Project fresh start, sounded like a long shot creating a synthetic socio- culture, is it even possible, and how it will influence the current socio-culture, Adi and Jacky already had their plate full with Sniff, now this, project fresh start, Jacky read the report prepared by Adi, and he had lot of questions in his mind after all this is his society.
Jacky: are you sure about this, (Asking about the project fresh start).
Adi: I am not absolutely sure but after reading this book, and the half done research suggest that, they might have attempted to create Synthetic Socio-Culture, after the crash of 1929.
Jacky: But how do you know about the intellectual boundary/periphery, and how does a book can define intellectual periphery of an individual, although I must agree there is a scarcity of leadership in my country, and it seems like people only do have business and labor mindset.
Adi: ( showing the book's lesson to Jacky ) , look carefully how the chapters are design in this book, the book starts with technique of achieving simple desire like money, love etc., but when you move up the ladder in this book, the chapters gets complicated and it explains the techniques of raising a business, or a creative idea, then when you move up its teaches, leadership skill, and finally it talks about the philosophical, intellectual and emotional aspect, like genius and genii, six basic fear of human.
Jacky: Understood, but still how does it define the intellectual periphery of an individual, let me ask in a simple manner, how this book will prove that, this or that individual belongs to this or that group of mindset?
Adi: (with a smile in his face), if you read the book carefully you will see the traps.
Jacky: I have read this book many times, it is a famous book, I am read many times this book since my childhood, but I didn't see any traps.
Adi: if you read the book, then you must have found the instructions, either to go back and read some principal of previous chapter and then come back and read it again, (Jacky was in agreement), or in some places it suggest the reader to stop reading, the book , if you understood this then you don't have to read any further, tell me what sort of book discourages its reader, not to read further (Jacky nodded his head in agreement), actually those instruction were the intellectual boundary, it checks what the individual desires to gain from this book, simple desire like money, love ,sex ,or he wants to be a rich businessman, entrepreneur, or a great leader, scientist, genius, and desire he possess is result of the mindset he has or develops over the time.
Jacky: Wow, how nicely you explained everything, I never thought of that, how do you think like that, but the most important questions, whose idea was that and why was it not implemented, this is interesting.
Adi: not only that, just imagine how your society could have transformed, actually the author was right if this knowledge was implemented in government school, it could have reduce the time and money required for imparting education, every student will get precise education based on his/her intellectual periphery or mindset, in other words education would have become surgical, look at the current system of education, every student regardless of intellectual periphery/ mindset has to study the same stuff which all other students are reading, we tend to forget that everyone's understanding capability is different than others, just imagine a nation where every individual is grouped according to his/her intellectual periphery, that nation can utilize his human resource in an effective manner, and the reason for choosing school was simple, coz kids mindset are not that rigid it is flexible in nature, it can be molded easily unlike Adults mindset, and children are the asset for a nation, if they are properly utilized, there is saying in English ''catch them when they are young''.
Jacky: wow! It seems Sniff has kicked in, in you too, (with a smile in his face), after understanding everything, it makes me wonder, are we getting dumber as a nation day by day, coz earlier those guys could think about those stuff, but now look at us, as if someone has robbed us of our identity and were are moving around like zombies, no socio-cultural identity, and the children of this nation, ha-ha (smiling sarcastically), are busy shooting each other, everyday school, mall, everywhere, who will start shooting god knows, children will become asset for the nation if they survive the shooting.
Jacky was clearly upset, coz just like methamphetamine, gun violence is also destroying the Socio-Cultural fabric of American society, problem was getting serious day by day, if the same trends continues then Adi's prediction in the report about civil war may become reality, actually when one set of mindset is suppressed to promote another set of mindset, then cultural clash becomes inevitable in any society, promoting any ideology without knowing the ground reality can be detrimental for any society, any ideology may it be religious or political can become dangerous when it hits the critical mass in a socio-culture, so before endorsing or accommodating any ideology an in-depth and unbiased analysis should be done about that ideology, and its long term effect on socio-cultural fabric.
