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 Blueprint).
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.
All We Need is...
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.
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.
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
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. Let's talk. Let's listen. Let's understand one another, and redesign our reality, together.

Let your voice be your vote on all things that matter to all of us in THE BLUEPRINT.
(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.)
