Hello,
More of my philosophy about the black american Ph.D Katherine W. Phillips and about diversity and more..
I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..
I think i am smart, and i will invite you to read again the following article of the black american Ph.D Katherine W. Phillips that is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics Management at Columbia Business School(Read about her here:
https://
greatergood.berkeley.edu/profile/katherine_phillips):
How Diversity Makes Us Smarter
Read more here:
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_diversity_makes_us_smarter
But notice carefully in the above article that she is not thinking and abstracting correctly, since notice that she is saying the following:
"Large data-set studies have an obvious limitation: They only show that diversity is correlated with better performance, not that it causes better performance."
But i think she is not thinking and abstracting correctly since from my saying below we can notice that human Diversity in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and better
cognitively and socially, but if we are
not being the right human diversity and we are working harder and better cognitively and socially, then i think being human diversity can still "keep" or "maintain" the working harder and better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings
different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent thinking that enhance creativity and innovation.
More of my philosophy about USA and human diversity and more..
I just said the following:
"I think i am understanding rapidly, since i think that human Diversity
in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and
better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent
thinking that enhance creativity and innovation."
So i will invite you to look at my following writing about USA that will make you notice how USA is making itself innovative and creative by bringing the "best" big brains immigrants, and notice, like in my above saying, that it is also saying the
following:
"But it’s not just a numbers thing. Another reason immigrants do so well
in tech is that people from outside bring new perspectives that lead to
new ideas."
And here is more of my new thoughts about USA, read them again carefully:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.culture.morocco/c/kIbGEdTXezQ
Yet more precision of my philosophy about diversity and adaptability and resilience..
I think i am understanding rapidly, since i think that human Diversity
in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and
better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent
thinking that enhance creativity and innovation:
And here is my new proverb that talks more about it:
"Human vitality comes from intellectual openness and intellectual
openness also comes from divergent thinking and you have to well balance divergent thinking with convergent thinking so that to converge towards
the global optimum of efficiency and not get stuck on a local optimum of efficiency, and this kind of well balancing makes the good creativity."
And i will explain more my proverb so that you understand it:
I think that divergent thinking is thought process or method used to
generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions, but notice
that we even need openness in a form of economic actors that share ideas
across nations and industries (and this needs globalization) that make
us much more creative and that's good for economy, since you can easily
notice that globalization also brings a kind of optimality to divergent thinking, and also you have to know how to balance divergent thinking
with convergent thinking, since if divergent thinking is much greater
than convergent thinking it can become costly in terms of time, and if
the convergent thinking is much greater than divergent thinking you can
get stuck on local optimum of efficiency and not converge to a global
optimum of efficiency, and it is related to my following thoughts about
the philosopher and economist Adam Smith, so i invite you to read them:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.culture.morocco/c/ftf3lx5Rzxo
More of my philosophy about life and about evolutionary algorithms..
I invite you to listen to the following beautiful song of Simon & Garfunkel called called April Come She Will:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J1tCJEYETk
I think that the above video of the song is showing how our world
is "diversified" and it is good for adaptation and resilience, and it is the most important thing, and this diversification is also very important even in economy, since i think it is like evolutionary algorithms in artificial intelligence, since they
are based on the same very important idea of diversifying by also decentralizing by efficiently specializing the members of the population so that to make it efficiently "adaptable" and much more "resilient", and the efficiently specializing can be
efficiently specializing in a much higher level layer, like being a "generalist" medical doctor, and from the this decentralizing and efficiently specializing emerges a higher level intelligence such as a civilization, so then even evolutionary design
methodology that i am talking about in my thoughts below does decentralize from the agile architect to the other members of the team,
and here is step 3 of the important steps of evolutionary design methodology of agile that i am talking about below:
3- Instead of creating one big design at the beginning of the project
that covers all of the requirements, agile architects use incremental
design, which involves techniques that allow them to design a system
that is not just complete, but also easy for the team to modify as
the project changes.
And here is my thoughts about artificial intelligence and evolutionary algorithms in artificial intelligence:

