Barclay &amp; I started off building <a href="http://snow.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page">SnoWiki, the official ski &amp; snowboard wiki.</a>  We also built bookmark wikis, trend analysis wikis, symbol/ shape wikis, company planning wikis, pollution wikis, and many others.  SnoWiki caught the eye of Wikia, they contacted me, and I decided to partner with them on the project.  This is why it is now hosted on their server.  Around this time they also asked me if I would be interested in working for them.  I said no.  Although they were &amp; still are the kings of information, I know logically that we cannot allow a monopoly on information.  This is why i turned down the job.  I didn't want to empower them while hindering alternatives.  I would rather empower independent self-sustaining communities that can be used to keep each other in-check &amp; aligned with reality.</p> <p>So, President Wikis was formed after Barclay informed me about Ron Paul.  I was not political before since I believed since I was a kid that the government was fair, just &amp; aligned with constitutional principles (as they taught us in grade "school").  I knew right away that I had to learn more, and educate those around me.  The facts were all out there, but they just hadn't been presented in the proper manner yet.  Information should be vetted, well sourced, and inter-linked with related content.  I knew that the wiki would be the future of keeping governments in-check.  It just had to be.  There was (&amp; currently is) no better way to compile information for long-term dissemination and propagation. </p> <p>Luckily I had just got into the hobby of domaining, buying &amp; selling domain names.  Kyle T., Barclay and I were discussing the idea of an interactive media company, so I purchased myself a few domain names related to that hobby (or potential business).  As the wiki idea became more popular, I knew i had to start buying up wiki &amp; encyclopedia related domain names.  Feeling an obligation to help keep America free, I went on to spend a large sum of my money of President Wiki, Constitution Wiki, &amp; presidential candidate related domain names.  To my surprise nobody else had purchased them!  So I went on monopolizing them.  The only one I didn't get was BarackObamaWiki.com, but luckily I got that over the past year!  I now own all the .com &amp; .org domain names for recent &amp; current presidential candidates!  It feels sort of like a monopoly game, but instead of holding pointless cards, I am holding onto some of the most powerful words in the english language.  .Com will always be king in the search engines, and if you own the keyword domain names in a .com domain, you will show up #1 in google for said keywords.  This is very powerful.  Especially when all grade school &amp; college students use wikipedia for the majority of their research.  Although they shouldn't, they do anyways.  These students are not typing "wikipedia" into google, but rather they are typing "wiki" with whatever keyword page they want to see.  For example "Wiki Obama" or "Barack Obama Wiki."  My domain names have the power to over-power Wikipedia in the search engine for these search terms, and they did just that in 2008.</p> <p>You may be asking yourself, ""why haven't you continued to push this project non-stop since 2008?"  To which I would respond that I have been bust trying to get my life in order.  As a young entrepreneur whom just graduated college in 2008, I have had a lot to deal with.  Lucklily my hard work has started to pay off though and my web design business is truly taking off!  The original President Wikis websites were built using mediawiki, since this was the preferred wiki platform at the time.  SInce then I have gotten into <a href="http://www.timelessdomain.com/drupal">Drupal</a>.  Drupal is the best!  It has by far the most features of any open source CMS.  Drupal 6 presented a few problems for multi-site, and Drupal 7 was not released until this year.  Drupal 7 is finally developed enough that I now feel comfortable re-launching President Wikis with it.  This is coming asap.  This is why I am headed down to Arlington, Virginia right now.  The Sunlight Foundation should eat this idea up since it embodies their mission statement.  I plan on transferring them either the .com or .org President Wiki related domain names, while I hold onto the others.  I was this idea to spread quickly, so combining my resources with theirs will make for the ideal launch.  By splitting the domain names between us, we can ensure checks &amp; balances on the transparency system.  If they ever censor info, I will split the project off onto my own 1/2 of the domains.  Then there will just be 2 competing databases on the candidates for the worlds most powerful position!  I don't think that it will come to this though, as the Sunlight Foundation seems to have a good track record.  I know that I am putting myself and potentially my life out on the line to establish this open government system, but I don't care.  I know that it is worth it to help spread the freedom that has made this world so great.  We must not lose sight of our dreams and the United States should be the beacon guiding all of us on our way.   To ensure that this happens, we must ensure a fully transparent leadership.</p> <p> </p> <p>Right now I am about 2 hours away from arriving at the camp.  I figured that I would write this post to commemorate the event prior to its occurrence.  The future looks bright, but it looks even brighter through a transparent lens!</p> </div></div></div><div class="view view-taxonomy-term view-id-taxonomy_term view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-1"> Links <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-entity-id ccklinks"> <div class="field-content"><div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first last"><div class="link-item ccklink"><div class="link-title">http://www.presidentwikis.com</div><div class="link-url"><a href="http://www.presidentwikis.com">http://www.presidentwikis.com</a></div></div></li> </ul></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-links field-type-link-field field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Links:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd"><div class="link-item ccklink"><div class="link-title">http://www.presidentwikis.com</div><div class="link-url"><a href="http://www.presidentwikis.com">http://www.presidentwikis.com</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-title field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd">President Wikis - Round #2 - Partnering With Another Organization For A Quicker Launch</div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="addtoany first"><span> <a class="da2a_button" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save" id="da2a_1"><img src="/sites/all/modules/addtoany/images/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Save"/></a> <script type="text/javascript"> <!--//--><![CDATA[//><!-- da2a.script_load();

white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> I have become an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTJ">INTJ</a>.  If you accept that what you know now is not what you are supposed to know, and that society doesn't care to "put you in the know," then you are left by yourself to determine the purpose of life.  Some people may accept irrational conclusions to life, such as religion, but I believe that logic and math are the language of the universe.  By guiding your thought process based upon relaity, and only reality, you will be able to achieve much more in your lifetime.  There is no reason for distraction, except self-indulgence.  Once you accept that self-indulgence is only temporary, you will be forced to indulge in the true power of life and the universe.  This is how I have found satisfaction over the past few years, and it will only grow more with time.  By finding relevant data and applying it to improve all of our "in-use" systems, we will esnure that there is positive progression.  Thinking stuff through based upon logical intuition, then making a judegments based upon opportunity cost, will create a much more successful individual.  Life in its essence is barely known now, so the implications of accepting this mindset on a wide-scale will be dramatic.  The internet is waking people up to the truth behind thinking clearly, so I expect many more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTJ">INTJ's </a>to appear in the near future.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>On a related note - here are my views about religion</strong></em></p> <p> I do not necessarily believe anything in whole, since there are too many unknowns. Therefore we must take the most probabe conclusion and accept that as the truth. If anything more powerful appears, then you/we should be open to changing in order to accept the new conclusions. Accepting ideas which are not logically proven, can allow people to act irrationally (since they have an excuse for their behavior which is not necessarily bound to logic). This video explains more <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMFUPmoH9Ss">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMFUPmoH9Ss</a> . There could be a god, but by accepting that there is, you take away from the greatness of humanity. What if humanity evolved from self-organizing energy based upon simple patterns &amp; quantum entanglement? Then the only limits of the universe/ life are those that we place upon ourselves. By accepting that there is an afterlife, we may not make the most of this current life. Which could be very wasteful, since this life may be the only one we have. We must not rely upon external systems for our deliverance, but rather we should focus upon achieving greatness from within. So while I do believe that there may be some sort of higher power, this power should never be sought for answers (since it has failed to provide solid solutions in the past). We all know intrinsically what is good and what is bad. If people actually followed their morals, then there would not be such a need for "god" in our societies, since the people would naturally do what is right (creating less of a need for "saviors"). How life (the form &amp; shape of energy known to us) was started is unknown, since the idea of a creator having a creator creates an infinite never-ending fractal and since the intial energy patterns must have started somewhere (otherwise there would be nothing).  We should all just be happy that we are here against unfathomable odds and that we should make the most out of our time in existence. To make the most out of our time we must not rely upon others for greatness nor accept irrational conclusions to guide us. The universe is very mathematical and the math of thought is known as logic (in particular the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_logic">mathematical form of logic - symbolic logic</a>). By combining symbolic logic while keeping to our morals, we will be able to create a much higher quality of life for all living species, rather than if we all accepted any particular religion as our basis for guidance. I just want life to achieve the most that it can so until we know the truth behind life, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost">opportunity cost</a>, math, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_logic">symbolic logic</a>, and morals will be the only way.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px;

