Wrong Superlatives
Oh, Excuse Me, You've Got
the Wrong Set of Superlatives.
You're looking for the best rate of return but you've gone on the wrong fork of
the modernated computerized system.
You took the obvious superlative instead of the hidden superlative and now you
dead-ended yourself.
Let's talk about the hidden superlative. Hidden superlatives generate patterns
of regenerated returns. The fork you went on has diminishing returns. The hidden
superlative is such because it isn't apparent to human cognition. It takes
extreme expertise to notice it.
It's a plurality of a multitude of applicable modifiers of situations and tactics and so on, discovered by a laborious process of deduction and detective work, mixed with experience and know-how in finding such functional modifiers and it has almost nothing to do with the highly subjective and opinionated qualities -- the fairy-tale modifiers -- often arrived at by nothing more than supposition, guess work and prejudice that people constantly try to come up with.
It's one thing that makes
poetry so unfortunately useless for business, when it should be a major tool.
Why, in the old days, they used poetry to build great ships, did you know that?
No blue prints, no plans, just poetry. You think those old ships, built by
poems, were inferior? Man! They used to run without fuel in those
days. Top that one.
Now a bit of what we're talking about here is the concept of importance, supreme
importance, value, and priority. Well, that's for openers. Why do you think this
is so important? Exactly, if it's programmed into your computer system, that's
what every employee and business schmuck from here to Toobooba is going to
strive tooth and nail to get or to attain. It's the type of system that puts
Spring clothes in the Mart in the middle of a five-below Winter when they could
be selling dozens of sets of Winter gloves.
Therefore the concept of superlative is an entire technology in the industry of
information, concept, or what-have-you-boo-boo. Quit trying to take things so
lightly. I want to encourage you, you have a brain. You have an incredible
brain. Don't worry about your IQ. That could change. That IQ stuff is another
set of superlatives. Humankind doesn't know jack about it's own brain, kid. You
could be capable of historic, incredible achievement. Now, how's that for
superlatives. Except you know I'm not kidding around, at least not about this.
So the next time you're trying to describe value or what's best or even the
preferential concept or whatever it is, watch it. Be careful. How about this for a
motto: if it's written in stone, it marks a grave. You'll never find
out what something is really like until you've encountered it.
Misplacing superlatives, using the wrong superlatives and, worse yet -- the wrong set of superlatives, is a disaster waiting to happen. And if that disaster waits at your table, you'd better give it a hellova big tip and get out of there fast.
