guidebook
Fortunately, your experiences here are likely to become some of the most notable moments of your existence.
Improving your leadership will also enhance your notability in the minds of relatively well-informed persons.
If this is actually your first time here, welcome.
Where have you been?
Do you usually attempt to read a guidebook before embarking on a tour or do you often read guidebooks after completing tours?
Perhaps many tours bewilder you rather than enlighten you, with or without a guide.
How much did you pay to access this guidebook, and this library, and to whom?
Which books have you already read, whether here or elsewhere, to help you improve your leadership, your guidance and your notability?
If you have a notebook handy, what have you most recently written or doodled in it, and why?
Guidebooks are usually purchased on the recommendations of tourists, tour guides and/or the publishers of guidebooks.
A guidebook is not a textbook.
Understanding a textbook usually requires the assistance of a suitably trained teacher.
Indeed, textbooks are usually purchased on the recommendations
of teachers and/or textbook publishers.
A guidebook can quite easily be studied without the guidance of a tutor, at least by adequately competent readers.
What sort of reader do you happen to be, and how do you know?
Perhaps you are seeking an audio-visual guide rather than the less animated variety.
What would help you to understand this rather unusual library better than you do at present, and how do you know?
If this virtual library had been designed for coziness, you may have regarded it mainly as a place for relaxation. It is intended, of course, primarily as a place for study, even if you find such a pursuit to be quite relaxing.
How and where do you usually study your own leadership?
How and where do you usually attempt to implement theoretical possibilities for the potential improvement of your leadership?
Guidebooks should not necessarily be regarded as instruction manuals, particularly as
situations can often change without notice between the publication of
various editions.
You may or may not regard guidebooks as particularly educational. They may, however, shape your expectations of particular locations and experiences.
You may expect a good guidebook to recommend additional, preparatory readings.
You may expect a good librarian to do likewise.
Are you involved in the manufacture of keys and/or doors and/or windows
and/or stories and/or guidebooks and/or textbooks and/or education
systems and/or political systems?
Are you involved in the restoration of cottages and/or other dwellings?
Are you involved in seeking out good investments, with or without the
assistance of a key or a guide or an understanding of construction work?
The interpretations presented within various versions of a guidebook may be confusing if they differ considerably.
Similarly, different people may interpret a guidebook very differently, just as they may interpret objects and people and events and locations differently.
Did you enter Frugality Cottage today with a key and/or with a guide?
Did you enter through a door or a window or a keyhole or a rabbit hole or a looking glass?
If you are a regular visitor to this library, you may have registered as a patron, volunteer and guide here in Frugality Cottage by now.
How do you usually assess books, their authors, their covers, their editors, their shape and size and reputations?
You may expect a guidebook to provide you with a wealth of information.
If you are currently looking for an excellent guide to Adelaide, how do you usually define excellence, and why?
A good guidebook helps users to acquire accurate expectations and informed perceptions of destinations.
What is your acquaintance with the guides to research often to be found in good libraries?
Where do you hope your investigations will lead at present, and why?
What is your acquaintance with the history of guidebooks?
What do you know about the necessity for silence in libraries?
Where and how do you usually learn about the development and maintenance of civility?
You may usually associate libraries with the possibility of acquiring enlightenment of one sort or another.
You may even associate libraries with books.
But what do you associate with guidebooks?
Perhaps you associate guidebooks with advice to assist your planning.
Perhaps you associate guidebooks with tourists, particularly those with an interest in history and/or the arts and/or picturesque locations.
You may associate guidebooks with regular editing, especially if they are reasonably up-to-date and accurate reference sources.
Or perhaps you are seeking an ancient periplus or a natural history of the platypus.
You may wish to peruse an itinerarium or enhance your knowledge of the geranium genus or the pelargonium genus or the mind of a genius.
How do you usually assess library records in relation to the topics of most interest or relevance or importance to you?
How do you usually prepare yourself to take part in important dialogues?
You may associate good guidebooks with preparing for the future appropriately.
Where do you usually contribute to dialogues about the future?
You may associate guidebooks with improving your life in some way.
But what do you associate with improving life on Earth?
Perhaps you do not think my approach to improving life on Earth is particularly reasonable or productive.
