TIT Philosophy

Most of our mistakes can be attributed to the incompetence of others.  The handful that can't should be considered anomalous.  We are proud of the fact that we never make the same mistake more than three times.  This is the result of utilizing our Think It Through (TIT) philosophy to keep our operations running at peak efficiency.  The philosophy is self-correcting, so too many mistakes by any one individual or group will cause the offenders to be removed from the system.  TIT philosophy has reduced shop injuries by 81% since its initial adoption.  It has also reduced our workforce by 38% during the same period.


It took a lot of trial and error to develop the TIT philosophy into a workable solution for AcMo’s operations.  It is a complicated process that you wouldn’t understand, but I can share the basics of the program.  The first step is to envision the desired outcome and then work backward to determine the appropriate course of action.  These mental simulations have assisted us in avoiding a number of difficult situations.  The situations in isolation may not have been considered too difficult, but figuring out a plausible explanation for AcMo’s level of culpability would have been.

Barely surviving the cactus incident should have taught this cat everything it needed to know about problem solving.  Instead of learning like a rational cat, it doubled down on the stupidity and raised the stakes.



Eagles are not known for playing nice, and this encounter was no exception.  It turned out to be the ninth and final life for the cactus survivor.  That is a classic example of TIT philosophy self-correcting the system.  High stakes high beam combat should always be left to the professionals who have flight capabilities.  This is just common sense.

And just like that the band lost its cymbal player to a sour note.
We like to test with animals because their propensity to act stupid is usually less catastrophic than ours.  It can be absolutely fatal to the test subject of course, but it is unlikely to cause the decimation of an entire civilization or subdivision.

It took us years to perfect our philosophy and get it to the point at which we felt comfortable sharing it with the general public.  The next time you are about to do something stupid, remember the TIT philosophy before you act.  It just might save your life.
