The rule of the 70’s gremlin

The Rule of the 70’s Gremlin is that,” you can take a crappy car and spend an exorbitant amount of money trying to make it more powerful and better looking”, but at the end of the day it’s still just a crappy ass Gremlin. You need to try another approach.
Look, we can spend another 2 billion on upgrading the state spending for the year, but it’s sill going to be stuck with “The rule of the 70’s GREMLIN” all over again. We need a fresh start.

Kelly’s Rule of Inquiry

If you ask the top people for their opinions first, you won’t get effective advice from the people below them.

A group of people can be asked to make a decision and will march off in a direction they never would have taken by themselves.

When doctors are preparing to perform brain surgery on your wife, pull the top surgeons and physicians into a breakroom with residents and other medical staff and ask the people on the lowest rungs of the profession for their opinions on the surgery first.

“I learned you do not want to ask the space shuttle commander, the flight director, the chief engineer or program manager his opinion first. If you do, you don’t get effective advice from the people below them.”
At Los Alamos, visitors Niels Bohr and brother Harald obeyed Kelly’s Rule of Inquiry by running their ideas on the current work by Richard Feynman before asking anyone higher up.

Bauer's Rule of Idiocracy

Of greater danger than nobody knowing what to do is a broadly held presumption that somebody does.

Source: “‘Idiocracy’ is a disturbingly prescient reflection of our current reality, not because nobody knows anything but because everybody thinks somebody does." ~ Jared Bauer
Bauer's Rule of Idiocracy arises in part from characteristics discussed in Erich Fromm’s “Escape From Freedom,” including a desire to defer to a trusted figure to escape the burden of having to puzzle out matters for which one is ill-equipped, the learning curve is steep, or information is at best incomplete.
