Hello world!

I’ve been too lazy to register my Institute for Applied Generalization, so let’s make this the first step.

As they say in the smart stakeholder relations world, it is good advice to “say it, do it, write it down”.

This will have to count as “say it” – even though it is written.

So, what will I do on i4ag? Who knows. Setting it up comes with both irony and steely determination. I find that much of the debate in the political world, and among the punditry, has somehow lost touch with common sense.

The Institute for Applied Generalization is dedicated to restoring common sense, but perhaps also to delivering generalizations in a slightly high-minded and pompous way, so that they get taken seriously.

Let’s see how it goes.
