Part I: The Idea of Ideas | Origins and The Human Potential

Introduction

Have you ever had a grand and defining realization?

If someone asked you: what one single theory explains the human psyche… what would you gravitate toward? Would this theory also apply to society?

Okay, sure, that’s enough questioning. I have a defining realization for you.— but, to get there we must turn to theory. A theory for all things HUMAN.

Such a valuable theory exists… and it applies on multiple levels!

Today, we begin a series of stories.

Here’s part one. We will begin by defining our theory before looking at its biological basis — the capabilities of Homo Sapiens. Only then can we expand into the personal and social realms.

Future installments will look at this theory via:

  • a personal story/transformation;
  • its relevance for society (foundations and fountainheads);
  • a captivating case study, and;
  • counter-arguments/alternative theories

So, we obviously have lots of ground to cover!
