iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I really think humans seek novelty so much that we fail to notice that we only have 3 or four problems that keep recurring, but we think they’re new because the details change.

I'm a professional scientist best described as a drug discovery pharmacologist. I've been a scientist for 4 decades and in industry for 2.5 decades. What do you think is the most important thing I've learned? I'm gathering opinions. I think I know, and I'll post it if I get enough opinions.

The purpose of a public education is to teach people to experience the unknown as a problem they can investigate rather than a threat they must avoid.

Humans don’t recognize content. We make decisions almost exclusively on human authority figures and how we feel. Until we have the discipline to understand how something works, our current (and historical) strategy will continue to fail us.

The problem with tribalism is essentially you surround yourself with people that suffer from the same cognitive errors you do.

I would like to reorganize the US society. Federal level, population level outcomes only, no individual interactions. If the feds want to arrest someone, send a warrant and request to the state police. Except for… law enforcement officers, then a separate independent adjudication system.

We use too many words. There are over 4500 words in the U.S. Constitution, and we could probably write the document with about 150 words. Words that are unambiguous and avoid synonyms, polysemy, and contextual inference.

Politics isn't going to fix the problems we have. It can put a stop to the more egregious stupidity, but we need a different approach.

We are temporary, self-aware animals on a rock in space. This is the only life you get. Don’t waste it. Don’t damage others’. And don’t extinguish the only system we know that can understand the universe.

Apparently we’ve never had a grasp on laws. Why won’t LA enforce state law? This isn’t a jurisdictional question. It’s the police job to enforce, not make or interpret law. www.dailynews.com/2026/01/29/l...

LAPD won’t enforce ban on federal law enforcement officers wearing masks, chief says

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said the ban is “not a good public policy decision.”

Since humans took thousands of years to accept that the earth wasn’t the center of the universe, perhaps we should not be surprised that we’ve yet to grasp the concept that the law applies equally to everyone. That concept was the impetus for the Magna Carta in 1215. It’s only been 800 years.

The principle is: The environment in our shared spaces is no longer safe and predictable. And we didn’t introduce the unpredictability.

Too much media capacity.

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

If the past year is an indication, we need to find another method for governing ourselves that doesn’t rely on our fellow humans to understand anything or make deliberate decisions. And one that doesn’t rely on authority to enforce decisions. Are we smart enough to find a solution?

Ed Cable @ecable.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

It’s time to standardize and separate evidence collection into a society function, not beholden to law enforcement. We now have 70 years of the AAFS and they use established guidelines for professional behavior. Removing evidence collection from politics would yield a more predictable society.

How a problem appears and what the problem is, may be two entirely different things.

Politics is nothing more than a set of people, using regulatory capture, to try and herd everyone using fear and emotions

One of the ways we can affect change is malicious compliance. Legally, any law enforcement personnel may lie to you, without consequence. But you can’t. So don’t believe anything told to you by law enforcement.

I don’t know who will come up with the next good idea. What I do know is that our chances of recognizing it are very close to zero.

Why are we expecting rationality from a herd of humans? Can anyone provide a rational answer supported by data?

Today we had two high(er) profile shootings. One in Utah and one in Colorado. These two incidents have dominated the headlines and the social media angst and outrage (although one more than the other). However, what about the other 123 people who died by gunshot today? That's our daily kill count.

imagine a world where: • Peer-pressure-driven errors get caught early. • Reason outruns panic. • Long-term value is protected from short-term impulses. • Preparation is the norm, not the exception. • Cooperation comes with accountability.

What would it take to replace governance by status and legacy power with governance by evidence and function?

Since we have a population that’s proven capable of believing anything, AND it’s been shown that humans believe any explanation as long as it fits the facts, WHAT facts are required to elicit the proper behavior?

If the solution to the problem you seek requires those that are the source of the problem to recognize themselves as the cause, the problem will persist.

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government. After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

Per the briefing:
"On order, 1-18th Cavalry Squadron provides static interagency site protection, mounted mobile security, and Joint Force Land Component Command UFLCC) Reserve support to Customs and Border Patrol (CRP) and supporting federal agencies, whose intent at MacArthur Park is to demonstrate, through a show of presence, the capacity and freedom of maneuver or federal law enforcement within the Los Angeles Joint Operations Area (JOA)."
