Come across the spinning plate approach? Or is it just another of the forward-moving concepts of the 21st century that drag us nearer to AI and disaster which we remain in ignorance of. Question will we be able to see our way through the convolutions before us and throw away, to destroy, the dangerous ring made of power, wealth and cocksure, overweening ambition? Can our minds hop from one thing to another, learning through analogies, and keeping the rope in hand of humanity coupled with integrity to guide us through all future developments?

What is the spinning plates analogy for project management?
Being a project manager can get tricky, especially when working on several time-sensitive projects at once. It’s like the art of balancing multiple spinning plates: you have to focus on all of them at once in order to keep them from falling from their sticks. It can get complicated—very quickly.1/09/2016

Simply put, you spend a good portion of your time moving from project to project (plate to plate) giving each one a carefully calculated little spin to maintain its state of equilibrium until the next time you come around. Like gardening but mechanistic.4/11/2020

Plate spinning is a circus manipulation art where a person spins plates, bowls and other flat objects on poles, without them falling off. Plate spinning relies on the gyroscopic effect, in the same way a top stays upright while spinning. Spinning plates are sometimes gimmicked, to help keep the plates on the poles.
Plate spinning – Wikipedia
How can a person of integrity operate in a system like this? Everyone putting in the minimum so as to keep all interests one is involved in, spinning? And the person themselves spinning from one job position to another? Do they end up knowing which persona they are? If there is no loyalty to the one job, one position, giving one job one’s full attention, then it slips to being seen to be doing something – which seems to be the modus operandi of the present.
It is not good for the people using the SPM as they become lightweights, with little time for thought and conviction and ideals. As public service entities through PPP or as contractors the public will not be fairly served. The fact that it is based on circus skills is not funny. hey haven’t time to even notice that there is only one ‘p’ between spinning and sinning. But move faster or you will be replaced by AI. What a shitty future the backroom boys and girls have constructed only to be evidenced when the curtain goes up, And will we know, understand, make sense of the minimalist stage set we are likely to see?

This surgeon was likely under stress in his work and private life possibly with a feeling that he felt got at from all sides. We need to nurture people who are doing work that ia beneficial to people; I presume he was. Possibly he had a tendency to be irascible throughout life.
Sentence over 6 years? I think he should receive a home sentence and counselling, rehabilitation, and the landlord should be counter-charged and dealt to; sort of like vehicle insurance – knock for knock. And we should look closely at our politicians and value for money audits be done to see what criminal tendencies are lurking there. People may start taking shots at them and the judiciary seeing them as fat cats that deserve a Bastille Day.
Remember the Baader-Meinhoff group in Germany etc. This interesting to read about escalation in USA – the concept of unfairness then noting state unwillingness to fairly govern to self-management of disputes when diminished hope of justice leads to setting aside respect, control and then no justice is striking.

… What had seemed from the outside to be spontaneous protests centered on the murder of George Floyd were in fact the culmination of a long-standing ideological battle. Some four years earlier, Trump supporters had identified Portland, correctly, as an ideal place to provoke the left. The city is often mocked for its infatuation with leftist ideas and performative politics. That reputation, lampooned in the television series Portlandia, is not completely unwarranted. Right-wing extremists understood that Portland’s reaction to a trolling campaign would be swift, and would guarantee the celebrity that comes with virality. When Trump won the presidency, this dynamic intensified, and Portland became a place where radicals would go to brawl in the streets. By the middle of 2018, far-right groups such as the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer had hosted more than a dozen rallies in the Pacific Northwest, many of them in Portland. Then, in 2020, extremists on the left hijacked largely peaceful anti-police protests with their own violent tactics, and right-wing radicals saw an opening for a major fight.

They want to do business with us while there is still something to suck up, but don’t want to have person-nel much involved. Not per-sons or daughters either. What is the future for our young people????
How easy is it to build those hobbit houses in the North Island. Perhaps they would like to hold workshops and we could start getting ready now as we have lost control of our society and culture, our lives.

I’ve solved the Bus Driver shortage!
“Auckland Transport plans to cut 150 jobs and has extended its consultation until May 3.”
There’s 150 new bus drivers!
“Auckland Transport is grappling with a slump in public transport patronage, with a bus driver shortage worsening in the past week to 371!”
So, for everyone getting sacked. They should be offered a job as a bus driver!!
Sorry to interrupt Greywarbler talking to himself and a wall. I’d like my chance at the wall.
I’ve been thinking about old NZ, the Welfare State, McLaughlin’s ‘The Passionless People’, how we were.
In that ‘God’s Own’ the sin against the holy ghost — the unforgivable wrong –was to neglect the neediest. In the freemarket state of Roger Douglas it is the necessary rule.
FFS ‘steal’ this, Martyn.
