==About this Website==
 
==About this Website==
This website is currently '''Under Construction'''.
+
This site is an experiment in elaborating a [[mental toolkit]]. A mental toolkit is a collection of [[conceptual scheme]]s which, by reflecting how the world works, help the person carry out individual and collective projects. If the person's mental schemes accurately reflect how the world in fact works, their projects are more likely to succeed. This experiment is rooted in a political outlook: that of trying to distribute power more equally to all members of society. See [[Danton's politics]].
  
This site is a variation on a project I've been thinking about for years, which I used to call the [[Mental Toolkit]]. The Mental Toolkit is a collection of [[Conceptual Scheme]]s which, by accurately reflecting how the world works, can help us to pilot our individual and collective projects.

==Main Categories==
 +
All categories on the site are attached, directly or indirectly to [[:Category:Root]].
  
The problem is that, as soon as I start investigating any particular [[Conceptual Scheme]], I find myself drowning in a vast sea of specialized knowledge. Meanwhile I discover that my own personal [[Real Life]] is disintegrating because I am spending too much time on the computer. But just as I started making [http://sluserguide.com Danton's Second Life User Guide] in order to increase my own knowledge of [[Second Life]], my basic reason for making this present site is to increase my own knowledge of [[Real Life]].

[[:Category:Life]] is the principle content category. It contains the following main sub-categories:
 +
*[[:Category:Psychology]]
 +
*[[:Category:Politics]]
 +
*[[:Category:Cyberspace]]
 +
*[[:Category:Practical tips]]
  
==Browse This Website==

==See also==
To browse relevant pages, see these Categories:
+
*[[:Category:Scaffolding]]: pages used in developping the site
*[[:Category:Life]]
+
*[[Site Map]]: this manually-updated site map may be out-of date
  
(In other words, for the moment there is only one Category, containing only one Page [[Real Life]], which contains only one section: "External Links".)
+
In browsing, you may discover pages or categories on this website left over from when it was used for other things. In fact, I've used this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki MediaWiki] site for a series of different projects, each of which replaced that preceding.
