The Stages of Development

I think I have to be more specific about what I am trying to do. This is going to be in three overt stages but there are going to be, as always, smaller ones along the way. I will address the first one here.

1) I want to start an evolving article focusing on those people/organizations that are helping to change the old value system that all of our modern incarnations are laid upon. I know they probably wouldn't phrase it like that but again this goes back to my mission trying to change the fundemental value system (see previous entries for more background infor) via technology of, well, the World.

All material manifestations are evolving constantly, changing, however, Print makes us believe that they are stagnant, ideas, because of its medium. Our Social Media platforms have removed this barrier and there is a shifting ecological shift in mind set that is going on. If there are articles with forums below for the community to discuss and support the idea/movement that is being highlighted (a highly partisan vehical: I believe partisanship is not bad, as we have been led to believe, that partisanship even in Media is not bad, as long as we are partisan for the correct things. A partisanship, like the Dalai Lama for example, toward a selfless ideal. I believe if you started a place where such ideals were fostered it would push the forums etc. in this direction with little effort. The Human Mind is infinitly creative, but its creativity also has its roots in its value system, if we focus it on a positive value it will create in this light.)

Every point, every idea, every critique will be focused on making the idea better, making the connections more fluid, just as we have done in our old paradigm with such ideas as Profit being the goal (selfish). SIDENOTE***This was sprouted from the study I have done on Grades with are ubiquitous to those of us who have tramped through school. However, grades would have been confusing to Thomas Jefferson because it is trying to remove something from a continuum. A C essay is just saying that currently that student does not have the skills necessary and with proper training, teaching, guidance, that paper will become and A. All things should be such, to take them out of that continuum of trial and error is a false rendering of the process. it is a process. With this in mind we focus on Ideas never as fixed conclusions but as processes that we all can have a hand in strengthening, expanding, shrinking, in our various expertise.END OF SIDE NOTE*****

These articles will be under heading e.g. "Hunger" then sub headings, "International", "Local" etc. This is for two reasongs:

a) So that the particular groups that are addressing certain issues e.g. Hunger, International, can see the groups that are also addressing these issues. They can access the forums and ideas, they can see what the other groups are doing-they can collarborate and have a larger impact on their particular fields.

b) for the individual who has an idea for example, how to end hunger in North Seattle, they can find someone who has done it, and the articles will be written in a manner with this in mind: for it to be a blueprint rather than a form of entertainment of trvial knowlege. It is a working article in the process of evolution (as all things are). ***SIDE NOTE the reasoning behind this is the belief that when given the opportunity with systems in place for both avenues to be realized that are viable and accessible, humans will in large numbers (I want to say ALL) will choose the benevolent aspects of their nature. I do not believe that we are innately evil or selfish, in fact, many of the recent studies of pre-agricultural cultures shows an amazing bend toward selflessness. This is not to say we are not selfish, no, nor totally selfless, but I believe even if the selfless side is small, it is small like a door stop with the ability of holding a large door open if it we are aware and vigilant. With systems in place to support this part of our nature there will be enough (maybe all?) that will strive toward attempting/doing this. Thus, they will hold open doors for the rest. ****END OF SIDE NOTE.

What I hope will happen is that the articles will start to be written by other people with the same value set. That they will be critiqued before going up by a selfless value orientated Public, then, when they go up they will be used by those who would follow these footsteps and make their own manifestation of it. To be used by those that are doing similar works to see that they are not alone, to see opportunities for collarboration, to use the forums as places to glean ideas from, to hone the current ideas, or to debate and defend their current policy all in the vien of making it better at their end goal e.g. ending hunger.


I was hesitant to go in such detail because I thought, "they'll steal my idea!" but then I thought, thats the point. If they do it better, so be it. I am trying not to think in the old paradigm. The old paradigm infects (as does all mediums) everything, much like Mcluhan said about the car: it affected advertisement to be able to be written as a car passes, it created gas stations, it shrunk distances etc. I wonder what will happen as a holistic change when we change this underlying value system. It may not look to terribly different but it will feel different. I know that.

I imagine looking out at the city and knowing that there is a place for me to realize any idea that I have. That when I think..." I want to help" and the only hinderance between me and the realization is the strength of my idea not the Network that I have, who I know, etc.

It will be beautiful.

Be well my friends
