Self-Efficacy Through Technology Theory
IF
Set theory is the mathematical discipline of well-determined collections as a means to explain relationships between groups of numbers.
THEN
SETTTheory is a multiformat discipline exploring the relationships between ideas as an effort to explain contemporary society and as a means to project potential futures.
We believe in the progression of self efficacy through technology; tools, techniques and philosophies are each different forms of technology.
SETTTheory operates as an access, evaluation, and discourse platform. With it, its users should know better what is worth thinking about and where and how to do the thinking.
This is

Self Efficacy Through Technology Theory
What is a SETT?
A SETT is a collection of THEORYs with a shared trait.
By defining SETTs, we can identify common threads that point to successful implementation of THEORYs.
What makes a THEORY viable?
S - SELF: affect individuals and society
E - EFFICACY: possess the capacity to make a desirable change
T - THROUGH: suggest the form of the desired change
T - TECHNOLOGY: require a vehicle for the change
WHY
Complex ideas are difficult to digest in our society of ‘fast culture’. SETTT explores how we can facilitate the ascent of these ideas to a broader public consciousness through contemporary media. Our hope is that by collecting diverse ideas in a new context, unique insights will embolden our collective efficacy. SETTT will pull ideas from history and today to educate our collective selves and project new ideas for the future.
HOW
A new SETT will be published every month as a commitment to the research and productive discipline.
Each SETTT will be compiled into a medium that fits its respective content, to be determined in each working period.
SETTT explores various mediums because contemporary media is virile, and SETTT aims to reinterpret it to spread something useful.
Following each publication of a SETTT, a discourse on that topic will be opened on the platform as a means to further disseminate the idea and encourage the public to consider their own THEORYs.
The act of ‘making the set’ is in itself the objective of SETTT.
WHO
The SETTT community is made up of a network of readers and collaborators.
The distillation of THEORYs to their essential ideas invites more people to collaborate in our modern media landscape that competes for shortening attention spans.
The purpose of disseminating this concept is to facilitate a network of idea making and criticism.
