Here we are again, friends, the end of one day and the beginning of another in blog land and in real land as well and I am adding this as “Add Post Title (101).
Have had some concerns today about my affliction but when the dice are rolled, it all seems to be relatively normal for the shape that I am in so I am accepting of it —- I have no alternative but to be accepting of it. —- I know of people who are in a lot worse shape than I am and so i am grateful for the shape that I am in.
Jimmy made chicken and dumplings for dinner today. —- Jimmy is a well-experienced old appalachian-style cook who performs magic with a skilled and a stove or a pot and an oven.
I can almost see the invisible algorhythm bastards scratching their neuronic heads trying to figure out what to do with posts like this one …… the key words suck….. the content sucks —- but buried deep within all the eccentricity, there are usually magnificent gems of worthy knowledge that can significantly enrich the lives of all who come across them and who are smart enough to understand what i talk about. Just what I need for a post entitled “Add Post Title (101.”
So that is about enough about my version of pussilanamous neuronisis and so we shall climb the golden stairway of possibilities and search the vast heavens of potential in other and unique ways — sometimes more morphological analytic ways and sometimes in more surrealistic ways —– Lord, How I love Salvadore Dali!
The persistence of memory is a favorite painting by Dali and it always sends me off into some netherland of experimental curiosities and outlandish encounters and I do frequent it often because I believe it strengthens my grasp of the great Akashic principles by which my own version of the Third Eye seems to operate.
Thinking Like Dalí: Making Morphological Analysis Tangible
Salvador Dalí is often remembered for his melting clocks and bizarre landscapes, but his true genius was in how he reshaped thought itself. He had a talent for dismantling familiar ideas and then reassembling them in ways that were startling yet coherent. Imagine applying that mindset—not to painting, but to understanding and structuring ideas through morphological analysis. He probably never knew anything about “Add Post Title (101” because he had plenty of strange titles of his own.
Morphological analysis is a tool for dissecting concepts into their basic parts, exploring variations, and recombining them to reveal new possibilities. It might sound technical or dry, but with a Dalí-inspired lens, it becomes a method of playful discovery that produces practical, graspable results.
Step One: Break Your Mental Habits
Dalí started by ignoring conventional boundaries. To apply this in analysis, temporarily forget standard categories and assumptions. Look at your topic as if none of the familiar rules exist. By suspending expectation, you allow space for unusual, potentially fruitful connections to surface.
Step Two: Stretch and Shift the Elements
Once assumptions are loosened, treat every component as flexible. In typical morphological analysis, variables are combined systematically. Dalí’s influence suggests that we should imagine these variables bending, merging, and flowing in unconventional ways. For instance, when analyzing a system, consider how time, audience, methods, and goals could interact dynamically, rather than statically.
Step Three: Make the Abstract Visible
Dalí often painted intangible ideas. In analysis, create diagrams, sketches, or flow visuals. Translating abstract concepts into visual forms makes complex relationships easier for anyone to comprehend. Sometimes, unexpected alignments in a diagram spark insights that purely textual thinking would miss. There is nothing more abstract in my book than “Add Post Title (101)!
Step Four: Extract Practical Insights
Not every imaginative combination is useful. The goal is to separate ideas that are actionable from those that are purely fanciful. Ask yourself: which combinations could actually work in real-life scenarios, be implemented, or be tested? This step ensures your creative exploration leads to tangible solutions.
Step Five: Communicate Clearly
The final stage is to share insights in a way others can use. Frame ideas with simple explanations, examples, or analogies. Translating your creative thought into understandable language allows others to grasp and apply the concepts, extending the impact of your analysis.
Conclusion: Playful, Yet Functional Thinking
By combining Dalí’s fluid, imaginative style with the structured rigor of morphological analysis, you can create a thinking process that generates ideas both original and usable. This approach encourages innovation while remaining grounded enough for practical application, showing that even the wildest mental explorations can be converted into concepts that benefit yourself and others. This is the process by which I came to use “Add Post Title (101) in the first place and seems to have worked well.
Interesting that you are getting into Dali. Chicken and dumplings sounds good, one day last week we had Ox Cheeks with dumplings. Great food for cold weather.
Best wishes, Pete.

I have been “Into” Dali since I was 22 years old ….and into T-Lobsang Rampa’s “Third Eye” and a lot of other things that younger people sometimes get into. I guess I was a psuedo Hippie.