Yet I know that the only really effective way to improve any situation is by helping to improve the way people think.
Plato agrees.
Mozart thinks it is more important to encourage the improvement in people's tastes.
Queen Adelaide thinks it is most important to encourage improvements in the way people behave.
What have been your experiences of standing on the shoulders of giants?
What have been your experiences of reinventing the wheel?
I have long been interested in protecting amazingly beautiful landscapes
in the physical world from harm. Unfortunately, that protection has been quite
impossible to achieve, given the political and demographic realities to
address, including the incompetence of journalists in relation to reporting the truth.
Perhaps you attempt to report the truth through twitter or another social media venue.
Perhaps you do so as an expression of your philanthropy.
You may expect this guidebook to be much like an Adagia, with or without translations of Latin phrases and/or ancient Greek ones.
You may even expect to explore mysteries.
But what does your leadership need?
How has Twaklin informed your leadership?
Who usually informs you about the theory and practice of well-informed kindness as an indication of enlightened leadership?
Platitudes are always tedious to me, and to Twaklin, and Queen Adelaide, and various philosophers and composers associated with the Adelaidezone.
We are not interested in superficial comments and ill-reasoned opinions.
We are interested in purposeful reviews of quality practices.
Who usually attempts to guide you towards enlightenment, particularly in relation to well-informed investing?
What is your current approach to investing in awareness, and why?
Perhaps you have been doing so through attending storytime here, or elsewhere.
But how have you contributed to guidebooks about the public interest?
Everything I do is in the public interest, even when acting privately.
You are currently interacting with the words of a persona I occasionally present to the digital public.
For reasons of privacy and safety, the persona called The Author.
I have no interest in contributing to fights of any sort.
I have also done my best to avoid taking flights, for many years.
I want all people to take their cultural and political leadership responsibilities seriously.
That cannot happen easily for any person with human or animal dependents to manage as an understandable priority.
Your current priority is apparently to read this guidebook, even if you do not yet regard yourself as one of the official patrons of this library and/or various ethereal and/or groups, organisations and activities in this digital vicinity.
Which guides to politics have you found useful, and why?
Which guides to economics have you found useful, and why?
There is nothing more I can do without your assistance to transform politics for the better in the 21st century, in any part of the world.
I have already provided all the necessary guidance, with the assistance of Twaklin and her associates.
There are no people in political leadership positions willing to provide the laws I require, or the leadership life on Earth urgently needs.
How are you investing in suitably clear boundaries, and how do you know?
I know that parliaments and other legislative chambers, and governments and other public administrations, are not "elected" by the people.
Parliaments, for example, are mostly filled with people filling the criteria established by political donors and the self-serving leaders of various self-serving organisations.
Leadership is all about providing guidance.
Good leadership is about having a satisfactory sense of direction, an informed understanding of the journey along the way, and accurate expectations of the selected destination.
My earlier goal, of course, as part of my former public mission, was to
help you make the world a much better place than it would be without
you.
I am seeking evidence from you on what my next goal should be.
Which world have you been attempting to make better, and is it the real one?
How carefully have you distinguished between the Earth and the world?
How have you been attempting to improve the Earth itself?
As usual, I am investing in peacefully authentic living by investing in anti-establishmentarian necessities.
As corruption is established far too deeply in every society, addressing it requires peaceful yet unexpected responses, possibly including quite radical ones.
How have you most recently been investing in knowledge, apart from attempting to read this digital guidebook and the various notes I have provided to you in this library?
My privacy is obviously very important to me.
Your privacy is also very important to me.
How are you investing in privacy?
How should I consider you now that my public mission has well and truly been accomplished?
You apparently regard my questioning of you as rhetorical.
Yet all my questions to you are associated with the achievement of quality outcomes.
All good guidebooks serve a similar purpose.What experience have you already had towards investing in amazing successful planning?
You may have noticed that Frugality Cottage is suitably clean.
That is why investing in better governments is possible from this location.
Most people in positions of leadership within communities, societies and international organisations fail to
acknowledge the variety of problems people face on a day-to-day basis.
How do you prefer to acknowledge the problems you have faced?
How do you prefer to acknowledge the problems you are likely to face in the future?
How do you acknowledge problems other than your own?
Real leaders try to understand their own needs accurately.
