The cure for contradictions / by Alexander Lyadov

Many problems solve themselves if you rise above them.

For example, a problem is when you desperately want X, but need Y.

Or when at the same time desperately need to provide Z and anti-Z.

Such a contradiction seems insurmountable.

Each side stands firmly on its own, to the exclusion of the other.

When such a conflict is within, one falls into a stupor.

If there is a contradiction between departments, the company loses momentum.

The problem itself signals a lack of meta-meaning.

So one of the “cures” is to try to find the meaning that has been lost.

It is necessary to replace local functions with a global one.

Then all the rubbing parts will fall into their natural places.

Why is this possible in principle?

The contradiction did not arise in a vacuum and not by accident.

The original design did not involve friction, but then something went wrong.

The company was created with some intention, as was the individual.

But then the intent was forgotten or not put into words.

No one but you can fix that mess if you are the founder.

The good news is that this way you get rid of a bunch of problems in one fell swoop.

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
