🌐 Pioneers as Ruthless Intellectual Opportunists

World Creation Society

Mar 14, 2020

All disciplines contain ideas, interpretations of facts, problems created by conflicting interpretations, and mistakes.

We find ourselves in an ever-evolving maze of interactions that lead to new combinatorial future developments—demanding complex procedures that defy analysis based on rules set up in advance.

History is full of accidents and curious combinations of events, showing the complexity and unpredictable character of our environment.

For the novices, education simplifies knowledge through adherence to rigid methodologies to form institutional and cultural reinforcement. It provides them with the training wheels to begin their journey of discovery.

For the intermediates, rigid methodologies provide them with the rigours of applying doctrines to achieve desired and predictable outcomes, and a sense of control over their environment.

For the advanced, rigid methodologies constrict their conceptual world and intuitive sense of imagination that blurs boundaries, which run counter to contemporary reason and experience.

Pioneers must be ruthless intellectual opportunists experimenting with all forms of frameworks to innovate for creation to arise.

The proliferation of experimentation is beneficial for discovery, while uniformity impairs its critical power.
