When in press, should you pretend you are smarter than you actually are, or less smarter than you actually are? There's pros and cons to each, thoughts? Depends who you’re talking to like any diplomatic consideration. What do you think the opponent wants to hear that will sway him to do what you wo...

Can you play protected games without paying?

An interesting review of some the issues relevant to US Education. It emphasises a point that such arcane BS would unlikely to be allowed to influence, a law practice, or a top of the line cancer clinic, or an NFL team, or a University research department, or a technology company, or I’m sure you’re...

OK, these are new thoughts for me & might not be brilliantly expressed but I’d be interested in comment... NB I am an ex-salesman. Not any of the following; lawyer, doctor, teacher, sportsperson, police officer or creative artist (you’ll see the relevance of this later...) We all know that people wh...
