111001 - On 050405 decided to explain presencing in NWO based on the role of
111002 - religion for building faith to meet the burden of cognitive overhead
111003 - that resists investing time for study and gaining experience to learn
111004 - better tools and practices, like SDS and Communication Metrics.
111005 - ref SDS 18 DI5I  Presencing has gained visibility for facilitating
111006 - these common transformation steps of study, trial, and experiment to
111007 - gain experience, reported on 040622. ref SDS 14 F75Y  Earlier this
111008 - year on 050322 someone inquired about how SDS relates to presencing,
111009 - ref SDS 17 645H, which further showed association with "change
111010 - management." ref SDS 17 SP4O
111012 -  ..
111013 - To illustrate why people gravitate toward movements like presencing to
111014 - help people overcome ignorance, fear, and denial that resist improving
111015 - the work, decided to add background in NWO on the history of previous
111016 - transformations that have lifted civilization, largely from the record
111017 - on 960304 reviewing background on the computer industry. ref SDS 4
111018 - 0001  This new material greatly expands NWO, but seems helpful to
111019 - guide people toward learning a new way of working.

111042 - Newton's famous comment that he has seen further by standing on the
111043 - shoulders of giants summarizes the concept that invention occurs along
111044 - a continuum building on prior work to advance civilization.
111045 - ref OF 14 497F  Drucker commented similarly noting that civilization

111055 - Newtonian reductionist thinking is credited for the larger concept of

111067 - More recently, on 040620, people are proposing that new theories from
111068 - quantum physics for understanding "chaos" where Newton's formulas do
111069 - not predict behavior of subatomic particles because all of the
111070 - variables are not evident, justify ignoring requirements for good
111071 - management in the macro world where limitations of time, distance, and
111072 - resources require analysis of probabilities to reduce randomness for
111073 - evident variables, also, called mechanistic, linear Newtonian
111074 - reductionist thinking. ref SDS 12 K47Q  Frustrations attempting to
111075 - apply good management to complex communications causes people to give
111076 - up, noted by Drucker, reviewed on 931130.  Rather than invest time to
111077 - understand variables, some people simply classify everything as
111078 - "hidden variables" and revert to intuition, hunch, hope, and fear that
111079 - drives the proverbial "gut feeling," and "warm fuzzy" feeling to guess
111080 - about everyting, rather than attempt to reduce the range of hidden
111081 - variables.  People who have given up on good management have adopted a
