Post Subject: Horns are not a problemPosted by eduardo on: 8/7/2009

I do not completely agree with you. You see, I do not feel that stressing of “physics and geometry“or “scientific concepts” leads to anywhere. In fact I generally do not feel that knowledge itself worth a lot. I value much more a presence of a common sense and a proper pattern to develop necessary knowledge if there is a need for them

I know what you mean. Yes, the important thing is the common sense, anyway.

That is why when I sometimes do interviews of personal to hire for my clients I hardly ever ask questions that require knowledge but I rather tend to ask the questions that they are absolutely do not know and that have no firm single answer but rather have zillion answers “depends”. What important to me is not the fact the person would find or guess the answers/s among the baggage of own knowledge but to see what kind mental mechanism the person would use to approach the answer

Absolutely. You are analyzing people here.

But If you want to reach objectives and do the things, knowledge , comprehension of things , conceptual thinking ,science, are necessary elements to work with. It is not a matter of knowing a lot , but a matter of being able of knowing for yourself helped with a kind of personal set of “scientific” or “obcjective” knowledge.

Anyway ,within a certain intelectual and humanistic level of tasks, you have to be a kind of "consistent,common sensed,analitical kind of person" if you know what I mean; You cant be a “higend audio” kind of guy.

What i mean is kind of : If you dont realize first what a horn obcjectively is, then you are thinking in a prejudice basis. Scientific knowledge let you advance secure,
although in fact it is your “vision of things” the decisive element, your intuition,your understanding.

Do you know what the most common question I ask in emails? The Morons read some my positions at my site and then send me emails asking “How do I know?”

I am aware of this kind of questions. People who truly wants to know, must ask themselves first about “how I dont know” instead of asking others “how do you know”.
Problem here must be that understanding and sensibility at the same time are necessary elements to develop some kind of “interesting or objectived sound” and be able to understand much of the ideas expressed within this site.
