2024sep27 Popular science (also called pop-science or popsci) is an interpretation of science intended for a general audience. While science journalism focuses on recent scientific developments, popular science is more broad ranging. It may be written by professional science journalists or by scientists themselves. It is presented in many forms, including books, film and television documentaries, magazine articles, and web pages. Popular science is a bridge between scientific literature as a professional medium of scientific research, and the realms of popular political and cultural discourse. The goal of the genre is often to capture the methods and accuracy of science while making the language more accessible. Many science-related controversies are discussed in popular science books and publications, such as the long-running debates over biological determinism and the biological components of intelligence, stirred by popular books such as The Mismeasure of Man and The Bell Curve.[11] The purpose of scientific literature is to inform and persuade peers regarding the validity of observations and conclusions and the forensic efficacy of methods. Popular science attempts to inform and convince scientific outsiders (sometimes along with scientists in other fields) of the significance of data and conclusions and to celebrate the results. Statements in the scientific literature are often qualified and tentative, emphasizing that new observations and results are consistent with and similar to established knowledge wherein qualified scientists are assumed to recognize the relevance. By contrast, popular science emphasizes uniqueness and generality, taking a tone of factual authority absent from the scientific literature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_science
Is Harv a scientist? A: “No!, he is not.” May he write pop science? A: “Perhaps, but very unlikely.” Thus he has wandered unto Blogger. Success on Blogger as a scientist? A: “Most likely not, because Blogger is clicks and monetization oriented, rather than peer oriented.” However, Blogger offers publication exposure, something that Harv uses as a writer would use an interested editor, something like shaping up his writing in fear of public embarrassment or even ridicule. It all boils down to interest ! Harv is interested in Functional Organization, thus he pursues the topic as scientific study. His interest includes writing about Functional Organization. However, publication is not easy! Thus he uses Blogger without interest in who follows his blog — perhaps that will change in year 2025.

In Harv’s study of Functional Organization he came upon pop science.
He was familiar with Maslow and Alderfer from psychology and the ‘science’ of ERG — is it science ? Perhaps ERG is pop psychology ? No matter — ERG represents a ‘scientific’ expression of universal basic human needs and by logical extension, universal basic human individual fulfillment to include the idea of oft-ill-defined individual happiness.

2024sep27 NASA’s Orion space capsule… She and two of the four total Artemis II crew members were available on a recent late-August day to show NPR how they're preparing for their mission around the moon and back, which will be the first human flight to Earth's satellite in more than half a century. “When we leave planet Earth we’re zero miles an hour and when we hit low-Earth orbit we're doing 17,000 miles an hour. And then when we come back into the atmosphere we’re doing 39 times the speed of sound, 25,000 miles per hour.” Wiseman says. “Crazy numbers." And the high stakes and limited room for error is exactly why preparation on the ground is so essential. Part of the preparation of going to do something like this is understanding that there's a … very real chance you don't come back,” says mission specialist Jeremy Hansen. “We're trying to understand the risks that we're taking and make an intentional decision to accept that risk or not accept that risk. And I feel really good about this program and the leadership and their courage to make hard decisions.” https://www.npr.org/2024/09/27/nx-s1-5100867/nasa-moon-space-artemis-2-mission Harv began conscious life.time preparation in the 1970s with pop psychologist Alan Lakein subconsciously combined with Harv’s interest in college-entry creativity and his scientific BSME. The earth itself with Harv stuck to it, is a satellite orbiting at high speed in a solar system that is traveling in you galaxy, which in turn is going somewhere, propelled by the Big Bang — which is smaller that or our ego? From our brain’s perspective, the brain is essence — it is the central point of everything around it.
