OK, here's the latest. Still taking shape, but starting to crystallize...
What is Domino Theory?
A framework for seeing how to make a big impact in the World based on a set of core beliefs.
What are those core beliefs?
On sec, a few more definitions first...
What is a Topple?
A cause with a specific purpose. In a topple one action leads to another. Topples can "split" into branches.
What is a Branch?
A part of a topple that can be tied back to one person's specific action.
What is a Toppler?
Someone that takes action by passing on a domino.
What is a Domino?
A uniquely numbered object (either physical or virtual). The more they look like a real domino the better. However, you can also think of a domino as a person in the chain.
What is a Receiver?
Someone that receives a domino, but hasn't yet been inspired, educated, or incented enough to become a tipper.
What's a Tipper?
See Toppler.
Why are you doing this?
Because it sucks to feel like you can't make a difference or change things that are important to you.
OK, so what the heck are the core beliefs
They are an evolving understanding of the most basic philosophical tenets of Domino Theory. Currently:
- Small Dominos Can Tip Big Dominos
- A Clear, Powerful Purpose Is Important for Chain Reactions
- There Are “Tricks” for Improving The Odds of Success
- Setting Up A Big Topple Takes Time and Patience
- "Impact Energy” increases as the topple grows
- Topples Frequently Start New Topples
- Being a "Toppler" Means Learning from Inevitable Setbacks
- Fear and Self-Doubt are the Main Reasons Topples fail
- It Happens All Around Us Once We Start to Notice
Isn't this all a bit confusing?
Probably. But that's really not that important to me right now. I'm trying to figure this all out, then I can make it easier to digest. I'm taking advantage of the fact that no one is paying any attention anyway. Once the masses show up I'll have it all nice and pretty and they'll build a temple in my name.
You really aren't that funny are you?
No. But I used to be.
