We should not be afraid of advanced technology and AI.


We should be afraid of what the worst of humanity is capable of.


Weapons and machines never kill, torture, rape or rob people.


It’s always other people.


We are each others greatest threat and greatest hope.


If we want to build Utopia and not keep building Dystopia, then we need the right tools.


We need to use the appropriate tool for the job.


Is money the most appropriate tool for building an equal, peaceful and prosperous society?


Evidence suggests no, not by a long shot and actually creates the opposite of our intended results.


Is politics and governments the appropriate tool to manage society?


Clearly not, again the evidence is overwhelming and conclusive.


So why do we continue to use the wrong tools to achieve what we want?


It’s like using a hammer to remove a blown light bulb.


Not only will it not remove the light bulb, but you’ll end up breaking it and making a mess.


So what is the right tool then?


Well in some cases, you don’t require a new tool, you just need to remove the one which doesn't work.


We already have what we need to replace what’s broken, our own hand is all that we need to unscrew the bulb and place in a new one.


Some things are simple, some things can be made even simpler.


It’s less important to consider what this is literally saying and more important to consider the content of what it is trying to say.


Taken one step further, we can invent a source of lighting which doesn't blow and cannot be easily broken, that way we won’t even need to replace it.


Now that’s thinking outside the box!


Why spend time overcoming challenges that we don't want to?


Yes, a quality life is determined by the quality of the challenges you overcome, but some challenges are definitely preferable to others and some are never going away.


Building a fit and muscular body is a rewarding and enjoyable challenge.


So is rock climbing, or running a marathon, or having a beautiful relationship and educating your kids.


Wouldn’t you prefer to enjoy more of the challenges you choose and less of the ones you don't choose?


Now that’s an interesting question only you can decide.


If we continue down our current path and do nothing, a worsening Dystopian world is inevitable.


As George Orwell, famous author of the Dystopian fiction called 1984, said many years ago, if we want to envision the future of humanity, picture a boot stamping on a face, forever.


This is the inevitable result of a humanity that remains divided, apathetic and uninterested in change.


We need to become united in purpose, put aside our egos and differences and start prioritising what actually matters.


Again, it is less important who takes the credit for great ideas and more important that great ideas are simply implemented.


There are many topics which are very interesting and which have been covered up, but more often than not they don’t make a difference when it comes to changing things.


Let’s discuss the shape of the earth, the validity of religion and what a woman is after we deal with the totalitarian threat which equally wants to enslave all of us, no matter what you believe.


The people who control the world today are exceptional planners and they are extremely well organised.


They hide in the shadows and act as puppet masters of the most powerful and influential people in government, corporations, banks, religious organisations, police, courts, and just about everything else.


They desire power and control over others above all else because they have none over themselves.


Why else would they need to insult those who are onto them by calling them ‘conspiracy theorists’?


If they had positions of true strength and nothing to hide, why not have open, honest and fair communication to settle any false accusations?


If the people who must hide in shadows were truly powerful, then why is everything they do only about inflicting their own suffering onto others?


Is this the behaviour of strength, or failure?


They’ve failed to master their own pain so do whatever they can to cause it, to try and ease their own suffering.


When we observe the way they operate, hiding behind countless others and only operating through secrecy, we know they do this because they must.


Because they are weak.


They are not the ones we should fear.


The real enemy is our own laziness.


Some people believe that by creating a fully automated and resourced based economy, we will become lazy and not do anything productive.


People are lazy today, physically and much more importantly, mentally.


Most people choose the escalator or elevator over the stairs.


Most people park as close as they can to the shop they are visiting.


Many people prefer to binge watch Netflix over studying a new subject.


Many people order take away because they can’t even be bothered to cook their own food.


Most people defer to politicians because they are too lazy to think for themselves.


Many people trust mainstream doctors because they have no confidence in their own ability to research, or more importantly, the energy to.