This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake ... INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play ... Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel ... This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals ... Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense.</p> </div> <div class="templatequotecite" style="line-height: 1em; text-align: left; padding-left: 2em; margin-top: 0px;">—<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference" style="line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTJ#cite_note-11" style="text-decoration: none; color: #0645ad; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[12]</a></sup></div> </blockquote> <p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">INTJs are<span> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_skill" title="Analytical skill" style="text-decoration: none; color: #0645ad; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">analytical</a>.

They work best when given autonomy and creative freedom. They harbor an innate desire to express themselves by conceptualizing their own intellectual designs. They have a talent for analyzing and formulating complex theories. INTJs are generally well-suited for occupations within academia, research, consulting, management, science, engineering, and law. They are often acutely aware of their own knowledge and abilities—as well as their limitations and what they<span> </span><em>don't</em><span> </span>know (a quality that tends to distinguish them from INTPs). INTJs thus develop a strong confidence in their ability and talents, making them natural leaders.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">In forming relationships, INTJs tend to seek out others with similar character traits and ideologies. Agreement on theoretical concepts is an important aspect of their relationships. By nature INTJs can be demanding in their expectations, and approach relationships in a rational manner. As a result, INTJs may not always respond to a spontaneous infatuation but wait for a mate who better fits their set criteria. They tend to be stable, reliable, and dedicated. Harmony in relationships and home life tends to be extremely important to them. They generally withhold strong emotion and do not like to waste time with what they consider irrational social rituals. This may cause non-INTJs to perceive them as distant and reserved; nevertheless, INTJs are usually very loyal partners who are prepared to commit substantial energy and time into a relationship to make it work.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">As mates, INTJs want harmony and order in the home and in relationships.

The emotions of an INTJ are hard to read, and neither male nor female INTJs are apt to express emotional reactions. At times, INTJs seem cold, reserved, and unresponsive, while in fact they are almost hypersensitive to signals of rejection from those they care for. In social situations, INTJs may also be unresponsive and may neglect small rituals designed to put others at ease. For example, INTJs may communicate that idle dialogue such as small talk is a waste of time. This may create the impression that the INTJ is in a hurry—an impression that is not always intended. In their interpersonal relationships, INTJs are usually better in a working situation than in a recreational situation.</p> <h2 style="color: black; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.6em; margin-left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #aaaaaa; width: auto; font-size: 19px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span class="editsection" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; font-size: 13px;">[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=INTJ&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: Cognitive functions" style="text-decoration: none; color: #0645ad; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">edit</a>]</span><span class="mw-headline">Cognitive functions</span></h2> <p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;">Drawing upon Jungian theory, Isabel Myers proposed that for each personality type, the cognitive functions (sensing, intuition, thinking, and feeling) form a hierarchy.

The secondary Auxiliary function serves to support and expand on the Dominant function. If the Dominant is an information gathering function (sensing or intuition), the Auxiliary is a decision making function (thinking or feeling), and vice versa. The Tertiary function is less developed than the Dominant and Auxiliary, but it matures over time, rounding out the person's abilities. The Inferior function is the personality type's Achilles' heel.

your Drupal setup.  It is amazing how far the community has come.  <a href="http://drupal.org/user/521674" title="Austin Wheeler on Drupal.org">My position in the community</a> is not necessarily a coder or a business consumer.  Rather I am a manager of modules.  I seek to learn about every single module &amp; exactly how those modules work together.  Instead of wasting time custom coding I assume that the features are already being developed by the community.  If I find a similar feature, I will submit issues to enhance that feature to have the ideal composition.  Long-term being a Manager of Modules is the ideal position to be in the community.  Up until May 2011 I had knowledge of nearly every module for Drupal, but a recent trend has made that much harder.  The conversion from CVS to GIT brought with it a tidal wave of new coding.  Previously only 5-10 new modules we released a day (max), now there are 25-50 modules released per day!  This is a 5-10X increase.  It has been very overwhelming, so now I have to change my system.  Instead of just learning about new Drupal modules in my free-time, I now have to set aside a lot of extra time.  Though I don't mind, because Drupal will be able to do nearly everything in the future, so in order to stay @ the leading edge I am willing to make sacrifices. </p> <p>Future Trends - Since modules and themes are exponentially increasing in # now, we can expect to see the same from <a href="http://drupal.org/project/features">Features </a>and <a href="http://drupal.org/project/installation%2Bprofiles">Distributions</a>.  Hopefully though many of the new modules being designed for for Drupal will be made from <a

Upon trying to establish various cooperative efforts, I have run into many road blocks.  The road blocks are not coming from the ideas, they are coming from the people that are unwilling to accept or apply these ideas.  Identifying WTF was wrong with these people (who had solutions to their problems lying in front of their face, yet they chose not to apply them) has become one of my primary focuses.  I would rather avoid analyzing these problems, but I feel that they are far too wide spread to be ignored.  If humanity at large does not get over these weaknesses, then our true potential will be greatly limited.  So I went from dis-belief, to anger, to ignoring them, to now accepting that the only solution is to change them.  Without changing them, these people will hold back our rate of progression.  Not only this, but these people can be mentally toxic to those who are trying to create positive solutions, so providing leaders with the toolds that they need to deal with negative mindsets will help them create better &amp; more efficient communities to grow their ideas through.</span></p> <p>It is best to approach problems with positive solutions.  Instead of analyzing the problems, designing a solution is much better.  Though solutions are not always prevalent.  In order for solutions to come about in some situations, the problems must be actively avoided.  The solution is in avoiding the problems.  In these cases, it can become very hard to provide workable solutions, because the majority of people actively avoid dealing with their own or others problems.  Many people I know, as a matter of fact, will not even admit to "doing something wrong" in the present or the past (so what hope is there for the future?).  I believe that nothing is 100% correct in the universe, and therefore you must take the most probable solution as the official solution (until a better alternative appears).  Opportunity cost (&amp; an acknowledgement of the limitations of the human mind) is the basis for this reasoning. </p> <p>Wikipedia - <span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><strong>Opportunity cost</strong> is the cost of any activity measured in terms of the best alternative forgone.

