Raz0rClean
Half-Bloomed Lotus
I couldn't decide whether this belonged in this topic, or in the "scientific" topic. It is kind of like a shortened version of the scientific theory, so it could have fit in the other topic. But since it is my own changed and used creation, I will put it here. If it needs to be moved/deleted, I apologize. Also, you can find this method in my introduction post. It's a big enough part of the way I do things that I thought it belonged there.
I never thought of throwing a name on this until I was making a post about it. It is basically a very shortened version of the scientific method, but it is also very different. It is a way to approach any kind of situation, no matter what. It's not perfect, but it has ALWAYS worked for me. I hope it can do the same for you. After listing the steps and what they mean, I'll put an example (from just a few weeks ago) that is off-the-wall. This will be just to show you how many kinds of situations this can be used in. Also, if you have your own set way of approaching situations, please tell me! I love learning new ways, and possibly incorporating my way with someone elses. I named it the Raz0r Method just a few moments ago when I made my introductory post, but you're more than welcome to call it whatever you like
Here are the steps to take when using the Raz0r Method in any situation:
1) Identify the -subject-. (normally -subject- would be problem. But this method has helped me when there wasn't a problem at hand, such as a calm discussion. So thus I say subject instead of problem. Use it in any way you can think of to see how it works for you.)
2) Approach and -analyze- the -subject- from all possible angles/perspectives. (((-analyze is used loosely. -see- was used in it's place in my introductory post.)) This is the hard part. Some people are set in their ways and can't see many other perspectives. Even if you're good at it, you're bound to miss some perspectives every now and then. I know there's no way to see it from every perspective sometimes, and nobody is perfect. So just check it out in as many angles/perspectives as is possible for you. Its the best you can do.)
3) List as many possible -answers- to the -subject- as you can. (Sometimes you can only think of a few, sometimes you can think of tons. The words -answer- and -subject- are again used loosely, as it can be a problem, discussion, anything pretty much. So in different situations you would not have an answer, but an open opinion, or anything. This can be used to fix an oven or any object, or also in conversation... its pretty good way to approach any kind of situation. Nobody can list all of the possible - answers- , so just as many as you can think of. Again, no one is perfect (or if you rather, everyone is perfect in their own way, but no one is the same).
4) Narrow the list of -answers- to what you think is the best -answer-. (again, no one is "perfect" or no one is the same, so what you think is the best answer may not be, but usually once you think about it, it's an excellent answer. If it's wrong, you can go back to step three, pick a new answer, and if you still cannot get the right -answer-, you're at least guaranteed to learn something from the experience. Learning should always be the goal, but of course if it's something you need the -answer- to, is always nice to find that you were correct
)
---This is what I use. It works for me, and it has worked for a few of the people who have asked me how I am good at debating and such, and they all thank me for it. If you have your own way to approach -subjects- I would be VERY interested in hearing it. This is just a good, open, all-around method that I use, and it has served me well. I hope it will do the same for you.---

Please tell me what you think of this. I appreciate all comments, good/bad , appeasing/degrading. All I can do is learn. Feel free to be completely truthful with me. I do not get upset about opinions, whatsoever, unless someone refuses to see something from ANY other perspective than their own, and think that that are ALWAYS right. I've only ran into one or two people like this in my life, and generally I will just avoid them. They have no wish to learn, and I can learn very little from them. With that said, I appreciate all comments and everything will get responded to in a decently timely matter. May you all find peace within yourselves!
