  • My Take On Plan B’s

    Something that comes up a tremendous amount, is the topic of what we actually do if “it doesn’t work out.” Being that this question is pretty important for those that try to run their own shows, this has been something that I’ve put a lot of resources into thinking about. In part because at some…

  • The One Person Theater: On Wearing Many Hats

    Glancing at some of the older posts on FourthEye I thought that it might be valuable to create a follow up to my piece on polymathism, something that I personally interact with a fair amount. In this article, I’d like to go over some of the things that I think are paramount for those that…

  • Some Ideas On Approaching Work Differently

    As someone who is graced with the opportunity to be self-employed, I’ve been thinking about how I might get more out of myself without succumbing to the all to familiar “running on e” problem. To the end of addressing this problem, I’ve been playing around with tying in some ideas that I’ve gotten from the…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • The Value Of Working In Service Of Others

    Written by: Orion Webster Before starting FourthEye, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what things were worth working on and really drilling down on why I thought I was justified in choosing the things I did. I often found that I would fizzle out, not because of burnout, or because I…