Many people prefer to scroll through social media and be distracted from their own thoughts because even thinking has become an energetic burden they can’t afford.


Why?


Because they are exhausted from slaving away at a job that sucks the life from them.


They are so tired of life that they need an escape so they don’t have to think about going to work tomorrow and of all the financial problems they face which limit what they really want to do.


If you think in a world where we are all free to do exactly what we want without the shackles of money or authority to hold us back, that people will all of a sudden become extremely lazy and won’t want to do anything, you’re wrong.


You may choose to be lazy and not do anything, but most people will not.


Even now, how many people volunteer to coach their children's soccer team, or engage in after school activities or donate their time to projects supporting people in need?


People crave activities and interaction which satisfy’s their needs and brings them fulfilment.


They only seek distraction and mindless entertainment today because these fundamental requirements of being human are hardly being met, yet some people are still able to contribute, despite the collective rubbish dump we've created.


In a world where you are free to do what you want, why would you be afraid of being lazy, bored or unproductive?


If you stoke these fears, it only shows how much internal work you have ahead of you, which is great, but only if you can have the courage to admit it to yourself.


Life should be a balance between 3 pursuits.


Work, learn, play.


You combine these 3 things and achieve a comfortable balance, how can you not be fulfilled?


Yet if you cling onto ways of the past, your old mindset, your old self harming habits and unproductive egoic tendencies, then you are tying and throwing your own anchors to the bottom of the ocean, which are sure to take you on a one way ride to somewhere you don't want to be.


It is better to be broken in body than to be corrupt in mind.


It’s better to be creating new ideas that perhaps won’t be implemented than it is to be continuing to implement bad ideas.


It’s better to be physically lazy than it is to be mentally lazy, as ideas are always more powerful than physical action.


It can be easy to stop someone from taking physical action but almost impossible to stop an idea.


The pen is more powerful than the sword and a good idea more powerful than a army.


If everyone was driving around with square wheels and you invented a circular wheel, would you go back to using the square wheel because no one was listening to you?


Would you abandon your idea because it was the lazy approach to getting things done and no one else was interested?


Or would you stick with your circular wheel because it’s superior in every way?


A step further then only choosing practical physical action or theoretical mental action is to choose both and be physically and mentally active, to combine arm power with brain power for the best results.


The easiest way for someone to become passionate, healthy, energetic, productive and excited is for them to be doing things that they enjoy, it’s a very simple concept.


By creating systems that are able to handle the boring and mundane repetitive work, people are then free to pursue higher ideals, expand their education and get involved in more interactive and enjoyable parts of life.


Replacing and removing all undesirable jobs gives people the freedom to live the way they want and follow their passions.


Why would anyone want to sit around all day smoking drugs and eating junk food when the whole world is waiting to be enjoyed right at their finger tips?


In today’s world of Dystopia, most people are forced to work jobs they despise and to be disrespected by bosses they hate just so they can make enough numbers in a fantasy system to be able to trade for things they need to survive.


Compared to what we can achieve, the world we live in is hell.


We are capable of so much more and don't deserve to be treated like a commodity, to be born, indoctrinated, enslaved to a boring and dissatisfying job for long enough to be able to retire and prepare to die.


What an awful existence!


Utopia is the idea of bringing the heavens down from the imaginary skies and building it here and now, in practical and tangible reality.


Sure, you can believe in a heavenly after life, but why go through hell just waiting to be there when we can make our own version of heaven right here?


If we can’t create heaven here, why would we deserve it somewhere else?


If we don't do what we can today to make the world a better place, why should we feel entitled to a heavenly realm tomorrow if we did nothing to contribute down here?


If all we do is work and fight in the trenches, we’re simply running on a hamster wheel believing we’re making progress, when in reality we aren't getting anywhere.


If we don't focus on new ideas, inventions and innovations, then we’ll build a million awful quality roads when we could have designed a car that hovers.


We could build huge pipelines moving water from one part of the country to another, or we could simply dig a well and find water right beneath us.


