“The Ohio River near Wheeling, West Virginia” 1859 Lefevre James Cranstone

As we explain in our ABOUT, we continue grooming a cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993.  Code-writers and vote-getters for the user-interest in the American standards system are far and few between because technical expertise is expensive.   The cost of an informed and effective voice can only be met by the technical oligarchies we also identify in our ABOUT  — i.e. conformance, manufacturers, insurance interests, trade associations — but those voices are out there.  Many front-line experts are also enraged by the waste, duplication and non-sense that has characterized the US public education system since 1965.

We are now drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.

Standards Michigan remains the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards West Virginia will be accessible to user-interest code-writers and vote-getters.   Please send [email protected] a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest. #StandardsWestVirginia

The Birth of Tragedy 1910 | Friedrich Nietzsche

…“Without myth, however, every culture loses its healthy creative natural power: it is only a horizon encompassed with myth that rounds off to unity a social movement.”

…“What does our great historical hunger signify, our clutching about us of countless cultures, our consuming desire for knowledge, if not the loss of myth, of a mythic home, the mythic womb?”

…“… all life rests on appearance, art, illusion, optics, the need for perspective and for error…”

…“Knowledge kills action, for action requires a state of being in which we are covered with the veil of illusion.”

…“Around the hero everything becomes a tragedy; around the demigod everything becomes a satyr-play; and around God everything becomes — what? perhaps a ‘world’?”

…“There is nothing more terrible than a class of barbaric slaves who have learned to regarded their existence as an injustice, and now prepare to avenge, not only themselves, but all generations.”

“Archimedes Thoughtful” 1620 Domenico Fetti

 

 

“The supply of government exceeds the demand”

—  Lewis Lapham

 

We circle back to our February 2015 coverage of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act because it forms a significant part of the foundation for technological self-determination of most US industries — including the education and health care industry.   This time we have the good fortune of having this topic enlightened by the time and expertise of Andrew Updegrove of Gesmer Updegrove, LLC — one of the leading names in global standards setting, promotional consortia and open source foundations.


Issue: [11-31]

Category: Academics, Administration & Management, Public Policy, US Department of Commerce

Colleagues: Mike Anthony, Jack Janveja, Christine Fischer, Rich Robben, Andrew Updegrove
