I'm going to try this as I'm now in a rut with what I want to do with myself. Especially since I'm a SAHM now and wondering what I'm going to do when tehy go to school fulltime. Blessings :) Interesting… I’m going to try this as I’m now in a rut with what I want to do with myself.

Then I realize some of those circles I don't even like. I don't know what I like is the problem. The problem is when I start mapping things out that I like to do I get so many circles I lose track.

And... I actually pulled up Occam's and explained your Venn to one of my co-workers yesterday. When I pointed to the center, I said, "That's where you want to be... that's where we need to focus our attention." Totally COOL! You left out Maven... You, my friend are a Maven. And pithy too. I’m in the same place!

Without going into great detail, there are 256 ways one can construct a simple syllogism. The Venn is a useful tool for mapping the space to determine how many of those are structurally valid for use in an argument. Formal logic (including Copi notation) are required for those wishing to advance in Shen Lung Kung Fu, and as both a student and an instructor I got to draw *many* intersecting circles. Shen Lung includes some beautiful philosophy that has very practical application. I guess it was beautiful enough and elegant enough as a tool that I couldn't resist using it in presentations.

Just brilliant, though! The question I had for you was, where did you *originally* notice this...or is this Venn diagramming style (as per your idiosyncratic case) your very own formulation? Signed, ADM Ike,