Meanwhile in Washington DC, an ambitious man is getting ready for regime change, he had no confusion in his mind, how to execute his plan.
ALEXANDER HILL
Past X
Alex father Nicholas Hill, was a farmer, although his father was a farmer but he was well educated, he had good knowledge about politics, law, and he was an articulate person, he did farming not just for money but he wanted to stay close to the nature, and he always wanted to grow his own food, Nicholas never sent Alex to school, Alex learned from home schooling, but Nicholas had planned to send his kid to school when he will reach his late teenage (17 or 18 years).
Nicholas: Alex, ha Alex,
Alex: Yes dad.
Nicholas: Are you ready, it's getting late we should get going, where is your mom, is she ready.
Alex: I think so, mom, mom (a voice from inside the house gave reply).
Christina: coming just wait a sec, (she came out of the house), let's go I am ready.
Nicholas: honey you look beautiful.
Christina: thank you, let's go it's already getting late.
Whole family were going to a party organized by Samuel Johnson aka Sam, brother of Christina, and today is a very special occasion for Sam, Sam was getting married, Christina was very happy for her brother, and Alex was excited to see his uncle getting married, although Nicholas thought her brother was an idiot, that was his perception about Sam, Sam on the other hand was an emotional guy, he loved his sister and Alex but had his reservations for Nicholas but nothing serious, Sam thinks Nicholas is a shrewd and stone hearted guy, but Sam knew Nicholas was a gentlemen, knowledgeable guy, so he used to respect him as well.
Nicholas: Hi Sam, congratulation, on your marriage, (Sam replied with smile), who is the poor women (in a very inaudible voice).
Sam: What, did you say anything?
Nicholas: who me? No, not at all, (but Sam was looking at him suspiciously).
Sam: come man, I heard it, don't lie to me, seriously man I feel sorry for guys like you, (Sam was clearly upset, which was noticed by Christina).
Christina: what is wrong with you? Why do you hate my brother, what has he done to you, to deserve this.
Christina was right, Sam has done nothing wrong to deserve this, and Nicholas realized his mistake and started damage control, Sam went outside, standing leaning on a pillar of the house with his hands folded.
Nicholas: Hey, Sam, listen I just want to say, that I am sorry, I was joking man, I never thought you will feel so bad.
Sam: Today, at least, I thought you will not try to be little me, I guess I was wrong.
Nicholas: Be little you? I was just kidding man, get over it (with a smile in his face), anyways, what are you plan after marriage.
Nicholas was fully in damage control mode, he was trying to have a normal conversation with Sam, Sam had other issues regarding getting job, he never used to stick to one place and work, constantly shifting jobs, and he was getting married.
Sam: I don't know, I may start my own business.
Nicholas: Any idea what business you want to start.
Sam: I was thinking, furniture.
Nicholas: Furniture, do you have any experience?
Sam: yes I did work in a furniture shop, it's a profitable business.
Nicholas: Ok, if you are confident enough, then best of luck.
Sam: Thanks Nick, ok forgot to ask you something, when you are planning to send Alex to school.
Nicholas: soon.
Nicholas was hesitant to send Alex to school, in his early ages, Nicholas arranged home schooling, Alex received quality education, from horse riding to boxing, from art and literature to science, math, Anthropology, economics, logic and philosophy, for some unknown reason from childhood Alex was taught logic and philosophy, although young kids who are in 4th or 5th standard, generally were never taught logic and philosophy.
Alex was growing, and his father was concern about him, although reason for his concern was unknown, but it seemed Nicholas had planned something for Alex, Nicholas has brought his whole family to countryside, although Nicholas was a well to do man he could have afforded to live in nice comfortable home in a metropolitan city, Nicholas inherited wealth from his father, coz Nicholas was a single child,
But still Nicholas preferred to live in a countryside, why? What was the reason behind it?
Meanwhile Nicholas was lost in his thought then suddenly, Sam tapped on his shoulder, and made gesture with his hand as if asking where are you lost man,
Sam: Hello, are you thinking something?
Nicholas: (coming back to his senses), hayee, yes, o nothing, just (after a pause) nothing.