When people ignore their own needs, they fail to understand limits.
Real leaders understand limits.
Of course, you and I could forget about investing in justice
and ignore the need for constitutional reform in various parts of the
world. But such a choice would not help to make the world, or the Earth, a better
place than it would be without us.
Who have you been guiding, and how do you regard those persons?
Perhaps you mistake the people you serve for the people serving you.
If you have followers you would describe as fans, how do you set a good example for those persons to follow?
To improve my mental and physical constitutions, I have long been investing in the experience of art.
Perhaps all constitutions should be artistically composed, with or without assistance from the global Mozarty Party
What do you regard as progress, whether on a physical journey or a political one?
How do you know whether you are following a guide to reality in any particular situation?
What do you know about the Civility Party of Australia and its contributions to local and global leadership?
What are your own contributions to local and global leadership, and where is your evidence?
Everything officially associated with the Adelaidezone is associated with important topics.
The Council of Enlightenment is only willing to collaborate with enlightened beings.
The Spirit of Enlightenment is only willing to mentor pleasant persons possessing a talent for enlightened leadership.
With whom do you currently collaborate, and why?
To whom have you most recently supplied mentoring, and why?
How have you most recently been a recipient of tutoring and mentoring?
Real world leaders do not experience pride when achieving a goal. Instead, they feel relieved when the goal is achieved.
They tolerate well-informed admiration of their achievements but detest adulation. They are not interested in acquiring fans, except when seeking to keep cool.
They maintain dignity through well-developed personal boundaries.
They do their best to avoid hubris.
They have no interest in seeking fame.
They are entirely devoted to maintaining the reasonableness, civility, compassion and honesty of their credibility.
They know than real leadership has nothing to do with the control or acquisition of money, except through the practice of intelligent frugality.
How well have you been investing your time in learning enlightening crafts and developing leadership skills in practical ways?
There is no point in attempting to become one of the registered patrons here if you have no talent for appropriate leadership.
Few persons in leadership positions, anywhere in the world, have ever possessed such a talent.
To ensure Frugality Cottage is never overly crowded, human fans are
actively discouraged from arriving here. Such persons tend to be ill-informed enthusiasts rather
than real world leaders. They devote too much attention to their
obsessions and not enough towards creating world peace, preventing
wastefulness, being nice to nature and being acceptably pleasant human
beings more generally.
After passing through the social media gateway into the garden of Frugality Cottage, you will have noticed that the
pathway widens. There are also smaller pathways leading from it,
winding their way through the garden.
There is no lawn. There are gravel paths and brick paths and mulch paths, for those able to venture along them.
Plants tumble and jumble. There is no heavy pruning. There is no topiary.
Every specially planted plant in the garden has human uses.
The weeds are never killed with chemicals. They are made into compost.
The soil is healthy. It is alive.
How do you usually think about life?
How are you currently investing in life, and how do you know you are doing so reasonably well?
Real leadership does not involve parasocial relationships.
Nor does it encourage parasocial interactions.
Real leadership encourages everyone to become better at leadership.
How do you attempt to lead by example?
Would you like the guide to lead you on an adventure into your true feelings and true history?
My expertise is often sought by enlightened leaders associated with the provision of quaternary education.
Who seeks your expertise, and why?
I prefer working with ideas rather than directly with people. I have trained several assistants to work as supervisors on my behalf, at least in terms of the less demanding aspects of my job.
How do you compare leadership with patronage?
I, of course, do not require any financial patrons, for any reasons whatsoever.
I do require supportive patrons in other ways, particularly as I prefer not to perform any administrative tasks myself, or any other sorts of drudgery for that matter.
I do not have time.
And I much prefer a quiet life. That is how my creativity arises.
I have never curated aspects of my life for public perusal in an effort to acquire money from the public. I have, instead, done so in the public interest, for the common good, as a contribution towards enhancing civility in the world.
I hope you are adequately in the picture about my life, and your life, and all lives.
If you wish to hear my voice, whether as I speak or as I sing, why do you wish to do so?
How much are you willing to pay to hear my speaking voice, and in which context?
How much are you willing to pay to hear my singing voice, and in which context?Perhaps you are not currently seeking information on ways to become a better human being and a better world leader.