More of my philosophy about economic diversification in Africa and Arab countries..
As you will read in the following paper that economic diversification is good for growth and economic diversification is also tremendously important for "resilience", so i think that the country that we call Algeria has a big problem since it lacks too
and too much on diversification of its economy, so i think that Algeria will get easily into big problems of violence and disorder, but Morocco and Dubai are much more diversified economies and i think that Morocco is on the right path, so i think that
the problem of many African countries is that they have to become diversified economies.
Read the following paper so that to notice how important is diversification of economy:
Economic Diversification in Africa: How and Why It Matters
https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/04/30/economic-diversification-in-africa-how-and-why-it-matters-pub-84429
More of my philosophy about economy and about Morocco and Algeria and more..
So as you are noticing i was speaking, read below, about Algeria,
and you have quickly noticed that the Algerian economic problem comes
from the fact that Algeria is a much less diversified economy than Dubai or than my country Morocco, so i think that Morocco is a much more diversified economy and i think that Morocco is really on the
right path and Morocco is also a beautiful country, since read in the following article of year 2019, it says that the 2019 International Franchise Attractiveness Index ranked Morocco 39 out of 131 states. This made it the number 1 attractive business
hub for US-based franchises in Africa and the second in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) after the United Arab Emirates. This ranking shows it competing with some leading international powers, including France, Spain, Germany and Australia,
according to a report by Morocco World News. The index combines peer-reviewed research and a survey of franchise executives to produce two rankings, balanced growth and aggressive growth.

More of my philosophy about economy and inflation and more..
I invite you to read the following about how do Governments Reduce Inflation:
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111314/what-methods-can-government-use-control-inflation.asp
I think that one of the best way to reduce inflation is by reducing the money supply within an economy via decreased bond prices and increased interest rates, and the above web page is speaking about it, but i think
that there is still a problem, since inflation can become problematic if
the product or service become a monopoly, so if the prices of the product or service can not be reduced by for example economies of scale or/and by "competition", so the price of the product or service can be set high and it is inflation on this product
or service, so this kind of situation can also lead to an economic war, also inflation still can become a problem like with the drastic fall of the algerian Dinar in Algeria, since Algeria is lacking on diversification of its economy and also was unable
to reduce its reliance on food imports, since 70% of the Algeria food requirements are met by imports, so with the drastic fall of the algerian Dinar, the price of Food in Algeria was getting high, and the people of Algeria were suffering because of that,
and this situation can still repeat itself again and again in Algeria.
Read about it here:

