How to nearly anything:
- Understand what a system really is (ie., political system, electrical system, weather system, financial system, digestive system, computer system, etc.).
- Understand what a problem really is. Any problem.
- Define the problem that you are working on. Write it down.
- "Read" the system, not just words. Observe it. Read society a bit by observing it more. Learn about it. Get certified if needed. Define a solution. Write it down. Work on the solution.
- Know the difference between healthy competition and unhealthy competition.
How to save money:
- Don't. Why save money? It does not need you.
- It will be fine without you. You are not its hero.
- Try reducing spending instead.
How to disrespect talent and sacrifice completely:
- Write articles similar to: Cook Strait power cable gets $1.14b upgrade nod | The Press and pretend people are that interested in your job insecurity disguised as a useful article about infrastructure projects.
- Write words like 'nod'. And combinations of words like 'backs replacement'. And 'draft decision'. And 'would lift'. And 'carries electricity' and 'risk of breakdowns'.
- Realise that the project is not at all approved: Projects
- Look for a new career as a Cable Nodder. I do not know if MCERT are hiring them.
- Wonder if nuance disguises military terminology and realise that your readers were intelligent after all.
- Wonder if you would be let anywhere near a keyboard to write such junk about any other military domains.
- Realise that terminology is a thing within a topic.
How to write articles about infrastructure projects and other disciplines:
- Use the active voice more.
- Use terminology more.
- Publish article.
How to lower fuel prices:
- Carpool. This changes the supply and demand dynamic in complex ways. It is mostly expensive because we keep buying it.
- Once people carpool more, fuel will be cheaper. It will take a while. Less people at the pump will result in the petrol stations competing on price. Sometimes they are across the road from each other and do not even need to compete on price or features or customer service. It will lower the rate of commuters competing getting to work quicker. Less cars on the road also means cheaper fuel. Fuel has an expiry date. Just like bread. If people buy less bread it ends up stale or being donated. This goes for diesel as well (4WDs and utes and vans).
- Then, people who we most need to be able to afford fuel (including diesel) (ie. truckies, farmers, builders, excavators) can do so more easily.
- Carpooling can also lead to safer roads and quicker deliveries and less road rage. You can also save money for holidays and the roads will be emptier when you go on holidays.
How to be more handy around your area:
- Get the toolkits from the back of unused cars before they get scrapped.
- Share them around if you have more than you need.
- Use them for tasks if you want.
How to reduce alcohol harm:
- Write down a list of things (on paper) that you think are good for you and your life when it comes to alcohol (or any addiction). Take your time with it. Alternatively, tell someone you care about who is addicted to write the list.
- Review the list and discuss whether those things are actually happening in your life (or their life). Compare the list with the discussion.
- Have a think about what just happened. In a few days harm and addiction will be reduced.
