	~~I am~~ a social researcher ~~and practitioner~~, and ~~wrote two books, soon to be released, covering # A~~ meta-~~semiotic~~ body of understanding, a ~~sort of theory for everything, in which differences~~ between theory and practice ~~disappear~~.		'''Wilfred T. M. Berendsen''' (born 11 September 1973) is a Dutch social researcher, change manager and independent theorist. He is known for developing a self-described "meta-semeiotical" body of understanding that he calls '''practicism''' (also spelled ''practisism''), which he presents as a unifying framework intended to dissolve the distinction between theory and practice. His interests span [[semiotics]], [[phronesis]], storytelling, sensemaking, [[management]] and alternative monetary systems.
	~~# An~~ alternative ~~money system enabling a whole new world of possibilities and existences~~.

	I was born in Lichtenvoorde, the Netherlands, in 1973. Some of my educational backgrounds include the HAN university of applied sciences (at that time called HEAO Arnhem) where I graduated in Logistics and Economics. Then also I completed Business Administration at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Specialization into change management. Besides that I studied some months at the Prague University of Economics in Prague, Czech Republic. During my studies in Arnhem and Rotterdam, I also worked in the Czech Republic. Setting up a subsidiary for a Dutch company there.		==Biography==

	~~After graduation from Erasmus University, I enrolled into an SAP implementation project. Which~~ was ~~a multiplant~~, ~~cross cultural implementation~~ of ~~SAP~~. ~~Me working on~~ the ~~material~~ management ~~parts~~. ~~The material master~~, ~~stock keeping~~, ~~MRP~~, ~~purchasing and other material management functionalities. This was~~ a ~~very successful implementation, but of course this project ended~~.		Berendsen was born in [[Lichtenvoorde]], in the province of Gelderland, the Netherlands, in 1973. He studied at the HEAO in Arnhem (now the HAN University of Applied Sciences), where he graduated in logistics and economics, and subsequently completed a programme in business administration at [[Erasmus University Rotterdam]], specialising in change management. He also spent several months studying at the Prague University of Economics in Prague, Czech Republic, and during his studies worked in the Czech Republic, helping to establish a subsidiary for a Dutch company.

	After ~~it I mainly pursued my research in social sciences and practises. Already knowing that there was something fundamentally wrong with our money system and economics. Later~~ on, ~~during my research I came to understand that just all~~ of ~~sciences are based~~ on the ~~wrong~~, ~~(potentially) insane~~ and ~~damaging fundaments~~. ~~But, more importantly, I came~~ to ~~understand that ALL of sciences and practises NEED to be grounded on one sole true great underlying structure and nature of ALL of our universes.

This body of understanding for everything HAS to become the ~~new fundament for ALL of~~ sciences ~~and practises and ALL of human sensemaking~~.		After graduating from Erasmus University, Berendsen worked on a multi-plant, cross-cultural implementation of the SAP enterprise software system, focusing on the material management components such as the material master, stock keeping, [[Material requirements planning\|MRP]] and purchasing. He subsequently turned to independent research in the social sciences.

	~~Besides being~~ a ~~social researcher~~ and ~~practitioner and intellectual in change management~~, ~~I am also kind of addicted to falconry. Being~~ the art of hunting with ~~birds of prey~~.		Outside his professional work, Berendsen is a falconer, and more specifically a sparviter, practising the art of hunting with the [[Eurasian sparrowhawk\|European sparrowhawk]].

			Berendsen describes practicism as a "phronesis meta-semeiotical" body of understanding intended to unify theory and practice and to serve as a common foundation for the sciences and for human sensemaking. Within this framework he emphasises storytelling, narrating and antenarrating as methods for interpreting and reshaping social and economic life. He has also proposed an alternative monetary system, which he presents as a solution to economic and debt crises.

			Berendsen's ideas are developed and circulated independently of established academic institutions, and his framework lies outside the mainstream of the social sciences and economics. His writings have been distributed through preprint and self-publishing platforms such as the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), the Munich Personal RePEc Archive (MPRA), Academia.edu and Scribd, rather than through conventional peer-reviewed journals.

# An alternative money system enabling a whole new world of possibilities and existences.