I invite you to look at step 4 of my below thoughts of software Evolutionary Design methodology with agile, here it is:
4- When in agile a team breaks a project into phases, it’s called
incremental development. An incremental process is one in which
software is built and delivered in pieces. Each piece, or increment,
represents a complete subset of functionality. The increment may be
either small or large, perhaps ranging from just a system’s login
screen on the small end to a highly flexible set of data management
screens. Each increment is fully coded Sprints, Planning, and
Retrospectives.
And you will notice that it has to be done by "prioritizing" the pieces of the software to be delivered to the customers, and here again in agile you are noticing that we are also delivering prototypes of the software, since we often associate prototypes
with nearly completed or just-before launch versions of products. However, designers create prototypes at all phases of the design process at various resolutions. In engineering, students are taught to and practitioners think deeply before setting out to
build. However, as the product or system becomes increasingly complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to consider all factors while designing. Facing this reality, designers are no longer just "thinking to build" but also "building to think." By
getting hands on and trying to create prototypes, unforeseen issues are highlighted early, saving costs related with late stage design changes. This rapid iterative cycle of thinking and building is what allows designers to learn rapidly from doing.
Creating interfaces often benefit from the "build to think" approach. For example, in trying to layout the automotive cockpit, one can simply list all the features, buttons, and knobs that must be incorporated. However, by prototyping the cabin does one
really start to think about how the layout should be to the driver in order to avoid confusion while maximizing comfort. This then allows the designer iterate on their initial concept to develop something that is more intuitive and refined. Also
prototypes and there demonstrations are designed to get potential customers interested and excited.
More of my philosophy about the Evolutionary Design methodology and more..
Here are some important steps of software Evolutionary Design methodology:
1- Taking a little extra time during the project to write solid code and
fix problems today, they create a codebase that’s easy to maintain
tomorrow.
2- And the most destructive thing you can do to your project is to build
new code, and then build more code that depends on it, and then still
more code that depends on that, leading to that painfully familiar
domino effect of cascading changes...and eventually leaving you with
an unmaintainable mess of spaghetti code. So when teams write code,
they can keep their software designs simple by creating software
designs based on small, self-contained units (like classes, modules,
services, etc.) that do only one thing; this helps avoid the domino
effect.
3- Instead of creating one big design at the beginning of the project
that covers all of the requirements, agile architects use incremental
design, which involves techniques that allow them to design a system
that is not just complete, but also easy for the team to modify as
the project changes.
4- When in agile a team breaks a project into phases, it’s called
incremental development. An incremental process is one in which
software is built and delivered in pieces. Each piece, or increment,
represents a complete subset of functionality. The increment may be
either small or large, perhaps ranging from just a system’s login
screen on the small end to a highly flexible set of data management
screens. Each increment is fully coded Sprints, Planning, and
Retrospectives.
5- And an iterative process in agile is one that makes progress through
successive refinement. A development team takes a first cut
at a system, knowing it is incomplete or weak in some (perhaps many)
areas. They then iteratively refine those areas until the product is
satisfactory. With each iteration the software is improved through
the addition of greater detail.
More of philosophy about Democracy and the Evolutionary Design methodology..
I will make a logical analogy between software projects and Democracy,
first i will say that because of the today big complexity of software
projects, so the "requirements" of those complex software projects are
not clear and a lot could change in them, so this is
why we are using an Evolutionary Design methodology with different tools
such as Unit Testing, Test Driven Development, Design Patterns,
Continuous Integration, Domain Driven Design, but we have to notice
carefully that an important thing in Evolutionary Design methodology is
that when those complex software projects grow, we have first to
normalize there growth by ensuring that the complex software projects
grow "nicely" and "balanced" by using standards, and second we have to
optimize growth of the complex software projects by balancing between
the criteria of the easy to change the complex software projects and the performance of the complex software projects, and third you have to
maximize the growth of the complex software projects by making the most
out of each optimization, and i think that by logical analogy we can
notice that in Democracy we have also to normalize the growth by not
allowing "extremism" or extremist ideologies that hurt Democracy, and we
have also to optimize Democracy by for example well balancing between "performance" of the society and in the Democracy and the "reliability"
of helping others like the weakest members of the society among the
people that of course respect the laws, and so that to understand more
my thoughts of my philosophy about Democracy, i invite you to read them

More of my philosophy about the kind of president Biden's tax increase on the rich and more..
And of course the kind of president Biden's tax increase on the rich will be used so that narrow America's vast income inequality,
read carefully here so that to understand:
Biden's corporate tax plan takes aim at income inequality
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/bidens-corporate-tax-plan-takes-aim-income-inequality-77420625
So there is still a problem and it is that we have to solve the problem
of the financial sector by giving voting rights and tax advantages to long-term shareholders etc., read my below thoughts so that to understand:
I have posted the following video:
Why raising taxes destroys the economy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GChpnX44_Ns
But i think that the kind of Biden's tax increase on the rich is not a problem, read the following so that to notice:
"In an interview, Mr. Pomerleau said the drag was small from the proposals because Mr. Biden was largely taxing savings of high earners, which are not major drivers of economic growth given those Americans have a lot of their wealth saved.
“Some tax increases have larger effects on growth than others,” he said. “Biden has chosen taxes that don’t have a massive effect.”"

The biggest benefit of finance, is to provide opportunities to people, in the sense that in a world where there is no finance, the only way to start a company is to be born rich or to have saved for a long time. In a world where finance works well, the
people with talent can actually start firms and reach their dreams without waiting to either have saved the money, or be lucky and receive it from their parents, and once you create this opportunity, you will have the most talented people take advantage
of those opportunities, which favors growth, which favors a good allocation of resources and, ultimately, innovation. But we have to know what is the problem with finance, and here it is, read the following so that to understand:
One last chance to fix capitalism
Read more here:
https://hbr.org/2020/03/one-last-chance-to-fix-capitalism
So i invite you to look at the following video about capitalism:
How to Improve Capitalism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOaJe68C-bU
So as you notice in the above video that you can also fix capitalism by
giving voting rights and tax advantages to long-term shareholders and
not by raising taxes, and you need to have sovereign wealth funds and
national pension funds representative of the long term collective
interests etc, so i invite you to look the above video of "How to
improve capitalism" so that to understand more.

