	The primary question is how to repurpose all the R&D investments and military training to serve global human prosperity as opposed to segregated powers. Is it straightforward to reassign loyalties to saving human lives, as that was the initial contracted engagement, paid for by citizen tax dollars? Can life-threatening hardware be disposed of the same way nuclear weapons were disposed of after the cold war? Can military personnel (tough guys, many with a trained desire to kill or with PTSD) be assigned to communities where they can provide physical training to ensure all citizens, everywhere, learn to defend themselves? Such an approach could turn the world into a stratocracy, or a global citizen army, where every person will have a neighbour that can stand strong by their side in case a selfish individual or militia group ever tries to impose their physical strength and ability on a weaker individual or group. Just thoughts here that will need to be discussed in [[One House#THE BLUEPRINT]].

 Some historians and psychologists argue that the benefits of collaboration and transfer of knowledge can be traced back to over three million years ago, when the Australopithecus afarensis evolved and learned to throw stones in groups in order to survive. Fifty thousand years ago, as dramatically referenced in the recent 2023 movie release The Creator, Homo sapiens appear to have outcompeted the Neanderthal way of life through division of labour, travel and trade – the earliest signs of societies. Not in the so distant past, cities were spawned and innovation thrived in Mesopotamia; productivity (if we care to use such a word) seemed to improve (increase?) in correlation with the size of the city. Tolerance and an openness to work with others was then exemplified by Phoenician merchants who created a 22-letter language to enable the first forms of globalisation, through which they prospered for approximately two millennia.
-Though such concepts of an open society led humans to acquiring a wealth of knowledge, riches and benefits, such advancements also invited attackers and the unavoidable fear that justifies building more walls to safeguard wealth. Fast forward to today and we have an astounding number of diplomats whose primary objective is to work out trade agreements amongst the various nation states that have been formed. How has that worked out for the masses, especially during these post-covid 20203 days with tension boiling uncontrollably in affairs involving Nato/Ukraine v Russia, Allies/Taiwan v China, and Israel/USA vs Arab nations? Currencies dwindling down in value in many places such as Argentina and Lebanon where people once prospered and lived rich lives (Lebanon was referred to as the Paris/Jewel of the Middle-East only a few decades ago). The cost of living is increasing as inflation continues to rise in places like Canada and the UK. Are the states doing such a great job representing their citizens and promising them economical prosperity if they're elected? ..while only holding a four-year position when highly respected economists have warned us of the long term cycles necessary for an economy to thrive? Even more questionable is how history has shown time and again that the best state-related solutions were for the government to do nothing at all!? In such a case, do politicians’ promises - and our faith in them - make any sense at all?
