True development

 

What is Development and Growth,

Is it,

1. Earning more money

2. Increasing GDP

3. Increasing productivity

Or is is it

1. Understating yourself better and as much as possible

2. Accepting who you are

3. Defending yourself

Price discrimination is wrong

Full disclosure. I have worked on many platforms which enables Price discrimination.

I do not believe in price discrimination. I believe its wrong. Price discrimination is wrong.

What is easier : 

1. Giving the best prices to your "best" customers. 

Or. 

2. Giving the best price to a Customer who really needs it at this time.

(1.) is easier. (2.) is better. Both are wrong.

Why?

1. Who are the best customer? Those who spend the most? The most loyal?

• The best customer usually means those that spends the most. They then get the best deals. Overtime, eventually leading to apartheid and discrimination by design and by algorithm.  
• Loyalty is lost when shopping around to get the best prices. So again, Loyalty is a luxury. 

2. How are needs calculated? 

• Aligning business and customer needs is very difficult. You can only predict what customer wants (unless they tell you). 

Solution,

Show the best proposition to customer based on their needs at this or a future time - and that's all. No discounts should be applied unless their time has been wasted (.i.e. late deliveries)

Tools of Belief

How you use a tool is based on your 

    1. belief, 2. your skill, 3. tools capabilities

Example,

The tool is a  Pencil.

Your commissioned to draw a court room scene.

Yours drawing skills are great (2). And its your favourite Pencil (3).

However you do not like the defendant. 

You draw the person in way which undermines them. They look bad. They look Guilty.

Belief guides your skill and tools capability.

Medicine and Knowing yourself

The truth will set you free. It will also keep you healthy.

The longer humans remain on earth, the more we will learn about ourselves - individually and globally. These learnings will change us. This is real growth.

Tools exist to enable this self-discovery. However they are restricted and not universally available. Eventually tools will not be required or at be least more accessible.  Everyone will know themselves - eventually. 

Physically, mentally and spiritually.

The more we truly know about ourselves - the better we can manage ourselves. Consciously and Unconsciously.

This includes managing our health - mentally and physically. 

Prevention is better than cure.