Sam: Ok let's go inside, you are getting weird day by day, (looking at Nicholas with curiosity).
Both of them went inside talking to each other like nothing ever happened between, by observing them Christina was also happy, and Alex was busy playing with other kids, and Nicholas was looking at him and thinking about the last word uttered by his father.
Nicholas Dad: Listen carefully, I wanted to tell you, oh, no, no, I want to show you something (coughing painfully, Nicholas tried to stop him), don't stop me junior, I don't have much time,(Alex was watching everything from outside, he took a book in his shaking hand and a dairy), this book contains vital information, about Synthetic Socio-Culture, Nicholas promise me you will do as I told you earlier, this has to implemented or else Socio-Cultural structure will collapse.
Nicholas: (with tears in his eyes), I remember, never let you guard down, "IN THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH A KEEN SENSE OF JUSTICE'', (with a smile in his face, old man passed away, Nicholas started crying profusely), I remember dad every word you told me, I remember, rest in peace Captain, (Nicholas kissed his father head).
What could have Nicholas father told to Nicholas, and how Alex is involve in all of this.
Before we proceed further in the story we have to understand something, for that I am writing an important message for my reader, so that the concept will be clear to you, and please remember it is very easy and it's not math.
Let me give you some basic idea about this concept, now earlier in this book you came across, a segment of message, where based on your intellect and emotion, I told you to judge every statement, just like that, this time also you will judge every statement based on their intellect and emotions, but this time you have to mention the intellectual periphery and boundary of the person who is delivering the speech, in other words you have mention which group of mindset the statements belongs. Below I have given some example
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE READER
In chapter three you were given option of intellect and emotions this time with intellect and emotions you will use mindset or intellectual periphery of that individual, let me give you some example from this book,
Let us take example of this statement,
1. "this has to be implemented or socio-cultural structure will collapse'', (Y)Le
now look at this sentence, this sentence talks about Socio-culture of a nation, intellectual periphery of this statement is of leader mindset, coz its talks about the nation, so it will be denoted by, Le
Now after determining the intellectual periphery, you have to find out the nature of the statement, meaning whether the statement is, constructive, destructive or neutral, in nature.
Let me give you another example, follow the statement,
2. "I will kill you" [(x) D] La.
It's an emotional statement, with destructive nature, this particular statements represent labor mindset,
Although it should be noted that, a statement from labor mindset doesn't necessarily mean that the person, whoever is giving this statement has labor mindset, but if a person maximum no. of statements falls in any mindset described in chapter 4, then we have to assume that, either that individual belongs to that particular group of mindset or heavily influenced by it.
Let us take another example, now look at this statement.
3. "I don't know, I may start my own business''. [{ (Y)C}La]Bu.
It's an intellectual statement Y, with constructive nature, although the statement periphery belongs to labor mindset, but the real mindset is business, so we can say statement belongs to labor, but mindset is business, hence statement inside first bracket represent, intellect or emotion, pull or push, x or y, statement inside 2nd bracket represent, constructive, destructive, and neutral, nature of statement,
and statement inside 3rd bracket represent the periphery of the statement , and statement outside the
Bracket represent intellectual periphery or intellectual boundary or mindset of an individual.
Now again you have a choice, either you can push forward with the current understanding, or you can
pull back, and again start from the beginning applying the same understanding,
Pull or Push, your call, and remember this is not math and there are no wrong answers.
Nicholas has planned something for Alex that was the reason Nicholas brought his whole family in the countryside, he remembers what his father told him, about project fresh start.
Nicolas dad: Nicholas listen carefully I am going to share an important information with you, after the crash of 1929, total chaos prevailed in US society, and that was not the first, it was found that after every major disaster, American socio-culture goes through a period of chaos, no one really knew what was the reason, until one day, one man found the reason for that, no one really know who he was, but he told that US society goes through a period of chaos after any major disaster is because of lack of deep rooted Socio-Culture, so it was decided to create a synthetic Socio-culture, but unfortunately that project never took off.
Nicholas: After every major disaster means, economic, climatic, or manmade disaster, and what project you are talking about?