More of my philosophy of how to become rich and more..
I invite you to look at the following video that speaks
about how to become rich:
STOP Chasing Money -- Chase WEALTH. | How To get RICH | Garry Tan's Office
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hdu4DlnLIk&t
The person that is speaking on the above video is called Garry Tan,
and here he is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Tan
And I think i am smart and i invite you to look at the following "defect" or "bug" of the above video, look here at what he is saying:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hdu4DlnLIk&t=425s
So he is saying the following:
"So what is most useful, is actually acquiring skills that nobody else has, especially in combination that are rare. If you can rebound the ball and nobody does it quite the way you can, you can be a Hall of Fame
basketball player. And that applies to all the things in your career and in life."
So look at the following how he is giving the "general" way:
"So what is most useful, is actually acquiring skills that nobody else has, especially in combination that are rare."
I think that the "defect" in the above saying and "general" way of the
above video is that it is not taking into account the factor of the usefulness to consumers or to customers since you can acquire skills that nobody else has, especially in combination that are rare, but those skills can still be useless to the consumers
or customers, so i think that the above saying is not so smart. So the person on the above video has forgot the very basis of what is it of something has to be useful for the consumers or customers, so read my following smart "redefinition" of
Utilitarianism so that to understand:
More of my philosophy about why the definition of Utilitarianism is like an IQ test..
Notice that i think i am smart, since when i just looked rapidly at the definition below of Utilitarianism, i have rapidly discovered a pattern
with my fluid intelligence and it is that even if the definition
of Utilitarianism is: That Utilitarianism prescribes actions that maximise happiness and well-being for all affected individuals,
i can easily see a pattern with my fluid intelligence since i am
smart, since the pattern is that Utilitarianism maximises happiness and well-being by well balancing taking into account not
only the present but also the future, i mean that responability
is inherent to the definition since the well balancing forces us
to be responsability in the present or today so that to maximize correctly happiness and well being tomorrow or in the future.
I can give you another IQ test that i have rapidly invented and
here it is:
So i will give my example of pattern recognition with my fluid
intelligence that permits to understand, here it is:
So if you want to go fast from my country Morocco to another country
called USA , how will you do it ? or what will you do ?
It is like my IQ test..
So if you answer that you need for example to use a fast airplane to go
fast from Morocco to USA, your answer is a stupid answer, so you need
the smart answer, so i will answer that the fast airplane too has to be "reliable" and your "health" has too to permit it and the "weather" has
too to permit it, so now you are clearly noticing that you need to take
into account many "factors" so that to go fast from Morocco to USA, so
you are clearly noticing that being smart needs also a good plan.
More precision of my philosophy about Utilitarianism..
I invite you to read the following definition of what is Utilitarianism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism
So as you are noticing, it says that Utilitarianism prescribes actions that maximise happiness and well-being for all affected individuals,
but i think that Utilitarianism is not idiotic since it maximises happiness and well-being by well balancing taking into account not
only the present but also the future.
So you can read all my other proverbs that i have just invented quickly here:

More of my philosophy about my new proverbs and about my philosophy and more..
As you have just noticed that i have quickly not accepted the views
such as saying that it is materialism that is the problem, since i think
it is a dead-end in philosophy to say so, since i think those kind of extremist views bring too much violence and too much disorder, so as i have just said that i am not in accordance with following views of the following web page that says that
materialism is the problem and where Knox College psychologist Tim Kasser too says that materialism is the problem, and read my below thoughts to know why i am not in accordance with them, and read the following so that to notice:
Knox College psychologist Tim Kasser said:
"We know from research that materialism tends to be associated with treating others in more competitive, manipulative and selfish ways, as well as with being less empathetic"

And if you want to know more about my views on capitalism,

And I have just regrouped in my following post all my new proverbs that i have invented quickly, and here they are:
Here is also one important proverb of mine about Resourcefulness that permits you to understand it:
"Resourcefulness is one of the most important things, and it is a skill,
and the good news is: this skill can be learned and mastered, and resourcefulness is attained only when we combine the resourceful mindset
and skills, so we have to filter out some of the most useful resources
that help us, and resourcefulness is also to know who/what to look for
and what to ask, and when ressourcefulness is attained this becomes an
engine that permits you to have hope and to be energetic and to be
positive in doing what you are doing, since resourcefulness also permits
to easy the jobs for you."

