An idea worth spreading

Processes are only a standardised method of ensuring quality.
They are not an excuse to stop thinking for yourself or limit yourself to following them.
If the same can be achieved with less effort, better results, less time of lower cost or more fun. Do it and try to initiate change to the processes.

  Dec 14 2011: Almost true. You know if you will succeed but you will not know beforehand what the answer to a question is.
  
  For example: If I knew I could not fail I would set out to prove or disprove the existence of any form of God.
  I know I would succeed but not if the answer is that God exists or the contrary.
  Come to think of it... if I try to both prove and disprove a fact, and can't fail at either, where does that bring us. It might make for a very interesting quantum theory like universe. Reality would be determined by our choices of whether we set out to prove or disprove a fact.
  Wouldn't that be fun.

  Dec 14 2011: How about just gaining more knowledge and deeper understanding. Isn't that worth living for?

  Dec 14 2011: But not failing in your search does not mean you'll find what you are searching for, does it?
  It just means you'll never stop searching :)

  Dec 14 2011: In fact, history shows that every serious disease cured is replaced by a new more serious and harder to cure disease. So... is curing all diseases realy the smart thing to do?

  Dec 14 2011: Do you just seek to destroy what is? Or does your ambition extent to the point of replacing it with something better?

  Dec 14 2011: If you know you can't fail, you don't TRY. You just DO.

  Dec 14 2011: Idealistically:
  If I knew I could not fail I would:
  - unite the world's governments into a global government focussed on the development and betterment of all of mankind
  - eradicate all forms of religious or idealistic extremism
  Selfishly:
  - learn to understand everything

• A comment on Conversation: In ten words or less, what is a question no one (yet) knows the answer to?

  Dec 8 2011: Here is one for an evening of circular reasoning:
  
  Why do I ask THIS question?

• A comment on Conversation: In ten words or less, what is a question no one (yet) knows the answer to?

  Dec 8 2011: A few related questions.
  
  Do dimensions exist outside the universe?
  
  What does the universe expand into?
  
  What is nothing or nothingness?

• A comment on Conversation: Are we ready to intimately embrace technology that will support our quality of life?

  Oct 5 2011: I think acceptance of such equipment will primarily start by adoptation of it by certain professions. To refer to your examples say: Firefighters, beach patrol, law enforcement etc.
  Eventually, slowly integration might expand. But just as most people don't have fire resistant clothing in their car or a life preserver, so most people will not have such a super suite either.
  As cultural acceptance and integration of such a super suite is directly linked to saturation of a product into the market I believe full integration and acceptance into everyones daily life will not occur unless our culture changes quite drastically. And if it does, I think it will be more likely to accomedate the acceptance of gene manipulation in order to enhance our inate abilities. Something like a super suite will always remain a bit like cheating in the eyes of most people.
