a buddy of mine turned me on to design thinking about a year ago, since then i haven’t been able to get it off my mind, and i’ve been doing self neuro linguistic programming almost every free second of brainwaves.  it’s hyper game theory with an emphasis on yen and yang.

want to get to the true heart of the matter?  want to get as close as you can?  put yourself in the other persons shoes and live there for a while, now back in yours, now back in theirs, now back in yours, now back in theirs, now back in yours and craft your truths.  it is not debate or public discourse you’re looking for, its true empathy.  just imagine if politicos used these methods, much more common knowledge decision making would take place.

everywhere around we see successful cogs in the wheel, all working on their strategies to get ahead, mostly framed around, ‘how much does this pay?,’ while these disciplines are important, what happens when you have a room full of experts talking with a room full of experts, all of whom are right with their piece of the pie?  you have stalemate.

the water has led me down a path in life, lets call it ‘ying’, and i bring to the table ‘yang.’  my office environment, mission and intangibles are YING off the deep end, a little bit of yang creates awesome results with minimal effort, maximum effort yields some really cool things.

its not about individuals, its about the sum of the whole, and that is reconcilable with more design thinking, especially the empathy part.

it’s taken a great struggle to ‘get it’ and ‘apply it’

in the tiny tiny hours
(be) tween the evening and the day
we have placed our final bets
we have come out to play

fancy drinks a lucky toasts
i like this time the most

you’re out all night
chasin’ girlies
you’re late to work
and you go home earlies

lookin’ lost in chinatown
why are we hidin’ from our friends
rushing ’round in taxi cabs
is it time to make amends

you’ll get yours and i’ll get mine
you can’t be lucky all the time

you’re out all night
chasin’ girlies
you’re late to work
and you go home earlies
