We have entered a new era of 'once upon a time' where the appearance of mythical dragons signal the emergence of a conscious global culture.

Welcome to Discovery Fuel's "Changing Normal" Design Community !

FOLLOW VIC & D.F. ON TWITTER

This is a place to create networks and teams that are interested in collaboratively building communities and organizations based in principles of sustainable design, organizational learning, and social innovation. Are you a creator of technologies that are consciously developed and work for a growing planetary society? I'll be your host. Contact me at ChangingNormal@DiscoveryFuel.com.

This is a world of interactive knowledge transfers, applications exchanges, and exploratory connections. I may have initiated this collaboration effort for our Changing Normal society, but it's outcome is how WE as a collective create together. Sooooo, let me know what you think. What do you have on your mind? How would you like to support this community?

It is essential that the world collaboratively discover our collective global mythology. Only through this act can sustainable forms of innovation be created that can build a planet of whole, diverse communities that are united in the dance of an emerging conscious global culture.

Hey Vic,

Thanks for the invitation to debate. I've been up to my neck in alligators here at the farm. In the Spring--all hell breaks loose. 250 acres, hay fields, large garden, 16 Morgan thorougbreds and 5 dogs, building the city of light, and all that stuff.

Anyway my priority after getting all the fiddleneck out of the pastures (toxic to horses) and caring for the criters, is preparing for ascention. Don't want to miss the ride, especially since the last opportunity was 210.216 years ago as of 2000, when the current SAC (stellar activation cycle) started.

Call me, we'll chat if I'm on line. Skype mdajobs (541.255.3715)

Where in CA? I'm traveling in CA until the 28th. Now in Humboldt.

I've added you on Skype, waiting for your approval (Skype sometimes doesn't tell you). My id is chriswaterguy.

Thanks Vic,

Sounds great! Looking forward to chatting.

I'll wait before making a request - I think it will carry more weight if we come in together with the request, and show that we're already working seriously on this as a collaboration.

Hey Vic,

I thought I answered this ages ago (maybe I started to answer and my machine crashed - that was happening a lot):

"Does your sustainable technology wiki deal with the emergence of new products coming online? If yes, would you promote here? If not, let's start something."

At the moment we don't but that's always been part of our hope, that the community would write up and assess products in this way. I like the attempt I made to start some analysis on hybrid vehicles, but it needs a lot of filling out, and much more specific pages, on individual products and services.

What do you think?

Watched you videos. Maybe you did this intentionally, but "changing" is spelled "chaning "in the first graphic on the first video. Perhaps this is a way to see if people are watching this video. OK, I did. Might be easier to e-mail directly to enchantedkinship@yahoo.com

I run another ning community and I am impressed with how much work you have put into building this community. Thank you. You must stay up all night creating. Lets get a critical mass moving. I don't have a lot of time and I found the questions in the profile did not allow for much individuality, so it is hard to determine how to find people in similar fields. Aren't we all interested in it all? Is there a way to find out more what people are working on and where? My other network, which I do not manage as it is more self directed has people meeting up all over and doing things together. Is there a way this group could get more involved and help others with their projects ?

Introducing the new silo .... same as the old one :/

One of the biggest flags that I want us to watch out for is 'silo' reproduction. By this I mean that, as we build new structures to contain new knowledge, we must recognize and ask pointed questions about the silo's design. New knowledge held in (what are called) new silos, more often than… Continue

Intro Section I

CHAPTER #1 -- THE FOUNDATION

For some 2000 years or more civilization has been ruled by a social paradigm on which all aspects of the EuroAmerican cultures are been based -- the “dominator paradigm.” In the past 2 two decades a new social paradigm has been emerging that could have the most, deep, fundamental impact on human civilization since humanids first came down from the trees. The old paradigm placed humans in a purposeful universe created by some super normal power for t… Continue

Web Technology as Sacred


Digg!

The Web has reached a level of maturity where it can be viewed as an extension to our interconnected conscious selves. With the Planet now growing its own neural network (i.e. a global brain) 'Learning' takes on a new integral role as meta-teacher/student. This perspective brings a new dimension to our idea of 'global awareness' and stretches the meaningfulness of '… Continue

Orrrr ... Donating even just $3.33 will help keep this adventure going. Only three dollars and thirty three cents (3 is a magic number for me : ) A few green-backs (3 1/3 to be exact) start to add up. So your donation will actually go a longggg way in helping to 'change normal' : )


HELP KEEP THIS ADVENTURE GOING. Consider donating between $3.33 or $33.33 to help make it so. Email me, Vic Desotelle, if you have any questions.
