  • Some Thoughts On The Case Of “Talent v Hard-Work”

    Both because of a debate that I’ve been watching unfold recently and my long standing interest in this topic, I thought I would offer what is hopefully a bit of a different take on the age-old case of “Talent v Hard-Work.” Before we get to the alternative model definition that I want to share in…

  • On Connecting Inputs With Outputs

    First and foremost, I want to say that I wrote the original piece that this will be working from a long time ago, and I’m not operating at a peak while typing this, so I may fail to do it justice in its now (hopefully) improved, revised and reworked form. The basic concept that I’d…

  • Lifestyle Design Part 3: Setting The Stage For Quality Work

    Originally, I hadn’t planned to associate this piece with lifestyle design when I first wrote about the ideas I’m about to share here, but I thought that much of what I’m gonna touch on is so fundamental to a quality life, that it may as well be put in the lifestyle design series. The basic…

  • On Preferring Gradient Scale Assessment To Hard Description

    First and foremost I apologize for the title, I’m tryin’ here I really am, but I couldn’t think of a cooler, more, “roll off the tongue” nomer for this one, so again sorry about that. In other news you may have noticed that I’m again posting to the blog which would likely not have happened,…

  • A Rough Hierarchy For Ranking Systems

    Initially, I had intended to write a piece generally on the topic of the importance of individualization, but decided that this instead would be much more valuable as it offers a more comprehensive way of appreciating the distinctions between various systems. Individualization is still a very central theme in this piece, however it is now…

  • An Introduction To Polymathism

    Something that I’ve been toying with for a long time is the idea of wearing many hats, so to speak. Even with the rise of people working from home and things such as freelancing that we see in the modern world, the idea of pursuing many careers at the same time or exploring different creative…

  • Challenging The Idea Of Avoiding “The Path Of Least Resistance”

    Written On: Monday, January 14th, 2019 Written By: Orion A. Webster Something I spend a fair amount of time thinking about, is the concept that one should avoid the, “path of least resistance”. I’d like to explicitly challenge this heuristic here on the blog because I think there is a harmful flaw in the way…

  • One Antidote To Numbness

    Written Date: Tuesday, December 18th, 2018 Written By: Orion A. Webster I’ve been thinking for some time about transitioning from an age of information to an age of wisdom. It seems that when an abundance of information was created people assumed that the natural progression would be to seek out knowledge by default, but it…

  • Another Way Of Thinking About Values

    Written by: Orion Webster I’ve been thinking for sometime now about the problems in practice with moral relativism and the problems in principle with moral objectivism, and I’d like to share another way of thinking about values and how we treat each other, that I think wraps up the pros and cons of the aforementioned…

  • Lifestyle Design Part 2: Analyzing Our Questions & Answers, & Grappling W/ Honesty

    Written By: Orion Webster It’s finally here, the part two of the lifestyle design series. Sorry it’s taken me so long to do this, this long of a hiatus was not planned, so I apologize. Jumping right in, last time we talked about asking big questions and I pointed out, that if one asks a…