Nicholas dad: All of them, it may be economic, climatic, or manmade disaster, and I am talking about Project Fresh Start, (after a pause he continued), A Fresh start for us, emotionally and intellectually, you see when our forefather expanded their territory, they fought and destroyed other culture and society, but they forgot to create their our own Socio-Culture, they were busy conquering other land, but forgot to consolidate on their own society and culture, they left a gaping hole in our heart which could only be fulfilled by a Socio-Culture, Nicholas you have to prepare Alex, build the ground work for a leader mindset, do not send him with other kids to school, provide him best education, knowledge, Skills, to face the society, to thrive in this society, to be a leader who can lead this society to new heights, although Alex has to have exposure of the society, so you will send him to school when he will have some level of maturity, at the age of 17 or 18, teach him everything that I thought you, coz if the chaos continues then one day the whole social-structure will collapse, and we may face 2nd civil war.
Nicholas listened to his father very carefully, but developing a leader mindset is not going to be easy for Nicholas, it needs, time dedication, hard work and sacrifice of self-desire, will Nicholas able to fulfill the responsibility, or will Nicholas bail out.
Nicholas: I promise dad, I promise that I will make it my life mission to make him a leader, I don't know how much I will succeed but I will left no stone unturned in my effort.
Nicholas was fully determined to developed leader mindset in Alex, even if it means sacrificing his own self desire, comfort, etc, so he decided to move out to countryside to raise Alex, he explained everything to Christina, she also agreed readily, whole family moved out to Christina's dad's house which was abandoned, Nicholas started farming there and he arranged home schooling for Alex, Alex was initially slow to learn compare to other kids, but with time Alex become fast, he used to understand faster and better than other kids who were going to school, Alex had other advantage that is the subject he was taught, when other kids were learning simple math, science, etc, Alex was learning logic and philosophy, political science, anthropology, economics, these subject were not meant for young kids, so Nicholas made this subject simple which could be understood by a kid, of 5th or 6th standard, but that doesn't mean other subject were not taught, they were taught but main focus was given on these few subjects, with theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge was also imparted, for example, horse riding, hunting, camping, survival skills, and most important self-control and observation, Nicholas knew the importance of observation, so he used to take Alex out with him in different busy places like stadium, cinema hall, market, and he used to teach him how to observe things and people better, but one day he took him to a bar, although he was a kid so he was not allowed, so Nicholas gave him some instruction.
Nicholas: Son, the reason I brought you here is because, you have to observe everything in this society, very minutely in detail, it doesn't matter what your observing is good bad or ugly, just observe and analyze, without engaging emotionally or intellectually, just observe.
Alex: ok dad. (He started observing the people who are coming out the bar he was carefully noticing them).
He saw a man coming out of the bar fully drunk, the man was so drunk that he was unable to control himself, he noticed other people around were looking at him but no one wants to come near the guy just wanted to have conversation, but it seemed everyone avoided him, Alex was curious, so he asked.
Alex: hey Mr. what happened, why are you shaking sir. (Alex was too young to understand that the man was fully drunk).
Drunk man: Shaking! My whole world is shaking, lad my whole world is shaking.
Alex: What happened?
Drunk man: I lost a fortune in gambling, my whole world shook, I am drinking to forget everything, I just want to forget everything, I need a fresh start in my life, (looking at Alex), this is not a good place for you, you should go home, ( by saying this line the drunk man moved on his path, shaking).
Alex looked at the drunk guy curiously, but he was not aware that his father is observing him from a distance, Nicholas was looking at the whole scenario very carefully.
Nicholas: Alex what happened? What did you observe?
Alex: Dad I saw a man who was shaking, and he told me his whole world shook, he lost a fortune in gambling.
Nicholas: Alex what did you observe?
Alex: I already told you dad.
Nicholas: (with a smile in his face), the thing you observe is called, superficial observation, meaning you saw him, how he appeared before you, but you have to observe deeper, like a true observer.
Alex: True Observer? How to be a true observer.
