understanding lunacy001

Well,

Since the last time, I have been working on two science fiction stories that explore the ideas in this lunacy (that is what I’m calling them now). I have come up with three working titles, The Convergence, Domains and The Return of The Archetypal Man. Nothing as yet as to the plot, for now I just have the themes I intend to explore.

Also, because I got complaints regarding the length of the essay and my enormous number of grammatical errors, both of which I apologize for, I have prepared a concept map for this lunacy. You can use it, along with the summary of the essay I prepared to better understand the ideas I put forward.

I urge any reader of this blog to undertake the challenge of visualizing the concepts I proposed in the last lunacy, or come up with other cool titles; place it in the comments for discussion or discuss them on Google+ with me.

Thanks

Here is the concept map; it was created using free software available from www.cmap.ihmc.us. It easily draws up any concept you have in mind. It is based on work developed by Joseph D. Novak from the institute of human and machine cognition (IHMC). I’ll be using it a lot as from here on out.

It is colour coded, so that concepts can be grouped for easy understanding. I suggest you follow the arrows and read from top to bottom. It is also important to remind you to focus on “YOU” in the cmap (concept map).

Hope it makes the essay more understandable.
