World Hack of the day - Experimentation

A fitting choice for an article on World Hack!  Experimentation should be the first choice when determining how to get something done.  For the interested readers, world domination never works on the first try.  Usually it is like a car stuck in the mud or snow, and you need to rock back and forth a bit to get things to move.  The ultimate experimenter in my opinion is A.J. Jacobs.  His books have inspired me not in world domination terms, but in quite a few other realms.  The first book of his I read chronicled his months-long quest to read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica.  I became interested in finding my own quest that would take months of steady work to accomplish.  A.J. Jacobs newer book involved many self-experiments including outsourcing his entire life, and never telling a lie.  My favorite of all was his experiment to rid his mind of non-rational thought.  I will be using this approach for the time being on this blog.

Bias is everywhere, and if your goal is world domination it sounds like an excellent technique.  So, the essence of this tactic is to recognize biases that are infecting as many people as possible, and using them to further my own ends.  If the experiment works, I will have gained an insight as to how effective a tool bias can be to hack the world.  Using the tools of evil (like bias) against itself is what a world hack should do, and I will keep you up to date on how it works.
