Chogan Swan

Chogan Swan is a subversive, wild-eyed, non-violent neoRevolutionary who lives in the country of the mind in the world of thoughts in the universe of ideas.<br><br>In this tiny corner of the space-time continuum, Chogan studied Philosophy and later collected graduate degrees in Business and Systems Engineering from a major US university renowned for its abundant alcohol consumption and passion for a particularly barbaric blood-sport. Go Hokies! :)<br><br>These studies, however, led to an interest in Systems Thinking and how to work together to save the world for everyone. It won't be easy.&nbsp; (But then what is that's worth having?)<br><br>Philosopher, poet, prophet, revolutionary--sentients on various worlds have used these words to describe Chogan. Of course, the truth is in the interstices.<br>The motivating force for Chogan's ... 'messages in bottles' to the multiverse ...<br>has been succinctly captured by the words of Harlan Ellison …<br><br>"Writing is a holy chore.<br>... the only organism of quiet communication left to us.<br>In the soft moments when we huddle alone with our thoughts, we turn to words<br>... And there--in the moment when (sentient beings) choose to reason--we can reach them.<br>It is a heavy responsibility."
