Three hundred and twenty nine days in the project #CriticalThinking in 365 concepts

Week 47 is complete. 

Exactly one year ago, before we started this project, I was praising our little neighborhood for its diversity and inherent cross-cultural creative and innovative spirit that we find everywhere and that we nurture in our children, and was praising the Omaha Public Schools for their work with us on building the community soul into our new elementary school that opened last August, of 2019. 

Little did we know then that by October last year, three months ago, we would start arguing with OPS to keep the community center open and certainly to not sell it to developers if it can stay as a place to help teach children how to think and learn better, and play and grow smarter and more entrepreneurial that way. 

We are optimistic that in this place the legacy of Warren and Charlie, and of Alan Heeger too, will not be forgotten.

Three hundred and twenty two days in the project #CriticalThinking in 365 concepts

Forty-six weeks done. Six weeks to go.

Let's remember that all these are mini case studies where we are to analyze the situation as best we can with a wide and wisely chosen selection of terms and analytical mechanisms introduced in the prior work. We can bombard the new terms with a carefully selected group of the prior ones as to analyze the situation, proactively seeking constructive solutions based on the analysis performed. Just the way we exemplified a while back about at the two thirds mark in the project.

As always, will be happy to answer any questions and to comment on any draft analyses. These dialogues always lead somewhere good. For example, today I will say the final YES on a colleague's Ph.D. submission of revisions to his doctoral thesis on innovation strategy. He's been working on it for a decade. It's finally done and final.
