I am studying both disciplines here lately

• NLP ( in this case the MetaModel )
• Business Rules (a way to sort out the "if this, then that" logic that guides actions.)

No relation to each other, I just like them both.

But if I add in a third thing called the Rule of Seven it seems that humans are just not ready to do both rules and NLP in one easy operation. Pick any two

Used to be an NPR junkie until we invaded Iraq.

Now I can't listen and enjoy it because it doesn't even seem like news any more.

blah blew up blah .... this is news ? It's news when that doesn't happen.

Stan Richards wrote a book named "Peaceable Kingdom" in which he described how he built his billion dollar company from scratch on the principle of dis-allowing tribalism. Yup. You read it right. One simple principle, a billion dollar empire. OK well maybe there was more, they are very talented folks.
