Problem solving
At work, several of us are taking a course in problem solving. After a good day yesterday, I felt uncomfortable all afternoon. Borges wrote (Alastair Reid's translation):
It is no exaggeration to state that in the classical culture of Tlön, there is only one discipline, that of psychology.
We've discussed problem solving for two days. We tried exercises involving square doughnuts, contaminated film, incident sensors in a bank. I doubt we'll cover any case studies involving psychology.
