An excerpt from the Introduction to the book Sharon Tate Campaign Plan MMXX © 2018 Michael A. Walker
"One of the first attempts at a more comprehensive Sharon Tate biography for the general public occurred in May of 2000. In Greg King’s book – which is at times venerable and at times apologetically exploitative – he mentions[1] that Sharon Tate usually carried with her a copy of Will Durant’s book The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the Greater Philosophers[2]when going on long voyages abroad. Durant’s brief introduction includes the following related philosophical concept that Secretary Donald Rumsfeld would later amplify regarding how the formal planning process begins to tackle wicked problems: 'Philosophy is a hypothetical interpretation of the unknown or of the inexactly known in the front trench in the siege of truth.' What we can say from this biographical detail about Sharon is that she was a self-disciplined reader well able to navigate abstract, conceptual subjects with her introspective intellect. Images of Sharon seem to almost exude this introspective personality of hers. The ability to differentiate between the known and unknown with increased fidelity leads to the development of assumptions that allow the planning process to go forward."

Excerpt from the Introduction© 2018 Michael A. WalkerLet me introduce you to a Sharon Tate that people are not much familiar with.
Sharon worked in the acting profession, amassing an enormous amount of imagery from photographs, television, and movies during her life. Taken together as a visual portfolio, Sharon’s media arsenal is a formidable force to be reckoned with should somebody go all-out. Not nearly enough has been accomplished in definitively presenting Sharon’s life despite the resources to do so. In the American psyche, Sharon Tate remains increasingly overshadowed by the evermore lurid portrayals of her murder. For me, this alone is enough to cause some reflection on the entire situation.
The power of media for good or evil is one of the greatest problems of our time. Media in all of its various forms became a cultural battlespace once robust computerization occurred within our society. There was no corresponding set of active control measures applied to the emerging cyberspace domain which assimilated all forms of media content into its bottomless pit. For lack of foresight, cyberspace was a botched transition that among other things did not have security in mind. This particular security deficiency issue would eventually drive up costs and dilute much of the benefit. There are some other ill effects worth noting as well.
Due to the striation of visual media involved in the case, this is how the Sharon Tate problem set presents itself to us today. The question is how to proceed. The first order of business would be to reflect on the problem for a while and conduct serious research with further focus on where question marks pop up as they are encountered. The next step would be to assemble the research into some kind of logical order, capture and organize the various reflections in one place, and see if and how a narrative would emanate from the collection. This would all be done before initiating a more formalized deliberative planning process.
