A Thematic and End-Game Heads-up:
New technologies of communications and governance, such as the values-centric, empirical
Model for Community Change
(MfCC), can facilitate the re-creation of our polity. With thisModel, the delivery of
value
is directly connected to the expression of community
values
,through feedback-rich functional processes that describe natural relationships. For moreinformation about that Model and its application as the template for a definitive community-wide conversation, contactAlexander…Another helpful modern technology is the sophisticated, well-grounded, values-centric,empirical
 post
-post-modern philosophy to be found in
LILA: An Inquiry into Morals
, by Robert M.Pirsig (Bantam, 1991) — the
Metaphysics of Quality 
(MoQ), in which value is not inherent in
objects
, but in the
relationships
between them. The MoQ is a world-cultural synthesis ofexperience and philosophy, of empiricism and generalization; a new paradigm for pattern-recognition and priority-balancing. Because it codifies values and experience common to all

human societies, it represents a universal human values-system embedded through evolutioninto the human genome, and expressible at any time with appropriate environmental cues andconceptual support.
Social Enterprise Planning
(SEP) — is replacing stand-alone operational tools such as “strategicplanning” and “SWOT analysis” derived from market and business practices. As a methodology, itcan integrate the human enterprise into a less-corruptible and more-sustainable “systemspolity.” The MfCC provides the basic universal framework for a community-wide alignment,commitment, and engagement conversation that generates and implements an enterprise’s plan,and the MoQ connects the whole process to sufficiently objective reality (including science), andcompassionate clarity based on human values (instead of market values). That enterprise can bean individual’s life, an organization’s operations, or a community’s existence.Applying all three technologies together provides power to facilitate recognizing anddeconstructing our behavioral algorithms while re-creating and re-structuring a
conscious,
responsible
,
realistic, and chosen consensus engagement with our world. That
consciousness
isdistinct from the amorphous results of special-interest “social marketing” campaigns, such aspolitics in general, standardized education, global-warming indoctrination and religiosity, andjustifications for war.
