The most thought-provoking theory by Donald Rumsfeld

-



According to Donald Rumsfeld there are four situations which can explain our response or reflex to a situation, namely


1) Known-Known

2) Known-Unknown

3) Unknown-Known

4) Unknown-Known


(At first glance all of them seem nonsensical, but let me explain further :D)


Known-Known


You know the fact that you know. You are able to produce the same results over and over again.


Known-Unknown 


You know the fact that you don't know or don't understand. You jump from one field to a completely different field and your mind is just....BLANK...


Unknown-Known


You yourself are not aware of the fact that you know. Maybe this makes you surprise yourself now and then, but be careful to outsiders you might seem like a person connected to the supernatural... 


Unknown-Unknown


This is the most weirdest thing of all, you are not aware of the fact that you do not know! 

Example- (Uhh I can't think of any, can you ? ЁЯШРЁЯШР)


Next post, I will try my best and come up with one of my favorite psychological phenomenon- Deja Vu!


(I have witnessed Deja Vu phenomenon several times and one of the weirdest is, I get the feel that I have already known a recent friendly correspondent of mine for several years when I know about them only recently! Perhaps, who knows, I might have known them for a long time but I just didn't realize (Known-Unknown: I know but I don't know :D)


Comment on how nonsensical or interesting this article was and share your story if you have ever heard about Rumsfeld's Theory)

  TIGER PARENTING   The birth of a child is also the birth of the parents. The bond they share is special; however, different methods of parenting can affect it to a great extent. Some parents choose a strict method of upbringing, while some are patient and lenient.   There was a boy. He was very naughty. He refused to listen to his parents, always got scolded by his teacher and physically abused his friends. His parents got very worried and went to a child psychiatrist who had asked them, “What do you do when he is refusing to listen to you?” His parents had replied, “We plead him to stop as we don’t want to raise our voice to him.” The doctor immediately said, “That’s what the problem is. Next time he refuses to listen to you, raise your voice. That’s all.” His parents agreed and over a course of a month, the same boy began scoring high and getting good remarks from his teacher. “   This is the magic of TIGER PARENTING. It can change the child’s life. When the parents raise
