“In this setting, I will allow things to be done to me, I wouldn't allow in any other context: the dentist is about to put an electric drill into my mouth; in this setting I willingly expose my throat a man with a razor blade (barber). What is there in human nature, that allows an individual to act without any restraints whatsoever, so that he can act inhumanely, harshly, severely and in no way limited by feelings of compassion or conscience?“ (John Milgram) -STRATEGY -TACTICS -COMMUNICATION -VOCAL TROUBLE -STRUCTURAL TROUBLE

“Years might be spent gathering the public together. … This abstraction, which the individuals so illogically form, quite rightly repulse the individual instead of coming to his help. … But to adopt the same opinion as the public is a deceptive consolation because the public is only there in abstracta. … A public is a kind of gigantic something, an abstract and deserted void which is everything an nothing.“ (Søren Aabye Kierkegaard) -ARTS, BUSINESS AND CHANGE -A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS -WRONG AND RIGHT FOCUS -HUMAN ABSTRACT (AFFIRMATIVE) -HUMAN ABSTRACT (NEGATIVE) -SOCIAL FABRIC (I – IV) -PROFESSIONAL MINDSET VERSUS OCCUPATIONAL ATTITUDE -INDIVIDUAL INTEGRITY VERSUS CORPORATE CONFORMITY (I – IV) -SURVIVING A CORPORATE CRASH -DEALING WITH CLIENTS FOSTERING GREAT EXPECTATIONS -ON VAGUE IDEAS AND WISHFUL THINKING (I – III) -TO BE OR NOT TO BE REASONABLE … (I – VI) -SHORT-, MID- OR LONG-TERM MEMORY [LOSS] (I – XIV) -„THE HUMAN NATURE OF ORGANIZATION” (I – VIII) -SOCIAL SET THEORY ON A CHEER „I’M ENJOYING A ‚CAREER‘“ (I – V) Individuals and institutions sponsoring as much as acquiring and displaying notorious expressions of artistic sophistication, reveal having reached the culmination of dullness and lack of imagination in an attempt of concealing intellectual bloodlessness as well as emotional varicose veins behind the performing arts of concrete curtains. Too many people seem not to perceive the ubiquitous and often quite horrofying phenomenology of customary randomness circumscribing – global, national, local – societal being as an inevitable result of their individual habit of relaxing rational, emotional and responsible intellect in every available sense of retiring their Seven Senses, whenever and as much as they can.

„It is not the things that worry us, but the opinions that we have of these things. Working scientifically means putting things in a beautiful order. According to Immanuel Kant, all error is that we consider our way of defining or deriving or classifying concepts to be conditions of things themselves. Arthur Schopenhauer says about teleology, i. e. the order and expediency inherent in nature, that it is only brought into nature by understanding. According to Karl Jaspers, human misfortune begins when the scientifically known is considered to be being itself and everything that is not scientifically knowable is considered non-existent. Albert Einstein said in an interview with Werner Heisenberg that it is impossible to include only observable quantities in a theory; it is rather the theory that decides what can be observed. Werner Heisenberg himself writes later that we must remember that what we observe is not nature itself, but nature which is exposed to our kind of questioning and the reality of which we can speak is never reality per se, but a known reality or in many cases a reality shaped by us.“
