Writing LENR miniatures is habit-forming it seems, this
will be number 8. This morning my Muse has kissed me on my forefront, not
problem for her, the surface is almost 1sq.m and now I am writing about two
gentlemen called Aristoteles.
What they have in common is that I have learned very important
thing from them and now I want to share these with
you. One of them says things I forgot to tell you when I
wrote about experts.
The first Aristoteles was an ancient Greek
philosopher the first true thinker, scientists, logician, researcher,
theoretician, educator, pragmatist, worldwide and life long learner. A man who
lived a few thousand years before his age. He had the intuition of natural laws;
he understood that it is some natural order in the world. Admirably open-minded
– his post mortem tragedy was described here:
“(If you can bear
to hear) the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves
to make a trap for fools,” (Kipling, “If”)
Poor Aristoteles’
lively ideas were dreadfully dogmatized and used to punish heretics by the Church;
you know well which one especially... He could do nothing to change this, being
dead for more than 1000 years then.
This is a serious
warning to my future colleagues who will change the paradigm of LENR please
keep the New Paradigm fresh, open, plastic, future oriented, undogmatizable.
The second Aristoteles, also Greek a businessman of
genius. Actually I am not especially fond of him due to the bad things he has
made to the soprano goddess Maria Callas but Onassis was remarkable- it is
great loss that he did not became a
scientist or an inventor and has wasted his exceptional talents as magnate.
This is one of the brightest things Onassis could have
told:
“The secret of LENR is to know something that nobody else knows.” And also:
I am using “LENR”
but many of our colleagues would use
“science”- Onassis himself spoke about “business” but his sayings here are
universally true and they seem made for LENR
Very few LENRists
will agree with the first quote: we have lots of common knowledge but we will
solve our existential problems by what an X knows now and nobody else. I bet.
The second quote is
well known and applied on large scale many battles of opinions, ideas and
theories.
While waiting for
the saviors with unique knowledge may I call your attention to an aspect of the
expert I forgot to mention in http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2014/09/the-true-lenr-experts.html
I have read it in
the “You and your job” column of “Chemical Engineering” thirty and something
years ago.
“People will accept
the status of true expert only for a few categories of people who have the
following in common:
a) they know
something you don’t, they have decisively superior knowledge;
b) you go to them
only in case of extreme necessity, you depend on them,
c) they establish how
much you will pay them for their services and you surely will pay!
Real experts are the dentist you
will visit when you can no more bear the pain; the surgeon who will fix your
broken leg, the lawyer- your son has caused a car accident and the jail is
waiting for him. Just of few trivial cases of genuine experts.
There are no such experts in LENR,
any amateur who can write and has an Internet connection can tell anything on a
non-moderated forum.
There is no more respect or
decency. I just was informed that one of my most shameless blogtrolls,
Anonymous is a 13 years old school girl from Sweden , crazy like hell. She was expelled
from all schools due to her pathological passion (shared only with the tsar
Ivan the Terrible) to throw out cats on the windows of high buildings. I am
old, I was never called
liar or scammer, little psychopath
Bjorg does it on a daily basis.
I also have learned from Chemical Engineering:
”Beyond history, geography and
education and culture, everywhere and for ever there are 3 categories of
people: Nice, Difficult and Wimps. It is a pleasure to discuss with nice
people; with the difficult ones a dialogue is possible but needs some effort;
it is outright stupidity even to try to speak with the wimps.”
Not much psychology here, direct
contradiction to what you will learn in the school of management- but this is
the reality.
If you dare to not agree with this,
we can discuss but take note that I belong to the difficult people. Or, I hope
so.
