These are some principles observed by Molaskes in all his work,
which he also would strongly recommend to anybody else.
1.
Systematic:
a controlled, well-structured, well-proven
stepwise progression from the task to the fully satisfying solution
2.
Pragmatic:
only regarding real-world facts, limitations, and resources
accepting and utilizing the framework around the task
3.
A-Priori:
thinking things through from the ground up,
developing solutions from scratch,
to eliminate any risk of repeating the shortcomings
of pre-existing, non-optimal solution attempts,
and in order to develop the really all-round perfect solution
(this is the opposite of the common a-posteriori work mode
where people simply try some modifications of things,
in a never-ending trial-and-error chain of dilettantism,
which is sadly how most of mankind works since centuries)
4.
Eclectic:
extracting from any available sources any helpful elements,
while not buying into any of the nonsense that may
for whatever reasons usually stick to them or surround them
5.
Holistic:
always keeping the big picture in mind,
especially regarding any
ethical issues
that may surround the task or potential solutions
6.
Excellence and Perfection:
always striving for the one pragmatically perfect solution,
as any other attempts still leave problems to be solved,
and thus are incomplete, too complicated, too hard,
not feasible, or ethically irresponsible
(also see
E
The Engineer's Credo)
7.
Hyper-Negentropic:
negentropy as the core guiding value,
which means reducing all bad things in the world,
such as damage, harm, risks, suffering, and death,
and protecting, supporting, helping, and creating
peaceful life and other good, positive things in the world
(see also
M
The Molaskes Manifesto)
8.
Hyper-Cybernetic:
understanding, using, and if necessary (re-)programming
complex self-regulating systems in technology as well as
in nature, including biology and psychology,
which also includes a comprehensive self-management
and of course project/work management
9.
Optimistic:
always remembering that every problem can be solved,
the question is never if, but always only how,
which may often include the need to learn new tools,
and/or acquire new physical tools, and/or to get either
through interim solution steps where you have to
invent/develop or build them yourselves first,
until you can use them to create
the solution for the original task;
after several applications of this work ethos,
you develop absolute confidence in it and in yourself
10.
Joyful/Playful:
playfully experiment with everything new you learn,
and enjoy the new experiences and any challenges
