The Truth Ratings Website Project

On June 8, 2008 Ben Buras joined the forum and proposed this project in his first post. He said "While reading The Dueling Loops book, I thought of a way that I could contribute. I could create a truth ratings website that would attempt to set truth ratings for politicians (from the present time forward)."

Robert Gowans has also pitched in. Both Ben and Rob are web developers, though Rob has additional expertise in internet marketing.

The thread on the project is here.

Documents

The website is the easy part. What's behind it is where the real work is.

The first document is Getting Started with the Politician Ratings Website PDF . This 8 pager presents the basic idea, the key strategies, and begins the design of the ratings process.

The second is Prototype Vision for the Politician Ratings Website. 5 pages. This paints a vision of where we would like to be in less than a year.

The Dueling Loops

The most popular page on the site by a factor of 3. This paper presents a simple model showing why activists have been unable to solve the sustainability problem, and an alternative solution strategy based on high leverage points.

The Phenomenon of Change Resistance

This is the key concept that starts people thwinking, and causes them to explore the rest of the site. The concept is subtle, but has the potential to change the sustainability problem from insolvable to solvable.

The Powell Memo

The most eye popping short read (7 pages) on the site, if you have never heard about it. The memo was written in 1971.

The Dueling Loops Videos

These average 8 minutes. They give a quick introduction to the Dueling Loops model and how it explains the tremendous change resistance to solving the sustainability problem.