How do you know when and whether you have gained sufficient access to reasonableness and truth?
How do you know whether you have been finding accurate answers to your questions?
What are your current sources of income?
If you only have one income source, why is that the case?
If you have no income source at present, how did that problem arise?
If you currently have no income or an excessively low income for your needs, how well are you coping with difficulties if not through the cautious use of your savings for cautious spending purposes?
What sort of life are you currently leading and how does it compare to your imagined ideal of an authentic life?
Where have you most recently been investing in enlightened productivity and how do you know?
If you are seeking to make productive use of this guidebook over the next few minutes, hours or years, how do you intend to do so, and what sort of guidance will you quite likely seek in that regard?
The volunteer guides in Frugality Cottage are kept busy, responding to questions. They usually respond by asking questions of their own, of course.
How do you know your questions are associated with your attentiveness rather than your inattentiveness?
How will you guide yourself to a truly beautiful place today or tomorrow, or at any time in the future?
Perhaps you regard this virtual library as quite beautiful.
The newest information on the noticeboard of Frugality Cottage appears at 7 o'clock in the morning, local time, each Monday.
If you have already become a patron of Frugality Cottage itself, and of at least a few of the activities within it, this may be a good time to consider volunteering to be a guide here, at least when the cottage is open to the public.
How honest do you regard yourself as a guide, and why?
How honest do you regard me to be as a guide, and why?
What have you already discovered about the cottage and visitors?
What have you already discovered about investing in the Adelaidezone?
There are many types of keys and many sorts of doors and many types of guides in the world. They are all products of culture.
There are many types of mats and many types of visitors and many types of investments. All are associated with culture.
There are many types of frocks and many types of rocks and many types of locks and many types of handles and many types of cottages and many types of proof and many types of roofing.
You are likely to be well aware, by now, that Frugality Cottage is not
currently the residence of anyone. Nor is it a touristy sort of
location, even though most of the persons arriving here do so as virtual
tourists of the self-guided variety.
In politics, and in society more generally, there is often an absence of genuine virtue. There is often aggressive behaviour including passive-aggressive behaviour.
On the right of the political spectrum is the identity politics of delusional superiority. It is often associated with misguided beliefs about race, gender, socioeconomic status, former and ongoing educational affiliations, religious affiliations, political affiliations, sporting prowess, military activities, language attributes, tastes and/or national identity.
On the left of the political spectrum is the identity politics of groupthink and contrived solidarity. It is silly and selfish, and possibly even cowardly and/or delusional, to comply with known unreasonableness of any sort.All aggressive competitiveness is self-indulgent. It may misguidedly be viewed as playful. It is, instead, an expression of hostility, even towards the self.
When people aggressively compete with each other, and even compete with
themselves, they fail to be true to themselves. They fail to
acknowledge the true and the good. Instead, they fall into the trap of self-indulgence.
How do you prevent yourself from being abusive or otherwise self-indulgent and/or spiteful?
I have found that many misguided people either mistake aggression for amusement or they mistake aggression for seriousness or they use aggression in place of amusement and seriousness.
That indicates they have never experienced appropriate leadership and are unlikely ever to provide it themselves.
For many years, I attempted to welcome the ordinary public into my world as suitably as possible.
Yet
ordinary people really only want to stay within their own world. They
want me to conform to their expectations, even when it is physically and
mentally and morally and financially impossible for me to do so.
For many years, I tried my best, with patience and courtesy, time and time again, to improve my relationships with bullies. Yet bullies always take advantage of such situations.
I did not realise, at the time, that the persons involved were bullies. I merely thought they had high expectations of me. I did not realise that I had the right to be treated with patience and courtesy.I have welcomed you into my creative world quite often over the past decade or so, through a sense of duty.
My duty is not to please people directly. My duty is to improve the world. I believe you have a similar duty.
I have taken very serious vows and therefore continue to seek the improvement of the world for as long as I am able to make a contribution, with or without your assistance.
I additionally have a duty to admonish you as gently as possible.
Unfortunately,
I am yet to receive
sufficient evidence, either directly or indirectly, that you are worthy
of my attentiveness and concern other than through my admonishment
services.
For the next stage of my existence in the world of ordinary mortals, which may possibly be very short indeed, I hope to continue assessing who is deserving of my time and attention, and my use of other resources, and who is not.
