211603 - Received a letter from Jerry saying simply....

211605 -    1.  Subject: A question
211606 -        Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 09:04:20 -0500
211607 -        From: Jerry
211608 -        To: "Rod Welch

211616 -  ..
211617 - This is rather broad question.
211619 -  ..
211620 - Sent at email to respond saying....
211621 -
211622 -        Dear Jerry,
211624 -         ..
211625 -        Responding to your letter asking "What do you believe in," and
211626 -        having been up for several days hammering on ethereal meanings
211627 -        of knowledge, intelligence, et al, the first reaction was to
211628 -        offer up that of course I believe in "love!", since that is a
211629 -        popular answer to a generic question that comes up often on
211630 -        television game shows.  Then thinking further for a more
211631 -        considered construction, much thought and reflection yielded a
211632 -        firm belief that the Quarter Pounder is a better nutritional
211633 -        value than the Big Mac, except, for some reason that nobody has
211634 -        been able to determine, the Big Mac is often the equal or even
211635 -        a smidgen better than the Quarter Pounder on Wednesdays. I have
211636 -        a theory on this but it takes too much time to relate here.

212001 - Called Jerry about the scope of the draft agreement on SDS, as
212002 - reported in another record today, ref SDS 14 SG3M, after discussing
212003 - the draft agreement, Jerry said he got the email, per above, and
212004 - appreciated the humor, ref SDS 0 SB45, given the general scope of his
212005 - question. ref SDS 0 0001
212007 -  ..
212008 - Jerry related that last night he was going over POIMS with his oldest
212009 - boy, who has graduated from high school and is headed to college in
212010 - the fall.  Jerry indicated that his son has become somewhat interested
212011 - in POIMS.  The two of them were reading through POIMS together and
212012 - came across something that led to the letter this morning as a way to
212013 - compliment the ideas in POIMS. ref OF 3 5418 and ref OF 4 6528
212014 -
212015 -     [On 030818 Jerry sets a strong moral example for everyone.
212016 -     ref SDS 16 HS67
212018 -  ..
212019 - This presents several helpful scenarios....
212020 -
212021 -    1.  It is gratifying when people, especially young people, review
212022 -        ideas carefully enough to grasp concepts and philosophy that
212023 -        justifies inquiry on advancing civilization, as set out in
212024 -        POIMS. ref OF 4 6528
212026 -         ..
212027 -        Would be nice to get feedback on which ideas were attractive by
212028 -        using explicit links to the specific language in POIMS, as
212029 -        related on 020726. ref SDS 3 636G  One thought is that Jerry
212030 -        and his son may have clicked a link and entered NWO, where
212031 -        there are a number of themes that relate to basic beliefs.
212032 -        ref OF 13 7055  Without a link, we are flying blind.
212034 -         ..
212035 -    2.  Engaging people in the philosophy of SDS, as related in
212036 -        foundaitonal documents, e.g., POIMS, NWO, TDS, is a first step
212037 -        to building a circle of advocates for spreading the word wide
212038 -        as the waters.  This is an essential and powerful step toward
212039 -        transformation, as related by Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld
212040 -        on 020131. ref SDS 2 6L5K
212042 -         ..
212043 -    3.  Engaging students, like Jerry's son, shows potential for
212044 -        college papers to be written on POIMS and NWO that further
212045 -        build a foundation for a culture of knowlede.

920806 - Jerry indicated during our call that he now has a plan for working
920807 - with management and colleagues at CSG to transition from reliance on
920808 - traditonal printed documents to using SDS for Knowledge Space, based
920809 - on interaction with his son, Johathan, reading through POIMS.
920811 -  ..
920812 - Jerry related that last night he was reading through POIMS online with
920813 - his son, and initially Jonathan, suggested that they print POIMS for
920814 - review and study.  As a result of discussions on 030718, when we
920815 - reviewed advantages of reading SDS records and foundational documents
920816 - online, ref SDS 13 IE5N, Jerry proposed that they first spend about 10
920817 - minutes or so looking at POIMS on line.  Jerry observed that his son
920818 - began clicking a few links and soon realized that printing POIMS as a
920819 - document would eliminate access to connections that provide support
920820 - and context to understand the ideas presented.  Realization and
920821 - success working with SDS and foundational documents online, reduced
920822 - the common inclination to print documents.  On 000208 this scenario
920823 - was described in relation to cultural adjustments for prior advances.
920824 - ref SDS 1 Q44N
920825 -
920826 -      [On 030929 Jerry plans to mention the idea for Tom Gilbert, who
920827 -      has been assigned to make an initial review of POIMS, to do this
920828 -      online, rather than print POIMS and other foundational documents.

920832 - This record shows a powerful story of transformation with a parent
920833 - helping the kids grapple with a core issue of the 21st century.
920834 -
920835 -      [On 030729 reviewed advantage of balancing benefits of privacy
920836 -      and confidentiality with advantages of transformation to a
920837 -      culture of knowledge, which requires records on the Internet that
920838 -      enable people to have immediate access to context and support
920839 -      that refines accuracy of understanding, ref SDS 15 UL74, when
920840 -      people gain exposure to learn benefits of a connected record,
920841 -      soon they say Gosh, I get it! ref SDS 15 UL87
