''"An Open Invitation to Reinvent Our Reality"'' 
[[#THE BLUEPRINT | ⇒ ⇒ <small>Go directly to THE BLUEPRINT</small> ⇐ ⇐ ]]
<br><br>
One House is all we have. So, why haven't we yet figured out how we can live in it better, together? <br>
<br>
Through free access to quality learning, we now have the tools we need to empower all those around us to ensure they can earn their basic human needs. This means that we can finally have an adult conversation about what we '''all''' want our Earth to look like for '''everyone'''.<br>
<br>
This platform aims to provide the space to do just that: at anytime, anyone anywhere can [[Special:CreateAccount | create an account]]  and join what may be the largest and most inclusive human conversation that has ever taken place - a monolithic human dialogue on How to Reinvent Our Reality, '''together'''!
<br>
<br>
==The Big Question(s)==
<br>Do we know what world peace '''looks''' like?<br><br>Can we '''envision''' an entirely different approach to life on earth than the one we currently '''accept''' as the status-quo?<br><br>How would our planet function if we wanted everyone to have a '''good standard of living''' and '''quality of life'''?<br><br>Who gets to define '''a good life''' for '''everyone''' with '''precision'''?<br><br>Can any '''single person''' or group of persons '''have''' such answers ready for the '''entire''' world to '''accept and adopt'''?


=== Let's Validate our Thinking and not Just Sing Kum Ba Yah ===
'''The Call to Action'''<br>Though a seemingly ambitious objective, you and I can make it our mission to define such a world. An unprecedented, globally defined and accepted [[#THE BLUEPRINT|'''blueprint''']] of what life on earth could '''and should''' be like.
Many decades ago, a Brazilian philosopher named Paulo Freire underlined the importance of individual expression. He said that the word, the ability to verbalize our thoughts, is our path to personal freedom. He also stated that Dialogue is the basis for a social contract, regardless of whether it is democratic or socialist in nature. Such sentiments echoed the likes of Wittgenstein who uttered "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world", and continue to be uttered by the likes of Jordan Peterson who [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArULvNzyxxY convincingly argues] that free speech '''permits thought'''!<br>
<small>Quick Disclaimer: Whether you're a fan of JP or RB or JR or feel your skin rise when you read their names, I'm of the neutral camp referee, where I prefer focusing on the tangible arguments that can be validated or refuted, regardless of whose mouth they come out of.
</small><br><br>
Science tells us we can't feel or discuss intricate emotions before we learn the vocabulary that helps us identify them. Test this out for yourself. Google words about emotions; find a couple that you're unfamiliar with, and read their definitions. Reflect back to situations where you may have felt in such a way and weren't fully aware of the fact. If you can't relate yet, you'll eventually '''feel''' the difference the next time you experience this newly acquired vocabulary. Please don't just take my word (or any expert's word) for it; try it. <br>
<br>
Sort of eye opening isn't it?<br>
<br>
If we embody this vision and its intended mission - really own it - we can become an unstoppable and contagious wildfire; a '''universally self-aware''' movement. We can be the ''intentionally'' unrotten apples who can influence and inspire those around us to actively and considerately pursue their inherent entitlement to owning and driving the circumstances of their (short and finite) life!<br>


=== Who are You, Really? Do you Even Know? ===
'''The How'''<br>We can start right here, right now, until we're all good and ready to do whatever it is we all decide we need to do to get there, including all plans and strategies on how we will transition to [[#THE BLUEPRINT|'''this shared vision''']].<br>The more voices participate, the less bias, and more universal and inclusive our objectives will be. It truly is '''that''' simple.
In short, I need you. We need you. We need your voice.<br>
<br>
Even if others may have told you that your voice doesn't matter; it does. Your identity isn't unique because of your beliefs or your flags, it's because of your VOICE. The way you think and act is your only, ever-learning, ever-growing, and ever-morphing identity. No one can ever place any sort of label on THAT. Not even you!<br>
<br>
Not a single one of us is a static thing - a consistent emotion or unchangeable personality, or persistent belief, or <insert man-made concept here>. Isn't that exactly what makes each and every one of us entirely different and uniquely beautiful? What gives us worth and belonging?<br>
<br>
My life is not worth more than yours. Nor yours, worth more than mine. The leaf on the tree making oxygen for us is perhaps worth more than both our lives put together. This is an opportunity to make our choices worth more than that leaf.<br>
<br>
If we want real change, we all need to agree on what that's going to look like. We all need to understand one another. All of us. <br>
<br>
We now have the tech to build the first '''Direct Democracy''' ever (an entity ran directly by its people):<br>
No countries = No politicians = No lobbyists = No corruption = No deception<br>
<br>
If we [[#THE DISCUSSION | discuss this further]], we can eventually find that this causal chain leads to further individual empowerment, nurturing diverse communal cultures and mitigating hunger, fear and most importantly, war. Yes, we can competently validate this seemingly ''dreamy sentiment'' with logic and facts in the [[#THE DISCUSSION | ''The Discussion'']] section. <br>
<br>
Shall we?<br>


