Everything deleted is real

Everything deleted is real Everything we thought was gone is real All thoughts and dreams and things known and unknown real as can be And what  is real is holy in its  sight

Car-free. compact cybercommunities

Car-free. compact cybercommunities provide the opportunity to revive old practices that work.

A child in a cyber-community would have a chance to see close up models for all manner of careers.

Apprenticeship will become a more and more commmon mode of completing an "education".

Education will be age-free. People of all ages will pursue things as they wish according to curiosity.

Schools in cybercommunities

Schools in cyber-communities could be small nodes built around all subjects of interest.

The driving energy behind education should be curiosity.

The driving energy behind achievement should be individually determined benchmarks.

Interest, not age, should be the major factor in the choice of one's studies.

Reject today's stratified living patterns

No small aspect of building cyber-communities is to give choice to those who reject today's stratified living patterns.

Building a car-free cybercommunity for 10,000 persons is no more challenging than creating a stadium that can seat 50,000.

The new pattern of shopping envisioned for cybercommunities creates expert-staffed, walk-to cyber-kiosks where purchases can be made for home delivery.

Kiosks in cybercommunities could be category-based, putting up on large screens the best and most economical choices from around the world.  

In America I see the interstate system is a boon to the growth of car-free cybercommunities in the areas least vulnerable to extreme weather.

The expense of living in a cybercommunity could be vastly less than the expense of owning cars and paying mortgage, upkeep and maintenance for a house.

C.S. Peirce, 'Collected Papers', CP 5.119

Therefore, if you ask me what part Qualities  can play in the economy of the universe,  I shall reply that the universe is  a vast representamen,  a great symbol of God's purpose, working out its conclusions in living realities.  Now every symbol must have, organically attached to it,  its Indices of Reactions and its Icons of Qualities;   and such part as these reactions and these qualities  play in an argument that, they of course,  play in the universe --  that Universe being precisely an argument.   In the little bit that you or I  can make out of this huge demonstration,  our perceptual judgments are the premisses for us  and these perceptual judgments have icons  as their predicates,  in which icons Qualities are immediately presented.  

But what is first for us is not first in nature.   The premisses of Nature's own process  are all the independent uncaused elements of facts  that go to make up the variety of nature  which the necessitarian supposes to have been  all in existence from the foundation of the world,  but which the Tychist supposes  are continually receiving new accretions.  These premisses of nature, however,  though they are not the perceptual facts  that are premisses to us,  nevertheless must resemble them in being premisses.   We can only imagine what they are  by comparing them with the premisses for us.   As premisses they must involve Qualities.  Now as to their function in the economy of the Universe.   The Universe as an argument is necessarily  a great work of art, a great poem --  for every fine argument is a poem and a symphony -- just as every true poem is a sound argument.   But let us compare it rather with a painting --  with an impressionist seashore piece --  then every Quality in a Premiss is one of the  elementary colored particles of the Painting;   they are all meant to go together  to make up the intended Quality  that belongs to the whole as whole.   That total effect is beyond our ken;   but we can appreciate in some measure  the resultant Quality of parts of the whole --  which Qualities result from  the combinations of elementary Qualities  that belong to the premisses ...

Triadic Philosophy affirms the equal rights of every person on the planet

Triadic Philosophy believes that some things are evil and must be named as such.

Most evils exist under the heading of conscious acts that are harmful.

Harm (evil) should be measured according to its effects and those who inflict it called to account.

Triadic Philosophy affirms the equal rights of every person on the planet.

Cyber means the capacity to create cities anywhere

We will gradually see that a city is nothing if it is not a living community that integrates all of life within its borders.
Cyber means the capacity to create cities anywhere.
A city needs at minimum a population of reasonable size and sufficient compactness to enable easy access to all of its points.
Cities created on the model of triadic world can exist anywhere.
The magic of cyber-cities is their inclusion of all the amenities needed for a full life within walking distance.
