The Hive Mind
It is now more accessible due to the internet and to get optimal results, there has to be certain checks and balances:
- Members of the crowd should not be the ones forming and framing a question.

When Disaster Strikes
When a certain disaster or calamity happens, we work towards ensuring that the same calamity can be dealt with in the better way, the next time it happens. The pain or loss that we suffer motivates us to do so.
We forget in our preparation and resource allocation to the ‘last’ disaster, that we have neglected many other things that are more likely to happen.
Expect The Unexpected
- Life has a tendency to surprise us, and we will be most likely smacked with something totally unforeseen and unrelated to the last disaster, that one was prepared for.

Thinking in Systems
It means to be able to break down a big system into its sections and putting it back together. The target is to identify the strong and weak links: how the sections work, don’t work, or could potentially work and applying this knowledge to engineer useful outcomes.
There is no engineering method, so modular systems thinking varies with contexts.
Fundamental Properties of the Engineering Mind-Set
- The ability to see a structure where there’s nothing apparent.
- Adeptness at designing under constraints.
- The capacity to hold alternative ideas in your head and make considered judgments.