=== Leverage Technology; Fear Those Who Make False Promises Instead ===
'''The Alternative'''<br>We could also leave things as they are, with war and destruction randomly spurring up around the world, hoping it stays distant and far away from us and our families. We can continue to wait for our governments to figure things out. We can let people like George Soros and Balaji Srinivasan design [https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/george-soros the Open Society] or [https://thenetworkstate.com the Network State] for us respectively, and then accept our fate as to how we should live however it is ''others'' continue to design and decide for us.<br><br>Or, we could think, what is really stopping us from designing an alternate reality for ourselves? Putting together all that we have learned from failed systems and creating an entire new way of life? Is this not even worth an attempt at a global conversation? 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?
Let's finally put our tech to good use. This MediaWiki platform is the medium that I suggest we use for however long we need it. I will manage it for us pro bono until any one of us comes up with a better idea. Everything in here is transparent and open for debate - full disclosure, and outlined on the [[Technical and Financial]] page.<br>
<br>
So '''when you feel ready''' to contribute to this dialogue, as opposed to complaining and ranting on endlessly like everyone else about the supposedly ''unchangeable'', [[Special:CreateAccount | create an account]] ('''always''' free) and '''participate''' by adding to or modifying whichever parts of '''your''' reality that you care to '''change'''!<br>
<br>
So, let's get to it! <br>
<br>
 
'''''Tech help''': Check your spam folders - my email notifications kept getting stuck there, so I'm sure yours will too. If you have any questions while I set up the skeleton for this dialogue, feel free to reach me at epangea.info@gmail.com or +13438822015''
<br>


=== Simple Guideline ===
'''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.
'''Keep your contributions civil, constructive and collaborative. There's zero room and zero tolerance for indecency andor abuse. Zero.'''<br>


Free resources are available on sites like Opencourseware.org, Coursera.org and Edx.org if you need to learn the art of constructive communication and collaboration. Once you're ready, your thoughts will always be welcome on here, no matter who you are or where you currently stand.

== The Mission in Point Form ==
<small>''([mailto:one.ouse.info@gmail.com?subject=AccountCreationRequest Ping me] if and when you decide that you want to start contributing to this conversation. I had to temporarily disable automated login creation due to endless bot attacks on the server - I will figure out what extensions I need to configure so I can re-enable this feature and automate the process. Help is welcome if you're familiar with mediawiki on linux/nginx.)''</small>
STEP1: '''We''' design a BLUEPRINT for an alternate reality based on '''everyone's''' ''vote''; that is, a reinvented and redefined vote: '''Your voice'''; your thoughts and your opinions. A vote no longer needs to be some random person's name who will speak on our behalf. No thank you. We all have the capacity andor resources to speak for ourselves now.
<br><br>
STEP2: '''We''' put together pilot, migration, transition and exit/revision plans for each part of this blueprint, to ensure that we can move everyone safely and seamlessly from the status quo to our universally-aware and ideal way of living.
<br><br>
<br><br>
STEP3: '''WE''' Execute. '''WE''' evaluate. '''WE''' tweak plans accordingly, if deemed necessary. '''WE''' proceed until '''everyone''' is satisfied.
<br><br>
STEP4: '''WE''' enjoy Life. Eventually, probably very quickly, '''WE''' will deal with new problems; only because we are human and are impressively vulnerable when it comes to creating problems for ourselves. At least, we will know that these new problems will never be the same old archaic nonsensical problems that the mass majority of us today are willing to accept any longer.
<br><br>
As all projects begin with initializing and careful planning, so should this project. This means that all stakeholders need to be considered, those directly involved, and those indirectly affected. Since this project involves everyone who has the capacity to communicate their thoughts and share their needs and opinions, as well as those who cannot, then it involves you. Every last one of you; and me; and all speechless life forms around us.
<br>


