I'll write something about autocorrect tomorrow this has been on my mind recently. So here I'll try to make sense of it.

1. Miss-use - Improvement, and changes are often made with the intent to change behavior things are changed or improved in hopes that less will be used, the processes would be done less often, etc. For example, high fructose corn syrup was considered a good substitute for cane sugar (or beet sugar) because it was sweeter so you could use less to get the same effect; what actually happened was that the same amount was used as cane sugar or it was used in addition to cane sugar which made food less healthy overall. (Contrary to popular belief fructose is not healthier than sucrose when consumed in the same amount, it merely raises blood sugar levels more gradually, but it has it's own negative side effect. Fruit is considered healthy despite the natural sugars, and because the fibers in the fruit slow down the digestion and absorption of sugars, so fruit juice is just sugar water.) In addition, plastic is a prime example of things being misused as it is a very durable material. Yet, because of its low cost and versatility, it is often used in disposable products.

2. Lack Of Implementation - When a new or improved version of a product or system is produced, some people don't have a reason to get the newer version, and some people are simply accustomed to using the old version and don't want to change. This will make it more difficult for people using the newer version to learn as they won't have someone to help teach the, and it will make it harder and groups using varied versions may have trouble working on a shared project. Often it ends up where there exists less content, tools, and devices compatible with the newer versions and makes working on anything more complicated.

3. Failure In Implementation - Sometimes, new things are just put into place incorrectly; it's all nice and good if you make better screws, but if the don't fit into the old holes than there's not much use. The same can be said if you change to a more intuitive set of measurements, people know what they know, and it being easier to learn won't make people suddenly forget the old way they've been doing things.

   
   - (I find myself failing to make the proper differentiations)

4. Failure To Differentiate - Including new tools or features, or adding another tool often leads to sloppy work with people using one tool over other more specialized tools. Adding a new shape of wrench which is easier to rotate can help, but if the old wrench can fit even uncomfortably, many users will see it as a downgrade.

5. Overbearing Zeal - "You want to make things better? You want everything to be perfect? Push your plans forward to improve every feature, the product, the history, all that is but examples for you to look at." Often improvement is pushed forward with far too much zeal finding the perfect way is easy getting rid of the dead weight is useful, but sometimes that dead way is actually something useful five failsafe may be too much, but so are any more than one. Often when trying to make an improvement, we get rid of things that don't seem necessary until all of them are gone, and the thing doesn't work anymore.

6. Taking Things For Granted - The world changes, features that are obsolete one day are needed the next.

   
   But the thing I need most now is a good example for this. I'm losing focus so good night and see you tomorrow.

It seems I use the word often far too often. Something for me to work on.

Change my mind, explore new ideas. In this case, I'm correcting myself on an old one.
In one of my earliest posts, power and responsibility, and the subsequent post, I tried to present and form a theory that authority and responsibility were the same thing. The post wasn't written very well, and I fell prey to the No True Scotsman fallacy, I defined power and responsibility as the same thing ignoring the places where they weren't.
Since then, I've put quite a lot of thought into the subject and when wanting to write a new post on the subject today I came across a big flaw in my theory, money. Money is power and while I could fit it into my theory in some ways it just didn't fit and after finding such a glaring hole in my definitions and not being able to patch it up I decided I had to reconsider my belief in the theory. It was not easy for me to throw it away and here I am trying to salvage some of the conclusions I had that were reliant on the theory. This is by no way all-inclusive but I'll do what I can so...

A few thing I learned (or understood I knew most of these in theory but...) from being wrong:

• I am far to attached to my theories and ideas - when there is something that doesn't fit I move the goalposts change some definitions but I often lose the changes and while I can justify every exception the justifications do contradict at times.

  
  -

• Sometimes in order to realize I'm wrong, I need super conflicting information, and even then, I only really change my opinions after sleeping on it. (I thought of my theory and how money fits in last night)

  
  -
• I don't actually learn quite as much from all my mistakes as I assume, but I can learn from my mistakes if I work on them and write things out.

Things I Can Learn From My Power Is Responsibility Theory
(I no longer accept them as the same thing and the truth and value of these will help me define where and when the theory is usable. I probably won't be able to tell what of this is true until tomorrow morning as I am somewhat inhibited so this are the things that feel most true to me.)

1. Power, in a social or political sense, is granted or assumed with responsibility. For example, government officials are granted power when they get elected to office in order to do their job and a smaller example will be the person in charge of cleaning gets the keys to the broom cabinet.

   
   -

2. We see seeking power as evil because most often people who do so claim positions of responsibility for the power but neglect the responsibility.

   
   -
   The idea that power corrupts manifests in a few ways in relation to this theory.
   -

3. When someone in a position of responsibility starts defining themselves by their position and take the powers they have as both granted and the actions they take as just.

   
   -

4. People have too much power for their responsibility, or in this case position, but still use it and overuse it to achieve their goals, this explains some government overreach. People also become narrow-minded and apply their power in order to achieve their goals or the goals of their position not being aware of other results of their actions

   
   - (I wasn't clear in my thought for half of this so I'll be better)

5. People become too far removed from the results of their actions as they reach a high point of a hierarchy of power and the power they have becomes undermined by all the people who get to get it done. In better words, people in high positions believe their power is absolute but their commands and requests go through may have different ideas. f your too high up it becomes a game of broken telephone.

   
   -
   I wanted to make ten but I'm already losing coherency so I'll see If I can explain conclusions in other fields
   -

6. Being thought that power is evil or leads to that, especially when it isn't explained how, leads to the people who are most likely to take the advice, to some of the best people to avoid positions of responsibility for fear of doing bad things.

