What I call a 'process person' is one who is comfortable thinking in
terms of stepwise chronologically sequential mechanism. A is a
necessary preconditon of B, which can be made to cause C, all of which
is an efficient path to bring about D. a 'non-process person' is one
whose mind doesn't think that way. Lacking (pick any N) aptitude,
attitude, and/or patience to deal in mechanism, they go around talking
about how wonderful D would be and how something-never-mind-what-and-how
should make D happen.
Process thinkers should be kind to the other folks and say 'You may be
right. D might be lovely, and I do hope you get what you want.'
Non-process thinkers should be understanding of the other folks (the
ones who actually _do_ things) and realise that sometimes they just
aren't going to do D because they'd rather do something else, and stop
getting upset over this.
I do hope you get what you want.
Aha... An old gypsy curse. In this case appropriate because non-process
thinkers usually don't really know what they want.
Process vs. non-process - hierarchal vs. equal - We also have sane vs.
insane. I see a lot strife being cause by the mentally ill. I must
remind myself that I am the person easiest for me to lie to.
