A TIME FOR CHANGE
Say we could ask a genie in a bottle for a few wishes, could we even imagine what our ideal utopian world would look like?
We've become so used to things the way they are, I don't think many of us could accomplish an act as simple as picturing a different world.
Test it out! Can you imagine a world such as the following?
⇒ No countries = No politicians = No lobbyists = No corruption = No deception/manipulation = No (modern day, useless) wars
This surely sounds absurd even to a troglodyte! What would a much wiser and evolved modern day human sapien think? Naive, ignorant or dreamy?
Let's take it even further. If we inspect this causal chain through more detailed discussion, we find that it has the potential to empower individuals everywhere and nurture diverse communal and municipal cultures. A complementary humane and universal approach to free quality human learning could eventually mitigate hunger, poverty and fear, and most importantly (as we constantly see in the news), eradicate modern day warfare.
In other words, it just may change everything we already (think we) know about how the world works (e.g. evolution vs destruction) or how people tend to behave (e.g. selfless/selfish). So then, what is stopping us from envisioning something different from the status quo - except, ourselves?
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.
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.
We now have the tech to build and implement what could be the first ever Global and Universal Direct Democracy or truly Open Government!
Do you disagree? Great, then let's competently validate - or refute - this seemingly dreamy sentiment with logic and facts in our Blueprint Discussion sections, together!
Shall we?
THE BLUEPRINT
We all need your vote - yes, your thoughts and opinions - on each and every element that matters to you.
Such a collaborative approach ensures relevance and inclusion for everyone. This inherently promotes further engagement and participation, and makes us all fully accountable for, and accepting of the choices we all eventually agree on.
Revisions are unavoidable, so amendments will certainly play a part too. This is by definition and necessity, a living document. Remember that none of this initial proposal was meant to be static. Every part of this Blueprint is open to debate, critique, and most importantly, change!
Not one of us can figure this out alone - it must be a collaborative effort!
- Administrative Regions to identify global regional needs based on topology, weather and other environmental factors
- Energy Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
- Food Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
- Water Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
- Other Natural Sources including Regional Needs and their Dispersion
- Property Ownership including Equity, Equality and Meritocracy, with a globally accepted and humane min and max
- Value Exchange Systems including Markets, Economies and Incentives, with a globally accepted and humane min and max
- Taxation flat and consistent as a globally accepted and humane value, based on the newly envisioned value exchange system
- Infrastructure such as Public Works and Shared Services that include Transportation, Communication, Healthcare and Welfare
- Policy and our overarching approach to global consensus, replacing all existing trade agreements
- Legislation basic universal human law similar to the golden rule with community-based amendments
- Enforcement to police, defend, serve and enforce the application of the universal human laws and their community-based amendments
- Human and Environmental Prosperity including Research and Development, and our Collective Human and Humane Advancement as a whole
- Personal Growth including Learning Experiences, Healthy Lifestyles and Personal Development
- 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 state to our more desirable objectives.
THE GUIDELINE, NICE AND SIMPLE
Keep your contributions civil, constructive and collaborative.
There's zero room and zero tolerance for indecency andor abuse.
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.
Curiosity leads to discovery.
Discovery sparks new feelings.
Feelings inform our learning.
Learning feeds our growth.
So Living without Growth is likely to Feel like a mundane, plateau of useless meaning andor existence.
Therefore we can say that,
Discovering, is Feeling;
Feeling, is Learning;
Learning, is Growing.
Growing, is Living.
