The Need for Designing the Future
Collaboratively:
To Whom the Future of the Earth Might Concern.
I propose
that the differences that there exist among all our ideas--ideas of
all who share this planet--about what our common existence
on this planet should ideally look like be resolved by what-so-ever
expedient, appropriate means first by modeling (computer, or
any other kind), round table style discussions at the community
level, and any such--before those differences resolve in real life,
causing real waste of lives, resources, and time occurring in real
world.
Once there is a clear idea of what we all agree that our common
existence in this world should look like, it would be practicable
to achieve this commonly held ideal.
This contrasts with the way in use now when we are mostly trying to
improve our existence in this world by forever fixing the infinite
problems stemming from our past mistakes that plague us--and
usually causing new problems to arise with our fixes--never knowing
well what kind of existence we are trying to achieve, and therefore
never achieving any kind of existence that would be fully
acceptable by all.
Please read "Designing a
Lasting Peace Together", where the need for collaboratively
designing the future of the world could be seen best.

Suggestions for Designing a Sustainable Earth

N.B.
The concept of designing the future collectively described in these
pages owes its existence to Mahayana philosophy and to ideas presented in
The Path of Least
Resistance by Robert Fritz, which I paraphrase and
quote from often, not always necessarily acknowledging this.
