       a) IMPORTANT note when describing Plan S & Fund Raising ...
          1) identify great funding sources, like Osteen, Templeton,
             Skoll, Omidyar, Paul Allen, Shakira, etc @ mill.pco and
             start the "mastermind draft trim tab" list!

       h) blog, vlog, blip.tv, wordpress.com
       i) social networking sites, myspace, facebook, etc.
    8. media development ...

       b) for web, book, DVD, YouTube, Google Video, Myspace, etc.
    9. research/database loading (archiving) ...
       a) see list with this same heading below @ "staffing, needs"
       b) put notes down there (not here!)
   10. study list, re-education list ...
       a) This is an immediate, highly abbreviated, subset of the
          research/database (here), that can be used by individuals
          to learn quickly about the many aspects of Plan S.
       b) It will go online ASAP, showing quick sources like
          websites, YouTube, DVD, books, etc. that can be used for
          self study.
   11. curriculum development ...
       a) This is for a more in depth, college level intensive study
          program, intended for people who want to master the Plan S
          database.

   14. PIC: Penturbia Information Center ...
       a) See if Jack Lessinger will cooperate in getting this going.
          It could be operated in tandem with coaching.
   15. personal and family coaching ...
       a) to assist people in making their own action plans and
          deployment of all assets in the context of Plan S: family,
          physical, emotional, spiritual, skills, job, financial,
          real estate, investments, 10 sided structures
       b) This can be done locally, over the phone, over the
          Internet, via seminars, etc.
   16. rewrite project: dieoff.org, latoc.net ...
       a) These sites need to be consolidated, merged and
          re-presented from the Plan S perspective.  Just like the
          PDI, the bibles need to be updated and rewritten.
   17. multi-generational materials ...
       a) ref Powerdown p 160 that mentions preservationist vs
          survivalist, ie. be a "preservationist lighthouse" during
          the dark age
       b) how many times have we wished that some past civ. left us
          better records of their knowledge?  pyramids, rosetta
          stone, quipa, mayan hieroglyphs, ancient astronomy, ancient
          surgery
       c) "getting it 100% right" like the Wright Brothers.  There is
          nothing that guarantees we will do this in our lifetimes.
          But what about future generations?  They will want to keep
          trying, and will need to learn from our failures and
          knowledge base.  We must pass our information and plans on.
          We have no way of knowing at what point in our species'
          development, we might "learn to fly" like the Wright
          Brothers did.
       d) There is nothing that guarantees electricity will be
          present for the entire duration of our species span.  And
          without it, there will be no Internet or way to pass
          information on electronically.  We need to pass on our
          knowledge, expecially this brain-mind information which is
          so new and not yet integrated.  Future generations deserve
          this bounty, so they can act on it if they so choose.
       e) It is essential to spread knowledge far and wide, since our
          normal, natural, genetic tendency is to forget what we have
          learned about not overshooting our resource base, and fall
          back into enacting our "more gene" pattern once again.
          Waking up to and discovering this information will have to
          be done by every generation to come.  This is a tall order.
          We must leave a wide trail to be successful over our entire
          species span.
       f) Seige of Leningrad, Nikolai Vavilov, saving seeds, genetic
          diversity (Gore, pg 281-2), save info/vital
          plans/connecting the dots, how much info has been lost or
          intentionally destroyed, that we can never recover now,
          because it was not carefully saved for future generations?
          Look at Egypt, the Mayans, the Inca.  There is so much we
          will never know.
       g) Their knowledge was either ...
          1) not saved
          2) saved, but not preserved
          3) saved, but intentionally destroyed by conquistadors
       h) planning for a multi-generational project
       i) getting acid free documents to the corners of the Earth,
          especially to cultures outside WC3
       j) promote the vision to "
       k) communicate with the meek in the dependence pyramid
       l) paper trail: win win! phase1 is important!  We win either way! ...
          1) By leaving a record on acid-free paper and getting it into
             peoples minds and libraries all over the earth, we move
             into our success.
          2) Build a sustainable/stable civilization, transforming
             directly from our failed WC3.
          3) If we fail at the above, at least leave a record of what we
             learned for future generations and civilizations as our
             species matures.
          4) Remember, we are still in diapers now.  Just because we
             fail today, doesn't mean we will fail forever.  Just as
             success as individuals is based on never quitting, success
             as a species is also based on never quitting!
          5) Consider that S-Day may be more likely to be adopted by
             future generations, since they will have the advantage of
             looking at failed WC3 from a distance.  They may be more
             likely to adopt an S-Day type scenario.  But without this
             body of information, that plan will be unavailable to them.
             So we need to leave the paper trail.
       m) ref Ran Prieur: "9. Save human knowledge" !!!
       n) translation into other languages
       o) research and consider engraving to other media (than acid
          free paper) that might last longer, perhaps for thousands

       a) This is where my decades of research gets properly
          organized, digitized and loaded, with the intent of
          eventually printing it on acid free paper, and/or other
          durable media for distribution to world libraries.
       b) This database can also be used by Plan S's opponents and
          skeptics.  i.e., ask "What's your plan?"  Here is a
          generalist's database.  Connect the dots in a different way
          that makes sense to you!

