...My Agenda!

To witness the world returned to Nature, once and for all.


I'm laughing too as I type this, as just a few years ago
I'd also brand any such statement ludicrous or the
sign of mental illness. But here's the rub....

My major and hobby is mathematics, in particular one
of the newest fields of math, complexity science. Which
is what chaos theory has grown to become.

With all my heart and mind I believe what math and science
teaches. And my hobby teaches me, the math is clear, that
the above statement ....is possible.

How can a 'shot be heard 'round the world'?

How, exactly, does that happen?

I've spent the last few years practicing on everyone
how to express the concepts involved without requiring
a reader do a year or two of extensive homework....
without the math and in plain English. After all, mathematical
equations are merely shorthand for the spoken word.
If I can't express them to anyone in plain English
then I don't understand the concepts.

Here's some of what complexity science has taught me.

How a tiny pebble can start an unstoppable avalanche.
A non-linear or cascading event where a tiny input
can have enormous or system wide effects.
And in the ...abstract, to allow application to any
system.

It's taught me the abstract form nature takes, so that
we can see, in any system, what is natural and
unnatural. A mathematical representation of
good and evil. Shouldn't morality be based
on rational thought?
http://www.calresco.org/sos/sosfaq.htm

And the chaos and complexity sciences has taught
me one more thing, that ties the above together.

Nature has taught that the exact spot where the
tinyest disturbance must create that avalanche
is at that point where a system is farthest
from natural. As in....

"When the Wall Fell"

Overnight the strongest 'wall' every built came
crashing down. What were the system properties
at the time that happened? The same as that famous
'shot' heard everywhere. The most unnatural system
possible, a very large and very rigid control structure
was suddenly exposed as vulnerable to ...everyone
.....at once.

Shock the sytem, and at it's weakest point.

This means that an abstract understanding of nature
can give us some very powerful tools. Namely how
to easily recognize system weak points, or its
weakest conditions, and how to have the strongest
effect with the smallest cause possible.

In terms of activism, the theoretical limit becomes easy
to find concerning the 'biggest bang for the buck'.


Or.....how a few people can change the world.


If a few people can have such a large effect on the
world, doesn't that mean anarchy and destruction?

No, the power of nature, evolution, is nothing to fear.
Because when a system is shocked in this manner, the
only thing that is imposed is a process of change.
A process of change that settles on the best possible
solution all by itself. And it only works on a system
already at or near bottom, or most unnatural.

When the entire world is dominated by such an evolutionary
process, I consider the world....'returned to nature'.

Utopia is not a place or thing, it's a process of change.
And once that process is understood, it wraps around
you like a warm blanket, and from that moment on
Utopia becomes a personal reality.

So, in looking around the world, I've been trying to find
the two or three greatest obstacles to creating a world
dominated by nature...and...are especially vulnerable
to this kind of non-linear change.

I settled on three things.

In the abstract....

First, we must understand the processes of creation.
Second, we must have the ability for sustained growth.
And third, connect the above two to ....everyone.

So, what systems or issues can best achieve those
goals, and are most vulnerable to non-linear tools?

In reality....

First, is life a fluke? Or the inevitable result of a universal
process? The one system that stands out is the question
of life on Mars. A lot of people on the fence, and pitting
Science vs Religion. Two very large and very rigid control
structures battling it out with the winner decided by
maybe a ...single microbe on a distant planet.

Second, the global warming/energy problems.
An issue that has been strongly under the thumb
of the few and the powerful. Teetering on the brink
of a new mandate being generated from the
grass roots.

And third, find a way of suddenly connecting these
two issues ...and...the entire world at a single
place and time.

Where and when is that non-linear .....sweet spot?

That place and time is completely obvious.

The largest dictatorship (unnatural) system in the
history of humanity is about to become the center
of the world stage with the upcoming Beijing Olympics.
The most polluted, fasted growing, energy hungry and
rigid system in the entire known universe is about
to find itself under the spotlight. It is their chance
to gain legitimacy and will be their point of greatest
system stress....vulnerability.

In and around the Beijing Olympics, a unique and timeless
opportunity will become reality. When the largest and most
unnatural system known will be at it's most vulnerabe moment.

A chance for a single tiny pebble to bring down the last of the
.....Great Walls.

The system dynamics of self fullfilling prophecies, such as
this small event at the 68 Mexico Olympics

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/Mexico_1968.htm
"Polls have indicated that their demonstration was the
6th most memorable event of the 20th century"


Perhaps the Beijing Olympics will provide a moment where such
a small symbolic 'disturbance' could result in nothing less
than returning the world to nature. A tiny symbolic pebble
like this....

It just might be enough to /convince/ 'them' that such a disturbance
is planned, not actually stage it. And their own over reaction
will see to it 'something' happens.

In the proper conditions nature...'finds a way'.

Convincing 'them' something is planned to poliicize the Olympics
is within the grasp of a few, or even one, person.

I intend to find out if the math is correct.
