Some organizing principles

Themes

Another way of being as it relates to societal decline:  solving problems v managing conflict.  Our leadership wants to manage conflicts, it doesn't work diligently enough to solve problems.  Either the quality and attitude of the leadership improves, or we should change the leadership.  

The odds of this happening?  At this point, the former doesn't look good, but the latter looks like a real possibility.  However, there's no always or never to this stuff.

Standards

The truth is a slippery thing, but it seems that most conflict revolves around people who have taken a rather rigid position based upon their notion of what truth is.  The "gold standard" should be the truth, but truth is the first casualty in war.  When a war breaks out, anything can and does happen.  It is generally not a good idea to start one, or be surprised by one.  It is a good idea to be as prepared as possible for one, while doing the most possible to avoid one.


Goal:

To make money.  I'm attempting to be of service to readers who are doing what they can about the situation for their own interests, or even for decision makers who are looking for a better way of dealing with society's problems.

This may sound like it is presumptuous and way over my pay grade, but I have done a few projects that have worked over the years.  It hasn't led to fame nor fortune, but it has been a modest success.  What makes me qualified to claim these ideas will work?  I don't make that claim, but I'll make my best judgment, and you can take it from there.
