  1. Sunrise in Schleswig-Holstein #2

    “In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.” — Alice Walker

  2. The East Coast Rail Link (#ECRL) project reached another milestone with the successful excavation of all tunnels along Section A (from Kota Baru-Dungun) & Section B (Dungun-Mentakab).

    The 1,328m-long Kampung Gedung Siam 3 #tunnel was broken through using the drill-and-blast method.

    The tunnel are needed for the ECRL track to achieve an incline no more than #gradient of 0.74%, and to avoid major #deforestation in the area.

  4. @Empiricism Sometimes I can be too subtle, other times too cryptic.

    My "added comments" would be just hoping to extend what I find to be valuable posts. Stronger critique or disagreement would (hopefully) be more obvious!

    I think the term #CognitiveDissonance isn't going away, nor should be. I think #CognitiveHarmony fits very well with it.

    When "solutions aren't clear" then we have a false state of harmony, no? [problem > solution > (harmony?) bias > correction > harmony!]

    So now we can see that 'truth' (as applied to #ScientificConsensus) plays a role, in addition to perception. [The #historic unsolved problem of perception of #consonance deals directly with the human side, where #perception & opinion reign. This perception of "sounds right/good" does not cross #cultural boundaries without its own dissonance.]

    So we have both #binary situations (T/F) and #trinary (and beyond), where there is no #ExcludedMiddle, no right/wrong. I'd like to invoke a #systemic description that can accommodate these different levels.

    Even if this is just meant for individuals, a #gradient, #quantitative style of #measurement could be a helpful addition to what you laid out. It can help us be more #adaptable, accepting of change or differences, not feeling 'stupid' when wrong (or viewing others through that lens), participate more effectively in #democratic & scientific #processes, etc.

    This is a #generalized enough idea that it is able to cross over into many, even disparate #disciplines. I think we align with the desire to improve existing #models, including the way they are communicated to the public.
