These are either rough drafts for papers or manuscripts begging to become books. Let’s call them ebooks in progress right now:
We include these unpublished writings to dig a little deeper into the background and development of “engagement density”, the “3 catalysts”, the J&A “16 solutions”, and the positioning of the J&A brand of social change they can do so. We will add other writings as they become presentable.
Billions In-Between and The New Nature of Statesmanship
This is an international development article written in the style of a Foreign Affairs article that suggests that we need to focus not on the hundred million at the top or on the bottom billions but rather that our hope lies in mobilizing the billions in-between to solve their own problems first. This concept was important to realize as the underpinnings of the J&A Center For Social Change first took shape clear back in 2009.
The Visual Tradition: The Coming Shift In Democracy
This is an attempt at framing the need for a new approach suggesting that the oral tradition was followed by the written tradition and that a subsequent visual tradition is developing now and will have a similar exponential effect on the written that the written had on the oral in freedom, money and power. This discovery was finally captured on paper in 2012, it introduces the context of engagement density but doesn’t yet introduce all of the physical and non-physical infrastructure and present a course of action yet like the J&A book.
This is a paper written as an undergraduate project in 2003 suggesting a new approach to time and how we can best engage time to make a difference both as an individual and society at large. A theory of time is here introduced using the New Future Cycle diagram. Perhaps one of the biggest postulates is in regards to the best moments in time to shift cycles of humanity.
Other future writings for reference we hope to make available:
10 Tenants of The Perpetual Education System (coming soon)
This paper outlined in 2003 as an undergraduate project suggesting that there are 10 ingredients to helping educate society in a way that the material delivered self corrects and is self propelled as it moves though society. This is a preliminary concept to the 6 parts of the “360º Method” that helps automate the local efforts of a social entrepreneur. We include this reference so you can be aware of how the content for this website and the book originated and to remind us that we need to prepare it to be available here. Thank you for your interest. Please contact us to set up seminars to help move this forward.