 G. Plan S Main: information structure here ...
    1. This was the original basis for ps.doc, which is the
       outline structure in Word.  The idea was to consolidate
       many writings and start a Plan S textual database.  This
       list and ps.doc are still very similar, and this can be
       deleted once I make sure everything here is @ ps.doc.

 F. Plan S, S-Day, basis and benefits, list ...
    1. [Now that pskb.xls exists, see if there are any other major
       items to be added to this list.]
    2. By taking the largest view (ie. scope, frame) possible, our
       current problems get reduced in relative size to almost
       nothing.  The result is refocusing: away from all the
       negative, doom & gloom, collapse, bad news, etc., TO:
       building a brand new civilization, excitment for our
       sustainable future together, joy, happiness.
    3. Happiness, contentment, fulfillment, moves predominantly
       from the material plane to the spiritual plane.
    4. Occam's Razor: As with Copernicus' heliocentric view (pub.
       1543), the gene centric view is applied, and suddenly
       simplicity becomes the order of the day.  Even Ptolemy
       (83-161 AD) stated that the simplest model should be used!
    5. circa 1648, 30 and 80 year wars, catholics v protestants,
       like Christianity v Islam (westphalia @bm.xls)
    6. Collapse finally spreads to planetary management and their
       scientific advisors.  Widespread worldwide consensus among
       scientists, who advise planetary management.
    7. Continuing to take little or no action will likely force
       the "fast boiled frog" scenario, which will spur a
       concerted response at the planetary management level.  This
       is better than the "slow boiled frog" scenario, which will
       not spur such a response.
    8. us-them thinking is defeated, as we come to understand our
       commonly inherited genetic programming and human nature.
    9. planetary management (TWO), is no longer seen as "them", or
       "evil".  the result is cooperation with this very powerful
       group of people, resulting in benefit to everyone.
   10. while we can't evolve new genes, we can evolve new memes,
       to create the needed paradigm shift.  [Nice tagline: "We
       can't change our genes, but we can change our memes!"]
   11. "telling the truth" by politicians, which has been
       tantamount to "political suicide", finally becomes possible
       and realistic.
   12. worldwide edict from planetary management, delivered via
       existing world (puppet) political, scientific and religious
       leaders.
   13. re-education for humanity, allowing paradigm shift.
       everyone gets a crash course in what they didn't know they
       didn't know.
   14. legal basis from planetary management, including planetary
       constitution, laws, law enforcement, tax structures,
       resource based currency and economy
   15. S-Day: installs resource based economy and accompanying
       memes (new stories to enact) that encourage long term
       sustainability, based on realistic prices of material goods
       and services (preserving rather than destroying Earth's
       remaining, surviving resource base)
   16. individuals unwilling to change after re-education & S-Day
       (despite benefits of doing so), will face law enforcement.
       there will likely be some disruption, however it will die
       out eventually as older folks die and are replaced by
       younger ones who grow up in the new paradigm.
   17. Everyone gets to keep doing whatever they're doing in the
       present, and is even encouraged to do so!  Waste-ers
       continue to waste.  People keep jobs.  Activists, NIH
       types, conservationists, continue on their course.  This
       helps move us to the day of reckoning faster, moves
       planetary managers and their scientific advisors along, and
       avoids a "grand age of depression".  If we choose, we can
       walk away from everything we learn here, and pretend we
       never heard it.  We can then continue to waste on the local
       level until S-Day arrives, without feeling any guilt.
   18. Because S-Day and the transition period create a safety net
       and softer landing, it is now possible to go into the
       largest population centers on earth, and start talking
       honestly to everyone, especially the under 40 youth.  These
       have been considered the areas most vulnerable to collapse,
       and have therefore been avoided more than more rural areas.
   19. defeats "grand age of depression" (Lessinger/Fiddler) due
       to re-education, legal basis, and resulting high degree of
       cooperation.  The planetary infrastructure changes in lock
       step, avoiding the grand tug of war.
   20. defeats destructive languaging and beliefs re. our species'
       "stupidity, ignorance and greedy natures" & "delusional
       thinking", which then become self fulfilling prophesies
       that keep us stuck in destructive patterns (of stupid,
       ignorant, greedy, delusional behaviors), and creates "human
       species low self esteem".  Creates high self esteem.
   21. defeats doom & gloom thinking and attitudes, that likewise
       contribute to viscious circle, self fulfilling behaviors.
       We all understand there is a plan and a time soon, when
       things will turn around planet wide, species wide.  Escape
       from captivity: establishes a place to escape to.  We are
       all gasping for air.  Finally fresh air to breathe.
   22. defeats Jevons Paradox, due to near 100% conservation after S-Day
   23. religion and science enter a new era of mutual
       understanding and cooperation.  scientists now understand
       why religion and spirituality evolved, and are vital to
