Introducing Wo'O Ideafarm and his innovation

Sometimes, what is possibly true is more important than what is true. Scenario: You are walking along on a busy city sidewalk, and you hear someone close by shout, "He's got a gun!". Do you ignore the warning as impossible? Do you stop and look around to see whether it is true? No, and no. You will immediately duck or run for cover behind anything that might stop a bullet. This page will figuratively shout, "He's got a gun!", and then invite you to act, not on a fact, but on a possibility.
Unlike most content on today's Internet, IDEAFARM.COM does not entertain you with click-bait to generate advertising revenue. I am much older now, in 2026, than I was in those videos. The first 30 seconds of the first video reveals the mission and vision that motivated a high risk, ambitious 35 year software craftwork project. That craftwork was successful, so I am now ready to present what I have built for the benefit of all young people, worldwide.
These ten pages on IDEAFARM.COM are generated by "knowledge tree" software. The first sentence of every paragraph is clickable, but don't bother, since that will just display a page for that paragraph. Click the last sentence of each page to display the next page.
Only 13% of IDEAFARM.COM's target audience in the United States of America can read and comprehend this presentation. When asked, "What percentage of adults age 20 to 29 regularly read English composition comparable to book length nonfiction, essays, or legal opinions?", an AI responded, in part, "... roughly 13% to 16% of young adults regularly engage with this depth of complex text.". When then asked, "What percentage of adults aged 20 to 29 could read and comprehend http://root.ideafarm.com if they were highly motivated to make the effort?", the AI responded, in part, "... 13% of adults aged 20 to 29 have the foundational capacity to read and fully comprehend root.ideafarm.com, even when factoring in high motivation.". Knowledge tree writing is much easier to read, but cannot be used here, since you don't yet know how to read a knowledge tree.
The presentation on IDEAFARM.COM is intended to do more than communicate ideas; it is also intended to awaken and inspire you to both personal and community action. Prose text is not just a form of communication. It is a form of thinking, of guided thinking, for the writer as well as for the reader. Although guided thinking can be accomplished with other communication forms, prose text is the most powerful form. That is why literacy is so important, both for the person and for the community and nation. Illiteracy, the inability to participate in the process of guided thinking using prose text, is intellectual blindness. Like a blind person attempting to cross a busy street, an illiterate person is in great peril, groping in darkness while attempting to navigate political, economic, and social life.
In every territorial nation, "We The People" are rendered powerless by, and enslaved to, "The Evil Establishment". In some nations today, such as North Korea, the enslavement of We The People is visible in plain sight. In other nations, such as the United States of America, the enslavement is cleverly concealed. Every nation, without exception, is controlled by "The Evil Establishment" in that nation. In every nation, the experience of freedom is an illusion. In every nation, We The People are powerless.
It was not always so, but it has been so for a long, long time. In the beginning, our ancestors wandered alone, hunting in the darkness of night. We then began to wander in groups so that if one was attacked, the others could fight or run. Over time, these groups became tribal villages, with gender (man / woman) and age (child / adult / elder) roles. Within each tribal village, the men created order, and the women created the village. The Evil Establishment was born with empire, with men who imposed order on a scale larger than a single village.
We The People will remain enslaved to The Evil Establishment so as long as we remain powerless. Our powerlessness will remain until we are no longer ignorant. Our ignorance will remain until we become proficient at reading.
