    IF I AM RIGHT…

    Then apple will pivot to the obvious money making line of business – and that’s when the world will get interesting.

    —“Since 2009, information technology has been responsible for about 48 percent of overall S&P 500 margin expansion. Apple alone has been responsible for 18 percent. But the next two years will likely see some new stars, according to Kostin’s list of S&P companies expected to increase profit margins in both 2016 and 2017. Names such as Priceline, Netflix, TripAdvisor and Amazon are expected to increase margins by at least 100 basis points. Topping the tech list are Adobe, PayPal and Alphabet.In comparison, Kostin expects Apple’s profit margins to fall by 9 basis points in 2016 and grow by 30 basis points in 2017.”—

  • ON MBTI AND OTHER PERSONALITY MODELS – INCLUDING MY OWN (worth repeating) FWIW:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10585240MORE ON MBTI AND OTHER PERSONALITY MODELS – INCLUDING MY OWN

    (worth repeating)

    FWIW: Here is how I look at it:

    1) big five factor a) has correlation of observation but no basis in evolutionary construction, and b) is very clearly biased by freudian authoritarian feminist rather than aristocratic excellence and innovation. This method helps diagnosis but not causality. If that is its purpose then that’s fine.

    2) The Alternative Five Factor reflects my understanding of the current state of evolutionary impulses. When combined with IQ, class, and gender they probably represent the best we have so far.

    3) the problem is that as a grid, they aren’t easily translated into stereotypes that we can empathize with. It’s bad enough that we are limited when we deal in one or two dimensions of analysis, but in five we just don’t function that well. And it takes a lot of training to use it.

    4) MBTI is pretty useful because we can anthropomorpize 16 different ideal types, and that’s pretty rich, without being confusing. You can teach it to almost anyone. And in the workplace you can figure out how to talk to someone using it. While any individual test has a high error rate, taking the test repeatedly over time will tend to help you understand yourself as one or more of the personalities on the grid. On the other hand, statistically, it’s incredibly predictive of behaviors and tastes in large numbers, so it has to be fairly accurate model regardless of its accuracy.

    So the reason I like it is that it can be used by people to assist in cooperating on the work place and I don’t know any other model that’s better, and I”ve been doing this since 1982.

    5) Curt’s Model (from very early studies)

    In the method I learned, we use these four factors:

    1) Dominance-Submission, (aggressiveness)

    2) Extroversion-Introversion, (internal vs external dependence)

    3) Patience-Impulsivity (need for rewards)

    4) Risk Attraction – Blame Avoidance (want of new experience)

    I have added this one for ’empathy’ and it’s an innovation I think.

    5) Solipsistic(female) – Autistic(male)

    Based upon the work of (what’s his name.. lol)

    And this last is always present in every case, but impolitic:

    6) Intelligence.

    Intelligence is the only linear measure with higher being better. All others are equilibrating, with ‘average’ being the optimum.

    As far as I know this six factor model is the most accurate to date, and none other is superior. That said,

    As far as I know these have evolutionary bases in all creatures not just humans.

    As far as I know this is one of the secrets to human adaptability: we can express variations in these traits fairly rapidly in response to stresses, and reproduce those traits as well by selection.

    ALSO: This reflects my understanding of the chemical processes that drive us:

    —“Cloninger suggests that the three dimensions,

    1) novelty seeking,

    2) harm avoidance, and

    3) reward dependence,

    are correlated with low basal dopaminergic activity, high serotonergic activity, and low basal noradrenergic activity, respectively”—

    With the fourth being:

    4) persistence (unstated cause )

    FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE:

    The Dopaminergic Theory Of Evolution

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10585240

    This is still the working theory I operate by.

    — “The only thing that melts in our non-existent melting pot, is rule of law. Everything else is just an expression of the ongoing battle between our genes that we call gender, class, race, and religious competition.”—

  • going to posit a very different revolution, that is far more important. Lets loo

    https://t.co/lwmYuHqc84I’m going to posit a very different revolution, that is far more important. Lets look at a set of revolutionary inventions:

    Cooperative Revolution

    Tool Use Revolution

    Language Revolution (??)

    Oral History Revolution

    Metalwork revolution

    Reading, Writing and Arithmetic (first computational revolution)

    Greek Rationalism (Aristotelianism and stoicism)

    Christian Mysticism ( a regression if there ever was one )

    The Printing Press (close analogy to the computational revolution)

    Italian Accounting : complex production distribution and trade.

    Anglo-Italian Empiricism : industrialization

    German and Anglo Mathematics

    American Legal Revolution (attempt at making natural law internally consistent)

    Darwinian Revolution. (transition from moral justificationism – justification of an argument, to scientific criticism – survival of ideas from criticism)

    Scientific Revolution (exiting human scale, and the socialization of research)

    Computer Storage and Computation Revolution. (exiting human operational capacity)

    What I am working on, and what I hope is the next great revolution, is to provide a reformation to counter the Pseudoscientific Era (Boaz, Marx, Freud, Cantor, Mises) imposed by Academia, the same way that the British (English and Scottish enlightenments) provided a reformation against the era of mysticism (Justinian and Augustinian imposed Christianity).

    We know now that the Flynn effect is caused largely by the incremental conversion of human thinking from a multitude of case specific rules of utility (think recipes) to a limited number of general rules describing the behavior of similar systems (think theories). Depending upon who you ask, this education in scientific thinking appears to have created a 20 point increase (more than one standard deviation) in demonstrated human intelligence.

    Likewise, the application of scientific thought to the social sciences in order to overcome the equivalent of the second christianization of European civilization – this time with pseudoscience instead of mysticism – will very likely produce an equal if not greater affect on our economies, our polities, and our demonstrated intelligence.

    And like the conversion from mysticism to physical sciences, the conversion of pseudoscience to social science, will be just as difficult and costly and require an equally challenging and costly effort.

    We have only half-escaped our primitive mysticism. The next revolutionary science is not robotics. It’s social science: morality: natural laws of cooperation. With which any advancement in machine intelligence is governable, and without which it is a risk.

    THE WARRANTIES OF TRUTHFUL TESTIMONY

    If you cannot warranty that your testimony survives these tests then you cannot claim you speak truthfully.

    Identity (property consistency)

    Internal Consistency (logical consistency)

    External Correspondence (empirical consistency)

    Existential Possibility (operational definitions)

    Parsimony (identified limits – what we refer to as falsification)

    Full Accounting (full accounting of all costs including opportunity costs)

    Demonstrable Morality (consisting of fully-informed, productive, warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of imposition of costs by externality.)
