We have a past which is chequered, like veryone else's. Successes, failures, and things which have changed in our thinking and our values.

The systems we have produced are incomplete or not current - they don't match up to what we need or want. And there is stasis and inertia in them; they have not changed for a few generations. Change will come at some point though, whether we have a say in it or not.

What shall we do to define, advocate and enact our stake in that change? What are the frontiers that we need to acknowledge and approach?

What are the spirits/ideas of our culture that we can harness to make Earth a better place?

I spend too much time commenting on and witnessing failed ideas and the consolidation of power to no worthwhile end. It's now my belief that the only earnest thing to do is to move forward with an imagining and an eventual implementation of systems which emerge beside those which are already established. None of us want to go against the system in our own lives because it punishes us if we do. So, let's make another one beside it which is better. That the old one doesn't apply to.

What are your thoughts?

Let's first have a discussion about our principles and concepts.

Please speak openly, freely and optimistically - it might be the most important thing you ever say.