Nicholas: The individual who can see in a deeper level is a true distinct observer, not getting involved, neither getting swayed away, try to understand what he is thinking when he said, he lost a fortune in gambling, there can be two possibility for his situation, either he is very stupid who lost his hard earn money in gambling thinking he will get rich, or the fortune he lost may not be hard earned, that might be the reason he might not have understood the value of the money and he might have flattered in his pursuit of happiness, without understanding that he may be sinking deeper into hole of ignorance.
Alex was a kid that time so the word told by Nicholas, was difficult for Alex to understand, and Nicholas was aware of that, so he explained in a simple language so that Alex can understand.
Nicholas: He lost his fortune because, either he is stupid or it's not his hard earn fortune.
Alex: but dad, why didn't that man controlled himself?
Nicholas: (with a smile in his face), it's not that simple kid, if someone masters self-control, he will be the winner in life, (with a casual smile in his face, he was looking at Alex), son what you want to be?
Alex: (He was thinking for a while, then replied), I ..... I want to explore the world, meet different people, in different country around the world.
Nicholas: Before that you have to know 'thy self', and for that you have to ask the correct question, only then you can achieve your goal, know thyself son know thyself.
Alex listened to his father very attentively, and Nicholas was teaching him everything, fulfilling the promise made to his father, he was preparing the groundwork for Alex, to prepare him to be a leader.
Important Message for the Reader
Now the story will split into two part, in one part Alex story will continue, (past=pull=emotion=X).
And in other part Adi and Jacky will pursue the Sniff, and its effect on society, (present=push=intellect=Y) so please don't get confused.
Present Y
Meanwhile Jacky and Adi were thinking about the project fresh start and how it could impact the socio-culture of the nation, for Adi Sniff had a very special place in his heart, after all sniff is his brain child.
Adi: ( realizing that Jacky was upset), hey, listen, every society goes through turmoil, there are high and low in every society at different point of time, only the resilient society survives, no one can withstand law of entropy without improvising, and remember change is the only constant.
Jacky: I know that, but the question is whether the society will accept the change?
Adi: They have to when their will be no option left, let us leave this topic for now, actually I was wondering how on earth did Sniff worked on Acid, he was Alcoholic, and Sniff was specifically design for Synthetic Drugs especially for methamphetamine, is there any connection between alcohol and methamphetamine, I don't think so, or perhaps we are looking at it from a different point of view.
Jacky: what do you mean by different point of view?
Adi: Alcohol and Methamphetamine both are highly addictive, both helps a person escape the harsh reality temporarily, I think it is more like how we men perceive this kind of addiction, Sniff might have changed that primal instinct of men towards any addiction, I was thinking about our self, its being seven days since we have taken the Sniff, and I do not recall having a drink or smoking anything during last seven days, What about you?
Jacky too had the same experience, although he was not addicted to anything but he used to smoke and drink occasionally, but that to he had stopped from last seven days since taking the Sniff.
Jacky: same like you, it's true I didn't had any drink nor smoked anything from past seven days since taking Sniff, Sniff truly is effective.
Both of them decided to visit Acid to find out more about him, especially Adi his interest peeked because of alcohol addiction, the question remained how sniff affected an alcoholic person this was very interesting for Adi, so he decided to find out more about him, meanwhile Acid decided to find out where his mom lives, he had some unfinished business with her, he got the information where his mother lives and decided to go, he found out that she now lives in Flagstaff, Adi and Jacky went to his house, but they saw he was packing.
Jacky: leaving somewhere?
Scott: O, hi, yes I am going to Flagstaff, to meet my mom.
Adi: That is good, can we tag along, (Jacky was in utter surprise, and decided to talk to Adi, so he took him to a corner).
Jacky: (in a low voice) what is going on, why you want to go with him, and it is his personal matter, I think we should back off, (Adi replied in a low voice).
Adi: It may be his personal matter but we have to find out more about him, and how Sniff affected him.
Then both of them turned to Acid, and went near him, he looked surprised, he was thinking what to say to them.
Scott: I don't think it will be a good idea, coz this is something personal to me, I hope you will understand.
Jacky: no, no, it's perfectly fine, (Looking at Adi).
