The Problem is Problem Identification
Several weeks ago I posted a video of Dr. Byram Bridle. He was giving a speech and at one point lamented that you can’t read the conclusions of a paper and believe them because the data often did not support the conclusion. Unfortunately the same can be said about journalism. You can’t read the headline and know what happened. Take this recent headline.
https://dailycaller.com/2022/03/12/supermodel-hailey-bieber-hospitalized-brain-issues-covid-related/
If you read the article you can instantly spot the problem with the headline. Hailey Bieber was hospitalized for a blood clot in her Brain. She was tested for COVID. They do not tell us the results of the test which tells me she tested negative and has not had COVID. The closest Hailey Bieber ever got to COVID was being married to someone who had COVID.
To believe the headline I need to believe that Hailey’s blood clot was a complication of a disease she never had. Mrs. Bieber may not have had COVID but I can guarantee she has had multiple injections of a treatment known to cause blood clots. I guess I would suck as a doctor because I would have suspected the jab long before I suspected a disease I confirmed she did not have. They must teach a very different form of logic in med school from the logic I learned in engineering school.
Seriously, how long are we going to avoid talking about vaccine injuries? How many people need to die? We are still using these clot shots because we refuse to look at the root cause of problems like blood clots. We accept the easy solution proposed by government. According to the government and their media lap dogs every problem in the world right now is caused by either COVID or Putin. Our stubborn refusal to discuss the actual root cause of problems is why we never solve any problems. If we jump to the conclusion that Mrs. Biebers problem was due to COVID then the obvious solution is a booster shot; the very thing that likely caused the clot.
I have worked as an Engineer for 34 years. People pay me to solve problems. They usually hire me after multiple expensive “solutions” failed. In almost every instance the previous “solutions” failed because the root causes were never identified. People went with their gut or the opinions of “experts”. That is not my approach. I spend a lot of time identifying the problem before proposing a solution. That means gathering and analyzing data; thinking before acting. Often the real solution turns out to be far cheaper and easier than anything tried previously.
Solving problems is not really that difficult. It just involves reading beyond the headline and discarding the advice of anyone who anoints themselves an expert. Why the hell is every government on earth incapable of that?
Reminds me of the quote that I think may be from Alice in Wonderland: ”Don’t just do something, stand there”.
Problem solving requires one to stop “doing” and just “stand” and think. Think first, Do second. Doing seems better because it looks and feels like a problem is being worked on. But jumping straight to the Doing part often precludes a successful solution and can actually make things worse.
“First do no harm” isn’t just good medical advice.
We’ve seen this all too often in todays world. From big bank dealings, large corporate dealings, media, and of course in government all the minions sit and nod in agreement with the talking heads in hopes that the talking heads notice them. It also gives the talking head’s egos a similar pleasure a pedophile gets from touching children. Sick bastards! They all need the same punishment, prison for life.
