Thank you Patrick for a kind of life affirming essay! I have always felt I was not liked because I tried to show in my engineering industry, both at project level initially and later at corporate management level until 2001, that linear process and thinking does not work for long and we needed to see outside of that. I then went into education and was faced with exactly what you say here. Linear, very out of date, curricula and systems that were trying to shoehorn a diverse range of young, enthusiastic engineers into the same box and break them. The misogynistic, white beard lecturers and institutional hierarchy whom had been in place for 25+ years, sitting on silver book pensions, called me the Witch of the West as I disrupted the deeply embedded and broken lines of thinking they all desperately clung to. I stayed for 10 years for the sake of the students who responded to my recursive way of thinking and thrived but I had to do so mainly under the radar. I left when it all broke as I said it would, to start my own business. As you said so well, - 'intelligence is not a possession but a process'. I love this and your reference to the planets as being the most 'out there' recursive system and there is our evidence from millennia! Since partial retirement and as an engineering scientist, I have become so interested in systems theory, biology (for better health) and quantum physics to look outside my own learning and intelligence. I have also studied astrology for 5 years now privately, and it is not all horoscopes and predictions as rag newspapers will portray. It too is a recursive system, reading the harmonics of the planets in perfect relation to each but also to each and everyone of us and this planet, at any moment of the day. The synchronistic sacred geometry is mind blowing especially when you look back at in hindsight in the ephemeris. Its one big spiral too. And it should certainly be considered a science! Anyway thanks again for an excellent read.
Thanks for sharing Sally. Yes you did pick two linear industries for sure. I spent most of my career in banking and then medical devices so I know the experience of those linear structures also. I’m loving learning about neuroscience biology and systems theory as well! Yes I think it’s all interconnected and recursive. Thanks for comments and for reading!!

We could not agree more with this perspective 👏🏻
