Thought processes aiming at repurposing ebmb (18/12/21 15:20:47) | Reply |
In one of my former lives I had the privilege of having access to the gossip magazine of the pharmaceutical industry, called Scrip. https://scrip.pharmaintelligence.informa.com/ Then (I don't know how it is now) the paper version was way out of reach for a private person; only rich institutions and regulatory agencies could afford it. Guest writer in Scrip Magazine was Leandro Herrero. He made, somewhere, a comment to the old tale about the blind men and the elephant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant Briefly, each person described part of the elephant. One may - says Herrero - take this as an illustration of the shortcomings of the analytical approach to problem solving. The task isn't the understanding of an elephant, but the capability of synthesizing>/i> an elephant. My take on it is that we cannot cope if we use the academic or lobbyist collaborative approach: we need the industrial and environmental and moral collaborative approach - with each of the terms in the broadest sense. Fred Brooks showed that nicely in his book. (just for a start) |

The new ebmb might be an attempt to put all my (and yours - if you like) cherries into one bag. If I just make them sweet enough, then maybe they will keep. |
