The Essential Concepts Videos™ Series
The Essential Concepts Videos (TM) Series will consist of over fifty full length videos plus assorted PSA, test, specials, shorts, and course videos expounding on the various elements of Catastrophic Thinking and CAVEAT. The primarily goals of this series is to provide a framework for educational services, namely, speaking engagements, conducting classes, seminars, conferences, workshops, informal online programs, lectures and distribution of course and informational materials in connection therewith in printed or electronic format, namely, video, text, illustrations, or hypertext, in the fields of catastrophic thinking, critical thinking, and strategic thinking, using scientific principles and analysis, in crisis policy formation, in disaster emergency management, and in emergency preparedness.
The planned sequence of presentations will be listed below when this page is finished. Just as you have been instructed to ignore the man behind the curtain, you should also ignore the girl below doing Yoga. She came with Squarespace. Eventually various free videos will be stored on this page featuring Cola, the spokesperson for this Website and the Youtube Channel.