It implies a decision to be made with full comprehension of both the upside and downside of a particular choice. </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">In economics the term is expressed as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost" title="Opportunity cost" style="text-decoration: none;

line-height: 19px;">While Opportunity Cost generally refers to economic activities, I feel that it has a much better logical use of language than trade-off.  Opportunity Cost imples that there is 1) opportunity &amp; 2) costs (gain or loss) in subsitution.  Trade-off implies substitution via swapping resulting in costs (net loss/gain).  Opportunity Cost, along with a logical view of the universe, implies that there are always opportunities to which the potential costs (loss/gain) of application must be applied, and that the best opportunity should be pursued as to maximize gains (while minimizing losses).  Trade-off does not imply that there are always better opportunities which should be pursued, rather it just shows that there are substitutions of different value.  It does not stress the importance of this "value" enough by exposing that by forgoing a better alternative solution you are turning your current solution into one with negative value (net loss compared to ideal).  </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Most importantly, when you apply symbolic logic to philosphy and self-organizing </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">energy production </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">structures, you get a very mathematical approach to reasoning that is much more akin to free-market economic theory (unrestricted transactions/ communications between individuals).  </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Therefore I will be using Opportunity Cost in all of my explanations instead of trade-off.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Knowing that everything you are currently doing is potentially wrong, opens up the ability for you to accept new conclusions and doing so allows your mind to expand along with your understanding of life.  Constantly re-working your thought process to better align with the natural world will only help you.  If your mind is unstable, and you are unwilling to accept life altering solutions, then perhaps your "energy" was only meant to be temporary (human lifespan) and not infinite.  Everyone has the potential to achieve enlightenment, but they must let go of everything that they hold closely.  Nothing is as it seems.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Dealing with people whom seem to fight mind expansion "like it was the devil," has caused me to develop solutions to identifying these individuals, tearing down these individuals, re-building these individuals and then logically guiding them to universal greatness.  The universal greatness part is still TBD, since life as we know it is currently severely restricted in terms of our true potentials.  So for now identification, tearing down, and re-building will be my primary focus.  Be the change that you want to see &amp; lead through example.  Though when people are ready, they will be able to create great life-altering solutions through large-scale cooperative efforts.  The day when more people are truly ready to work together to find expansive solutions for humanity is coming, and by putting your productive efforts into 1) converting more people into logical mindsets &amp; 2) establishing networked information systems for them to cooperate through, you can help ensure that this day comes sooner!</span></p> </div></div></div><div class="view view-taxonomy-term view-id-taxonomy_term view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-5"> Links <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-entity-id ccklinks"> <div class="field-content"><div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first"><div class="link-item ccklink"><div class="link-title">Opportunity Cost on Wikipedia</div><div class="link-url"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost</a></div></div></li> <li class="last"><div class="link-item ccklink"><div class="link-title">Trade Off on Wikipedia</div><div class="link-url"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade-off">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade-off</a></div></div></li> </ul></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-links field-type-link-field field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Links:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd"><div class="link-item ccklink"><div class="link-title">Opportunity Cost on Wikipedia</div><div class="link-url"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost</a></div></div></div><div class="field-item even"><div class="link-item ccklink"><div class="link-title">Trade Off on Wikipedia</div><div class="link-url"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade-off">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade-off</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-title field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd">Solutions for Humanity - Creating Cooperation Through Applying Opportunity Cost Equally to Positive &amp;

