If you are reading this, it's probably because you've heard me tell you that I'm going to save the world, and that this is my explanation of how. The point is to build a world that works for everyone. That's never been done before.

The thing you should know before getting too involved is that some of this is seriously bullshit, which I've written to try to convince myself that I'm a better (more important) person than I actually am. It's a way of hiding from the things about myself I don't like. Knowing all this doesn't change the fact that I still react very, very poorly to failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

By volume, most of this wiki is organized like a dictionary or encyclopedia, rather than something you sit and read cover to cover. Here are some things that are designed for reading straight through.

Introductory Materials: A page that will change names

• Exercises - Specific things you can do to make progress happen now.
• Coaching: The practice of affecting another's life, such that the degree to which it works, and their satisfaction with it, are increased.
• Life Map

Sandbox - Developing Ideas. This is not a place to play with formatting; for that you want playground.

Active Research

Policies, protocols, principles by which this work really must be conducted.

• Ground Rules
• Constitution - The Core Values, Goals, Purposes, Etc.
  • Integrity
  • Stewardship
  • Community
• Measuring What Matters

The view from 20,000 feet–or 20,000 miles–or 20,000 light years–of how this is to be done.

In between 'Strategy' and 'Tactics', there are plans; they are made of Tactics and fit inside of Strategies. If this is a city, these are the blueprints for rooms and buildings.

• Introduction: A nice way of introducing people to the project.
• Seconds: A crufty, crummy, incomplete conversation with lots of value and lots of problems.
• Life Map: Get real–clear–straight–about what's going on in your life; tell the truth about how satisfactory it is (or isn't).
• Personal Inventory: This page is mostly cruft. It's safe to ignore for right now.

If this is a city, the Tactics are the bricks and mortar; the studs and the drywall. Principles and protocols that can be implemented immediately to produce an immediate result.

• Addiction: Less to do with substances, and more to do with participating in life, rather than avoiding it.
• Agency: Relating to the idea of choice that provides you with the experience of actually choosing, and getting, what you want.
• Black Holes: Thought viruses that seem inescapable. Whether they actually are or not is an area of active research.
• Commitment
• Enlightenments
• Games: Using Transactional Analysis to free yourself from self-defeating patterns.
• Happiness: Being able to change your “default position” from whatever it is to happiness.
• Judgment: Probably the most important contributor to the experience of life, judgment can turn anything into misery.
• Presence: Living “in the moment”; experiencing life as it happens, and being at peace with it.
• Super Powers
• Upset: Resolving when things don't go your way, as quickly and satisfactorily as possible.
• Priorities: Doing the things you always wanted to do; getting procrastination out of your way.
• Stop Kicking Yourself: A remarkably easy way of clearing away the nagging old experiences.