=== Beauty in Simplicity ===
== THE BLUEPRINT ==
Any troglodyte can complicate things. There is beauty in simplicity. Let's simplify our existence and make it enjoyable for everyone already.
This will be a living document and shapeable however we see fit; none of it is meant to be forever static; every part of this Blueprint is open to (and welcoming of) debate, critique, and most importantly, change.
<br><br>
If this all sounds idealistic, utopian and unachievable to you, then please read through all of the contents of this site until you have had all of your questions and concerns answered and satisfied. I've tested these thoughts for over a decade with a multitude of individuals from all walks of life. They all eventually end up pondering the possibility and hoping we can achieve this. Thing is, I don't simply "believe" or "have faith" in our ability to do this, I know your potential because I studied human behaviour and I know '''for a fact''' that we can do this!
<br><br>
By no means am I calling myself an expert on anything, no one ever is; even the so-called experts who are honest with themselves know the endless limitations of their understanding. I've simply been privileged enough with time and access to certain scientific facts that have been long identified, but have not yet been efficiently, nor freely, dissipated to the masses. Consider only how primary and secondary sources such as scientific journals have come at a cost, as have so many tertiary sources such as books. Though such associated costs may seem minor to some, they render access to information unattainable to many.  
<br><br>
Perhaps copyright restrictions need to be revisited and the compensation model revamped in favor of human progress over centralized profit? All while respecting authors and their contributions, but more than their publisher counterparts in all fairness. Open Source concepts are aligned with this line of thinking, which certainly help avoid friction such as the current debate over whether new technologies like ChatGPT should be allowed to leverage copyrighted content to generate well-informed responses. I for one would want to share knowledge that I acquire for I wouldn't know anything had my predecessors not done the same for me.
<br>


=== Typical Reactions ===
'''The Discussion and Debate Kickoff'''<br>''Imagine being a newborn baby with no knowledge of what life is like; only that you will (likely) live your entire life on this planet (we currently call) Earth. How would you want life to be? What would you create, build, engineer, design, explore, or how would you spend your time? How would you want your mother or father or daughter or son or friend or neighbour or stranger to be spending their time? How would you help them live, if you cared to?''
If you're absolutely pessimistic about humanity, consider Abraham Maslow who is reputed for the Hierarchy of Needs, but is far less often credited for his other research findings. He as well as many well-respected psychologists like him confirmed that humans are born neutral or kind in nature, '''not''' ''evil'' (for lack of better term at the moment). I'll be the first to argue that we '''all''' have the '''potential''' for evil within us; I certainly know that I do. Just think of someone inflicting extreme harm or injustice on a loved one and you'll immediately start to feel what evil I am referring to.
<br><br>
Existing societies cultivate undesired behaviour through divisions and dichotomies, fear mongering and other appeals to emotion, as well as a multitude of well-known and well-researched control tools that manipulate our innate cognitive biases. Our poor decisions and responses then spread the same way a rotten apple ruins the entire lot. We can do better than that. We just need to have a proper, comprehensive discussion on how - and provide the quality learning tools for everyone to be able to freely join this conversation.
<br><br>
Another tendency is for people to say that we can't all be the captain of the ship. Well, what exactly is a captain? A good leader isn't one that tells others what to do, but rather one that listens to, and understands what everyone needs in a given situation. A leader knows that only collaboration and clear communication will get us where we need to go. Perhaps most importantly, a leader knows when to step out of the way and let others lead the way. All of us '''can''' learn to be leaders if given the tools and opportunities to develop the necessary traits. This isn't heresy, this is fact. Lookup Child Development and you'll see for yourself that I'm not making this up. Yes, you can also teach an old dog new tricks, even if it may take more time; it's called neuroplasticity.
<br>
 
== The Status-Quo is Evidently Unsustainable ==
Our votes are failing us. Easily put, are there any governmental structures anywhere in the world that are regarded as highly satisfactory to the '''majority''' of their citizens? Are there any public servants who are actually '''serving''' the majority of their public in a highly satisfactory manner? Do we typically see action that we ask for, or do we only read or hear elected representatives and experts utter what we want, only to later face disappointing or deceiving outcomes from their policies and administration? These elected individuals are supposed to be our employees; working to make all of our lives better. Is there a mass population anywhere that sees efficient or effective labour generated by their state authorities, people who we entrusted and paid to do such work '''for''' us?
<br><br>


