			'''All We Need is...'''<br>What is really stopping us from designing an alternate reality for ourselves? What is keeping us from putting together all the lessons learned from failed systems towards creating an entirely new way of life that can please and satisfy '''everyone'''? Is such a goal not even worth an attempt at a global conversation, given that we now have the 21st century tools to accomplish this? Yes, the Internet.<br><br>Wikipedia did it using this very platform, bringing together over 47 MILLION '''volunteered''' voices, to build the most thorough encyclopedia ever created by humanity. Can't we do the exact same thing, only now discuss our (unknown) future as opposed to our (known) past? We mastered language so we can reduce unnecessary friction and resolve conflicts without resorting to violence. Where is the love and forgiveness everyone preaches about in times of war? There is no "us vs them," there is only ever been "us," and our ignorance. All of us.<br><br>All we really need, is '''to talk'''. Fighting is easy. Understanding, forgiving and loving, are not so easy. It all starts with us exchanging ideas and listening to each other. Always have, always will.

			'''We Can Do Much Better'''<br>You know it. I know it. We all know it.<br>Every existing story we cease to believe in, strips away all power attributed to the authority in that story. From money, to nations, to sects and institutions, all those entrusted to lead are only in charge because we gave them that right, simply by believing that we need them.<br><br>We were all led to believe that "that's just the way it is; things will always be the same; it's human nature; those people over there are the problem."<br><br>...and we continue(d?) to believe this. I don't. Not anymore. Not for a long while now.<br><br>I hope you too will one day see what so many folks I meet all around the world already see - that change is easy in unity. Change can only happen when we (you and I) care enough to understand each other by carefully listening to each other. As in, the very thing we tell our kids to do: not judging a book by its cover, or letting the media and our so-called leaders continue to do the judging for us. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they have failed miserably at doing so. Let's talk. Let's listen. Let's understand one another, and redesign our reality, together.

Is peace really so fleeting and utopian of an idea that so many of us won't even '''try''' to resolve our differences? "We're just too different; It's their nature, we cannot change them..."

	Is a war acceptable to ~~any~~ human being that has the capacity for reason, empathy and compassion? No matter where or between whom?		Is war an acceptable solution to a human being that has the capacity for reason, empathy and compassion? No matter where or between whom? "But the others don't have that capacity" you say?

	Is it normal that such wars, not to forget homelessness, poverty and hunger all remain issues that we are dealing with today? Even if we have improved drastically over the ~~last~~ few decades ~~(e.g.~~ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factfulness:_Ten_Reasons_We%27re_Wrong_About_the_World_%E2%80%93_and_Why_Things_Are_Better_Than_You_Think Factfulness, 2017~~, Hans Rosling~~])?		Is it normal that such wars, not to forget homelessness, poverty and hunger all remain issues that we are dealing with today? Even though if we have seemingly improved our humanity drastically over the past few decades according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factfulness:_Ten_Reasons_We%27re_Wrong_About_the_World_%E2%80%93_and_Why_Things_Are_Better_Than_You_Think Hans Rosling in his refreshing book Factfulness, (2017)]?

	What if we incorporated one single lesson, of the many lessons we whole-heartedly teach all of our kids: '''united we stand''' and divided, we fall. The best leaders lead by example, do they not? So, why are we not leading '''our own children''' by example? Why are we not even '''trying''' to evaluate our dividing differences, and work out ''how'' we can stand united?		What if we incorporated one single lesson, of the many lessons we whole-heartedly teach all of our kids: '''united we stand''' and divided, we fall. The best leaders lead by example, do they not? So, why are we not leading '''our own children''' by example? Why are we not even '''trying''' to evaluate our dividing differences, and work out ''how'' we can stand united?

	Consider how all constructs in use of today (e.g. currency, nations, governments) are based on '''imagined wo/man-made concepts'''. This '''inseparably''' means that '''we can change anything''' currently adopted as daily practice, because we simply '''imagined it''' into existence, agreed on by people just like you and me! In other words, if we all stopped believing in FIAT currency right this second, it would literally cease to exist - regardless of who is managing it and who owns what. '''We really are that powerful IFF (i.e. if and only if) we stand together!'''		My father used to tell me stories about how his childhood donkey knew to avoid any holes or pitfalls from the very second occurrence he/she/it encountered it. Are we not even as wise as a donkey anymore? Fool me once... one can't help but wonder if we are being fair to animals when we see "bestial" herd mentality at play.

			The gist of it is very simple. Consider how all constructs in use of today (e.g. currency, nations, governments) are based on '''imagined wo/man-made concepts'''. This '''inseparably''' means that '''we can change anything''' currently adopted as daily practice, because we simply '''imagined it''' into existence, agreed on by people just like you and me! In other words, if we all stopped believing in FIAT currency right this second, it would literally cease to exist - regardless of who is managing it and who owns what.

			For example, if we found an alternative to the currency exchange system we currently have, which by the was Bitcoin's intentions, we could simply take on this alternative and ditch the old ways. '''We really are that powerful IFF (i.e. if and only if) we stand together!''' Since many didn't believe in crypto, Bitcoin was dragged right back into the existing narrative, now being pushed into Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Such a move will give central authorities even more control than they already have. That's literally the exact opposite of what Bitcoin was created for.

			The masses didn't believe in its potential for progress, or were to scared to shift into something new and difficult to understand. Eventually, it was incorporated into the existing financial systems where uneven wins and losses were created, where black markets learned to dominate by adopting it for anonymous transactions, and where volatility and uncertainty now rules. What if we created another equivalent, but kept it disconnected from the current financial systems? How would that turn out?
