7-1b5 You can solve problems that just got created

Next:

• 7-1b5a You can create problems. Not in the sense of causing problems, but literally creatively creating them. There are good problems and bad problems. Work on and solve good problems.
• 7-1b6 There are only problems to be solved. Types of problems are arbitrary, because one type can be easily morphed into another.

• 1-1a4c If you assume the possible existence of the ‘ultimate’ theory, you’d be assuming a meaningless (zero-freedom) world

• 8-1c4d5c Don’t be constrained by the definition of ‘apps’, ‘platforms’, and ‘people’ — because they are arbitrary (e.g., platform can be build on top of platform, apps when combined can turn into platform, etc)

• 7-1a5b Ask which problem-situation is the most problematic one (conscious, inexplicit, unconscious, future, new)

• 1-2g3a At the limit, new theories create new problems

• 7-1d2a The relation between technology and the problem-situation (i.e., culture and mind) is reflexive

• 5-3a Knowledge via new explanations is inherently creative and its effects are positive-sum, because it begets new problems to be solved

• 5-1b1a1e Innovation and science can feed each other. We tend to treat them separately, but both are attempts to solve problems.
