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!
2) This
group is the trim tab for planetary management. Then
show them the list.
3) Remember:
only 7 layers between us and anyone on this list.
b) get something basic on
the web and hit mill.pco & :paradigm
shifters
for help
c) Kadija?
d) Jeff working on various
versions of funding proposals.

than, or replacement for, "netmeeting"
d) video conferencing
e) travelling, conducting
3 to 7 day seminars, worldwide
7. online presence & database ...
a) list of software options:
b) standard website
c) wiki website for group
participation ...
1) 2 rainbow
wiki bookmarks @bm.xls
2) dematerialism.wikispaces.com
d) infoselect
e) google docs
f) google apps, $50/yr
g) google groups ...
1) use google
groups Plan S to archive all my stuff!, but it
will lack organizational structure that way.
h) blog, vlog, blip.tv, wordpress.com
i) social networking sites,
myspace, facebook, etc.
8. media development ...
a) graphics, audio, video
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.
12. network with other individuals & organizations
...
a) and work with them
b) @bm.xls: :Paradigm Shift,

13. PDIA: Personal Development Industry Association
...

the new energy era
b) rewrite the "PD bibles"
c) see Personal Development
Industry, PDI, lists, here
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
or even
millions of years?

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!

1. This was the original basis for ps.doc, which
is the

deleted once I make sure everything
here is @ ps.doc.

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
