Quantity matters. We need 'more options' in everything.

 Quantity matters. We need 'more options' in everything. 


Who is to determine what is great quality in anything?


It does not mean everybody can do everything and all do something leading to 'too many cooks spoil the broth' situation.


I think we must remember that every soul has a dream, has a story to narrate and biography to share. 


In present day, especially SM which copied from and bettered the MSM to engage in media reporting, journalism, opinion spilling all over, on any subject these proud self proclaimed know-all and judge -all experts that all of us have become without any exception. Be it you or me.


This has its own pros and cons.


However, all of us into this are aware that we can never replace or compete with those who have specific domain specialisation, in depth knowledge and focussed involvement  ( not mere number hours or years spent) in any particular domain, but the insights they have due to intelligent professional participation. 


Still, there may remain scattered once in a while among the heap of multitude of opinions,  some valid suggestions, insights that may have missed the sincere involvement of the professional for various reasons. That way they are useful. 


Even those who have never seen a cricket ball or a bat comment that a senior test player should not have played that shot. 


Sometimes, certain criticisms and critics either intentionally or as a result of unintended consequence,  enhance or improve creativity, performance and professions through certain observations that the specialist may have missed. 


Freedom of speech ranges from free dumb speeches free damn good speeches.


There is polarity ( may be perceived as paradox, contradiction, opposition, negativity etc) in every aspect of life. That's why human race struggles with choices, decisions and dilemma. 

Etymologically half is from German Halb which meant a side or part how much was that part or side is always a puzzle. Incidentally, it is also the root of the word 'on behalf of' which in legal parlance this has a huge 'whole'some impact. 


There is 'whole' lot of literature on half with popular authors titled their books with the word half and excellent spiritual books too exist with the title half.


Unfortunately, as I am not using my laptop I am not able to aggregate a load of them. 


The huge match of technologies themselves starting from internet to social media platforms to the latest AI all have great impact because they aggregate from a wide range of sources, the policy of 'more the merrier'.


Even top physics is called ' Quantum' physics from 'Quantus - how much' emphasis on quantity

The following three slides which I had prepared long ago may be of relevance.
