This tool, the one we are playing ‘social mall’ on, is capable of transforming the human species practically overnight. We are sitting on the single most revolutionary social technology in human history.
But we have no idea what to do with it for a simple reason.
We cannot remember what it means to truly be… together. Or -what it can mean, right now-… what -we- mean. And so we cannot see that the powers and opportunities we have right here, right now, are greater than any array of collective of human forces on our planet.
We do not really know what to do with ourselves. Or each other… in an extended social milieu. In fact, we really do not have much of an idea how to found a nation, since we have never done (or seen, really) anything like that.
But we must do -more- than found a nation. We must found -a future for our species and world- from the swarming knot of inbred crises our current failure to advance our social, ecological, and relational intelligence is producing, and advancing… instead of something worthy of our lives, struggle, and birthrights.
And with this tool, we can change -anything- overnight. Instantly. No disappointingly useless petitions. No endlessly toxic war. In fact, no fighting. None.
But to enable this, we must radically adjust not only our perspectives and priorities… but… how we think about what it means to be human together, and what this might become if we could raise the basic level of communication and intelligence by even the slightest degree…