The last thing we need is more of the same.


We need new ideas that think outside of the conditioned so called box many of us are so accustomed to.


We don’t need revolution, for revolution is the merry go round and the treadmill, the illusion of progress, the perfect example of the kind of action which doesn't change anything.


We need evolution.


Action for the sake of action is like growth for the sake of growth.


Do you want a tumour to grow and expand? How about cancer?


Action and growth is pointless unless there is clear and well defined objectives.


How can you take effective action if you don’t even know what your action is meant to accomplish?


What’s the point of growing if you don't even know what your growing into?


Precise goals are necessary for ones personal development.


Without goals, objectives, missions or destinations, your actions may be taking you in the wrong direction and you may be growing into something you didn't intend to become.


The same can be said for society, on a scale X 7 billion.


These are not incoherent ramblings or false promises offered by another delinquent and malicious political deceiver looking to gain power over you.


These are well thought out ideas and strategies that put power back where it belongs, to it’s rightful owner, to you.


Logic, reason and rationality is the foundation for building Utopia.


Not false promises, manipulation, deception and lies.


The more that people sit around idly twiddling their thumbs, throwing fuel on the fire, the larger and larger the fire grows. The bigger it is, the harder it is to put out.


The world has become that fire and is burning, it is our duty and responsibility to put it out, or at the very least, to stop contributing to it’s growth.


If you want to continue to live in a horrible fantasy, a nightmare, then you are free to continue voting for corrupt liars, free to pay your taxes to empower corrupt gangs, free to consume mind numbing fear based mainstream media, free to attempt to heal yourself with dangerous drugs, free to continue giving up your freedoms until you have nothing left to give but your very life.


Just because you are free to do these things, does not mean that you should and it definitely does not make it right.


Keeping things the same and not trying to make the world a better place is not appreciated, it’s not appropriate and it’s totally irresponsible for anyone calling themselves a grown man or woman.


You have the power to create change, it doesn't matter how much you may kick, scream and cry that you don't have any power to do anything, you do.


Stop lying to yourself and start being real.


Face the truth, look yourself in the mirror and get a grip on reality.


You matter, you have value, you are worthy and you are powerful.


You can make an impact and you can change the world.


Anyone who lies to themselves and says they can’t do anything is only proving they won’t be one of the people who do change the world.


Because the world is guaranteed to change, for better or for worse and it’s up to you to choose which side your on.


You have to make a choice and you have to do it now.


There is no not choosing sides and remaining neutral.


If you choose to do nothing, you’re choosing to support the worlds current trajectory of environmental and social suicide.


In something as important as this, your silence means you are complicit in the crimes against humanity.


There is nothing more important than evolving our societies.


Why would you want to be an accomplice to the most horrendous crimes that have ever been committed, the world wide totalitarian take over through centralisation of control?


When all you need to do is stand up and say no.


If you don't do anything, you’re ensuring we fail, if you do something, you’re ensuring we succeed.


It really is that simple, there is no need to complicate things.


When it comes to helping others and yourself, all you need is to be more dedicated to success than to failure.


It’s much easier to stand against evil then it is to support it.


Why choose the more difficult path when the right path is better in every way imaginable.


Have faith in yourself, your family, your friends and your people to do the right thing.


Trust yourself and your own commonsense and logic.


Look at problems from every angle.


Listen to both sides of the story and make up your own mind, do your own thinking.


We must address the root issues and we must create new solutions.


Staying the same is hard, changing is easy.


All the evidence you need to come to sound conclusions is available at your finger tips.


You must be the one to put the pieces of the puzzle together, to see the validity and potential of a better future.


Don’t fall for believing false promises given by any one person.


Believe the promise of great ideas and use that knowledge to mould your own reality.


Living by the Utopian principles and mindset is one organised and structured way we can do that.


Just because something’s never been done before, doesn’t mean it can’t.


Because if we don't get this right, nothing mattered anyway.
