch of thinking.....it's just wasted time and effort from that point on. 

Bottom line?  Don't think sixteen hours over a four hour problem.  

2.  The filtering of life theory.  Filtering issues is helpful.....but if you reach a point where there's more than five filters at work....the odds are that you will reach a end-point where nothing really fits or works.

3.  Artificial Intelligence is doomed.

All this BS chatter going on about how AI will take over and be smarter than people.....will reach a point where you realize the AI 'creature' is only as smart or clever as the code-writer who created it.  

4.  People who seem energized over some activist viewpoint....are easily manipulated and brain-washed.

If you ever sit down with folks who want to get you hyped-up or enthusiastic over some trendy topic....if you use simple skepticism....you will quietly walk out, and laugh over the attempted manipulation.

5.  I'm convinced that out of every one-hundred people who attend four years of college today....approximately 10-percent of them (minimum) are no brighter or more clever....than day one that they started the college adventure.

When the first college opened (1088, Italy)....the general idea was that you would leave and be a more independent and rational thinker....with the tools to assemble conclusions.  That's not what exists today in the bulk world of selling college.