More of my philosophy about how to be harmony and how solve the problems of materialism..
Here is my other just new proverb that explains how to solve the problems of materialism:
"The problem is not the tool that we call a knife, but it is how to use correctly the knife, and how to use correctly the knife can be laws that control the use of a knife or/and it can be also the knowing how to use
correctly a knife."
And this "knowing how to use correctly a knife" is also
like the "knowing how to live in harmony" of my following important proverb:
"There is some french that say: "On doit manier bien le verbe", "That we
have to speak or write a sophisticated language" , but they do not say
that speaking or writing a sophisticated language can become a deadly or dangerous weapon, so i answer them in french: "Il faut aussi enseigner
le savoir vivre ensemble en enseignant aussi une philosophie efficace de
vie", that means in english: "That we have to efficiently educate people
by also learning them a good and efficient philosophy so that they know
how to live in harmony", so as you are noticing that it needs a good
philosophy so that to avoid the mess of Israel."
I have just written the following:
Knox College psychologist Tim Kasser said the following:
"We know from research that materialism tends to be associated with treating others in more competitive, manipulative and selfish ways, as well as with being less empathetic"
Read more here:
https://www.vox.com/2014/12/24/7447727/materialism-psychology
But i think that i am not in accordance with the psychologist Tim Kasser above, since i don't think that materialism is the problem,
but it is what we call in french: "Il faudrait du savoir vivre ensemble"
and here is my new proverbs that talk about it:
Here is my other new proverb:
"There is some french that say: "On doit manier bien le verbe", "That we
have to speak or write a sophisticated language" , but they do not say
that speaking or writing a sophisticated language can become a deadly or dangerous weapon, so i answer them in french: "Il faut aussi enseigner
le savoir vivre ensemble en enseignant aussi une philosophie efficace de
vie", that means in english: "That we have to efficiently educate people
by also learning them a good and efficient philosophy so that they know
how to live in harmony", so as you are noticing that it needs a good
philosophy so that to avoid the mess of Israel."
And Here is my other new proverbs:
"When you like a beautiful song, you will have the strong tendency
to want to hear it or to buy it, but when you are maturity of
responsability, it can become that you have to like the responsability
of hearing or buying the song and not the beauty of the song, so when
you are intellectual maturity you will start to think about responsability."
And here is my new proverb:
"When you walk towards a goal in life it's like you walk down a forest path towards a goal, but when you walk this forest path you can look at flowers and pretty trees and be happier or you can also learn more and have more experience which is useful
while walking in the forest, then life is like this, you can go through it towards goals, but going through it you can also have pleasures that make you happier and you can learn more and have more experience and that is useful to you, and i think this
conception of life makes you more positive."
And here is the translation in french of my new proverb:
"Quand tu marches vers un objectif dans la vie, c'est comme tu marches dans un chemin de forêt vers un objectif, mais quand tu marches dans ce chemin de forêt tu peux regarder des fleurs et de jolis arbres et être plus joyeux ou tu peux aussi en
apprendre plus et avoir plus d'expérience qui est utile en marchant dans la forêt, alors la vie ressemble à cela, tu peux la traverser vers des objectifs, mais en la traversant tu peux avoir aussi des plaisirs qui te rendent plus heureux et tu peux
apprendre plus et avoir plus d'experience et cela t'est utile, et je pense que cette conception de la vie te rend plus positif."
So you have to understand that my proverb above is like
trying to well balance between, in one side, our strong human desire for success and the fear or the disliking of failure to attain the goal, and, in the other side, i am showing in my new proverb the good sides or
advantages or the pros of walking our lives towards the goal or goals even if failure or failures happen(s), and i think this conception of life of my proverb permits to be more positive, also you have to align the usefulness of the utility with the
global mission of the country or global world, and read my following thoughts about how i am redefining Utilitarianism so that to make you understand the how:
More of my philosophy about why the definition of Utilitarianism is like an IQ test..
