#KnowledgeByte: Today is Birth Anniversary of German physician and bacteriologist Robert Koch.

Regarded as the "father of medical #Bacteriology", Koch defined his celebrated criteria (known as Koch's #Postulates) - judging whether a given bacteria is the cause of a given disease.

Why do people like me (us?) put #empiricalEvidence, #criticalThinking, and #logicalReasoning at the heart of our decision making?

Because we know from #experience that it works.

But we still have to 'believe' that past experience is a good predictor of future outcome.

Ultimately, all systems must be based upon one or more #postulates.

I posit three more:

* all people matter to the same order of magnitude as our own people

* the #future matters more than the present

* #kindness
