Systems

Systems do not have to be complicated or unintelligible.

A system is just an arrangement of circumstances that makes things happen in a certain way

Now the circumstances may be very different for different systems. for some it may be metal grids, for some, it may be rules and regulations or electronic components, chemical components or anything else.the more complex the system is, the more components are involved in the system.in each case what happens within the system is decided by the nature of the system.

If young children are asked to come up with a potato peeling machine, they come up with a box labeled “potatoes are peeled here”.this is very basic. since they can’t explain it in detail, they just make a box that is a metaphor for the system.

The nature of the system determines what happens

There are three ways in which knowledge of the system can be used.

1.  The first useful thing that can come with the knowledge of the system is the avoiding of those errors that arise through thinking the system to be something it is not.

No matter how good a system is at performing a certain function, most systems are rather poor when it comes to performing the opposite function. knowing the limitations of the system by itself doesn’t amount to anything unless acted upon.

2. The second useful thing is the awareness of the limitation of the system.

3. The third way would be to improve the characteristics of the system.

 

In the early stages of a breath analyzer, a drunk driver ran into a pole. as the police arrived at the scene.he took out his whiskey flask and started t drink it. he told the police that now the car was undrivable, he drank out of shock. There was no way now that his blood alcohol level could be measured before the accident.

 

Knowledge of a system is very important to improve the system.the more people know, the more improvemnets can be made.

Introspection of Thoughts and Mind

Introspection of Thoughts and Mind

Many people think that the brain will forever remain a mystery

If the Human brain were simple enough for us to understand, we would be simple enough to not understand it

It may be that the brain is not too difficult to understand, but easy instead.we make matters more complex by creating a structure of very fine detailing that hide rather than reveal.

The only thing these complex structures reveal is that man is capable enough to create them and has the compulsion to create such intricate and complex patterns/structures and play games with it.

Ideas have to be pushing our thought process in the right direction. if ideas miss the right direction, we move further and further in the wrong direction.while introspecting, movement is unlimited.the track is the way and the way is created by our mind itself.

It is like an army tank that goes on creating its own path while crossing a trench. the way is created by our moving imagination.

The brain on its own accord does not seek to understand and explain things exactly from a 100% objective and neutral point of view. The brain creates explanations which entirely depend on the person who is explaining.

The explanation may be highly acceptable without being highly relevant to what is being explained.if one describes something, then one hopes that the beauty of description will be appreciated.

Even in a description one may seek to reveal something one supposes that may not be apparent to everyone else involved. The more a person explains. the more they move from explanation to description.

In explanation the person tries to reveal how something unknown is only a special arrangement of the known.

There are two types of circumstances and the explanation describes how the system works in both special and general circumstances. the purpose of description and explanation is different. the former is tied to beauty and the later to usefulness.to say that the patch of ground is uneven is the description and to tell it is due to the trees is explanation.description is the first step to explanantion.whoever describes best is closest to the solution. Attention to detail is the mark of a GENIUS.

Words are the symbol of ideas.words usually describe things in motion. some words are used to deal with other words.they include words like AND, OR, BY, WITH. Basically, addition, division, and multiplication are ways of dealing with quantities.every single one of these words becomes a utility tool to carry out processes.

Learning medicine consisted of learning the language of medicine. In the same manner, to learn the language of the brain we have to learn new terms.

The whole of our thinking is dependent on words, the whole of our language, our education, our thought process is dependent on words we know and we don’t know.

The whole of our language is focussed on forming and communication our own thoughts and ideas

The brain works this way to make intelligent life possible. This is the way the brain works to make life possible.

The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe.

We are battling Two Pandemics – Corona and Stupidity

By now everyone must have realized that the ill effects of rumor-mongering. in these emergency times, it is very imperative that everyone thinks for themselves and avoids forwarding things that seem bizarre and untrue.sometimes genuinely people cannot tell the difference between facts and myths and for that, I suggest to not take Whatsapp forwards seriously at all.frankly there is more to gain than to lose.trust me you don’t want to delve into the world of Whatsapp rumors. avoid forwarding anything suspicious. research deeply before accepting anything. it only takes 5 minutes to separate fact from false information. if you are new to researching Whatsapp forwards id suggest simply copy-pasting the URL with the word “fake news”. and google will do the rest because since there are agencies who solely focus on labeling fake news its highly unlikely that true news will ever be labeled fake quickly without deep research on their part!

1 Avoid venturing out of homes for non-essential works

2 Wash hands as often as possible

3 Avoid sharing WhatsApp/telegram forwards without RESEARCH!

4 Don’t panic, we can and will overcome this pandemic.

  3. One of the most important elements to building an SEO strategy to a website is developing a thorough understanding of the psychology of your target audience and how they use words and concepts to obtain information about the services and products you provide

The Mission of Search Engines

  1. As a web searcher, we can use any of the many available web search engines to find out what we seek
  2. this makes it extremely important for search engines to process and display relevant and important results in an ascending manner.
  3. Not only do the results have to be precise and relevant, but they also have to be fast as well.
  4. This is why teachers gravitate towards a search engine with a better output.
  5. This makes search engines invest a tremendous amount of time, effort and capital in understanding the audience and improving their SERP (search engine results page).
  6. This includes extensive studies of search results, comparing their results with other search engine’s results and conducting eye-tracking and click-through rate studies along with PR and Marketing campaigns.
  7. The search engine generates revenue through paid advertising and since they depend on the quality of their results so much, manipulations of results are taken very seriously.

The Market share of Search Engines

Search Engine Global Market Share

1. Google 92.54%

2. Bing 2.44%

3. Yahoo! 1.64%

However, in some markets, google is not dominant. Baidu, Yandex, and Naver are some of the major search engines in these markets. anyways a focus on GOOGLE is a smart SEO strategy in most world markets.