The general public will catch on by 2010, and the power in society will be shifted to the people. <em>Natural power</em> from people empowering each other with <em>Free Relevant Information</em> will take hold of most aspects of society. These Open Source CMS will bring about a relative golden age of business transparency, c2c social collaboration and a much higher level of accountability by businesses to the human race as a whole. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Natural power</span></em><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> is from people empowering each other with <em>Free Relevant Information.</em> In the past this idea of natural power was based upon the simple caring information was practiced by the Dalai Lama and shamans. They both have worked hard to empower people with the message of peace and love. If everyone adopted such beliefs the world would be a better place, but this is reality. It is hard to have love and peace when resources are minimal or non-existent. Human suffering has been going on since the beginning of time. Being blessed with life in the United States during a time when all there is to do is educate yourself. No military draft or occupying invaders, just people living freely. Living freely helped create the computer, and the computer is probably the most empowering tool that the people have in their arsenal. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Before computers (pre-1960) taking a stand against corruption required giving up your identity to report it to the proper authorities and whether they listened or not, the party (business or government) that the person was whistle blowing on will probably learn of their reporting. The positive-focused whistle blow would have faced a high risk of retaliation, such as being caught up in court or worse... The power held by the big companies and governments used to be far to much to handle for the common person since there was practically no oversight compared to today and these institutions ruled over the general public who lacked the true empowerment of education. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The computer has progressed due to "hackers" modifying their early equipment to create uses unheard of before this time. The computer might have never even reached the general public if it wasn't for these "hackers" taking the time to learn more about the product than was required to use the current basic known functions. As the coding naturally formed together into patterns in front of their eyes, they became some of the first humans to realize the potentials of the technology. They recognized that digital computers didn't have to live by the rules of the physical world, and in time they could be used to increase the productivity, efficiency, and ultimate potentials of their part of the world within their lifetimes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">These early adopters worked hard with only a glimpse of what the computer would become. Being the first in the industry, these people were given the choice of working on whatever aspect of the computer they wanted. Some chose the software, some hardware, and a few others probably worked in other aspects of the business which were probably non-computer related, since usage was very complex and took a lot of learning time. By all of them working with a relatively uniform focus, they were able to create a system of empowering each other which would only 10-20 years later be recognized by the general public as a tool to empower themselves. Progress in the beginning of the digital age was negligent compared to the levels of output experienced today. Many of these hardware and software developers over time logically determined that they could gain way more natural power by aligning with other developers on a few basic systems. Some of these were programming languages that now allowed people who had never met each other to instantly have the ability to empower each other with knowledge through communication and application at a higher level than previously possible. This only becomes more intense in time because the coding becomes more stable as it has been objectively understood and integrated into the bigger symbolic pattern. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><br /> As time progressed into recent years, the level of cooperation between all parties has risen steadily in percentage while the whole industry exponentially increased in number of people partaking overall. The reason: The shared "public" knowledge allowed anyone with the time and patience the ability to partake in any aspect of trying out or perpetuating the evolving computer systems (of hardware and software). As programming progresses the number of advanced usable features that have been cooperatively simplified for the common computer user increases. Completely Open Source software is the logical extension of this cooperation. This is the belief that all chosen coding and software should be available for everyone to use and modify. Companies release in charge of the open source software coding release the fished product with a lot of the R&amp;D information included. No legal protections are held by anyone over stock open source software, so the whole product is designed to be fully customizable. These companies actually welcome the after-market modification done to their software, especially since there is a good chance that any major developments would be released straight back to the public and the original source. These major developments are usually founded in one of the many online public social collaborating communities. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><br /> People feel positive about good deals and free stuff. Social collaborators will increasingly work together to conjure up the methodical information behind enhancing and customizing most products. While some people will just get more out of their "stock OEM" products by learning how to better setup and use them. Others who have access to this knowledge will logically spend some money on raw materials to make major modifications to their own product. As the in-depth product knowledge becomes more mainstream and the raw materials start to be marketed to the general public, people will take advantage of the higher ease of access to the advanced customization. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><br /> This situation mirrors the TV and music industries. Piracy has continued to grow heavily in the last 10 years, due to the relatively in-depth knowledge of CD/ DVD products that spread among software (bypassing copy protection)and hardware developers (who made burners faster &amp; CD-Rs/ DVD-Rs cheaper). Now the software developers have created file-sharing programs and the hardware people bigger hard drives. The natural power created by these various technology enthusiasts first empowered each other, and through dissemination empowered the general public. Thus, these businesses trying to fight piracy have failed horribly. This trend will continue. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><br /> A company that releases their internal R&amp;D information and doesn't booby-trap their product will stay far ahead of their competitors who do not. More and more web designers and programmers are foregoing developing their own unique platform from scratch and hoping on the band wagon. Logically a company making un-modifiable products (by designing the product for tamper-resistant self-destruction) will soon lose all of their business to the competing company who makes their product more easily customizable. Much like how the Open Source software system works right now. In particular the Open Source CMS programs are empowering people quicker and quicker. The wiki is a new form of natural power that far supersedes any previous empowerment given to the general public. People are just starting to wake up to the systems of communication that have recently been developed. This time though, the empowerment will not sway the general public in the direction of committing petty crimes just to experience more art in their lives. Rather this new empowerment is based upon working together to combine all human knowledge into a wiki CMS and provide this to everyone in the world for free! </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">MediaWiki was the first company to realize the true natural power of the wiki CMS, and they have acted rightfully knowing that they could change humanity for the better. As the general public adopts the wiki into daily life, the computer has evolved and grown into the mainstream enough now that the potentials of collaborative open source computer systems can be fully realized. <em>People are naturally whistle blowers.</em> If they are jealous of someone/ have anger for not being included in scam or don't approve of their activities to begin with, then they can report to a wiki (or other CMS) from any computer. If a business is acting unethically then the number of people secretly or openly reporting them will only increase, since everyone has access to untraceable public computers (libraries) and people are naturally whistle blowers due the nature of our society. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><br /> No longer will products be purchased by the general public solely because of their marketing campaigns, but rather <span style="text-decoration: underline;">consumers will be able to quickly locate troves of in-depth information online on at least 4 main topics that will provide them with a much more precise (close to reality) understanding of each business and their products. Information sought after includes:</span> </span></p> <ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The People, the Product &amp; Related Processes</span></em></strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">: PUBLIC-DRIVEN INFO </span></li> </ul><ol type="1"><li class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Stock R&amp;D Info:</span></span></em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> All methods and materials used when creating the product</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> (to meet the publics transparency needs or from internal whistle blowers). </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Logistics/ Methods of Transporting the Product:</span></span></em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> The Business ethics along every part of the production chain will be under scrutiny</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> (due to reports from whistle blowers handling products) </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">After-Market Modification &amp; Hacking Info:</span></span></em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Consumers modifying their recent purchases to get the results they desire (A.K.A. hacking) will share ALL aspects they discover about the product online with their favorite social collaborating communities. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">&lt;u&gt;<em>The Owners, Workers and Affiliates</em>:</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> whistle blowers will force all parties and affiliates related to a company to maintain a healthy public image. If the a few people in the general public don't trust a business, then some of them will probably conduct independent research and report all findings anonymously to the public. </span></li> </ol><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"><br /> Now that the people have the natural power of computer information systems all the above aspects of each and every business will not truly be that hard to monitor, especially since the monitoring is now being conducted by independent disgruntled or jealous people within the same big business and government organizations that they are trying to take down. The general public fear of being squashed by big business and government will fade as they open up to being empowered by the wiki and work together. The content of the wiki is actually the same as open source, but it is labeled as creative commons. That means that not only can the MediaWiki CMS be duplicated and modified in your own manner, but the information may also be. This is a great idea, but how can computer enthusiasts get the public to learn and adopt these great social collaborating advanced tools? The common person thinks it to complex for them to grasp... </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Now that a lot of time has passed the programmers have made it incredibly easy for a common person to install a wiki, blog, forum, etc. Web hosting companies (like Netfirms.com) charge under $5 a month for the server and a domain name costs about $10 a year. These types of businesses are run by programmers who have made the installation of the most popular Open Source CMS a 1 click install! They realized by empowering people with the content management systems basically already up-n-running that the customers would be able to start with the final product, making them feeling empowered from having their "own" place on the internet. The customization of the CMS now doesn't seem that hard to the user and they usually feel empowered enough to work sort of backwards, by fitting in the basics. Overtime the once powerless general public person has become an empowered adopter of the computer technology. Businesses pay $1000- $2000 for websites that are created on Open Source CMS. These are a steal deal for any website designer, since the common adult business owner has no idea the complexities and simplicities of creating a basic website, much less one with advanced features. They have embedded in their minds images of pre-2000 computer programming. When very few, if any, open source CMS were out there for the grabbing. 8+ years later and almost every programming process have the coding hidden deep in the files that never need to be touched. Instead all the administrative options are available in anywhere from 5-50+ super-simplified questionnaire style forms. Replacing the default values with your own is very easy now that there is a blatant example placed in each section of the CMS that could, but wouldn't ever be deemed to complex for someone with even basic literacy. Now that being said, these business owners and anyone else with $70 a year could all be running their very own seemingly-complex CMS websites. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Back to the wiki CMS, The wiki has the most natural power associated with it. This power is held in the collaborative nature of the wiki. The database structure allows the community to recognize common categories through which information has the ability to be perpetually collected in a non-repetitive manner. The ability to be edited by ANYONE ANYWHERE in the world means that as people discover the wiki, more and more will work together. Thus, collecting more information quicker, while having a bigger community to review and organize it. The increasing intensity and amount of communication and interaction will make all the people feel way more involved and empowered in their lives. Much more than ever experienced in the history the human race. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The people have grown to see that the natural power had empowered them enough to work together and take a stand for what is right. The <em>Natural power</em> gained from people empowering each other with <em>Free Relevant Information</em> will take hold of most aspects of society. These Open Source CMS will bring about a relative golden age of business transparency, c2c social collaboration and a much higher level of accountability by businesses to the human race as a whole.

chance of political corruption when the internet ownership changes in 2012.  </li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Property rights:</span> The civil liberties of all US citizens has been put a risk since the indoctrination of the Patriot Act.  The government may take physical property through eminent domain and punish people for their mental property (ideas).  The Homegrown

eats food.) There is chemical warfare going on right now in the food industry, and if you do not choose sides, the rest of your life &amp; all your future descendants will suffer.It is obvious who cares about health research/application and who doesn’t – and this will become more obvious in the years to come as people age. Productive longevity will only be provided to those whom work hard for it during the next century (&amp; in the future). By work I do not mean make money, I mean active R&amp;D and personal application. Being uninformed/ uneducated in the past may have been an easy way to get by (aka not worrying), but by doing so in the future you will be pushing your (personal &amp; descendants) genetic potentials downward.If your intake is not already highly controlled, I would recommend starting off with an exclusive system (excluding bad food substances) then moving on to an inclusive system (only allowing specific food substances) after you have identified enough well-researched sources for food/ drink to satisfy your daily nutritional requirements.Here are a few resources. I moved these to the top (from bottom) because it is important for you all to watch these &amp; I figured that some of you may not reach the bottom of this post...<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FOOD DOCUMENTARIES TO WATCH – to scare you into exclusive eating and inspire/drive you into inclusive eating </span></strong></p> <ul><li>Food, Inc. <a href="http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=173484">http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=173484</a></li> <li>The Future of Food <a href="http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=705&amp;pid=928555&amp;mode=threaded&amp;start">http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=705&amp;pid=928555&amp;mode=threaded&amp;start</a>=</li> <li>The World According to Monsanto <a href="http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=95285&amp;pid=1035455&amp;mode=threaded&amp;start=0">http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=95285&amp;pid=1035455&amp;mode=threaded&amp;start=0</a></li> <li>Seeds of deception <a href="http://vimeo.com/6575475">http://vimeo.com/6575475</a> book : <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/324362566/AlSofts.Org_SeedsOfDeception.rar">http://rapidshare.com/files/324362566/AlSofts.Org_SeedsOfDeception.rar</a></li> </ul><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">NON-GMO Shopping Guide (great resource)</span></strong><a href="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/DocumentFiles/144.pdf">http://www.responsibletechnology.org/DocumentFiles/144.pdf</a></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">EXCLUSIVE EATING (Excluding BAD STUFF)</span></strong></p> <p>There is chemical warfare going on right now in the food industry, and if you do not choose sides, the rest of your life &amp; all your future descendants will suffer. Although some may say this suffering may not be directly attributed to this (or known consciously as it is occurring), logically the chemical makeup of your body controls its capabilities, so clouding your system with toxic substances (as currently pushed by big business, main stream media, and general population (possibly unknowingly, but also possibly done on purpose for profits)) will decrease the ability for you to reach your true genetic/ environmental potential. Whether these substances attack you mentally and/ or physically they must be dealt with directly at the root of the problem.Luckily a lot of research is being done on these substances, so they are being exposed more and more every day. And the fact that certain companies specialize in producing toxic food additives, gmo’s, etc. makes it all the easier to identify the problem causers. Once you have identified a potentially “evil” / “unhealthy” company – the best approach is to use 100% avoidance of all their products. If you cannot apply this then you lack self-control OR you lack the intelligence to care for your mind/body/ spirit.Monsanto (an EVIL GMO Company that has taken over a large portion US Food supply! <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto</a> ) You should avoid anything &amp; everything that Monsanto makes/ is related to (if you don’t want cancer OR some horrible disease…).

