Vision:
A world community where every individual can pursue their personal
Dreams, Satisfactions and Fulfillment by helping others to do the same.
This requires that we make, in the coming century, the same progress
in personal growth, as was made in the last century in Aviation, computers, cell phones
and other so-called hard sciences.
Current Reality:
A world in which:
- A few people are satisfied and fulfilled, pursuing their dreams.
- Many people are frustrated, and act out their frustrations, harming
themselves and/or others.
- We lack a precise technology for resolving personal frustrations.
- Violence is the preferred solution to many problems.
- Personal violence will be eliminated only when there are no longer any individuals who choose to use violence to solve their problems.
- Given current trends, it will increase in both quantity and destructiveness.
- Winners take all; and force losers to lose all!
- There IS enough material wealth to go around; but IT ISN'T going around!
- We have conquered much of the physical world, but little of
our personal spiritual, mental, emotional, and relationship worlds.
Mission:
To make the Models, Disciplines, Techniques, Tools and other resources to create this vision accessible to everyone.
This includes, at least:
-
A Model of Personal satisfaction and fulfillment -
which includes, pursuing a personally meaningful dream, the whole person and ones relationships to others.
- A
New Research Paradigm
- which enables us to study and understand individuals and
their many systemic inter-relationships.
- New Techniques
and Tools
- which help integrate theoretical thinking with practical applications.
- New
Measurement Scales
- to more accurately measure individual, personal knowledge and to
better share meaning between diverse individuals and groups.
Note: The term 'New' is only used because these items are new to education and psychology (education for living). They are actually old, tried and true techniques that have proven successful in aviation and many other so-called hard sciences.
Core Values:
- Respect for every individual's uniqueness.
Strategic Principles:
- The critical role of unique contributions to community, in
personal fulfillment.
- The importance of continuous incremental improvement in both Personal and Shared
Knowledge.
- The importance of precise measurements and communications.
Strategic Practices:
- Transfer the paradigms, models, techniques and tools from the highly successful aerospace industry to the humanities.
- Use the NTSB (National Transportation & Safety Board) model of multi-disciplinary precise investigation into the causes of accidents and near misses to human issues, especially suicides, and mass murders.
- Use the model of chemical and nuclear disaster warning to detect the early warning signs of potential human violence.
Towards a solution:
Combining my philosophical and engineering interests and experiences, I decided to
examine the assumptions, beliefs, and especially the 'thinking tools'
and processes that people were using for their research into
people - make that individual personal behavior.
Then compare them to the assumptions, and beliefs, and the 'thinking tools'
and processes that people are using for aerospace.
Finally, where possible, transfer the paradigms, and thought processes, techniques,
and even the many tools of aerospace, industry and other domains to the art of learning how to live well!
Primary concepts:
- The shift from group thinking to Individual thinking is discussed at:
Worldviews.
- Moving from the correlation of statistics, to the Causality of Individual behaviors, is discussed at: Causality.
- Since the presence of individual causes in our real experiential world, is never a black or white, all or nothing affair, but happens in degrees, I discuss these at:
Dynamic Thresholds.
- Separating Meanings from words is covered at:
Sharing.
What will it take to change the world?
Millions of individuals:
- Creating their own personal satisfaction and fulfillment, by defining and pursuing, passionately, personally meaningful goals.
Caring for each other in a balanced and effective way, which is helping other individuals to create personal satisfaction and fulfillment, by defining and pursuing, passionately, their personally meaningful roles!