I, a 45 year old who was born in Lebanon and raised in Canada since 1987, and who has lived in West Africa and East Asia for over a decade, have certainly felt less than impressed by all government bodies that I have been exposed to so far. So the logical question that follows (no, that is not begging the question - lookup logical fallacies) is, what good does the concept of '''nations''' still serve us, the people? Isn't it high time we give up on the archaic notion of electing someone to speak on our behalf? What good is the Internet if we can't put it to our service and use it for what our forefathers and predecessors could not possibly dream of - mass communication, collaboration and coordination! We finally have the tools to speak for ourselves - so the only question is, what are we waiting for???  
We need to start somewhere, so why not start with ourselves?<br>
<br><br>


We can't POSSIBLY do worse than our governments seeing as how they STILL cause wars and destruction when our collective understanding reaches far beyond the intelligence and compassion necessary to avoid such illogical and universally unproductive self-harm. Let's take this opportunity to reinvent our reality. Redesign it exactly how we envision it to be - together, peacefully. There are no limits to our creativity - let's just get all our heads together and design the most relevant, modern, intelligent global reality we can possibly design for ourselves. It starts right here. With you voicing your thoughts on the matters that matter to us all the most.
''How can we maximize our human potential? At what point does human health or cognition begin to form? We already know that the parents health have a direct causation of a child's health at inception and throughout a mother's pregnancy. According to some child development theories, a psychopath that lacks trust and empathy can be created as early as ages 0 to 2 when not tended to as a baby crying for attention. This would mean that we would need to start from the very beginning of a human life and define how to nurture it to the best of our abilities to ensure everyone, everywhere has truly equal access to opportunity in maximizing their full human potential.''
<br><br>
It's time we drop all the existing veils and matrices that we were shaped into absorbing, believing, accepting and, currently living, without ever considering a united, humane and collective approach to radical change.
<br><br>
<br><br>
''I worked (am working) on an artistic approach (lyrical, instrumental, visual, etc) to sharing this vision with the world. As with all else I'm writing here, it is open for elaboration, collaboration, and all other recommendations anyone may have to make this message a universal call to action!''<br>

=== Imagine, A Borderless World ===
# [[Personal Growth]] including Learning Experiences, Healthy Lifestyles and Personal Development
What exactly is a nation? Is it a unity formed amongst a people that share a particular set of languages, arts and traditions? When we dig a little deeper, do we not find that such cultural traits differ from one region, or even one community, to the next? Do these pockets not find themselves disassociating themselves from each other as different, unique or “better” than their neighbour?
<br><br>
It seems as though community pockets have more than enough reasons to divide themselves from each other already, that one must wonder once again – what is a nation and what does it represent? Perhaps the flag is simply a representation of the central tax bank treasury which provides the shared services for collective needs, such as managing infrastructure or defending the nation?
<br><br>
So then, is a nation or state indifferent from its governing bodies that represent and work for the people, to provide such needs? <br>
<br>
I propose we dig deeper and see what we uncover.
<br>
 
=== THE DISCUSSION ===

The Big Question(s)


Do we know what world peace looks like?

Can we envision an entirely different approach to life on earth than the one we currently accept as the status-quo?

How would our planet function if we wanted everyone to have a good standard of living and quality of life?

Who gets to define a good life for everyone with precision?

Can any single person or group of persons have such answers ready for the entire world to accept and adopt? 

The Call to Action
Though a seemingly ambitious objective, you and I can make it our mission to define such a world. An unprecedented, globally defined and accepted blueprint of what life on earth could and should be like.

The How
We can start right here, right now, until we're all good and ready to do whatever it is we all decide we need to do to get there, including all plans and strategies on how we will transition to this shared vision.
The more voices participate, the less bias, and more universal and inclusive our objectives will be. It truly is that simple.

The Alternative
We could also leave things as they are, with war and destruction randomly spurring up around the world, hoping it stays distant and far away from us and our families. We can continue to wait for our governments to figure things out. We can let people like George Soros and Balaji Srinivasan design the Open Society or the Network State for us respectively, and then accept our fate as to how we should live however it is others continue to design and decide for us.

Or, we could think, what is really stopping us from designing an alternate reality for ourselves? Putting together all that we have learned from failed systems and creating an entire new way of life? Is this not even worth an attempt at a global conversation? 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 Can Do Much Better
You know it. I know it. We all know it.
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.

