The theory behind my proposal is that '''''knowledge is power'''''. The ''transparency of'' and the ''access to'' information, therefore, should be absolute. The Occupy movement, with its great number of supporters, has a chance to embrace advanced communications technology as a primary organizational tool.

It offers space for known facts and agreeable solutions, as well as for in-depth discussion. There are essentially no limits to the potential size of the website itself, nor to the number of collaborators. The open discussion space provided by the wiki is the most important ingredient. It means every issue can be hosted in its own space, but also grouped by relevancy. If the community truly supports ''discussion'', it may automatically birth documents appealing to the peaceful transition of our society.
I was recently asked to explain a comment I made saying, "I do everything for myself."
 
I take offense at much of society: I watch people and note motivations; I understand the flow of histories, both personal and ethnographic; I feel the pressures of society from every angle. I am drawn to helping society evolve on a massive scale, but I am held back by the many 'required' processes to establish oneself in the arena. I look up to those who '''exemplify the change''' they wish to see in the world, and I am determined to fight on my own terms.
 
The Occupation's views appear to be very nearly congruent with my own. Its occurrence is the first that I have felt truly able to contribute to society on a more than inter-personal basis. It is a chance to make a large-scale change that indefinitely improves the life of every human. When I note influential peoples, they almost always hold doctorate degrees in a social field. Almost all of them are professors or researchers or both, and I wish to contribute to their practices. I cannot outright contribute to their practices, however, because society views me as nothing more than a High School graduate, and I am therefore limited to only the most menial and depraving work.
 
By this awareness I have constructed the above pages. I wish for a free and just world, and I believe a global forum is the only way to accomplish such a goal. The health and evolution of the species relies on cooperation, but the current division of nations and socio-economic levels destroys our cooperative potential. The human race cannot evolve within these affairs, and I cannot consider any contribution of mine to be valid unless it contributes to the evolution of society. The process by which people in the 'modern' world are meant to 'lift' themselves is oppressive, and the acceptance of such a super-structure is leading to global collapse.
 
I ponder and weigh ideas only to increase my chances of ''feeling human.'' I employ the 'humanity' argument only because I see it as the only means of establishing my own comfort. I wish that all suffering would end only because it includes my own suffering. I am that which I am.
 
''"I am He as you are He as you are me, and we are all Together."'' <u>All is One.</u> This is the ultimate meaning of my life.

<blockquote>''The internet currently connects roughly 1 of every 6 persons. It is the primary vehicle by which we organize social movements. While there are pockets of fully connected/disconnected people, the diversity of voices known and represented expands rapidly. The internet implores in us an awareness of the sum of human knowledge; this is the Social Singularity. We must therefore organize a Global Forum dedicated to building upon that awareness, addressing the implications of a global, socially connected society. This will lead inevitably to the establishment of global working groups due to the naturally induced hierarchy of organized knowledge. This document suggests a possible commencement of that global forum.''</blockquote>

Eric is in the process of unifying the movement's many communication mediums within this wiki in order to host a more open forum. It is only in the existence of a public forum (avoiding the time constraints coming from daily/weekly meetings) that a true quorum of the 99% may be established.

The theory behind my proposal is that knowledge is power. The transparency of and the access to information, therefore, should be absolute. The Occupy movement, with its great number of supporters, has a chance to embrace advanced communications technology as a primary organizational tool. Information should be made as open and equally accessible as possible, and to be equally accessible it first must be simple and easy to use. I believe that the best tool for our collaborative effort can be this very wiki. The nature of a wiki is both collaborative and autonomous. It offers space for known facts and agreeable solutions, as well as for in-depth discussion. There are essentially no limits to the potential size of the website itself, nor to the number of collaborators. The open discussion space provided by the wiki is the most important ingredient. It means every issue can be hosted in its own space, but also grouped by relevancy. If the community truly supports discussion, it may automatically birth documents appealing to the peaceful transition of our society.
