More game plan for turning this world around
We can do it. All it takes is a realization.
In the last few posts I’ve been delivering my body of work, where my Substack isn’t just random comments on this and that, which it could appear to be. So that it can be understood as I intend it, I’ve been writing up a sort of one-pager of my game plan for trying to turn the world around.
Around from what? From unworkability to working. What would working be? It’s where cooperation is elemental. It’s humanity taking care of its home. Not zero-sum, that we favor now, that’s half win/half lose, but where it’s all winning. That’s our next evolutionary step — which we may never take. If we are like other civilizations, we are on the way out. Others have averaged 250 years, and we are having our 250 year birthday next year. Earth doesn’t care; we can’t damage her. It’s just us that can be devastated.
We were being challenged with apocalypse before Trump came along, where savvy writers were saying “collapse” is inevitable and the conversation should be about picking up the pieces. How would survivors run a non-industrial world? No wonder Nero fiddled while Rome burned — he didn't know what else to do. That’s where we are. It is so daunting to deal with how serious the challenge is and how devoid of solutions we are that no one goes there. If you can inform me otherwise a fast $100 has been my offer for a while now, and so far there have been no takers.
In the sense-making vein I’m touting I don't have any argument with the collapse people about being headed there, but I take issue with its inevitability. The data is damning. We are using up resources — it’s a finite planet where what’s here took millions of years to develop, and we’re diminishing our storehouse at a rapid clip now with no serious attention to the sustainability necessary for our survival.
But, what none of our doomsayers take into account is our consciousness — getting out of the material world and into the unseen one, the thinking one. What about if we didn't see ourselves as sinners struggling against one another but as divine creatures here to create a beautiful world? It’s THE path to be on, where hope is to be found. And, in one of my suggestions about a new game plan, since our civilization is skilled at selling I bet an ad agency could do a great job selling us on how we were designed for loving and how we can step into being in the family of humanity.
I’m still in that vein of drumming up enthusiasm for my game plan, and now it’s me in the flesh. This is my fourth time as Richard Dugan’s podcast guest, where I’m cheerleading for proposals I’ve been making about what to do.
During Covid, I took it on to send some cheering-up to our depressed world with what I called A DELIGHT A DAY. Since we need cheering up now as much as we did then, I’m sending along what would have been a star Delight. Be sure to watch till the end.
Here’s me in Substack Notes. I urge you to have a look at comments I’ve made to get immersed in the unique point of view I argue for.
This Substack is looking to a revolution. You could say an evolution, to a next phase of consciousness where we act from our interconnection as one humanity. Stay informed and be alert for how to be contributory.