Adi: Yes, I understood perfectly, it was just a humble request.
Scott: Thank you for understanding me.
After saying goodbye to Scott, both Adi and Jacky left, but Adi was not satisfied he wanted to go to Flagstaff, and observe Scott.
Meanwhile Scott AKA Acid started his journey to meet his mom, he wanted something from her so he was playing nice, actually he contacted his mother and requested her to meet, she accepted his request and, she told him to come to Flagstaff.
Scott finally reached her house and pressed the calling bell, she opened the door.
Karen: Why it is so important? Why you want to meet me? I have nothing to do with you.
Scott: Mom listen, I want money, (with a smile in his face).
Karen: First of all don't call me mom, you are that chapter, that I want to forget, and I don't owe you anything, so get lost.
Scott: (with a crooked smile in his face), Listen women, you do owe me a lot, you have caused me lot of emotional pain, if needed I will drag you ass to court for my money, after all this is a capitalist economy, give me the money I need "WOMBOY".
Karen: How can you talk to me like this? And what is "WOMBOY".
Scott: You are physically a Women, but mentally a boy, you are a "WOMBOY" (laughing loudly)
Karen was shocked, she was thinking, how could her own creation, can reply her like that, externally she was angry, but deep down she admired him for standing his ground, and she started feeling guilty, after all she was indeed his mother, and Acid calm emotion less reaction was concerning.
Karen: (in a trembling voice), you can do whatever you want, I am not giving you anything, and mind your language.
Scott: (laughing loudly), ok mam, I will see you in court, beware I have nothing to lose, I am a broken man.
By saying that Scott rushed out of the house, Karen looked at him with shock and awe, he knew what to do, he was clear in his mind, he already consulted a lawyer, in other word he was fully prepared for any situation, as if Sniff has blessed him with focus of an Eagle, determination of a Spider, and resilience of a Cockroach.
Meanwhile Adi wanted to go to Flagstaff, although Jacky's focus was on Project Fresh Start, but a trip to Flagstaff won't hurt, so he agreed, and both of them went out for Flagstaff, but they were unaware, that there is something interesting is going to unfold in Flagstaff.
Adi: (Looking at some of the pages, of his report he prepared for Project Fresh Start, on his way to Flagstaff), There is an uncanny similarities between Project Fresh start and how Sniff works, as if both complement each other in an unknown way, I think we have to find the missing link between the both.
Jacky: What, missing link, Sniff is different and, Project Fresh Start is completely different, it's like comparing apple with basket.
Adi: Exactly, my point, Apple goes into the Basket that is the similarity, both complement each other.
Actually if you think Adi's observation has a point, Apple does goes into the basket, both complement each other, meanwhile Adi was thinking about something else, he was thinking about Project Fresh Start and its implication on the society, actually he was eager to share his thought on Project Fresh Start with Jacky and Vice President Hill.
Adi: (Looking at Jacky), do you remember when I told you about, revolutionizing education system based on intellectual periphery of an individual, and how it could reduce the time of schooling drastically, and therefore reducing the burden of education on students.
Jacky: yes I remember it, we had a conversation on that, but why suddenly you bring that up, I thought your focus was on Sniff.
Adi: yes it does but, still I believe both complement each other very nicely.
Meanwhile both Adi and Jacky reached flagstaff, and they came for Scott, or you can say they came to observe Acid.
Adi contacted Scott, and wanted to meet him, but Scott was busy, so he told them to meet him in the Motel where he is staying, and both of them agreed to meet him there, so they went to the motel where Scott was staying.
Jacky knocked the door, Scott came out to receive him.
Scott: Please, come inside.
(Both Jacky and Adi went inside) Jacky: thank you, how are you holding up Scott?
Scott: I am fine, nice to meet you again sir, what brings you here, why you wanted to see me?
Adi: We just wanted to see how you are holding up and …
Scott: And??
Adi: And, actually we are curious about you, coz sniff is meant for synthetic drugs, but you are alcoholic, what I mean is that, how can Sniff have effect on you.
