The ME-TOO challenger politician in the Australian electoral campaign is a clever thinker and is using–t4t–one of the cleverest strategies in the world.

Much of the media commentary seems to be missing the point.

Kevin Rudd of Kevin07 is using the t4t strategy on a daily basis and it’s already casting its irresistable ‘shadow of the future’. His opponent, Prime Minister John Howard, is on the run.

You can see the power of t4t on a daily basis. t4t is tit4tat and also known as ME-TOO. It has already struck fear into the heart of Howard, the incumbent.

Howard is haunted by t4t’s powerful ‘shadow of the future’ and is panicking and complaining to anyone who’ll listen, “Rudd’s using me-too, me-too on me”.

Drawing on the vast amount of work dome by Nobel Laureate scientists on Game Theory, t4t/ME-TOO is considered by many world experts to be the ‘best strategy in the world’.

t4t is an ancient strategy which has been in constant use for thousands of years by those in the know. It has been challenged in modern computerized simulator testing environments by information scientists around the world in rigorous competitions, yet it still reigns supreme.

In the political jungle, me-too practitioners of t4t/ME-TOO have a powerful darwinian unfair advantage known as ‘the shadow of the future’.

t4t is also known as ‘tit4tat‘.

Earthlings are from Earth! And, that’s the truth. But what might happen if foreigners ever arrived from another planet?

Many thinkers have speculated about such things over the years from John the Baptist to HG Wells. Recently, Professor Richard Dawkins gives his version in the first paragraph of his famous book in the 30th Anniversary Edition of The Selfish Gene:

Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its existence. If superior creatures from space ever visit earth, the first question they will ask, in order to assess the level of our civilisation, is: ‘Have they discovered evolution yet?’.

THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: What do YOU think is the first question a visitor to earth might ask?

When I was living in New York I was often asked what I thought was a difference between Australian and American culture. I often cited, as an example, the First Tuesday in November. In America it is Election Day while in Australia it is Cup Day.

The biggest race in Australia is the Melbourne Cup. It is also a public holiday!

For over a hundred years the race has run on the First Tuesday in November. It started off as ‘cupday’ and became a carnival.

Innovation in fashion is also the name of the game. In 1965 the world media saw ‘superfilly Jean Shrimpton’ give birth to the ‘mini-skirt’ at this carnival.

The Australian Sports Commission (Ausport) last week invited Michael to work with representatives of the 30 top sports in Australia–including all football codes, polo, speed skating, basketball and pool sports–to help them think of better ways to develop their sports.

Introducing them to SOTs School of Sports Thinking program these sports managers received new software for their brain and current techniques from cognitive science.

Michael said, “Since the brain is the biggest sports muscle in the human body, acquiring virtuosity in Sports Thinking is an important part of strategic development in any competitive sporting environment–both on and off the field”.

Ausport’s Tom O’Connor described the workshop on Sports Thinking as “fantastic“. He said, “Feedback from the attendees has been overwhelming. cvs2bvs is being raved about everywhere. We are bound to do some follow up work in this area of sports thinking”. Ausport already promotes four main virtues in Australian Sport:
