Tongue in Cheek

2. Tongue in Cheek A style of imparting information,which whilst containing profound truths, is presented in a semi-humorous manner lacking in gravitas

3. Post Code, Fairness, Benchmarking, Egalitarian, Uniformity of Opportunity It may seem like a new development but is, in truth, a reversion to type. For the Left’s roots, from the time of the French Revolution, lie in a desire to uproot the local, the particular, the inherited and the tested, in order to replace them with the uniform, the mechanical, the featureless and homogenous We are all like this Michael Gove quoting Yoram Hazony,Times November 7th 2000

4. Innovation in the 21st Century will take place not so much in Science and Technology, but in the Organisation of Society, and the reestablishment of Social Sustainability, using “Contemporary” Technology

12. RISK

14. DIY Risk is often ANTISOCIAL or CRIMINAL

15. A Risk in Time Saves Crime by Heinz “sticking his neck out” Wolff Brunel University

17. There is a real Danger that Society is strangling itself by Its safety regulations, aided and abetted by Contingency fee LITIGATION

23. Cold War Arms Race

25. By 1901 the world cable network girded the world

26. The Death ofCompetence World just too complicated? Training inappropriate? Management and Business Training particularly inappropriate?

27. GENEROSITY is a RISK, which current management training has all but eliminated. All too often the RIP-OFF has taken its place. TRUSTis the most valuable property of any business, and Generosity is the way to generate it!

28. Competition Regulation Materialism Assessment Litigation Sexual license Exposure of Error Religion Good Manners Respect for authority Consideration Responsibility For Children

29. A Possible Theorem If party A is to manage, or govern, part B than it is ESSENTIAL that party A has access to relevant information sufficiently in advance of party B, to be able to think, make policy and react in a measured manner. The speed of modern communication often confounds this theorem and generates mistakenKnee-jerk responses,often incorporating the word “Change”

30. All Brain and no Hands makes Jack INCOMPETENT?

31. De-dexterisation

34. Not only ARTICULATE  but also MANIPULATE ?

35. Hunch and personal experience Children who are encouraged to develop manual dexterity grow up to be different and more assured. Children who are encouraged to use their hands learn more easily. ????? Adults who are given, or take the opportunity to engage in activities which require manual dexterity, (for all I know golf may qualify), perform more successfully, are more creative, and exercise judgement more reliably.

36. Doodling

37. The Hypothesis The fact that in 2009 we all live in an increasingly competitive, materialistic and regulated environment has substantially reduced the MARGIN of personal time, personal decision making, and disposable finance. At the same time previously rigid Borders (the other type of Margin), governing personal behaviour, have become much broader, increasing the probability of internal and inter-personal conflict. STRESS could be one of the side-effects?

38. Centralisation In the sense in which we think of it now, has only been made possible, by the enormous development in the speed of communication and transport and the urbanisation of society

39. Pure Speculation I am beginning to think that there might be numerical laws, which militate against large projects or centralised organisations. This is a phenomenon, perhaps similar to A mass of Uranium 235 becoming critical once it exceeds a certain mass for a given geometrical configuration. As a Centralised single spherethis mass is much smaller, than configured as a number of smaller spheres, or even a sheet.
