See also: Positive Thought Groups, which are also called Think Tanks. A think tank's purpose is to raise awareness about certain topics and "gather" communal thoughts toward that topic. Topics can change regularly as the idea is to invest maximum thought power over a short time period, before moving on to the next topic. The core of such think tanks is based on the simple notion that maximum thought energy (awareness) can make real change.