(usually companies are just fined, but this case was so severe that they had criminal proceedings). The main reason it was not allowed is that it blatantly causes brain tumors.

That would be Drupal. The potential life energy that can be created through designing networked systems using Drupal is unmatched in any other system (except for "life" itself). This is why I have not written any blog posts in the past year or so (because my inner-drive has been over-powered and morphed due to the possibilities that are now available (Thanks to Drupal!) to experience &amp; understand/control. The potentials of life are hidden deep within networked systems. These networked systems are made of a nearly infinite # unique "stimuli" that when combined create synergy (a,k,a, Life Energy). Understanding these individual stimuli and their place within the whole system is almost too much to comprehend (at least to pull it out all at once from your subconscious and into your consciousness (since POV (point of view) skews perception of stimuli and you can only multi-task think from so many POV's at once. So this is where the need for an extended networked system from the human mind has real potential. I think that most people understand this concept, yet become boggled down at the shear mass amount of life energy they is to be understood (the stimuli's place in life's networked system). So instead of fretting around what "life" truly is, people should accept the unoinization between their mind and a computer database. Now, most computer databases are written by people in other POV's. So the ability for a single person to adapt someone else's information system as their own internal mind (100% to the fullest potential) is nearly impossible/null. You may get glimpses of true understanding and the bigger picture, but your thought/ info systems will remain clouded. That is unless you can design your own networked information system to think/ flow/ store information in the same way that you do. This may sound like it would be hard to do, but not true anymore. THANKS TO DRUPAL! This is why I call Drupal God. There is no other open source program out there that matches the level of simplified complexity as Drupal. There are soo many ways to approach it (&amp; more everyday - check out <a href="http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14/0/feed" title="Drupal New Module RSS Feed">Drupal.org new module RSS Feed http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14/0/feed</a> ) Most other CMS are just about content management/ organizing VS Drupal is about designing networked systems to separate information/ stimuli into as many "sub-categories" as possible - then linking them all together through an intelligently designed/ infinitely transferrable/ perpetually upgradeable system which leads to exponential possibilities. This is why I have not written in a blog post in a while. I have been put into a trance by the shear awesomeness and potentials of Drupal.Also my blog will be upgraded to Drupal soon, then I will be bulk importing a bunch of my past ideas that I promised to share a year or two ago. Transparency is king, and now that I know the best information system to spread transparency (and create more "understandable" synergy between stimuli), I will surely be taking advantage of it for many years to come.

making all industry sectors buzz.<span> </span>This product is truly a new opportunity that has never seen market truly until the last decade of human history.<span> </span>Domain names are an emerging new product and industry.<span> </span>The marketing strategies of domainers (one who buys and sells domain names) have evolved drastically over the past few years.<span> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">One key element of marketing domain names that is different than marketing any other legal product, is the inability to be able to directly market (approach them personally) a domain name to a person/ business based upon relatedness of keywords.<span> </span>This can bring about legal cases where a domain name must be forfeited due to show of intent to defraud.<span> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, when marketing domain names you must build them up so that if your target market happens to be searching around the internet and stumbles upon one of them, they are persuaded to purchase it.<span> </span>The keywords that make up the domain name are usually sought after by business owners based upon the relatedness to their company and by entrepreneurs based upon the potential business models that could logically be stored upon the domain name as a fully operating website.<span> </span>When domaining you can increase your chances of successful marketing by building 1 or more basic “mock-up” operating business models for each domain name.<span> </span>The domain names will then market themselves with no need for upkeep.<span> </span>This is an authentic new product that is worth checking out, especially if you are a marketing specialist.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field

Furthermore the first programmers of the internet based everything out of English &amp; due to path dependency (refer to Wikipedia) English is the Official language of the internet forever (ensuring exponential long-term returns). Domains only became widely available at an affordable price about 2-3 years ago. The market will grow exponentially &amp; your "real estate" shares will never be tied to another other business parties except the trends of society. </span></span><span class="style1" style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">WHICH DOMAINS TO BUY? Research trends to determine possible business models for the (future) information economy. If the model seems to have potential, buy all of the relating domain names (monopolizing a concept), and maybe build a basic website to increase exposure/ potential sales. Domain names cost about $10 year (<a href="http://www.moniker.com">http://www.moniker.com</a>). If u check for availability BUY it right away, because the domain companies snipe user queries.</span></span></p> <p class="style1" style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Having trouble finding a name that's open?

in popularity, potentials of their advanced features, ease of creation and of use. The general public will catch on by 2010, and the power in society will be shifted to the people. <em><a href="http://wikibookmarks.org/wiki/index.php?title=Natural_power&amp;action=edit" title="Natural power" class="new">Natural power</a></em> from people empowering each other with <em>Free Relevant Information</em> will take hold of most aspects of society.

