Ok with me. Josep -----Mensaje original----- De: <WDDM webmaster> Enviado el: lunes, 25 de abril de 2005 23:40 Para: wddm@world-wide-democracy.net Asunto: New application No. 22 Please submit your comments/approval before April 31: This is also placed in http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/Wiki/NewApplicationsReceived * This is a request from richard(at)cyberjournal.org to become a WDDM member Dear WWDM, For 30 years I was in the software R&D industry in Silicon Valley. In 1994 I quit my career and moved to Ireland to become a writer. Not a writer in the sense of art or profession, but in the sense of developing my ideas and sharing them. My motivation came from my understanding that the world system is dysfunctional, and I wanted to contribute to changing it. I've published dozens of articles in magazines and journals around the world - a wide variety of venues, including liberal magazines, Marxist journals, militia newsletters, and student 'zines. Everything I write gets posted first to my email lists. My most successful article so far has been "Escaping the Matrix", published first in Whole Earth (2000) and then elsewhere. If you look in google, you'll find that it's been posted to lots of websites (usually without me being informed). I've gotten at least a hundred enthusiastic letters and messages in response to that article. I self-published a pamphlet called "The Zen of Global Transformation", which had an enthusiastic but very small following. I didn't do much to promote it...not sure why. I still have a few copies available, and it's posted on my website. I've now got a book almost ready for publication, "Escaping the Matrix - Global Transformation: Why We Need It, And How We Can Get It". I will be spending full-time promoting that when it it finished. The book presents an analysis of how the world system works at present, including the sham of liberal democracy. But the main thesis, the most unique part, is my understanding of how we can change things and what real democracy is about. I don't agree with the models currently being proposed by WWDM, but you folks have the same goals I do and I think this would be a good forum for me to participate in. best regards, Richard Moore (rkm) http://cyberjournal.org |
