Purpose
This site is to provide hope and direction for a BETTER WORLD - To best secure our future, so we can better live in the present and cherish our past. Understanding is shared based on experience and learning.
A BETTER WORLD provides improved quality of life for ever increasing numbers of people.
Our challenge is CHANGE. Change happens - in technology, in resources, in demographics, in information, in climate, in institutions, in knowledge. Different rates of change complicate the challenge. Social disruptions result from technology change happening faster than the ability of institutions to adopt technology.
How we manage change determines our present and future.
- Nature is our example.
- The past provides lessons.
- We, with our communities, are the resource to manage change.
Nature shows how resilient, self-sufficient communities tied to one another can adopt and manage change.
- Resilience is the ability to respond to change, both catastrophic and gradual.
- Community self-sufficiency requires food, water, energy, and security.
Communities consist of people with the needed expertise to subsist and thrive. People gain expertise by continuous practice. A mentoring culture is a proven and effective way for us to:
- Learn what we need to know, and
- Develop the expertise we need.
A path to a BETTER WORLD follows:
1. Political stability is the foundation for quality of life.
2. Broad economic opportunity is the foundation for political stability.
3. Wealth generation is the foundation for economic opportunity.
4. New technology development & application (with needed institutions) is the foundation for wealth generation.
A. Work together (collaborate) to reduce risk in commercializing new technologies.
B. Build "INCLUSIVE" institutions.
C. Establish resilient, self-sufficient communities around wealth generation locations.
5. Experts are the foundation for collaboration needed to establish institutions and build communities.
6. Mentoring is the foundation for creating experts.
