Foundations of a Leadership Academy

Originally Written: 06/04/2016 I want to say that like most people, I spent some time thinking about what kind of training or curriculum a person could engage in that would best result in a group of highly competent leaders resistant to the ills that accompany these roles such as corruption and maleficence. Duriang this day I took to writing, I came to the conclusion that in order to get competent leaders, you have to teach them the rulebook while they’re young, and tailor their curriculum based on their age and to expand the range of subjects to include things that are not currently taught in the current American school system. Without further ado, I lay out my idea below. A system of sort needs to have a defined set of core values. They are: ·        Moral fortitude ·        A well-rounded knowledge base in the natural science, social sciences, business, and interpersonal communications ·        Critical thinking ·        Problem solving Since we’ll be choosing children to enter this

The Consumerist Pedagogy Method

  Originally Written: 08/04/2016 This idea is driven by a few influences. First, at the time of this writing, the United States is in all respects a consumerist economy driven by consumer spending. Second, labor and education seem to be at a disconnect. In a labor role, someone either works in an interdisciplinary team or works divided from a part of an overall process. How can education be tweaked to reflect the nature of this reality? First, I propose that we understand that regardless of industry, the labor force can be generalized to extract archetypes of “labor roles” as I have termed them. The labor roles reflect important components necessary for the development of a consumer product and the economy around it. The proposed labor role archetypes are: ·       Theorists ·       Builders-applicators ·       Reviewers Theorist are those typically responsible for developing the ideas or rationale for a new consumer products directly or indirectly. Workers in this type of r

The Pyramid of Happiness

Originally Written: 04/09/2016 Transcribed and edited: 05/24/2020 Most, if not all of us have a stake in understanding happiness. I can say that I only gave it some thought as I was navigating my time in undergrad. This idea is actually one of the earliest journal entries I made to myself. I was going through a bit of moment because I failed to meet a series of goals I wanted to accomplish as I was leaving my university. Such as it was, I can say I was not exactly in a happy state of mind around the time this entry came into existence. Without further ado, I will introduce my concept of where happiness lies for people. Visual Summary and Introduction A series of assumptions are made in the formulation of this idea that you should be aware of. First, in this view, happiness has a hierarchical order to the various types of happiness determined by their strength and their relative difficulty to achieve. Someone can find themselves at different stages of happiness at any time during their

Welcome + First Post

  Hello, welcome to this blog! I'm glad that you clicked the link! So, you may by wondering what you've come across on this small corner of the internet. You’ve come across a repository of the thoughts of Hadrian Archo. Who is Hadrian Archo? Hadrian Archo is the pen name and alter ego of a biomedical researcher in the United States. This biomedical researcher is an oddball in his field by most accounts, he came from humble origins of Spanish speaking parents and worked in construction for his dad when he was growing up. He later attended a top 25 university in the US after working his way through community college as a pizza boy and security guard, and now works at a prestigious research institution. Unlike many biomedical scientists, he pursued biomedical research by following his nose rather than following his heart, but that’s not the only thing that makes him stick out in a lab setting. What most people will say about the man behind Hadrian Archo is his willingness