You may be wondering whether there is any point in answering my questions, whether you consider yourself to be a well-informed and kind world leader or not.
I am mainly interested in improving your leadership and other investments of time.
How do your investments compare with my own?
I am not seeking to persuade you to do anything. I am merely attempting to invite you to learn how to improve your leadership.
How do you intend to help me recover from that suffering?
Only my experiences of kindness and the practice of writing and the expression of good faith and the enjoyment of good food and peace and good humour and good company and beautiful old furniture and beautiful art and beautiful orchards and healthy gardens and flourishing natural surroundings make my life feel worthwhile.
What makes your life worthwhile?
I am appreciative when people appreciate the writings I share. Even so, I write mainly because it gives me pleasure, most of the time.
Without the ability to write notes for your perusal, I would have very little power at
all.
And I know that all power corrupts, as does most influence.
That is why I am not seeking any more power. I only wish to ensure overly powerful persons do not have excessive influence over my life, and yours.
Many
people have made unfair demands on my time over my lifetime, hence I am
very well aware of what is a delightful invitation, what is a
reasonable request, what is a lovely opportunity and what is a rude
demand.
Perhaps you are seeking this digital guidebook to be a guide to life, but whose life?
Perhaps you have mainly expected my notes here to be entertaining in themselves rather than enlightening.
Perhaps you value entertainment more than enlightenment.
Perhaps you arrived here seeking a well-informed guide to help make you rich, or to help you conserve your current wealth.
As I have unfortunately found that most people prefer topics I consider to be boring, such as ignorant opinions about trivialities and various stupid ideas about public policies, I prefer to invest in relationships and reforms in ways of my own choosing, subject to suitable guidance from the Spirit of Enlightenment and the Council of Enlightenment.
I especially wish to contribute more effectively to world peace. I also wish you would do the same.
Most assessments in the ordinary world of mortals do not assess reality
at all. That is especially the case for ordinary self-assessments.
I
have mostly found people's ideas of normality to be boring, primarily
as a consequence of their inaccurate opinions, irresponsible
extravagances and unfair assumptions about me and the wider world.
Their misguided self-assessments have been particularly tedious from my point of view.
How do you compare local life with global life and community life?
How much do you value your life?
How much do you respect scarcity, and how do you know?
How much do you value peace and privacy and quality and frugality, and where is your proof?
Through my former experiences as a volunteer virtual tour guide, I had
usually been expected, by the Council of Enlightenment and/or by the
Spirit of Enlightenment, to consider sharing importantly useful
information with strangers, such as yourself, yet most people are merely
interested in interesting information, not important information.
As
a continuing volunteer, but no longer a tour guide, I am obviously not
paid in monetary ways to share important information with you, or even
merely interesting information.
How have you already advanced your education in this digital vicinity, and how do you know?
If you are seeking specific guidance from me, what are your questions and why do you think I will have the answers you require?
If you think I may have answers you are likely to value highly, how will you assess the worth of those answers?
What have you been learning by investing in useful studies, and where, and how?
If you have experience of volunteering, whether here or elsewhere, how has it improved your leadership?
My duty is to guide cultural practices in the most respectable direction, namely towards New Nilkawt. Perhaps you wish to assist.
Appropriately accomplished patrons have the chance to learn how to guide imaginative and unimaginative visitors safely around Frugality Cottage.
That first requires considerable knowledge of the history of the cottage, and of the world.
It also requires a sufficiently advanced acquaintance with various crafts and other skills, including the communication skills associated with enlightened empathy and insightful statecraft.Where have you already sought opportunities for your further improvement, and why?
For health reasons, both physically and psychologically, I prefer to
focus my attention on enjoyable efforts, whether I am writing, reading,
assessing investment options, conducting research, developing remarkable
technologies, providing guidance to my assistants, helping
to run a household, practicing philanthropy, maintaining my marriage,
conserving natural and cultural resources and heritage, advancing science, encouraging
the arts, or attempting to support the improvement of public policies and various communities.
How have you been addressing urgency?
Assessing whether an investor or political candidate or philosopher or guide to religious or spiritual or business practices is good, or not, is a highly skilled occupation, of course, which is why your advanced skills are required for the task.
