SOME OF MY THOUGHTS

Is the quality of life on this planet of the highest possible level? I think not!
Do we understand most of reality? I think not!
For progress we need to do some serious thinking out "of the box", and start working together better than ever before! Surely will most of my thoughts be of no use, so I recommend reading the good parts only. You may figure out which parts are useful ;-)


The first step towards improving the world, is trying to understand how the human mind works, because that is the main tool. Emotions are the drive, and the mind is a tool with a certain character and limits.

The second step is to use our limited & emotion driven minds, trying to understand the basics of reality. All complex things are a combination of a few basic elements, so; understanding the basics is very important.

The third step is observing life on our planet, how everything has been going so far. What feels right and what feels wrong.

The forth step is to search for ways to improve the quality of life on Earth and beyond. Make a plan, design the future. This plan should be flexible because it won't be perfect the first time -if ever. And this universe is a dynamic balance, thus the design should not be fixed too.

The fifth step is to choose a plan and start realizing it, see how it goes, learn from how it works in reality, and adjust where necessary.


Note: As these pages will probably never be finished, it can be really messy.



HOW A HUMAN WORKS

Personal Reality
Everybody has their own and unique "person reality". Which is a very lossy representation of some parts of thé reality.

Brains
A big brain (compared to a bug) and a smart body.

Life-Death
Changing Shapes

Life
What is life, and what do you want to do before you die?

Emotions
Of the many things I don't understand, this might be the most important one.



THE BASICS OF REALITY

Reality
There is a whole lot of reality, all within this universe.

Energy
Without motion everything would stand still, or not even exist when made entirely out of motion. But there is motion, and everything that contains it, moves like motion does.

Basic Elements
The stuff we are made of.

Time
Both past and future exist inside "now"

Flexible Space
The Earth could be much bigger than thousands of years ago, without us realizing it.




OBSERVING LIFE ON OUR PLANET

Good and Bad
Stupid Yin-Yang!

Bad things
Let us try prevent bad things from happening and recover well from the ones that could not be prevented!

Good things
As the first goal (preventing bad things) will probably never be finished, we can at the same time work on realizing good things.

Freedom
how much freedom is left over, and of what quality?

Dictator's tricks
Some rulers have no intention to make the world a better place. They want to rule, simply to satisfy their power addiction. How did and do they manage to control millions of people?

Birth of Technology
Right now, technology is evolving very rapidly. Where to?

Evolution of Dogmas
Survival of the fittest thoughts

Survival of the smallest
Survival of the smallest, because the smallest is often the fittest.



SEARCH FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE

Human Games
The original human game-set is pretty cool, but if we want to move further away from living stone-age style, up one level, we need to upgrade the way we live.

Individual & Collective
One person can become about 100 years old now, but a collective can live on for millions or whatever years longer.

Attention
About how the right attention can improve the quality of life, here and now.

Prevention
The opposite of watching crap on TV until the day we'll be swallowed by a disaster that could have been prevented.

Priorities
A pleasant problem is that even while being paralyzed almost completely, there's still too much I can do.

A focus of energy
So, there you are in this huge universe, with a brain that can't even predict the logical behavior of one drop of water..

School
I think being treated as a hard-disk is not good, but learning how to learn is.



REALIZING IT

My design for a better future
What's your design for a better future? This is mine -so far.

Our Future
We have a choice.

Building nano-style
A baby doesn't grow like how a toy doll is put together.
