June 16th, 1976.  6pm.
12 Lbs 6 Oz.
Blond Hair
Blue Eyes.
Catholic Household (like the other 95% of the noobs)


Anglized Name of Karol (Carlos, Karl, etc..)
upon US Citizenship somewhere around my 8th year when I immigrated to the US, by way of Austria (political asylum or sumsuch...coming from Communist Poland, at the time (1984)).

Moved to Colorado.
Cities included Fort Morgan, Fort Collins, Lafayette, Longmont and Thornton (Denver Suburb).

Was a student of Centaurus High School, where I completed my last full year of schooling.
Briefly entered 11th grade in some Denver High School but as I was 16, I dropped out, school offered nothing of interest to me.

Charles Szyszkowski, until March 10th, 1998.
Changed name after prolonged consideration, decided not to associate myself with the people that bore me into the world, who I did not want honored.

Chopped off the last name. 

Didn't like any of the alternatives that came to mind, and both the notion of Malcolm X, at the time a movie about a compelling american civil rights figure, I had seen before leaving Colorado, which was still fresh in my mind, and a book on Native American cultures which I was reading (many of which had this notion that a person should choose a name for themselves in adulthood, one that suits them).....this is what was on my mind as I contemplated what I might do with my name, during my twentieth and twenty-first years, as I was living in Everett, Washington.



I am Charles.

~5' 11"


~Formerly with a nice spikey hairstyle, after years of a peach-fuzz head, and now back to the peach fuzz (the ravages of male-pattern baldness :)


~My Language dexterity degraded over the years, and now unlike in my early childhood I only speak, read, and write in english, though at one time I could do so in polish and german as well.
Have from time to time threatened (and tried) to learn spanish and french, and to relearn polish but I always found some excuse or other to postpone this so though I love beauty and variety of languages, at present I only recognize a smattering of the polish and german I once knew.

I aim to learn an additional 9 languages over the next 10 years or so.


~Most years of my life, and still to this day, on the softer side of life, though I am aiming (eventually) for that idealic hardbody.

Floating around 180-205 Lbs.

I love junk food, and don't eat all that well though having experimented with diets and the like, I am well versed in what it takes to be in top form, just haven't had the proper environment or motivation to take it to the Nth degree.


~Atheist (probably since I was 9 or 10).
One of the first books I read for myself, on philosophy, during my 17th year, was Artistotle's Nichomachean Ethics, which help expand my consciousness...and along with this formal philosophical work and many others social, scientific, philosophical, and cultural, my mind has flitted form here to there, exposed to various imagined (fictional) worlds in books, movies, and tv......and it has been filtered through the prism of the political culture of the US with it's various strains of idealistic and pragmatic thought, and that is what has framed my outlook on life, a mix of the two.

~C-Systems is naturally self-referential, but also alludes to several elements of thought and action....

Complete-Systems
Comprehensive Systems
C - Systems (See / Seeing (insightful / farsighted) - Sea / Seattle)
Coordinated Systems

....and so forth

I am a fan of multiple meanings and levels/layers of meaning in a thing or idea, wordplay, etc..

I created this business (on paper) back in march 2002, but have done almost nothing, with the exception of this web site, in making it a tangible operation, until now.

I have been top-heavy in the philosophical, speculative, and theoretical modeling of ideas and systems....but eventually it is all wishful thinking unless you test it, so sooner or later I would have to gamble on some venture or other to figure out what does and does not work, I just wish I had acted years earlier, as so much time has passed that I feel like I wasted at least half of it in the process of getting here.

~With the exception of some 4 months in Shoreline, I have been living within Seattle city limits since February of 1998.
Lived on the streets (homeless) for 5 months in early 2007, and into the present, from mid-December 2008 (19+ months so far)...as a means of motivating myself to completion (realization of committed goals), the first time it almost worked, but I quit homelessness before my great debut, so the second time it was important to firmly settle on keeping the course until I succeeded.

Since about half-way through my 17th year, I decided with the absence of any compelling efforts to solve the worlds serious problems (as I saw it), especially by those with the power to do so, I should AND could AND must seek to solve as many of the big problems in the world myself as possible, more so out of a sense of indignation at those able and uninterested or undermotivated, than ego-maniacal indulgence.

The multitude of problems to fix generated a multitude of solutions, all the while I was trying to decide what kind of a person I wanted to be, that is what helped to confound an early start, and set the tone for avoiding implementation, this search for some non-existent perfection, that would make me feel confident in my approach and myself as a person in an important leadership position, though I have never been a leader.

