Brazen careerist
Where ambitious young professionals connect and grow
Esoterica
A network for anyone developing or discussing 'off-beat' topics. Next-gen models, applied metaphysics, consciousness research, systems theory, and wild ideas – particularly as they relate to practical applications and real-world endeavors. Bucky Fuller, de Chardin, Goethe, DaVinci, Hiram Abiff, and Benjamin Franklin would have joined this group.
Network Leader: Zachary Stark Jones

Has someone ever told you that you're "black and white"? I've used the phrase with a few people lately and have found that the commonality between many of them is that they are NOT Gen Y. I wonder if this is 'by chance' or something that anyone else has seen? I think being "grey" is better than being black / white as it leaves room for more imagining, dreaming, learning, innovating, etc. What are your thoughts? Black / white or gray? Where do you think Gen Y falls?

I'm very grey intrinsically, but the "black and white" a lot of people are referring to here is a choice, not natural tendency. No matter how you look at things naturally, you have to choose a side-- black or white-- if you plan on getting anything done. For a lot of open-minded people, it's a counter-intuitive skill that needs to be developed to make it in the "real world."

Just joined as i've been out of the country w/ no internet access for 2 weeks, but will promote in a bit ( ; I think this will be a great network once it gets 'going'. As for me, I'm going to listen and learn more than contribute in the beginning, but I look forward to learning...

I'm not sure what you mean by, "let me offer that 'wild ideas' with the flavor of The Secret, power of intention, and other such hyperbolic metaphysics would be best presented through an Experimental Design or Measurement Criteria."...Are you talking about some sort of quantifiable data or proof something is true?

So, this will be interesting.

The ways in which we, as leaders, developers, designers, etc can stimulate or improve the soul... I'd like that to be fair game here.

I've started the Esotrica network as a net or a landmark for the people on Brazen. Though any suggestions for posting guidelines will fall to the bottom quickly with discussion, let me offer that 'wild ideas' with the flavor of The Secret, power of intention, and other such hyperbolic metaphysics would be best presented through an Experimental Design or Measurement Criteria.
There's lots of ideas that can be idiomatic to this network - look forward to seeing what comes in through the windows.