       human survival, and embrace it.  likewise, religious
       leaders learn the scientific basis for religion, and come
       to understand that a natural law basis is essential to come
       to worldwide approaches to planetary management, across
       religious & cultural boundaries.  everyone gets to keep
       their existing religion, however most aspects become
       understood as allegorical, when viewed from the planetary
       management point of view.
   24. enter transition period (softer landing) to
       sustainability/stable civ. for the long term.
   25. allows face saving (i.e. coming out, unmasking) for all
       individuals, since everyone changes together, overnight.
       Everyone gets to come out of hiding ... out from behind
       their many layers of masks.  Friends, relatives, neighbors,
       employers, co-workers, religious leaders, scientists,
       educators, politicians, etc. get to come out without fear
       of retribution or loss.  We all get to "stop wondering what
       so-and-so really thinks", since the millennial layers of
       being so completely uniformed (grand ignorance, delusions,
       lies, lack of information, internal mental tug of wars)
       finally comes to an end.
   26. possibility of preserving some remaining fossil fuels for
       future critical uses, instead of the present course:
       blowing them in resource wars and endless attempts to keep
       the party going just a little bit longer (or "at least
       until after I die").
   27. softer landing, avoiding dieoff: when massive bankruptcies
       and job losses do occur (as they must and will), due to
       massive restructuring, a safety net is installed, avoiding
       freezing, starving.  Individuals will have a net under them
       while they find their place & calling in the new
       sustainable/stable civilization, or simply ride out the
       storm.
   28. war and most conflict at all levels of society becomes
       mostly obsolete, as most conflict is understood as
       religious/ideological and resource based, due to the "more
       gene" (based on our new gene-centric paradigm shift).  we
       move rapidly to states of understanding and cooperation.
       some conflict will likely remain, but at greatly reduced
       levels.
   29. related to war and conflict: "finger pointing", "it's so
       and so's fault", "so and so is to blame" type thinking and
       attitudes fall apart as we all come to new understandings
       in the new "gene-centric" paradigm shift.  we all come to
       understand that no one is to blame ... that we have all
       been enacting our genetic patterns.
   30. Re. "need to know, want to know" basis for spreading in
       depth knowledge of genetics, DNA, and the scientific,
       reductionist, mechanical nature of universal laws.  Not
       everyone will know everything, just as it is today.  There
       is too much information in the universe.  As in the
       present, people who ask questions and search for
       information will find it, however most people accept
       whatever is fed them by the memes of the prevailing
       culture/paradigm/civilization.  Since the scientific,
       reductionist, mechanical view can be depressing, it will
       not be offered in family, school, church.  Rather, it will
       be taught on a need to know basis, and will be available to
       those who want to know, i.e. seek it out.
   31. brings focus, vision and efficiency to the present
       confusion, cacaphony, unfocused and tremendously wasteful
       squandering of energies, as so many people spin their
       wheels persuing ineffective "remedies" to all aspects of
       collapse, mostly due to lack of information (i.e. the
       "green movement", being uninformed, Jevons Paradox
       unaware).  Great example: Carolyn Baker writes
       (CarolynBakerSwitchFlipped.htm):
       "I cannot help but note that as the Titanic was sinking it
       would have made no difference if hundreds of its passengers
       had collected endless buckets of water the ship had taken
       on and emptied it back into the sea, but it may have
       provided them with a momentary sense of participating in a
       'solution.'"
   32. paradigm shift, planned, rapid, controlled (with softer
       landing transition) ... versus ... unplanned, slow, messy
       and excrutiatingly painful (collapse, dieoff & eventual new
       civilization arising from the ashes).
   33. Plan S will have great appeal to many individuals in the
       "planetary management cadre", who have been positively
       affected by TAGR, Psycho-Cybernetics, and lead spiritual
       lives.  Skim the hundreds of Amazon.com reviews for several
       these books (several editions), to realize this is true.
       These people will be favorable to a plan that utilizes the
       same principles that Hill & Maltz write about, but for
       spiritual success, rather than material success.  The PDIA
       rewrites these books & other major "PD bibles", for our
       return to a dispersed energy era.  It is important to
       understand that they (planetary management) want MORE of
       whatever is currently in vogue, based on the memes of the
       day.  They want to win at the current game, whatever it is.
       They want success in wealth, status and love.  In our case,
       wealth is redefined in spiritual terms.
   34. Even if S-Day doesn't occur in our lifetimes, Plan S leaves
       a rich information base (database), which can be used by
       future generations to enact S-Day or some other version of
       paradigm shift, when our species is finally ready someday
       to continue its cultural evolution (i.e. growing up).