Ultimately I needed much of this time to get a clear sense of things in the context of world in motion, to calibrate my intented acts, against probable consequences, I needed principles rather than rules, the formula rather than THE solution.

I needed a language and a structure, a system that would do what no ONE person could do, or should be expected to do.

Fear and doubt about my methods effectiveness, my personal qualities, and my solitary / introverted nature in the context of a life and duties unavoidably public, these were the countervailing forces making it easy for me to forestall and sabotage plans, I prefered being a puppeteer, but that was not something that could work with the most promising ideas I conjured.

Desperation finally motivated me to the unconventional choice of solving this particularly pervasive problem of avoidance, through homelessness....the way I figured it, either misery of what is, or the desire for what may be, will get the better of me, sooner rather than later, and I will bring into being that for which I have been striving all along.

In early 2007 I almost went public, I had one iteration of a possible system, but after the laptop I was working on got stolen, I regrouped and went through a reassesment (slow) of whether I was doing it right, and ended up losing all my momentum and changing things along the way. I moved back indoors.

When it became clear I needed a breakthrough and a convenient excuse presented itself to go on the streets yet again, I took it, with the vow that I would stay homeless until I was public with the whole enterprise.

I made efforts to get the attention of the press and the key political figures and offices in the city, counties, and state, and some token guerilla marketing ideas, from early 2009 through the summer, but it was "for naught" as they say, either everyone was too incredulous or just disinterested.
 
I never had any response from anyone in positions of authority, and the few regular people who took an interest, expected that things should already be working before their participation, which would have negated contacting them in the first place, so go figure.

So again I reassesed...looking for a more certain vehicle(s) to get the desireable outcome of broad public exposure.

Trying to avoid the avoidance syndrome, again :) , consumed an enourmous span of time to regain the momentum necessary for a breakthrough, one where I would stay clear of being in a position of dependence on any one approach.

For that I needed multipe complimentary approaches that would likely work, either together or each on their own.


~Abandoned my friends (people who you go out of your way for who do likewise for you) and avoided making new ones for most of my life since my late teens, in pursuit of my soul mission.

Had several friends in the making and friendly
aqcuaintances here and there but I studiously sabotaged and avoided most of the opportunities to make new connections, and to maintain those I unexpectedly developed.

Also some of these people, especially the ones I found most enjoyable, I felt I was either undeserving of as friends, or whom I wished to show the best of myself to, and having nothing to show for my existance for most of these years, plus understanding that the scale and wonder of the whole enterprise that I have been tweaking would likely be received with incredulity and disdain, I chose to keep things to myself, and myself away from people.

Safety equaled Solitude.

Because my progress never seemed to gel for me, it didn't incline me to keep any fresh connections for too long, as that would entail explaining what I was up to and why it perpetually went nowhere.....

This helped me to avoid revealing myself much beyond the superficial, to anyone, before I was ready to show myself in full form.

Everything has its season.

Currently, I have no friends...don't keep company with, or in contact with anyone I have known.....nor friends-in-the-making, nor friendly aqcuaintances, etc....it's okay though, I am a philosophical and fairly balanced person with a very strong sense of purpose.

[:  don't....cry...for...me...Argentina !!!!!!  :]


The best description I ever heard, to describe my social disposition succinctly, came from a friend-in-the-making I met in 2005, she said I was, "selectively social".
For the longest time I thought I was probably anti-social, even though I was always actually sociable, friendly, and never had a problem making friends........she reached out a bit, and though we were friendly when we cohabitated as roommates, and I said I would keep in touch, I didn't...  :[
 
Basically I am monkish, living the contemplative and plotting life (schemes and dreams).
It has been difficult to cope with some times (mixture of boredom and loneliness).
The absence of meaningful results for all this time and focus, contrasted with this unsatisfying social life, for many years now, has not left me in the best of spirits, it is only the sense of absolute and clear purpose and meaning that has kept me going, and of course the rewards of success, to come :]

This disatisfaction is the consequence of having made many plans, and dreaming a multitude of ideas which never seem to stop coming, none of which bore fruit, by way of verifiable models that I could show to the world, existing only in my head or on paper....for most of the last 16 years.....all of which is quite obviously changing now.

