Welcome to our informal research group known as
Hilgartner & Associates.

We claim to have a bridge to a new kind of culture. If people want to get started -- humans can change their assumptions. I've done it and what one fool can do others can do. The condition for changing your premises has to include a felt need, some kind of a sense that things aren't going right. And you have to have somebody who's done some of the work of [uncovering] the previously unknown hidden assumptions and we've done a little of that. So people have to say, these are the assumptions I grew up with and here's an alternative set and those confer advantages. You could change your assumptions in a matter of seconds: "I choose those (assumptions)". So for those who want to change the direction of species suicide in the biosphere then Change your Assumptions. And Yes you have to have some sense of what you’re assuming, what doesn't work and some sense of an alternative, and some sense that the collection of alternatives has advantages. With that opportunity some people can and will change their assumptions.