   36. plus, maybe add something about myself ...
       a) national fiddle champ, you get champion material
       b) no college degree, free to think outside the box
       c) had massive time to study due to v.s. lifestyle and world travel
       d) generalist thinking
       e) focus on hope, attitude changing
       f) personal development angle
 G. Religion, lists ...
    1. Plan S definition of religion ...
       a) See science def. below.  Religion is all knowledge that
          isn't scientific per Plan S def.
    2. importance of, positive aspects ...
       a) genetic adaptation, great survival advantage
       b) persistence against tribal enemies during battle
       c) persistence against forces of nature
       d) common belief system, tribal social cohesion
       e) low energy, spiritual path to happiness, contentment, fulfillment
    3. problems with, negative aspects ...
       a) inflexibility of thought
       b) stuck in a paradigm
       c) religious wars
       d) us-them thinking
       e) a means of control, often abused
 H. Science, lists ...
    1. lots of duplication here:
    2. re science, religion, and the need for agreement ...
       a) We need a means of reaching agreement on a wide variety of
          subjects, prior to coming up with a way to live sustainably
          under planetary management.
       b) The modern scientific method is the only known method ever
          devised by humans for reaching a high degree of agreement
          on any subject, across geographical, political, religious
          and cultural boundaries.
       c) While the scientific method is not perfect and doesn't
          always result in 100% agreement, after sufficient time for
          testing and assimilation, it often reaches 99%+ agreement.
          The very best religion can claim is shown in the
          adherents.org pie.  But this is a best case, since there is
          so much infighting within religions.
    3. Plan S definition of science ...
       a) A method of arriving at knowledge that produces massive
          agreement among scientists across:
       b) cultural, religious, geographical and political (boundaries)
       c) that can be used as a basis for common agreement, as we
          build a sustainable civilization for the long term.
    4. Plan S reason for this definition ...
       a) To establish a basis of agreement among planetary
          management's scientific advisors on the coming post S-Day
          planetary constitution.
    5. importance of, positive aspects ...
       a) only known basis for agreement across all scopes
    6. problems with, negative aspects ...
       a) Scientists often act like their religion counterparts.
          They covet their own theories, and reject other's theories.
          I.e. they enact their genetic programs.
       b) Scientists often find, say, and write, what they are paid
          to find, say, and write.
 I. science explains religion, list ...
    1. A reductionist view of religion, spirituality and the
       metaphysical world, from a scientific and evolutionary
       point of view.
    2. list from smallest entity to largest entity:
    3. particle, electron/proton/neutron, atom, molecule,
       macromolecule, DNA, base pair, genetic code (codon), amino
       acid, protein, brain, amygdala, limbic system, emotions,
       spirituality, religion


File: sad.txt

 A. journal, running notes ...
    1. when presenting, for each slide or concept ...
       a) Was this new info?
       b) Yes: rate -5 -1 0 +1 +5 ...
          1) -5 strong neg prominence, leave it out (or strong disagreement)
          2) -1 low neg bearing
          3)  0 no bearing
          4) +1 low pos bearing
          5) +5 strong pos bearing, high prominence in future presentations
    2. don't give in to move left or use buffered language ...
       a) Instead, list the caveats, and point out that action
          probably won't come until the pain is so great that a
          critical mass of the wealthiest realize that a dramatic
          change must take place.  They will need a plan.
       b) ref news article on addiction, and how they really need to
          be in the gutter to act!
       c) In regards to S3, If I compromised, it would be easier to
          just advertise dieoff.org, since Jay already has the bases
          covered.  The only big issues Jay misses are PDI and
          spiritual plane.
       d) This is why S3A and S3B are necessary.  Most people will
          reject S3B since they are unable to handle one or more of
          the caveats.  In this case, they have S3A to turn to, to
          build their own plan.  However, I know of no way to create
          a sustainable planetary society except for S3B, and I
          prefer to shoot for the stars.  It will be possible to do