Scott: I guess, when a person experience too much bitterness in his life, then every tiny drop of hope, fills him with utmost satisfaction, a hope for change, a hope for love, a hope for peace, a hope for accomplishment.
Adi and Jacky, both of them were impressed by the depth of knowledge shown by Scott, he is speaking philosophically, it was very strange at first but slowly, slowly both of them getting used to it, the finesse in his words .
Adi: it seems you can play with the words, I am happy that Sniff worked on you flawlessly, and I hope your wish will be fulfilled.
Scott was happy and smiling, and he should be after all those years of pain and suffering, humiliation, it seems finally his time has arrived, there is a saying in English " Every Dog has his Day", and this was his day.
Meanwhile after talking with Adi and Jacky both of them left his house, Adi was looking for some answers, did he get those answer, it seems it is difficult to say as Adi was more curious then before.
Both Adi and Jacky knew that somehow Flagstaff, holds the answer they were looking for, coz Flagstaff holds both push and pull factor, meanwhile Adi was more focused on Scott, the question still remains, how on earth does Sniff affected him, he was not crystal meth addict, Scott's answer did not suffice him.
When both of them were about to leave, call from Alexander came.
Adi: Hello, sir.
Alex: Hello, Adi, Where are you? Can we meet, its urgent.
Adi: Actually sir, I and Jacky came to Flagstaff for some urgent work.
Alex: Ok, no problem, I am also nearby, will you be staying there for tomorrow, actually I needed to talk you about something its urgent, if you don't mind.
Adi and Jacky agreed to stay in Flagstaff for two more days, as they felt Mr. Alexander was requesting so much, they don't want to disappoint him, so they agreed.
Adi, Jacky and Alex met in a diner, Mr. Alexander was already waiting for them.
Alexander: Thank you so much for meeting me.
Adi and Jacky: It is our pleasure to meet you sir.
Alexander: Yes, actually I wanted to know your perspective about "Project Fresh Start", what can you say about it.
Adi: Sir it seems, project Fresh Start was some sort of social experiment, design to create Synthetic Socio-Culture, but the big question is why it was never initiated.
Both Adi and Jacky looked at Alexander with curiosity in their eyes, as if both of them were asking them asking the same question, Alexander realizing their curiosity, started talking.
Alexander: (with smile in his face), whatever information I have about Project Fresh Start, came from my father and grandfather, have you ever heard about a group named "COUNCIL OF KNOWLEDGE''?
Both of them answered no.
Alexander: "COUNCIL OF KNOWLEDGE'' was created by the 3rd president of U.S.A. THOMAS JEFFERSON, although very few people knew about that, and amongst those few people, one of them was my forefather, their main objective was to seek new knowledge and implement it in the society, Project Fresh Start was one amongst many project started by the council, but Project fresh start was never realized, as far as I know during the late 19th century, council was sabotaged by some greedy members, they never wanted to implement this project as it would harm their own personal interest, so when then the council got corrupted, my great grandfather moved out of it, and secretly created his own group with the knowledge he gained from the council, few like-minded members joined him in his quest.
From that time onward there one and only task was to implement this project at socio-cultural level.
Both Adi and Jacky listened carefully both of them were impressed by Alexander Hill, especially Thomas Jackson, he was thinking how a person can be like this, it is very difficult to live with a grand purpose, Jacky was thinking Alex might have been raised like that, and he was right in a way, Alexander Hill was indeed raised to be a leader, his father raised him like that.
Nicholas raised him to be a leader, he deliberately wanted him to developed leader mindset that is the reason he was raised in countryside, away from everything else.
Past X
Nicholas wanted his son to have practical experience of the world that is the reason he took him to different places, like bar, market, games etc. and little Alex followed him everywhere, his father was his teacher also.
Gradually time passed by, and little Alex was a young men now he had ample amount of experience, he learned lot from his father, he wanted to join the Marine, although he was encouraged by his father to do so, and finally that day came when he joined the marine, he was chosen as spotter for sniper.
Nicholas: Son, I am proud of you.
Alex: Thank you dad, it you who encouraged me all the time.
Nicholas: A new life awaits you my
