Scaffolding: A New Tharp Think Concept By, Van K. Tharp, Ph.D.

A note to readers: While Dr. Tharp’s content is timeless, this article is from our newsletter archive and may contain outdated information, missing links or images. One of my Super Traders is almost finished with the program and just submitted his three trading systems for approval.

Have you ever wondered why science continues to evolve, developing more complex models, explaining more, and allowing us to create more while humanity stagnates and continues to be in conflict — often approaching war? All you have to do is look at American politics (or at politics of any other nation for that matter) to see the idea in action. Alfred Korzybski left Europe during