Only now do I have proof of what I have been up to, and the ability to demonstrate the value of these notions, it is a kind of vindication, but it is a bitter-sweet achievement...as you cannot measure the extent of so much lost time and opportunities.....you are 15-20-25, only once, and never again, even if you could remake the body, the mind has already past that stage of development, life goes on without you.

I have gradually become more reflexively friendly, and gregarious, but I still tend to hold to superficialities, disposable generalities, and general inanities when meeting and getting to know new people.....I do prefer to keep to myself mostly, keeping my own counsel.

Friends do mean a great deal to me, though it may seem contrariwise from the outside looking in (I never forgot my friends and still think of them from time to time), which is why I see no reason to pretend I care until and unless I do.

Basically you have to be interested in who I am, or you won't care.  I have not been easy to get to know, so most people haven't been interested, and for the most part that has been ok with me, being alone does make it easier to focus on the essentials of my soul mission.

Now with my public debut I can begin rediscovering my social self (not in the public sense, mostly, but private), revitilizing my spirits in the company of friends, old and new alike.

I don't regret the decision to have secreted myself away from others, only that I didn't apply some of the wisdom I learnt along the way to make meaningful connections with at least a few people I met, and was interested in, it could have made for a far more joyful and satisfying life.

There is plenty to regret.

You live, you learn.



My character and substance of being you can deduce and construe from my 6 associated web sites and their content, which are well expressive of what I have been thinking of for the last 16 years of my life, in addition to the personal pages which characterize my essence, contained in the linked pages (as with this one) upon the previous Leadership page.

They communicate my qualities in more relatable manner....movies, music, philosophical sentiments, etc.....things that most people use to get a sense of their friends and in deciding which strangers they want to get to know, without knowing a full history.



I don't like the profusive revelations of overly personal details, that are far too common an expectation, in our "reality" and celebrity culture, which demands and expects far too much access (especially) to a public persons inner-life and personal relations....past, present, and future.

So I thought these pages should give people (who are interested) a way to get to know me indirectly, the essential me....rather than everything about me....which is something only meant for those I have chosen, on a one to one basis, to share myself with.


~As the monkish reference should suggest, I am private and secretive.....to me publicity and intimacy are mutually exclusive, and anyone calling themselves my friend (and anyone I would call a friend) would not breach that divide.

What I have chosen to share, in some ways may be revealing, but as I see it, if what I offer up to the world is received as well and widely (the debut is in steps and what is  first is not last, there is much much more there), then I know with certainty that there will be a lot of pressure to make myself available to unwanted questioning.....aside from the natural curiousity of how a person can come out of the seeming nothingness, and put forward something so utterly transformative of the world we reside in.......the simple and somewhat dull answer is that 16 years of thinking about solving problems tends to result in solutions, and it tends to become a habit of or a refined talent for coming up with solutions......aside from that, there really are not many questions that I imagine I need to answer, and as I hate repeating myself, I don't want to be answering the same questions ad nauseum, and in this way, through these pages the general details are here for the curious.

I have no interest in writing a book about my life or going on talk shows to talk about myself or any of that embarassing and uncultured narcicism that is rapidly becoming a universal plague in press and entertainment.

I view the news as increasingly about info-tainment, "news" organizations are more interested in sensational balloon boys, sex tapes, and criminal mischief to get ratings than to reflect, ask meaningful questions, and offer some modicum of wisdom, insight, and context which those listening and watching clearly need, especially when a modern and common education is so poor at nurturing thoughful and wise people.

This fourth estate doesn't compliment or suppliment a decent education, it debauches what little there is, that is one of the things I intend to change.

If I write, it will be in a pen name(s) and will reflect my interests both fictional and artistic...it is also a smarter way of figuring out if people like what you have to offer because of the quality of your craft and expression, or if it is your personality and public image to which they are drawn, it is a way to more honest and legitimate appraisals and criticisms.

The only thing that I may write about, in my own name, since I am formally reshaping someone else's original idea and mass promoting it publicly....is Eupraxophy...I have been thinking since 2000 about a book or series of books called, The Cosmologies of Eupraxophy...long before I realized the full potential of what I had with this great and timely idea, and how I would use it.

Aside from that, what you see is pretty much all you should expect to ever get from me.

After a fixed period of time I will remove all these pages and details permanently, perhaps wikipedia or other biographical or historical groups will take it from there...

To me these pages are a functional neccesity, not a pleasure.




Ciao.
