Welcome
to camaggi.com, a website for philosophical travellers who like helping to create a truly
peaceful and
enjoyable home planet.
If you want to discover more about considerate democracy, you are in the right place. All that is usually required to understand camaggi.com is a basic grasp of literacy and numeracy, and the willingness to allocate some time here, so please take a reflective and relaxing scroll down your screen - and see where it might lead. With best
wishes from C A Maggi Adelaide, Australia, July 2009 |

By
choosing
to
visit camaggi.com, and
by carefully
reading all that
you have already seen on your
screen, you have
indicated that you may have an interesting,
thoughtful,
inquiring mind...
...is that true?
Although
you will find quite a few words in bold letters on this home page, as
above and below, these are not links. They are just one way in
which I hope to assist your experience here, by highlighting some important ideas to think about.

Reflecting on your philosophical travels
Making time might be easier for previously busy people, including those
who are no longer
receiving an income from employment, or are yet to do so. I have designed camaggi.com
so that it may be enjoyably and rewardingly explored by all sorts of
thoughtful, productive, creative people, whatever their life circumstances.
Through this website, I ask quite a lot of important questions for you to think about, and write about, especially questions about the art of consideration and a culture of consideration. |
How do you relate to time?
Thinking and writing usually need time, not money,
and I invite you to think about and express your own views on humanity, and your thoughts about our common
future, wherever you may be on the planet. The news media can often make us feel powerless to change anything. Even with the global economic downturn and world financial crisis/crises, the possible dangers of global warming, an influenza pandemic, and the widespread incidence of unpleasant, life-diminishing, authoritarian behaviour, it is important to take the time now to participate - enjoyably and productively - in shaping the future. How might you contribute to a better approach to governance, in all sectors of societies and states, encourage more peaceful human behaviour, and help to improve policy and democracy along the way? Explore this website and find some answers. |
Unbiased interactionsAn appreciation and understanding of camaggi.com, and of a culture of consideration, might be enhanced if people's
interactions here are purely those
between one relatively unbiased
mind and another. This way of thinking is expressed by travelling
at the speed of life.
What do you think it means to go travelling at the speed of life? What does it mean to be unbiased? What does it mean just to be travelling at the speed of life? What
does it
mean for the future of democracy?
What does it mean for the future of the planet? What does it mean for the future of humanity? These
are the
questions through which
my own philosophical journey began |
The most important aspect of considerationThe relationship between you and the words you are now scrolling through may contribute towards shaping a wonderful future. This home page is, after all, about a peaceful and pleasant culture of consideration, and especially about the most important part: Considerate democracy
Would you like to know more about considerate democracy and discover how and why it is potentially the most inclusive way for humans to meet their needs?
|
Investing your timeIf
you are wondering whether you are making a good investment of your time
here, you may have noticed that there are no advertisements on my home page to distract you while you reflect on how you think and why you think as
you do.
This web page is just a small part of my contribution to considerate democracy, and to a global perpetual festival of literacy and understanding. You are also welcome to be involved in the exciting, enlightening and inclusive global festival, for little or no cost. |
How do you support your ownlearning and well being?A culture of consideration is something that applies in practice, not just in theory. This is an important aspect of the philosophical journey. I enjoy encouraging people to develop a deeper understanding, and an informed approach to planning, through a quiet, relaxing process of reflective, lifelong learning and well-informed reading. To support such learning, I currently allow each of camaggi.com's visitors to save a copy of this home page for their own private study purposes, in a personal home computer, for up to 30 days. This may especially assist people whose Internet contracts include time restrictions. Other html pages in camaggi.com should not be copied, especially as the content changes very frequently. I like to edit my own writings as often as possible, not only to ensure their accuracy, but also to maintain the informed interest of camaggi.com's many regular visitors. |
Consideration and passwordsYou will need passwords for some of
the detour pages here. The open-access travel passwords are currently freely available, with very few restrictions, to anyone who is attempting to understand the cultural basis of considerate democracy, wherever such people may be in the world, and however rich or poor they may be. Open-access, password-protected links are marked
* like this
If
you have been reading this home page very carefully, you will know
something about those links already. Different types of passwords
are required for various areas of camaggi.com, however there are also
quite a few pages that do not require a password at all so browse at you leisure - I hope it will be a pleasure!
|
RecommendationsI
usually recommend linear reading and circular journeys while exploring camaggi.com as these may enhance your understanding of
my words.
Circular journeys also prevent many readers from becoming lost or confused as they venture through the pages here.
If you are contributing to considerate democracy and a culture of
consideration on your own philosophical journey, my work aims to
assist your activities, whether you see yourself as an ordinary private
citizen, a thoughtful business person, an educator, researcher, policy
analyst, journalist, artist, volunteer, carer, philanthropist, social
entrepreneur, non-ideological
politician, or maybe all or none of the above.
Allow your own self-awareness to map out a route that is right for you. If you feel at all tired or overwhelmed or distracted, it is much better to pause than continue. You will usually find a link back to this home page from the other pages of camaggi.com. |
The value of your timeThis home page just
provides a basic introduction to camaggi.com.
Without the information here, you might find it quite difficult to understand, and find your way around, the other pages of this website. Identify the linear link path to keep yourself on track. It is usually quite easy to locate. Most of my web pages should download quickly as there are very few graphics here (though I hope you like the ones I have created for you). There are no videos, sounds or spectacular effects, either, especially as I like to assist modem users and people with modest telecommunications budgets. By completely reading through a page of camaggi.com before visiting any of its links, you may enhance your understanding of my words, and of your own mind. If you are in a hurry, or you have visited camaggi.com many times before, the link structure here may help you to make the most of your time, online and in life. |
The importance of patienceDiversions
to the first few detour
pages of camaggi.com
(not requiring a password) might take just another two or three hours
of your time, though short visits are probably best.
It might also be wise to re-read this home page before continuing to the second page along the linear link path. Have you already discovered why? |
Teaching and coaching
To
teach in any way, using camaggi.com, requires
completion of a
process of assessment and licensing. This applies just as much to
home users as to academic, government, community and business users.
Further into your journey, you will learn more about what is involved, and why assessment and licensing are important. In the meantime, just relax, enjoy this gentle scroll and reflect upon your own thinking. My home
page is sometimes enough on its own
for a first visit here - as you may have already discovered |
Reasons to make contactEven if you have only taken the journey this far down my home page (an achievement in itself) and you are yet to see the rest of camaggi.com, please consider sending a brief greeting, perhaps just to say a friendly "hello". It would be very nice if you would introduce yourself. It would be even more wonderful to hear from you if you have some ideas about how I could improve this website. There are plenty of other reasons to contact me and these are outlined further down this page (and further up the page, too). You may even like to ask me more than a few questions. I enjoy receiving questions. You are especially welcome to send responses to any of the questions I ask