They both have worked hard to empower people with the message of peace and love. If everyone adopted such beliefs the world would be a better place, but this is reality. It is hard to have love and peace when resources are minimal or non-existent. Human suffering has been going on since the beginning of time. Being blessed with life in the United States during a time when all there is to do is educate yourself. No military draft or occupying invaders, just people living freely. Living freely helped create the computer, and the computer is probably the most empowering tool that the people have in their arsenal. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Before computers (pre-1960) taking a stand against corruption required giving up your identity to report it to the proper authorities and whether they listened or not, the party (business or government) that the person was whistle blowing on will probably learn of their reporting. The positive-focused whistle blow would have faced a high risk a retaliation, such as being caught up in court or worse... The power held by the big companies and governments used to be far to muchto handle for the common person since there was practically no oversight compared to today and these institutions ruled over the general public who lacked the true empowerment of education.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5464925144369700635&amp;hl=en" title="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5464925144369700635&amp;hl=en" class="external text" rel="nofollow">The computer has progressed due to "hackers" modifying their early equipment to create uses unheard of before this time</a>. The computer might have never even reached the general public if itwasn't for these "hackers" taking the time to learn more about the product than was required to use the current basic known functions. As the coding naturally formed together into patterns in front of their eyes, they became some of the first humans to realize the potentials of the technology. They recognized that digital computers didn't have to live by the rules of the physical world, and in time they could be used to increase the productivity, efficiency,and ultimate potentials of their part of the world within their lifetimes. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">These early adopters worked hard with only a glimpse of what the computer would become. Being the first in the industry, these people were given the choice of working on whatever aspect of the computer they wanted. Some chose the software, some hardware, and a few others probably worked in other aspects of the business which were probably non-computer related, since usage was very complex and took a lot of learning time. By all of them working with a relatively uniform focus, they were able to create a system of empowering each other which would only 10-20 years later be recognized by the general public as a tool to empower themselves. Progress in the beginning of the digital age was negligent compared to the levels of output experienced today. Many of these hardware and software developers over time logically determined that they could gain way more natural power by aligning with other developers on a few basic systems. Some of these were programming languages that now allowed people who had never met each other toinstantly have the ability to empower each other with knowledge through communication and application at a higher level than previously possible. This only becomes more intense in time because the coding becomes more stable as it has been objectively understood and integrated into the bigger symbolic pattern.</span><span style="font-family: arial;">As time progressed into recent years, the level of cooperation between all parties has risen steadily in percentage while the whole industry exponentially increased in number of people partaking overall. The reason: The shared "public" knowledge allowed anyone with the time andpatience the ability to partake in any aspect of trying out or perpetuating the evolving computer systems (of hardware and software). As programming progresses the number of advanced usable features that have been cooperatively simplified for the common computer user increases. Completely Open Source software is the logical extension of this cooperation. The belief that all chosen coding and software should be available for everyone to use and modify. Companies release in charge of the open source software coding release the fished product with a lot of the R&amp;D information included. No legal protections are held by anyone over stock open source software, so the whole product is designed to be fully customizable. These companies actuallywelcome the after-market modification done to their software, especially since there is a good chance that any major developments would be released straight back to the public and the original source. These major developements are usually founded in one of the many online public social collaborating communities.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> People feel positive about good deals and free stuff. Social collaborators will increasingly work together to conjure up the methodical information behind enhancing and customizing most products.While some people will just get more out of their "stock OEM" products by learning how to better setup and use them. Others who have access to this knowledge will logically spend some money on raw materials to make major modifications to their own product. As the in-depth product knowledge becomes more mainstream and the raw materials start to be marketed to the general public, people will take advantage of the higher ease of access to the advanced customization. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">This situation mirrors the TV and music industries. <a href="http://wikibookmarks.org/wiki/index.php?title=Piracy" title="Piracy">Piracy </a>has continued to grow heavily in the last 10 years, due to the relatively in-depth knowledge of CD/ DVD products that spread amongsoftware (bypassing copy protection)and hardware developers (who made burners faster &amp; CD-Rs/ DVD-Rs cheaper). Now the software developers have create file-sharing programs and the hardware people bigger hard drives. The <a href="http://wikibookmarks.org/wiki/index.php?title=Natural_power&amp;action=edit" title="Natural power" class="new">natural powercreated </a>by these various technology enthusiasts first empowered each other, and through dissemination empowered the general public. Thus, these businesses trying to fight piracy have failed horribly. This trend will continue. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">A company that releases their internal R&amp;D information and doesn't booby-trap their product will stay far ahead of their competitors who do not. More and more web designers and programmers are foregoing developing their own unique platform from scratch and hoping on the band wagon. Logically a company making unmodifiable products (by designing the product for tamper-resistant self-destruction) will soon lose all of their business to the competing company who makes theirproduct more easily customizable. Much like how the <a href="http://wikibookmarks.org/wiki/index.php?title=Open_Source" title="Open Source">Open Source</a> software system works right now. In particular the Open Source CMS programs are empowering people quicker and quicker. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">The <a href="http://wikibookmarks.org/wiki/index.php?title=Wiki" title="Wiki">wiki </a>is a new form of natural power that far supersedes any previous empowerment given to the general public. People are just starting to wake up to the systems of communication that have recently been developed. This time though, the empowerment will not sway the general public in the direction of committing petty crimes just to experience more art in their lives. Rather this new empowerment is based upon working together to combine all human knowledge into a wiki CMS and provide this to everyone in the world for free! </span><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;">MediaWiki was the first company to realize the true natural power of the wiki CMS, and they have acted rightfully knowing that they could change humanity for the better. As the general public adopts the wiki into daily life, The computer has evolved and grown into the mainstream enough now that the potentials of collaborative open source computer systems can be fully realized. <em>People are naturally whistle blowers. </em>If they are jealous of someone/ have anger for not being included in scam or don't approve of their activities to begin with, then they can report to a wiki (or other CMS) from any computer. If a business is acting unethically then the number of people secretly or openly reporting them will only increase, since everyone has access to untraceable public computers (libraries) and people are naturally whistle blowers due the nature of our society.</span><span style="font-family: arial;">No longer will products be purchased by the general public solely because of their marketing campaigns, but rather <span style="text-decoration: underline;">consumers will be able to quickly locate troves of in-depth information online on at least 4 main topics that will provide them with a much more precise (close to reality) understanding of each business and their products. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Information sought after includes:</span></span></p> <ul><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><em><strong>The People, the Product &amp; Related Processes</strong></em>: PUBLIC-DRIVEN INFO</span></li> </ul><ol><li> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Stock R&amp;D Info:</em> All methods and materials used when creating the product</span>(to meet the publics transparency needs or from internal whistle blowers).</span></li> <li> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Logistics/ Methods of Transporting the Product:</em> The Business ethics along every part of the production chain will be under scrutiny</span> (due to reports from whistle blowers handling products)</span></li> <li> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>After-Market Modification &amp; <a href="http://wikibookmarks.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hacking&amp;action=edit" title="Hacking" class="new">Hacking</a> Info:</em>Consumers modifying their recent purchases to get the results they desire(A.K.A. hacking) will share ALL aspects they discover about the product online with their favorite social collaborating communities. </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> <em>The Owners, Workers and Affiliates</em>:</span>whistle blowers will force all parties and affiliates related to a company to maintain a healthy public image. If the a few people in the general public don't trust a business, then some of them will probably conduct independent research and report all findings anonymously to the public. </span></li> </ol><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Now that the people have the natural power of computer information systems all the above aspects of each and every business will not truly be that hard to monitor, especially since the monitoring is now being conducted by independent disgruntled or jealous people within the same big business and government organizations that they are trying to take down. The general public fear of being squashed by big business and government will fade as they open up to being empowered by the wiki and work together. The content of the wiki is actually the same as open source, but it is labeled as creative commons. That means that not only can the MediaWiki CMS be duplicated and modified in your own manner, but the information may also be. This is a great idea, but how cancomputer enthusiasts get the public to learn and adopt these great social collaborating advanced tools? The common person thinks it to complex for them to grasp... </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Now that a lot of time has passed the programmers have made it incredibly easy for a common person to install a wiki, blog, forum, etc. Web hosting companies (like Netfirms.com) charge under $5 a month for the server and a domain name costs about $10 a year. These types of businesses are run by programmers who have made the installation of the most popular Open Source CMS a 1 click install! They realized by empowering people with the content management systems basically already up-n-running that the customers would be able to start with the final product, making them feeling empowered from having their "own" place on the internet. The customization of the CMS now doesn't seem that hard to the user and they usually feel empowered enough to work sort ofbackwards, by fitting in the basics. Overtime the once powerless general public person has become an empowered adopter of the computer technology. Businesses pay $1000- $2000 for websites that are created on Open Source CMS. These are a steal deal for any website designer,since the common adult business owner has no idea the complexities and simplicities of creating a basic website, much less one with advanced features. They have embedded in their minds images of pre-2000 computer programming. When very few, if any, open source CMS were out there forthe grabbing. 8+ years later almost every programming process has had the coding hidden deep in the files that never need to be touched. Instead all the administrative options are available in anywhere from 5-50+ super-simplified questionnaire style forms. Replacing the default values with your own is very easy now that there is a blatant example placed in each section of the CMS that could, but wouldn't ever be deemed to complex for someone with even basic literacy. Now that being said, these business owners and anyone else with $70 a year could all be running their very own seemingly-complex CMS websites. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Back to the wiki CMS. The wiki has the most natural power associated with it. This power is held in the collaborative nature of the wiki. The database structure allows the community to recognizecommon categories through which information has the ability to be perpetually collected in a non-repetitive manner. The ability to be edited by ANYONE ANYWHERE in the world means that as people discover the wiki, more and more will work together. Thus, collecting more information quicker, while having a bigger community to review and organize it. The increasing intensity and amount of communication and interaction will make all the people feel way more involved andempowered in their lives. Much more than ever experienced in the history the human race.</span><span style="font-family: arial;">The people have grown to see that the natural power had empowered them enough to work together and take a stand for what is right.