Where have you been providing enlightened patronage?
Unfortunately, I have yet to find any sign that you have a talent for political leadership.
That is obviously very disappointing. It is especially disappointing for the Council of Enlightenment under the wise guidance of the Spirit of Enlightenment.How have you been supporting public interest journalism?
What do you understand about enlightened leadership?
How are you contributing to the improvement of civility in the world?
What do you know about various projects associated with Frugality Cottage?
Where have you been learning about, and implementing, necessary ethics?
How are you contributing to political pleasantness?
What do you know about the enlightened being of political kindness?
How have you responded to the compositions of the global Mozarty Party?
What do you know about the Civility Party of Australia and/or the Australian Political Reform Club?
What have been your most notable contributions to political philanthropy?
How do you usually transform your privileges into investments in the public interest?
How are you already investing in advanced decision-making practices, and where?
How, if at all, have you been supporting the peaceful activism of Queen Adelaide and myself in terms of the satire we encourage?
You may have noticed that Queen Adelaide is often ethereally here as The Moderator.
How well have you informed yourself about Frugality Cottage?
How, if at all, have you been supporting the peaceful activism of the Revolutionary Climatological Needlepoint Committee?
How are you investing in reasonable momentum, and how do you know?
Over the years, quite a few people have misguidedly sought to develop
friendships with me when they have really only wanted my (unpaid)
therapeutic assistance and/or voluntary support. They have offered me
nothing I would value in return.
Real friendship is about
thoughtful reciprocity, not dependence, or coercion, or intrusion, or
wastefulness, or insensitivity, or ignorance, or bribery, or any other
form of unpleasantness.
They pretend to be kind, superficially, until they are asked to respond appropriately to distress. They then respond with apathy and sometimes even rudeness.
They have no respect for the truth. They have no desire to work in the interests of peace.
They have no interest in protecting my health and supporting its improvement. They have no real sense of justice.
They misguidedly accept deceptive information at face value. They are gullible. They are cruel. They are greedy.
But such people exist in every city. They also exist in most smaller urban areas, and in rural areas.
If you are one of those people, you have stolen my hope.
I will not waste my time on you, or on people similar to you.
But if I am mistaken, and you are truly well-informed and kind, then I will be delighted to receive the evidence.
What do you already know about investing in the very best mental health, and how do you know it?
How have you been attempting to improve your various leadership abilities through my virtual guidance?
How successfully or otherwise have I achieved that aim, and where is the evidence?
You may be aware that this educational note forms part of the official Twaklinesque guidebook to Frugality Cottage.
That guidebook is a secret collective endeavour. It is not available for public perusal.
Perhaps you are currently part of a secret collective of some sort.
How and where and to whom have you already communicated your understanding of nature, politics and society, particularly if you are an Australian citizen or hope to become one soon?
Whether you are an Australian citizen and/or a voter in or from Australia or a citizen and/or voter or would-be citizen and/or voter elsewhere in the world, there are many resources to help improve your leadership, and your mental health, in this part of the Internet.
Through the Really Quite Pleasant Australian Political Organisation, for example, Australian citizens of adequate maturity have been offered the chance to transform enlightened guidance into proper public policies within the Australian federal, state, territory and local government contexts, and international ones.
Regardless of your citizenship status in various parts of the world, do you usually assess your investments quantitatively or qualitatively or in both ways?
Perhaps you are overwhelmed by such a question.
Perhaps you find all my questions overwhelming.
The ongoing efforts made within this virtual cottage towards social,
political and economic inclusion have been experimental endeavours,
especially in terms of science and public health.
How have you reviewed your mental health over the past few years?
How have you reviewed your physical health?
How have you reviewed environmental health?
How have you reviewed various lapses in the provision of public health services over the past few years?
How have you been reviewing political lapses?
How do you measure intellectual freedom and moral responsibility?
How do you measure artistic freedom and political responsibility?
What have you discovered through the grimoire briefly on display in this digital library?
Perhaps you regard the grimoire as a guidebook if not a textbook.
What do you know about initiative in relation to enlightened initiations and incantations?
I have received no evidence that you display appropriate initiative.
That is obviously very disappointing to me, and to the Council of
Enlightenment.
