You can't manage what you can't measure.

All she needed was a little power. Had to re-learn CP/M, though, for Andy's data.
You can't measure what you can't define.
You can't define what you don't understand.
Peter Drucker speaks.
Abraham Maslow speaks.
Howard Gardner speaks.
William Faulkner speaks aloud.
Carl Hempel speaks aloud.The Eupsychian Party wages the future on the efficacy of the Scientific Method in improving society and upholds the basic theoretical structures of Abraham Maslow, Mary Parker Follett, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs and others. It also provides a third leg for the stool so it doesn't fall over. Arise, men of Science!Without the empirical eyeglasses of a scientist no human community can engineer its way into a better future. Without data, there is no way to take note of the developing biological forces, the stoichiometry of species improvement, etc. We are stuck in fuzzy mode, all slaves to opinions, dogmas, and conjecture, not facts. We just bump into each other in Brownian motion. Things don't change.
Aldous Huxley said, "We are all individual components of a great social gas." At this point in our evolution (keep this word in mind), we need a force to change us to a solid. There is a chemistry to evolution, and it involves bright human beings rolling up their sleves to figure it out. Man was made in God's image, they say, so that means us, guys. There is no doubt that science can involve everyone, and scientists must become militant about mining its golden nuggets, and making them public. Science has had too many secrets for too long.
We need to do experiments. We need to find out what works and what doesn't. We simply want to do what the Marx brothers did for Animal Crackers: keep stuff that gets laughs and throw out the bad (formative evaluation). This is the way to make a movie of the history of the future. What could be simpler? If the Evangelicals got Bush in the White House, then this experiment should be discarded, based on the historical outcome. These forces bias the system towards lopsided vision, and it takes a full period of the torsion pendulum to jump another train. See Bill Maher on this.
The first assignment is to construct a model for Maslow's so-called "hierarchical integration equation for the Interocitor". What was he talking about? What does "Stand on the mean, hold your arms akimbo and look up" have to do with anything? What if my eyes are pulled out looking at the Face of the Apex? My parents told me never to play God. And what was that business about cosmic rays being the dice everybody's looking for in concept formation?
If we discover ways to decrease sociopathy and increase altruism, we will develop a better society. [Who would have thought that this would be caused by irradiation with old cordless telephones tuned to 864.phi MHz. And what about that crazy idiot who bought them all up, gave them only to good people and became the first trillionaire?]
But wait. Who defines "better society?" What are their credentials? (Thanks, Ivor.) Who has it right? It all depends on the future, doesn't it? The Ladder on Moon Europa knows that. That's why we're here! Arise, men of Science! You have the keys.