   
   -

Now I can do a whole thing about how power and responsibility lead to evil. And also the good that can come from ambition and seeking power with the right goals in mind, but it's late and I'm losing coherence. So I'm stoping here.

I've spent quite a bit of time thinking through what to write on this post, shooting down my own ideas and all that, but that is the reason I've been trying to become less inhibited (at least while writing these posts) as I've spent a lot of time thinking things over but having given myself the time to explore interesting ideas. And in my determination, I've decided that that's what this blog is about; exploring ideas and the idea making process. I want to be original; I believe that to be original, I have to have bad ideas than put in than try to make them work. People, if given the time, will come up with a solution, if given enough time, will come up with similar solutions, but to come up with an original solution, I have to make a bad solution, a mistake even, into something that works. Not come up with the best way but something that works. And who knows, we may even acquire the tools that make it worthwhile or, more importantly, find a problem we can apply it too.

So this blog is an exploration of ideas or the process of creating them, the theme is changing my mind a somewhat destructive process. I have to present my ideas, my understandings, and most importantly, the thoughts(ideas, beliefs) I'm embarrassed of; to see the mistakes, the errors, the misconceptions, and the place where external circumstances caused me to be embarrassed to share an idea. To do that, I need to disinhibit myself of the fear, the self-doubt, and the social considerations; I shall first present my ideas and only then judge them. I shall make them real by writing them out and then interact with them and tweak them. This is not an easy process, well without drugs, but I want access to my creative self without needing external stimulus.

The most important point to remind myself here is that this is an exploration of my knowledge and of myself; I need to be willing to face what I find. But until I reach that point, what you see is what you get.

If tomorrow morning this still looks brilliant to me I shall begin to make it into a course on awakening your creative self. or maybe just exploring your own ideas, an extension of brainstorming the next step maybe. The people who will seek it out probably won't be the people who need it most but they at least will make use of it.

I just thought of writing a list here because I am producing content for an audience; however, small, said audience might be. But I realized it wouldn't line up directly with the topic of exploration; more importantly, it would be dishonest as I did it because I felt embarrassed by the above post despite how important it seems to me it seemed like less than would be expected from me. So instead, I will be willing or at least begin a habit of behavior to value my own exploration and not to stick some incomplete idea to the end.

By the way, I realized that you couldn't comment on my posts from the main page. If you want to do so, you have to click on the title of the post to comment on the post itself. I will implement a general comments section or a discussion board eventually, but I don't see the point at the moment because the last time I got any feedback was more than a month ago so that it wouldn't be worth the space. (of course, I probably will get an audience faster if the structures are already in place, but I'm somewhat lazy, and I have other priorities in my life. Really I should get past the excuses so if it isn't too complicated for me to understand I'll get it by the end of the week)

With Additional Capitalization.

I've recently realized that my Blog is having a bit of an identity crisis. Has been having Identity Crises from the moment I began to write it. This began as a way to keep my father updated about my life when he was in the states but that barely lasted a week¹. After wanting this to be read more I promised to post every day but that was more to keep me honest as I didn't Trust myself to stay in action if there wasn't a constant urgency to keep producing content.

Regardless some of what I have been producing would probably work much better as video or audio content as I sometimes write musically² but I remain with this format because it is comfortable and easy. Still, I want to improve at least the content delivery system so here... (this is partially inspired by a meetup³ I attended called Your Brand Is Not Your Logo by Matt Davies. It was a great meetup and despite the fact that I attend meetups just to meet people⁴, I truly learned from and enjoyed⁵ the content of the meetup/presentation and had quite a few takeaways. Much of what I learned there shall definitely assist in my future endeavors as well as this one.)

10 Things I Can Change/improve in the presentation of my blog (quicky, I will make a better one of these later)

1. Frontpage redesign, have the posts in blocks that present more text when clicked on.
2. Frontpage redesign, just colors, and style retaining current text format.
3. Have a link to best posts and better search features
4. Have a random list/post button as I sometimes feel my posts would do well to imitate xkcd in presentation.
5. Have more subpages to push people to (and to remake Not Being A Hypocrite as more than a dump site and to have actually formatting for it)
6. Pick a site identity I can feel complete and to stop messing around with it after then
7. Play games with my site identity in attempts to build interest
8. Create a future post's voting page.
9. Time my uploads to the same time every day
10. Create a central message or greeting to begin my posts with to create a better sense of continuity.
11. Occasionally point people to the posts which happened to come the best and to continue some of my old series/projects here

¹heck the domain was meant for something else entirely at this point I just try to live into the framing.
²I have a speech cadence and tune in my head that affects the humor.
³wish I had a more appropriate word for here.
⁴With little regard for the content presented
⁵part of my blog's problem is that I have trouble balancing these.
I had moved most of what I had originally put in parenthesis into footnotes still experimenting with this.

Hello, to all three of you. Today, I will be taking advantage of the technicality where I said I would post every day. I promise a decently effortful list, on my part (you may not notice the difference), tomorrow.
Here is a quick attempt at poetry.

It's raining now, it rained today, not all day mind you, a British-gray.
Here we greatly welcome rain as water is a might gain.
Yesterday night no rain was seen, then sudden hail fell in our dreams.
But I was out in gently fog before the ice did seem to fall.
No matter that, within my sleep questions rose and eyes did weep.
Always rising often answered, constant change keeps life unmastered.
Wanting in a life of comfort feared decisions ever nearer.
I claim a peace, I claim a faction, specialness my own view masking.

How often I might still complain I cannot stop before a ten.
So not knowing complete ten I comment in a high pretense.
