Title: Designing the Earth Anew Together
Description: We have to know what kind of a world we want to live in, if the one that we live
in now we don't like.
The challenge is to come up with an idea of a world that would optimally suit us
all; an ideal that all of us on Earth could focus on and strive for--a harmonious,
truly sustainable co-existence of us all on Earth.
It has to be an ideal accessible, discussable, and amendable by every- and any-
body at all times--the germ of a true global (and, of course local at the same
time) governance--a government where the governing would be done by the
means of a "vision"1/model in common worked on, held and striven for by all
continuously.
The valid competition would be to improve on the ideal (vision/model), and to
find better ways of achieving this ideal, instead of competing for advantage over
others to the detriment of the whole, as has the prevalent practice been till now.
There would, eventually, cease any need for "leaders" and "followers"--
everyone would have the potential to take a part in embodying their own ideas
(in concert with the wishes for an ideal existence of all others) in the
continuously being shaped collective vision/model. The resulting collective
vision/model would not be static--an ideal could not remain an ideal without the
possibility of improving on it perpetually. It would be a space to resolve any
differences, controversies, conflicts, and any complaints that there ever might
arise among us; it would become a superior way of a collective self-rule.