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."

...and we continue(d?) to believe this. I don't. Not anymore. Not for a long while now.

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.

THE BLUEPRINT

This will be a living document and shapeable however we see fit; none of it is meant to be forever static; every part of this Blueprint is open to (and welcoming of) debate, critique, and most importantly, change. 

The Discussion and Debate Kickoff
Imagine being a newborn baby with no knowledge of what life is like; only that you will (likely) live your entire life on this planet (we currently call) Earth. How would you want life to be? What would you create, build, engineer, design, explore, or how would you spend your time? How would you want your mother or father or daughter or son or friend or neighbour or stranger to be spending their time? How would you help them live, if you cared to?

We need to start somewhere, so why not start with ourselves?

How can we maximize our human potential? At what point does human health or cognition begin to form? We already know that the parents health have a direct causation of a child's health at inception and throughout a mother's pregnancy. According to some child development theories, a psychopath that lacks trust and empathy can be created as early as ages 0 to 2 when not tended to as a baby crying for attention. This would mean that we would need to start from the very beginning of a human life and define how to nurture it to the best of our abilities to ensure everyone, everywhere has truly equal access to opportunity in maximizing their full human potential.

  1. Personal Growth including Learning Experiences, Healthy Lifestyles and Personal Development
  2. Food Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
  3. Water Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
  4. Energy Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
  5. Other Natural Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
  6. Administrative Regions to identify global regional needs based on topology, weather and other environmental factors
  7. Infrastructure such as Public Works and Shared Services that include Transportation, Communication, Healthcare and Welfare
  8. Property Ownership including Equity, Equality and Meritocracy, with a globally accepted and humane min and max
  9. Value Exchange Systems including Markets, Economies and Incentives, with a globally accepted and humane min and max
  10. Taxation flat and consistent as a globally accepted and humane value, based on the newly envisioned value exchange system
  11. Policy and our overarching approach to global consensus, replacing all existing trade agreements
  12. Legislation basic universal human law similar to the golden rule with community-based amendments
  13. Enforcement to police, defend, serve and enforce the application of the universal human laws and their community-based amendments
  14. Human and Environmental Prosperity including Research and Development, and our Collective Human and Humane Advancement as a whole
  15. Culture as an umbrella for all forms of Arts, Humanely Evolving Traditions, and Celebration of Diversity


Each of these will evidently require Pilot → Migration → Transition → Exit/Revision plans (Preliminary Migration and Transition Plan) to bring us from the existing global state to our more desirable objectives.

THE BACKEND WISHBONE

The backend functionality, sustainability, theories and perspectives; the vision and mission, should we choose to accept it.


This collaborative MediaWiki approach to dialogue can help us ensure relevance and inclusion, especially as translation and accessibility software keep improving. Engagement and participation can inherently make us fully accountable for, and accepting of, the world we eventually rebuild together. Not one of us can figure this out alone - it must be a collaborative effort. 

A Good Life Lived Truly Free

Curiosity leads to discovery.
Discovery sparks new feelings.
Feelings inform our learning.
Learning feeds our growth.
Growing urges creation.
Creation provides meaning.

So Living without Curiosity, Discovery, Emotion, Learning, Growth and Creation may lead to a mundane existence, perhaps devoid of meaning. Perhaps this is when we are most susceptible to manipulation. To believing others' stories as our own.

Life does not have to be a fight. We can all choose to make our life a never-ending dance. We just need to be curious enough to discover the frequencies around us and learn to surf them together; to grow together; to create together; to live freely, together.

It all starts with you and I respecting ourself enough to value our existence, without the need for anyone else validating or affirming this for us. You and I are important simply in existing, not because anyone tells us that we are. Not our priests. Not our politicians. Not our teachers. Not our role models. Not even our parents, guardians, caregivers or any other person we trust.

We value our existence by living our authentic selves, by being, ourselves at all times, and by trusting ourselves before anyone, or anything else. That is how we form a personal identity. One that directly and indirectly impacts our environment, whether we like it or not. Our environment will shape us, but our choices dictate whether we remain static with a fixed mindset, or we self-actualize through a growth mindset. The choice is ours, and ours alone to make.

We are all teachers. We are all students. Be curious. Stay curious. Don't just observe. Don't be shy. Participate. We all need you to jump in, if we are ever going to figure this out together.
