This web site was originally created for exploring and developing the Transition Project. That is what it was called for the first few decades, Transition. I liked that name. More catchy perhaps than Transition To A New Ecology, but not as descriptive. Anyway, if you are here you have probably came from the Kickstart Site. What an opportunity for me. Welcome. May I show you around.

If you want, you could go to the original main page Here. It was an experiment to convert the book to videos and is actually pretty complete in ways. It was educational. It served well in that it was then that I developed the Aspirations Section that left quite an impression on me. It is also a bit of an experiment in javascript. It works best in Internet Explorer for some reason. I put the videos on YouTube, which changed their coding a bit, so it does not always work perfectly in Chrome or FireFox. ... I will fix it up when I get the time. Actually, the text with the videos is a good short read of the project, just not so detailed.

These are some intial pages that list the studies that this story is based on... "story" sounds better than "Moral Analysis". This is about morality, but it is based on science, because that is just another word for "learned survival strategies". These pages present some of that science.
Again, this is a fairly initial document and is a couple years old. A lot has developed since then and far more will could be added... when I get the time.

So, where is that other part? Do you want to see what decades of work looks like? At this time, I have left part of the Genetics and Aspirations Sections out. I've wanted to eventually sell it as a book, so I could not see putting it all on the web. We will see. If this Project works, perhaps I will. There is still the final chapter and lots of work to go. Still, you might enjoy Transition To A New Ecology. Most of the important stuff is there... somewhere...
If you want it a bit more briefly, I did write a Synopsis. I dare say it needs updating as it is a couple years behind the book.


In my broad studies, I had to examine the Philosophy of Science. One interesting point is about how science is advanced. Is it by a team of researchers or by individuals. It is a contested point, but I think it is clear that it is by both. Still, in the balance, the contributions by individuals like Newton and Einstein show the power of individual inspiration. That is the path I have taken.
