Confused and Too many thoughts on my plate

I'm studying up on Philosophy of Science. Basically it is trying to define science in order to differentiate it from pseudo sciences and looking for a true method in scientific studies. Its really hard to follow and I can't keep up with the names: Kuhn, Logical Positivism, Popper, Firerobin, etc... I get what its saying and I understand the value of all the big problems.

Thankfully I've come from a strategic background. in the economy of attention, it is best to go with what has worked best within our limited rational boundaries: the Pragmatic Philosophy. Pragmatic Philo is basically: go with what works. Of course, once you're familiar with the other Philos, you have more effective grasp of knowing the limitations and strengths of one problem solving method over another so as to allow you to "switch" to what suits the situation best.

I feel like its a very round about way of going back to my personal philo that has rather simple principle governing it, namely adapt. If Natural Selection Favors RANDOMLY generated mutations that works, then I guess that process of induction works for me.

Military Puzzles. The byzantine empire at 6C had about 35Million inhabitance before justinian reconquered all that there was to conquer in his reign. So thats a big puzzle for me: How do I prep Levant and Asia Minor to be the center of my altered history campaign setting when because there are so many wars populations went down progressively since the 4C.

Levant aka Palestine, Jordan and Syria have a total population of 5 million during the 4C going down the 2 is pretty depressing. Constant war drained the population of Asia Minor from 12M to 8 from 6C to 10C.

Anyway a lot of hand waving and a lot of speculation and going nowhere mostly.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
