WHAT IS A “TRUETHINKER”?

This AHA!Institute blog is intended as a locus for the CoCreative [open individual or collective creative participation] (R)Evolution [Relational Revolution in the Evolution] of the Whole of Human Experience by CoCreating Possible Universal Relational Futures Stressing TRUTH and RELEVANCE with GOODNESS, i.e. the TRUETHINKING of EveryOne.

FREETHINKING:

THE PRIOR CONDITION FOR

TRUETHINKING

Referring to a prior post in this blog re: “MINDing Politics”, November 10, 2008,

http://relatedone.blogspot.com/2008/11/minding-ones-self-through-technology-of.html

the following concern was expressed:

THE EVOLUTION/ARCHITECTING OF SOCIETIES GLOBALLY IS MOVING ON A PREDICTED COURSE TO A POINT OF CATASTROPHIC CHANGE AS WE NEAR 2013 WHEREAT THE INHERENT INSTABILITY OF THE CENTRALIZED CONTROL OF A COLLECTIVE AS THE FORM OF ORGANIZATION WILL BE COMMONLY RECOGNIZED AS DESTRUCTIVE OF INDIVIDUAL AUTONOMY AND DELIMITING OF PERSONAL INQUIRY AND CREATIVITY.

The admonition was Do Not Block The Way Of Inquiry! The first argument is that to be or become a TrueThinker, one must first ascertain that they are a FREETHINKER. The second argument implied herein is that this latter choice is again, in the cycles of history, resisted by the Benevolent Authority form of Centralized Control of the Collective State Bureaucracy. The following is suggested for individual scrutiny as to evidence for the concern.

THERE IS NO TIME BETTER THAN THE PRESENT TO REASSESS THE EFFICACY OF OUR TRUETHINKING
The Current Circumstance
With the November 4th close of yet another season of the Establishment’s National Theater production of the ongoing drama, Bureaucracy Unlimited, the citizen ticket-holders (tax-payers) have again by indirect vote (s)elected from the producer’s cast the winning team of Head Bureaucrats to Shepherd the Bureaucracy for the next four years. Of special note of the critics of this production is the smoothness (a Trillion here, a Trillion there – maybe no one will notice) of the Producer’s (Establishment’s) introduction of its crisis-creation/management “tool set” as the core “scene” of a strategic/tactical scheme through which their Capital Auditors/Controllers (Formally Rated (FR) on a scale of a to f (best to worst) by the critics as bFR re: financial capital and cFR re: human capital) have induced the citizens to undertake a credit underwriting obligating them for the indeterminate future to fund the expansion of Bureaucracy Unlimited Globally by consummating Producer control of a One Resource Bank for the World from and through which all such capital would flow. Since this production runs through December, 2012, the focus now needs to turn to re-scripting for 2013 and thereafter.

TRUTH and RELEVANCE with GOODNESS
Recognize first that each of these concepts exists only in a TriRelational sign form where the concept signifies an experience to a particular thinker. Hence truth to a given thinker signifies a realization of consistency between an expectation and the actual in an experience. The relevance of the experience to that thinker is a measure of the degree to which it does or can effect personal change. And finally, the goodness of the experience to that thinker is a measure of the value of that change personally, but also concomitantly to the collective other.

WE INVITE AND LOOK FORWARD TO COMMENTS ON

YOUR PERSONAL REFLECTIONS ON TRUETHINKING.

RE-CREATING SOCIETY: The Rural Perspective {Re:SYN7-RuralTransformations 1(RT1)}

RURAL TRANSFORMATIONS


THE INITIATION OF THESE POSTS ON RURAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN RE-CREATING SOCIETY IS FOCUSED ON MODELING DEVELOPMENTS BEGINNING IN SOUTH DAKOTA SIMPLY BECAUSE THE AUTHOR HEREOF IS A NATIVE OF RURAL (NEAR) LANE, SOUTH DAKOTA, HIGHWAY 34.


A PEER COLLABORATIVE TO GENERATE A DEFINITIVE GUIDE FOR
RE--FORMING GLOBAL SOCIETY WITH AN INITIAL FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE


AgReCulturing the WORLD

This continuing post, which will always begin with the identifier {Re:SYN7- with sub-identifiers (RT) for Rural Transformations and (UT) for Urban Transformations, this latter including Suburban, Town and Village}, will be the only entry point inviting open participation in the evolving Community of Relational Thoreauian-inspired, Free-thinking, Libertarian, Societal Re-Creating, Humanistic Activists focused on Synthesizing Society. To participate, begin by Adopting-a-Gnome as per the procedure laid out in the post herein titled, Adopt-a-Gnome. Read the section entitled “What is the Adopt-a-Gnome Program” and then follow the directions under “How does one Adopt-a-Gnome?” As a TrueThinker, having subscribed through www.AHAInstitute.TrueThinker.com, one immediately becomes a participating Relational Activist simply by way of the incorporation of their personal MindClone (MyKnowledgeBank) in the AHA! Institute-SYNSoc Community Knowledge Bank; this latter serves as a resource knowledge-base for these Societal Transformations. More specifically, however, each open-entry participant is free to engage actively in Re-Creating Society at whatever level of Pragmatic Knowledge Value they competently offer as assessed by the AHA! Community–Builder(s).


WHY THE RURAL FOCUS? [Data from a report on the 2006 World Water Forum]

Farmers are central to the Global environmental crises. Why?


  • 2.5 billion people, roughly 40% of the World’s population, live off the land

  • Most live on 525 million small farms of 5 acres or less

  • These farmers suffer most from poverty, disease, lack of sanitation and clean water, and lack of educational access

  • This accounts for 842 million of the World’s hungry, starving or undereducated

  • These farms account for 70% of the World’s water consumption and most of its waste, although these farmers live on less than 2.5 gallons of water per day – one thirtieth of the daily usage in developed nations

Perhaps even more critically detrimental to the Earth’s health is the Western practice of monoculture agriculture. The result is a catastrophe happening.

RURAL TRANSFORMATIONS (to be initiated through several inter-related blogs such as the TrueFarmer.com blog suggested below, BUT WITH AN EXPECTED FOCUS TO BE ON FEATURING THE RURAL LEARNING CENTER OF HOWARD, SOUTH DAKOTA)
The purpose for these blogs is that they might serve as the unifying platform for creating/organizing the virtual collaborative and integrated learning (knowledge development and diffusion) environment to help rural communities achieve viable and vital futures.
