Thought Streams and WHITE PAPERS from the founders
Thought Streams are just that, literally a moment by moment, conversational
style stream of thought on a subject that catches our attention and weaves a
tapestry of thought around itself. Thought streams have not been researched, and
are shared to elicit new thoughts and ideas to help us all learn and understand,
so we invite your feedback below. Selected responses will be embedded in the web
site to facilitate further thoughts. Thought streams often elicit more questions
than answers. In contrast, White Papers generally combine new ways of
thinking with previously-experienced and/or well-researched material.
- 2003 -- Thought Stream 1:
Facing the New Reality (MSWord, 6 pages)
- 2005 -- Thought
Stream 2: Values, Knowledge and Value (MSWord, 6 pages)
