What if ...

What if you did not marry Bob?  What if you liked and paid attention in school?  What if your parents had lots of money?  What if you did not drink or now started to drink to become more social?  What if the car had new tires on this icy patch?  What if you stayed at that job or left for another and took those stock options? What if the human heart was not susceptible to long term stress?  What if your company did not go bankrupt?  Etc.

A life is made in these answers.

OK.  How many what-ifs are there in a typical life?  Let’s say we calculate one what-if per minute in 70 years of decision making, using a waking life of 16 hours per day.  If so, then there are about 25 million what-ifs to answer in every life.

These what-if decisions make up a life.  How well have you done?  Can you do better?  Enter Cognitive Science.  It is the science of what-if decision making.

What we have learned in Cognitive Science is that boutons ideate, on their own, for their life.  Boutons seeks-out and grow towards mental sensation energy streams.  That turning-towards opportunity for life is the one form of life.  This process is control by Quantum mechanical principles.  That means boutons ideate in a quad.

Ideologically, that quad forms a cross between two dichotomies: time and quality.  Consciousness sits in between these two, resolving your what-ifs. All people Judge and Do (JAD).

To improve your life, understand bouton ideation, and start making better decisions.

JAD.  Learn to be a 4-way thinker.  Get on with it.  This is easy, when you know how.