Basically these paragraphs say that the current education system is based upon restricting information (with debt burdens) for financial gain by misleading through distracting students with irrelevant inward memorization, while compared to the opposite freedom based self-education system(incubator lifestyle) of learning information which creates outward thought process formation resulting increased relevancy and creativity. Creativity is the future of education, and the recent student loan scandal has only reaffirmed that the current system is founded upon unethical behaviors resulting in artificially restrictive barriers to mental breakthroughs.'''</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Well-educated people invest in sources of education they can logically trust. The recent actions of financial institutions in exploiting the education system (&amp; as a result the future potential of the human race) have helped perpetuate an already widely held belief that the USA was failing to provide adequate preparation and resources for real-life applicable knowledge. The source of funds determines their nature, therefore funds from any company practicing such policies should ethically be denied and exact circumstances should be reported to a consumer review board. The logical extension of education as a whole is to help the human race progress (passing excess "banked" progress inherited generation-to-generation).</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;">Progress through education was never historically meant to symbolically represent long-term debt . Education represents the opposite of restriction, which is freedom. If these colleges want to practice the exploitation of hope from the human spirit, then there will surely be a backlash much like that of public responses to the unethical behaviors of large international corporations (ie. Walmart). The largest corporations in the world are intertwined with the banking system. Walmart does more business than some medium sized countries. Based upon recent evidence, the failed education system in the USA has evolved into an exploitative business venture focused upon profit from restriction rather than freedom, with near-complete disregard for the future of the human race. In an increasingly globalized culture and economy the average college degree from a US university will have a decreasing amount of power on the ultimately self-determined potential career path of an individual. Creativity will logically become one of the most sought after behavioral characteristics, because it creates a sustainable competitive advantage by acting as a perpetually evolving stabilizer for the company over its respective industry.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;">The source of creativity has been described by many as an outwardly flowing thought process. Listening intently to learn a required syllabus tends to force students to artificially inseminate thoughts inward to form memories of primarily unrelated facts with a few connections showing only part of the bigger picture. The Kindergarten through 12th grade public school system cares little about outward creative thoughts, but rather repetitious recitation. College helps some of these pupils to finally break the learning "egg-shell" and progress as life-long-learners. While most of the graduating students spent just enough time to pass classes only based upon knowledge tested while also probably partying too hard with the little free-time left.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;">So another generation of working class individuals is created and distributed throughout the job market. Too bad the jobs are leaving the US seeking cheaper production and a more highly educated workforce. Neither of which comes with any value gained when conducting business in the US, especially compared with other growing opportunities. A highly educated society is one that is the most diverse and creative compared to other societies. The US may be a "melting pot" of diversity, but surprisingly most of the major creative breakthroughs that have progressively increased technology or living standards, were not created by top college students. Rather the true potential values of education have been most importantly attributed to self-education of individuals who resisted the inward thoughts that society was throwing at them, and instead they determined their life (career) path based upon distancing themselves from these wasteful distractions to develop objective outward thoughts. The opportunity cost of the human resource must be applied to determine the most sane resource for information education (paid or unpaid.) The current system limits creativity through the potentials of what you can or can't do with your money (since you have less if you choose to pay for knowledge) and it also limits knowledge intake around a strict, yet increasingly outdated base resources.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;">The recent unethical behavior could very well act as a tipping point for the education economy worldwide. Since outward thought is needed to be creative, establishing a successful career path requires learning more than just the common out-dated knowledge shared by the over-priced US college system. Rather the whole system (k-12-college)will only continue to show any success only if the students achieving such undergrad/ graduate degrees have the time to take the inward thoughts from class and reapply them outwardly based upon a self-established (and self-managed) system of learning. The necessities for life are food, water, and shelter. As the smarter people evolve to become more creatively competitive worldwide, technology and careers become more time intensive, the failing US economy will forcefully add knowledge (information) to the list of necessities for life in the 1st world. What should be done to companies/ people convicted of exploiting the progress of education in the USA for their own personal gain? They should be bypassed. Information is meant to be freely transferred and collectively organized based upon relativity, not fragmented into "spoon fed" (syllabus) partialities which are exclusively restricted to those with the money and time to even pursue such. The public generally doesn't discuss self-education, because the concept is something through which every species near-automatically conducts throughout its daily activities, thusly identifying problems, finding solutions and applying such information personally based upon past variations for a more positive or less negative effect.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;">Instead of force-feeding yourself inward flowing thoughts from the publicly established education system and instead determine the type of work-in-life you wish to pursue. This is done through soul-searching, constructing relevant outward thoughts to solidify the whole process into an original (not commonly held) belief, that may even the more relevant than the general public consensus, hence allowing personal creative processes to overtake those of distracting irrelevant outsiders (though these outsiders think they are acting as insiders) attempting to transfer you knowledge which will primarily only distract and delay personal creative progress. The recent unethical behavior by Sally Mae and Citibank shows a reaffirmation that the current public education system is becoming increasingly restrictive and irrelevant to the true potentials of the human race. Instead of going 50k - 100k in debt to learn already outdated knowledge, try saving some money and getting better results by openly collaborating with those around you. Make sure you are not paying them to sit there and listen to you, and if constructively build-up the level of shared intelligence exchanged during the interaction then you are already creatively further ahead on a more relevant life (career) path than would ever be produced by the unethical behaviors perpetuating unethical and immoral beliefs about education, especially in the ways it relates to freedom vs. restriction. Freely moving particles will always disperse to a less condensed area (space.) So hopefully since information is free-flowing it will disperse itself naturally until it reaches an equalized pressure. The belief that education may be paid for opens it up to exploitative scandals. When money is involved the person/ entity in charge of the resources producing the money will restrict natural flow as long as possible. Eventually though, in the near future these dam information barriers will explode and crumble with such ferocity that the people in power exploiting information, will themselves become exploited by the knowledge they withheld. The conviction of giant international corporations on criminal and civil charges for conducting unethical behavior against the general public interest represents only the beginning of a knowledge revolution known as the information economy.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <div><strong>At the current rate it will <em>break 100,000</em> sometime in the middle of the night!!! </strong></div> <div><img src="http://austinvlwheeler.com/TDstatistics.jpg" alt="Timeless Domain Yearly Statistics" width="531" height="255" /></div> <p>I also just setup a <strong><a href="http://nightjib.com" title="Student Loan Scandal &amp; The INformation Economy">wiki for my MGT-401 Business Law Group Project (@NightJib.com)</a></strong><em> This short description of the information economy was an unedited version of my portion of the project:</em></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-title field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd">Evolution of the Information Economy</div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="addtoany first"><span> <a class="da2a_button" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save" id="da2a_27"><img src="/sites/all/modules/addtoany/images/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Save"/></a> </span></li> <li class="fb_social_like_fb_like_default last"><span><div class="fb_social-like-plugin"><fb:like layout="box_count" width="200" action="like" font="verdana" colorscheme="evil" href="http://austinvlwheeler.com/blog/evolution-information-economy"></fb:like></div></span></li> </ul> Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000 Austin 66 at http://austinvlwheeler.com http://austinvlwheeler.com/blog/evolution-information-economy#comments Very Busy Upgrading This Week!

