Social Change Engine SCE
We have been working & testing
a social change engine for 12 yrs.
Pre-social networks, Facebook, Twitter
etc.
We have gone from passive to active
SCE. Passive SCE is more restrictive,
You have to know what your
demographic wants then position
your self as a solution for that
want.
We started with a template to get
third world countries more financial
independence by explaining how
they could use the WWW to sell
things.
The active SCE targets your chosen
demographic with the TRUTH.
As you could guess its the terrorist
problem.
We have learned seeding, planting
the verifiable truth in the right places.
Relying on the 'goodness' of humans,
relying them to make the right decision.
Many years ago I took a course called EST.
It was all the rage at the time. One thing
I took away from the seminar was;"If
you tell it like it really IS, eventually
your word becomes LAW in the universe."
It seems to work.
One of the biggest problems was Id'ing
your target demographic and key
individuals in that demographic.
Then finding a way to introduce
paradigms to those people in a
manner they can hear the concept.
The percent of the demographic
you need to reach is surprising low.
Seeding, exposing the truth.
Some have offered very complicated
methods for SCE and they might work
This is a good example;

"Remember that enormous, sophisticated data operation the Obama campaign had? The one that gave them massive daily data on public opinion trends in almost every segment of potential voters.
It’s almost as if Democrats had access to some sort of huge database of real time information about what the public was reading or writing online. The kind of breathtakingly large, real-time data that could be used for real-time trend analysis, predictive modeling and even behavioral manipulation."
If that works NSA would have turned Iran upside down.

We have had some remarkable
successes, but the demographics
are tricky, and we continue to
refine the system.
And we have found SCE more
effective that BSU's & hacking.
Currently the system is manual
but could be automated.
It takes longer but we have more
control & assurances.
A few years ago the Chinese invited
me to give a presentation on our
SCE in China. I declined.
Social Change is possible,
the Islamic 'Springs' are evidence
of this, and done by regular citizens,
for their own motives and at their
own will.
Using an organized system can
facilitate and speed up that process.
But if its not based on truth it will
fail.
AQ has seen the failure based on
a false paradigm.
