Heuristic (Ecogeographic rules 🌍)

A heuristic or heuristic technique is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not necessarily optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution. Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be use...

In this follow-up to the Merits of Meritocracy, I delved a little deeper into Trump and Plato's Republic.

I've been wittering on about the history and failings of Meritocracy, but I hadn't drafted a version for Substack.

I've purposely left Trump, but clearly he's a central figure in this perspective. Very few situations merit meritocracy as a lens, but we seem to overextend it. It is certainly overrepresented in business.

Today, I explore patriarchy as a grammatical Sorites problem. What else is now? 🧐

As I think through the larger elements, I wanted to share a singular insight.

Objective reality is a heuristic resulting from constraints of subject-object grammar. Nagel asked What's it like to be a bat? But more fundamentally, what's it like to be human?

In defence of Sabine Hossenfelder, I posit that particles are not real or fundamental in any meaningful way. They are heuristic placeholders at best.

📕👉 https://www.amazon.com/Architecture-Encounter-Mediated-Philosophics-Monographs/dp/1972025031/

There is an underlying 'reality', but it is not material in any conventional manner. My thesis operates on scale-dependent mediation. Seeking peer reviews.

Because we all know guessing is for amateurs, and real professionals demand their code be as static and lifeless as a rock. 🪨 Let's all take a moment to thank the Simons Foundation for making such groundbreaking boredom possible. 🙏

It should be no surprise to most that dating is not an economic endeavour (with some obvious exceptions). In this blog post and associated podcast, I articulate why.
