In early 2001 I pledged to solve why things were not going so well. Why is there so much conflict in contrast to how sophisticated technology has evolved? "Why can't we all just get along?" is the perpetual public grievance that seems to have manifested into the recent proclamations of another civil war.
It was not until January 2007 that I realized that the inadequacy of the library classification systems was the root of the problem.
At that time, I was just beginning research at the Charlottesville Public Library on some of the atheists' arguments that I encountered on the internet forums contesting the Christians' claim that atheism is a religion. As I was gathering and downloading information, I realized that I needed a directory system not only to organize the immediate information for the research but also a complete system for all of the other information that I was interested in for later review. It took me a day of searching the internet for a template until I realized that the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress classification systems were supposed to be the solution to this problem.
My computer broke soon thereafter, and it would be another year until I was able to replace it and commence concentrated efforts to deliberate the general categories of knowledge. The library had a copy of Systemantics at the front end of its collection, and a few months later, I found the title Future Shock to read. So, I am very confident that my assessment of the social disorder has been noticed and described prior to my commencement of research and development of a solution.
Anyway, internet search engines provide random access to subjects that seemingly render a "knowledge classification system" just as useless as the other classification systems, but that does not nullify the need for the reliability it provides, similar to its sibling collation systems of numbers and alphabets. Besides the dialectic calibration aspect of a standardized knowledge classification system, a derivative of the system is the formatting rules for corporate and government charters.
Understandably, most people will not recognize the correlation between knowledge classification and government chartering. I just happened to have had a unique combination of my search for a reliable filing system converge with my development of a hypothesis for why everything is all fouled up, and then there was a memory from my elementary civics lessons that I did not quite understand until that eureka moment.
