The Dilemma

Zionism in its mainstream form is believed to have originated with Theodor Herzl in 1896, a Jewish writer living in Austria-Hungary. He published Der Judenstaat or The Jews State. In it he argued that the only solution to the "Jewish Question" in Europe was the creation of a state for the Jewish people (this was decades before Nazi Germany). Anti-Semitism was so widespread in Europe that Herzl saw the creation of a national sanctuary for his people as the only long-term answer. Nevertheless, Jewish speakers have at various points spoken out openly against the Zionist agenda. Among them, (Rabbi) Elmer Berger published The Jewish Dilemma, in which he argued that Jewish "assimilation" was still the best path for Jews in the world and not the segregation and siege mentality of the Zionist state. In his opinion Zionism itself was simply resigning to the prevailing racial myths about Jews and playing into them. [The Burning Blogger Of Bedlam]

The Domains

The building blocks required to achieve success in a business domain and differentiate the company from its competitors:  Core domains : The interesting problems. These are the in-house activities the company is performing differently from its competitors and from which it gains its competitive advantage.  Generic domains : The solved problems. These are the things all companies are doing in the same way.

Supporting domains: The problems with obvious solutions. These are the activities the company likely has to implement in-house or outsourced, but that do not provide any competitive advantage. Domain experts are subject matter experts who know all the intricacies of the business that we are going to model and implement in code. In other words, domain experts are knowledge authorities in the software’s business domain. T

Meaning

Of all the information that every second flows into our brains from our sensory organs, only a fraction arrives in our consciousness: the ratio of the capacity of perception to the capacity of apperception is at best a million to one. A million times more bits enter our heads than consciousness perceives. Consciousness lags behind what we call reality. It takes half a second to become conscious of something, though that is not how we perceive it. Outside our conscious awareness, an advanced illusion rearranges events in time. Our consciousness lags behind because it has to present us with a picture of the surrounding world that is relevant. But it is precisely a picture of the surrounding world it presents us with, not a picture of all the superb work the brain does. The sequence is: sensation, simulation, experience. But it is not relevant to know about the simulation, so that is left out of our experience, which consists of an edited sensation that we experience as unedited. What we
