You realize that you don’t need personal experience to solve theoretical problems? Especially ones that have been treated by experts in the area for decades prior.
- Maro 4y agoCan you point me to the Wikipedia page for the Theory of Optimal Workplace Layout? Because if this is a theoretical problem, with clear definitions, parameters, boundary conditions and objectives, which has already been solved, so that non-experts [such as CN] can just look up the solution, then I'd also like to see this!
- xoac 4y agoSurely you understand that not all knowledge is in Wikipedia? Your second paragraph is a total strawman.
- zazen 4y agoSurely you understand you were being challenged on the existence of an established theoretical solution, not on the existence of a literal link to Wikipedia specifically? Look to the straw man in your own eye.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoNo, he hit the bullseye. If you cannot mathematically define all the variables and boundary conditions, it is not a theoretical problem. Branches of science concerned human behaviour dont have theoretical problems.
- xoac 4y agoThis is a weird mathematical fundamentalism that I haven’t experienced in a while. Actually since I went to study philosophy with analytic philosophers.
