The Paradox of Slave Labor
If we accept that Super-crunching is examining huge sets of data to discover rational, perhaps “hidden” determinations, does that mean that we are forever bound to succumb to “paralysis by analysis?”
The paradox of course implies that we understand the yin and yang of life and expect to find a reasonable solution. Does a counterpart to the work ethic exist?
Blink is one such book that suggests an alternative called “thin-slicing”; an “instinctual” approach to problem solving. The end is already hidden in the smallest of details. The apple is already in the seed, and the seed is already in the apple.
Seeing the parts as meaningful fractals of the whole, however, does not always allow us to make a conclusive leap in our thinking.
What appears to be simple can ultimately be quite deceptive, as the Mandelbrot Set has taught us. An investigation of Chaos theory leads us deeper into wanderings reminding us that these “simple processes can result in infinite complexity”.
It is likely and prudent that resourceful individuals will decide to use both “intuition” and due diligence before deciding to invest their hard-earned capitol.
It would also seem logical that no one will ever be in a position to consistently gain from the insights of intuition without first becoming intimate with whatever is their intended field of study.
Evidently there are no shortcuts or no free lunch, with whatever theory you subscribe to.