Therefore, we need policies to make it harder to get access to information unless you've paid for it." I disagree heavily with this idea. Buying &amp; Selling should never be the focus of work, but rather the life experiences. People who just want the $$ will just push their minds to work up until they reached a certain pay level. The true potentials of life will Never be reached this way.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Most people in the world are thinking in terms of the current potentials of information. A lot of people tend to believe that there isn't enough to go around, so they have to fight for their own (i.e. through controlling and selling information). But, this is not true if information sharing is logically extended with perpetual transparency. Watch "The Secret" a documentary about the true infiniteness of the universe and it discusses focusing feelings only on what you want, instead of what you don't want to do.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Now who here wants to hold superiority over others by controlling information that those people could have potentially used independently in a positive productive way? I think that in 20-30 years (if freedom persists) there will be enough potential for society to become focused upon Self-Sufficiency and Self-Education. The only thing society needs is a source to become highly informed, which is just starting with the internet. The population is slowly waking up, but they may need help.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This is where my definition of the information economy comes in. The wiki and social collaborators will build up huge interactive information databases. Over time the physical "reality" information (world w/o the internet) will be surpassed by logically organized digital multimedia information with natural and universally understood topic categories and subcategories. There will probably be so many cross linkages between categories (&amp; forms of media &amp; multimedia) that it will seem everything is a fully digitally interactive real-world.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If people focus on the technology for long-term self-sufficiency and self-education, then this "information economy" will allow the public to live higher standards of living while causing less impact upon the environment. If people were actually trying to work together for a better self-managed world for everyone, our society would become much more like that of the Native Americans. The Indians would use pretty much 100% of everything that took from the land, and people in the future will do the same but along a "conveyor belt of information based-realities" through which individual productivity and efficiency would ensure a much more powerful use of mental, physical, and natural resources than that of today.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-title field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd">My Definition of an Information Economy (After very long days of work.. strangely enough..)</div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="addtoany first"><span> <a class="da2a_button" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save" id="da2a_29"><img src="/sites/all/modules/addtoany/images/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" alt="Share/Save"/></a> </span></li> <li class="fb_social_like_fb_like_default last"><span><div class="fb_social-like-plugin"><fb:like layout="box_count" width="200" action="like" font="verdana" colorscheme="evil" href="http://austinvlwheeler.com/blog/my-definition-information-economy-after-very-long-days-work-strangely-enough"></fb:like></div></span></li> </ul> Mon, 24 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0000 Austin 68 at http://austinvlwheeler.com http://austinvlwheeler.com/blog/my-definition-information-economy-after-very-long-days-work-strangely-enough#comments Interactive Mayan Calendar Astrology + Divination Modules &amp; My Mayan Reports http://austinvlwheeler.com/blog/interactive-mayan-calendar-astrology-divination-modules-amp-my-mayan-reports <div class="field field-name-post-date field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd">Monday, September 17, 2007 - 7:00pm</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-category field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/categories/history" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">History</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/mayans" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">mayans</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/goals" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">goals</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/philosophy" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">philosophy</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd" property="content:encoded"><p>The Mayan Civilization used advanced techniques to measure the solar systems output of various energies.

You all have friends who don't have healthcare. But even more evident than that has been blatant misrepresentations of cures. Not only was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Ross_(drug_trafficker)">Rick Ross (the 1st biggest cocaine dealer in the USA early 1970s) paid &amp; supplied by the US government to bring in cocaine</a> during the end of the disco era and beyond into the 1990s. The government has since used this illicit substance as part of their many mind-traps for all members of society. Starting with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippies"> hippies</a> in the 1960s breaking free of societies traps (w/ the use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelics">psychedelics</a>), only to be introduced to substances that they had never directly planned on doing. Maybe if the government hadn't made this step, we would of had a full out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution"> revolution</a> back then, but nope... Now time is going on. The government pumps people full of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic"> alcohol</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downers">downers/ depressants</a>) which tend to make people more small-minded (or I should say weak minded, in that they don't think they can have an effect on such large problems because they only think about things close by on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclical_pattern"> cyclical pattern</a>. )</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><strong>So the government is about tying up an unquestioning "working" class to progress their plans... Maybe this would be more publicly acceptable if they provided adequate care for their workers, but seems not. It seems that a group of people are heading the decisions in a system that has been perpetuated upon them, without question or moral lacquer. I'm guessing that this is a "headless" network, much like that of the terrorist groups we are supposedly seeking out. The <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/2007-01-02-terror-war-business-usat_x.htm"> government studied Craig's List to learn about networks of people that can survive even if the main leaders are taken out</a>. Creating a perpetuating system of reinforcement of the ideals through a decentralized "head-less" network. SO if their ideals are centered around money. You guessed it. They want more and more. Now take in mind that this network of people has no head, but rather a secret power and concepts through their chain of human destruction. SO now this secret system has had time to grow and expand. At first it may have seemed America was going to turn out ok, but nope. This network of people has expanded and they have pushed it way too far. Its enough to purposefully dumb people down with drugs and the media, but its a whole new playing field when they threaten our privacy and most importantly our health.</strong> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"> <strong> ... and how they actually want you to be sick to make $$$. I have been saying to my family &amp; friends for over the past 12 months how the <a href="http://austinvlwheeler.com/blog/wp-admin/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic">logical</a> implication of the common doctors' <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predispositioning_Theory">predisposition</a> results in relatively a null value for preventative measure accuracy &amp; efficiency. They have a relatively low-probability of making a diagnosis of patients ailments and only slightly higher for the "resulting" treatments, care, &amp; advice. My theories were originally based upon the simple facts of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine"> Iboga (ibogaine)</a> being<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_and_American_health_care_systems_compared"> available in Canada, but not the USA.</a> This plant allows people addicted to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_drugs"> hard drugs</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine">cocaine</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin">heroin</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol">alcohol</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycontin">oxycontin</a>, etc.) to break their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_addiction">addiction</a>. I believe it can be accomplished in nearly one session. AMAZING STUFF. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine">Read more about the mystical ibogaine plant on wikipedia.org</a>. But US Gov't thinks this not good for its plans. They want people relapsing on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic"> booze (alcohol)</a> and anything they can <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergize"> synergize</a> with it (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco">tobacco</a>) to create the ultimate addiction. And those are the only available thing of mental power used for recreational use. WEAK.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"><strong>Those drugs are for the working people, not the people in charge (cause they can get whatever they want). I got angry when older adults around me were having problems of this sort. I suggested <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine">Iboga</a>, and they say "they don't need to put anymore chemicals in their body." Totally wrong. and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illogical"> highly illogical</a>.

Allowing the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_and_American_health_care_systems_compared">American "health" care system to "block" vital vitamins &amp; supplements that are available right over the border, thus keeping them out of the reach of the common US citizen.
