How do you determine what you WANT? You have to redesign the
   system NOT for the FUTURE but for RIGHT NOW. Ask yourself, "What
   would you do RIGHT NOW if you do whatever you wanted to?"
   because if you DON'T KNOW what you would do if you could do
   whatever you wanted to, HOW can you know what you can do under
   CONSTRAINTS? Dr. Russell Ackoff, Organizational Theorist I saw a
   talk from him* and while I've read and seen stuff about Systems
   Thinking, I never saw someone speak so plainly and clearly.*
   "What's the most important part of a car?* The engine?* The
   wheels?* No.* The most important part of a car is that it takes
   you from one place to another.* An engine can't do that.* A
   wheel can't do that." "What's the most important part of the
   body?* The heart?* The brain?* No.* The most important part of
   the body is that it has life." I saw this talk just now that he
   gave years ago: never even HEARD of the guy before, but he's
   famous in places I don't go; he talked to CEOs of businesses and
   governments and militaries and stuff.* He's WAAAAY up there in
   the Practical Genius level to me.
