View Full Version : Invisible entities
Today I visited this blog that caught my attention. My first opinion was that this guy is writing a lot and saying very little. However I think it's not a good reason to classify this stuff as useless just because I don't understand what it is about. So I'd like to get a better understanding of what the hell this guy is talking about and I think this is a good place to start a discussion about it ;)

Clumsy structuralism, at a glance?
Maybe it's just today, but I have such a low tolerance for this guy's writing style.
Reads like computer generated gobbledygook to me. Parsed it and it says nothing.

i would say he is an NT type... probably a P also
the writing style could use some work, but made sense in a big way. he's a very basic writing, and the idea is presented albeit not very well, which would also explain the incoherentness of it
oh, and his overuse of analogies are astonishingly horrid

First of all, you chose the wrong category.
Science and Health ,Computers and Technology or The Lounge would be more appropriate.
Secondly, this guy is simply amazing.
He talks by using systems, and all these invisible entities he's talking about are all the interactions that can not be observed unless special action is taken.
He is actually writing too little, and saying too much. Because of the system theory, he generalized very much, but what he told applies to systems in general. So he actually took systems and wrote about how they interacted. Pretty nice work. This whole monologue was actually one of the most picture-evoking articles that I have ever read, and I hadn't read such a picture-evoking article for a long time.
This man is talking with images, because images are the only way to express systems. It happened to me two or three times that I lost the image in my head and then I had to start reading over the whole paragraph.
His speech is quite well organized and there are sentences where the strict and explicit reasoning is amazing.
Most system global variables are just base and focus on economy parameters; therefore, system performances have high vulnerability to collapse.
I think that to non-picture thinkers and generally to people who haven't studied system theory, what he writes will be difficult to understand. I lost his train of thought some times but while reading the article I did not said one time "what the hell is he talking about".
volk, read the whole article again but try to think with pictures this time, and if you find some place difficult to understand quote it here and we might be able to make things clearer.
Actually, this dude combined what he knows about system theory with topics like politics or economy in some paragraphs, and in others he just wrote about things around and about systems in general.

I think this guy is off his meds.
It was so much around about, to say that life gets in the way of truly being.
Thats at least what I choose to get out of it.
Otherwise I lost all that time reading that nonsense.
I would tell anyone with the sense to listen,"Dont go there!":)
