More About Me

I'm passionate about

If there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action. - Thomas Jefferson.

An idea worth spreading

Biology is a great archetype for business. We can build a free social network that mimics the function and structure of the human brain. We can connect people AND link them together in a network based on cities of residence. This is like having two brain cells in the same brain. Linking people together locally first makes sharing resources and resolving issues more efficient. Having a free organizational structure for a social network means we can create greater efficiency for exchanging resources. People can promote and exchange ideas related to organizations they belong to but organizations are not people they are groups or structures that share values. There is also a way to reciprocate our contributions and personal interests through a system of accountability and measurement which many virtual social networks now use.

• A comment on Conversation: Mental Health : Still in the dark ages?

  Mar 16 2013: Stimuli from our environment substantially effects our mental health. We translate sounds into words, and words into images in our minds. We associate visual stimuli with visual memories. Our sense of smell associates odors with emotions and visual images faster than our other senses. Our taste buds can detect potency and associate flavors with micro-nutrients requirements in our bodies. Sensations of pressure and heat are felt through our skin to relay impulses to our brains with lightning speed. All this information is compounded by every experience we relate and associate visually in our minds.
  
  If more people were aware of how much their emotions were triggered by their physical senses and visual associations we would be more connected with ourselves and in tune with our mind, body, and environment.
