| Have you ever happened across an online forum | | | | thinking it is reacting to alternate opinions, which |
| discussing a scientific or technology topic? | | | | are generally taking the pole position to party or |
| Generally the first post is very interesting and | | | | industry approved lines. (opinion). For those who |
| perhaps as you read down the thread you find | | | | are beyond that, they will need to continue |
| many interesting points of contention and tid bits | | | | searching.Many wish to think without boxes or |
| of brilliance. Then after you are done, you realize | | | | territorial lines of thoughts drawn by men; for me |
| that you spend most of your time reading thru | | | | such a think tank of another is merely a study in |
| personal attacks, negative comments and off | | | | human interaction, which appears to be very |
| topic or irrelevant subject matter.Few can say | | | | predictable, rather than a coat hanger in a closet |
| they know any high tech think tank forums that | | | | or place to hang my hat. I believe that thought |
| actually work well. Occasionally you find an | | | | should have NO boundaries of any type including; |
| absolutely interesting thread with a completely | | | | dimensions, time, life experience model, species, |
| awesome topic, intellectual debate or revolutionary | | | | language, belief systems, religion, etc. It does not |
| innovative thinking. This keeps people coming back | | | | make sense to limit ones mind in that way; fore if |
| and yet the other topic threads filled with attacks | | | | one does how can they call that thinking and |
| seem to be entertaining and filled with | | | | therefore who could call such group activity a |
| controversial interest are there reminding you of | | | | think tank. It sounds more like a think box with |
| the truth about human beings and their | | | | limits. I have gotten together with others to |
| problematic innate characteristics.For myself I | | | | discuss thought and have traveled to every city |
| have developed a place to put my thoughts, | | | | in the United States with over 10,000 population, |
| solutions, concepts to share them with those who | | | | sat in coffee shops, met people and assisted |
| are interested, interact with them if they are so | | | | them in doing the same. Some have set up ad |
| inclined. This works well for me, although is not | | | | hoc networks and meeting times, in doing so I |
| necessarily the norm. Now then the new paradigm | | | | have learned a lot about the designing of |
| of the Blog seems to help many people fulfill their | | | | networked think tank concept. Do you have |
| need to express themselves. Perhaps you are a | | | | thoughts about Think Tank Formation? How |
| blogger and find it is an excellent tool for those | | | | would you design a think tank? Have you ever |
| purposes?Many bloggers are interested in seeking | | | | thought about that?If one is looking for a think |
| others to associate with who have not turned off | | | | tank for namesake, I suggest they look for one, |
| their brains and would like to discuss issues and | | | | which bares that name; Think Tank and then to |
| topics of mutual interest. Anyone can has set up | | | | contact them. My forum is not a think tank in |
| a think tank to promote a political position; in fact | | | | itself, just a place that individuals who are serious |
| they are now and have in the past. This of | | | | about the forward progression of mankind in the |
| course ends up with its own ramification, as we | | | | present period can go to share ideas, innovations |
| know politics and lawyers are silly way to run | | | | and concepts. Some may have ideas and use it to |
| mankind's civilizations and needs.Having set up an | | | | put out concepts for those interested or who find |
| online forum for progressive and innovative | | | | a subject via Search Engines. A Think Tank is like |
| thinkers I can say that it is not an easy endeavor, | | | | a Novel; you have the choice of determining what |
| but one very much needed. And additionally I | | | | it will be and what your purpose is in creating it. |
| cannot speak for the think thank of another or a | | | | And in that, we see many are abusing the |
| group of others. Other than those I have | | | | concept of a Think Tank for very politically |
| observed are completely embracing or embattled | | | | motivated reasons, which is a shame really. You |
| in politics of the sorts. Such a Think Tank is not | | | | are welcome to think with me, if you wish online. |
