THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF SOCIAL STRUCTURES is an idea center.... Like a good parent studying ideas, ways and means for positive changes in a child's behavior, we hold an overview of America's social structures and think and study and work to improve our culture our social structure our paradigm. Come join with us! Our purpose is to study social structure and improve our social structure with creative and constructive changes. Creative "everyone wins" ideas. Come join with us! The Center seeks your bright ideas for creative change. We seek input from everyone. Finding good ideas is sometimes like finding raw diamonds rough and dirty in the field. We have thoughtful experts who examine these jewel-ideas carefully and clean, trim, cut and polish to bring out a jewel idea of incredible value. The Center then publishes and publicizes these bright gem ideas to see them grow and mature and go forth to effect their destiny: positive, creative changes in American social structure. Come join with us! The Center finds bright ideas, studies, discusses, examines, checks, revises, rechecks, prescribes and follows through, working to create a better world. To change things! Are we a "Think tank?" Yes, but also a major step forward. Not just a "think tank" but a "think fountain", an "idea fountain", offering clean, pure, fresh new ideas-water-water-water in the thoughtless, almost mindless deserts devoid of fresh-flower thinking and lacking many of the wonderful gardens and flowers of the human mind! Social structure involves all our laws and rules and regulations, all our mores, folkways, customs and taboos, all our concepts of right and wrong and how we ought deal with one another. It is one enormous, unseen, intangible, governing, string-pulling, decision-making force that virtually no one sees from a position of overview. Average people have mindset: The average person "knows" good and bad. This average person is also the average American voter--the person who votes and elects those who make the mindset into formal laws which, in turn, confirm the mindset, etcetera and ad infinitum. THE CENTER'S TARGET is improving our shared American human condition. There are an infinite number of possible approaches. Ours is through thinking (!)--using the world's most powerful computers--the human minds--looking carefully for the best of those supercomputers--the best of human minds--and asking the mind owners to share with The Center: Asking for the best supercomputer's owners for their very best products: New IDEAS! Our American social structure is our nation's center-core, heart-and-mind place-to-work and place-to-accomplish-and-achieve. As Persian poet Omar The Tentmaker wrote in his Rubaiyat (XCIX) some five hundred years ago: Remember Ross Perot on Larry King Live with his initial dream-ideas of United We Stand? Ross spoke to the American people with something new; with an alternative choice. Remember? When he turned over his flash card with his 800 phone number for the people to call, he almost blew the fuses at MCI's phone bank. They had 18,000 calls in the first minute. |