For a considerable time now, each Monday afternoon, local time, I have provided you with an investment note here containing more personal information than my usual writings.
I have done so in order to measure your empathy, civility, initiative and imagination.
In initiating the series of notes, here in this virtual library, I had the hoped that by investing my time and emotions in such a way, you would have provided hope to me, and possibly to many other people.I am yet to find any evidence that I should continue to maintain such a hope. You are apparently too ordinary.
Perhaps you are seeking additional assistance from a qualified guide to help you better understand the work in and from Frugality Cottage.
Have you read my note on investing in creativity?
Do you give much thought towards carefulness when you are being creative?
The momentum to transform the world's political, economic and judicial
systems into fair and reasonable servants of well-informed kindness will
never happen unless a substantial majority of people are willing to
co-operate reasonably to develop, implement and maintain those
transformed and transformational systems.
I have completed the initial work myself. I have done so by studying history and geography very carefully indeed.
My research and findings support the feasibility studies initiated by the Council of Enlightenment.
The council receives its research questions from the Spirit of Enlightenment.
Sometimes,
I receive research questions directly from the Spirit of Enlightenment
and sometimes those questions reach me through the Council of
Enlightenment.
You are unlikely to be appropriately registered as a patron of the work here yet, according to the evidence my assistants and I have collected. You apparently lack the necessary initiative, the necessary curiosity, the necessary ethics and the necessary creativity.
I have long been aware that many people are untrustworthy. They tell lies to cover their own selfishness and incompetence, and their own fears and mistakes. They often mistake superficial charm for genuine friendliness, even in themselves.
Far too many people mistake wishful thinking for real hope. They mistake short-term success for long-term value. They mistake popularity for appropriateness. They mistake decision-making for leadership.
How do you attempt to prevent yourself from making mistakes?
Far too many people follow instructions, and orders, given them by
individuals and groups seeking unjustified control over other people's
lives, thereby preventing people from making well-informed, individual
and collective decisions.
Perhaps you have been following instructions, possibly by failing to question whether they are actually worth following.
I certainly do not provide instructions, or any form of advice. I merely point out possibilities and opportunities.
The foolish people who mistake superficial charm for well-informed kindness cause me to feel considerable despair.
Would I feel better being deluded rather than despairing?
Would I feel better being stupid enough to admire the cruel?
Perhaps you have not yet read through this guidebook and the associated investment notes attentively enough.
Perhaps you have not yet studied my words deeply enough.
Perhaps you have not yet attempted to answer my questions thoughtfully enough.
Overcoming claims of educational scarcity can easily be achieved by teaching people how to provide early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, tertiary education, lifelong education and quaternary education.
Perhaps you have compiled guidebooks and/or textbooks on those educational practices.
Yet useful studies are not necessarily associated with education directly. They are associated with solving problems associated with greed, laziness and ignorance.How and where do you usually display your well-informed, voluntary initiative as a real world leader, and to whom, and for whose benefit, and why?
I have been placing my entire hope in you for a considerable time, hence my current impatience.
My research continues to suggest you are neither overly selfish nor overly greedy though obviously I may be mistaken. You may, in fact, be highly deceptive.
What are your expectations in relation to my ongoing productivity, particularly regarding the continuing production of my investment notes?
Industry, by definition, involves investing time in proper productivity through investing in continuity, as reasonably and conscientiously as necessary.
Yet I am not involved directly in any industries apart from the kindness industry.
I am mostly involved in investment practices associated with the expression of well-informed kindness.
You are currently investing time in the continuity of my well-informed
kindness towards you. If you are doing so in good faith, what does that really mean in practice?
There is much important work still happening in my highly independent laboratory. That work never stops.
The ongoing findings are likely to be of immense societal consequence, in every society, into perpetuity.
The
investigations have involved identifying and solving urgent problems,
whether associated with time, or the lack of it, continuity, or the lack
of it, or reasonableness, or or the lack of it
You may already know that some medical research is exceedingly well funded while other necessary research, into common and less common ailments, receives little funding.
That discrepancy indicates that the assessors of funding applications lack appropriate empathy. That is particularly evident when they have never personally suffered from the ailments usually ignored by well-funded scientific researchers.
I am one of the sufferers long ignored.
