Campaign |
Aim |
Nation states |
Build awareness of the issues, fluidity and temporary nature of competing nation states and their supporting cultures, and help people relax their attachments to them. Build awareness of the benefits of global collaboration and aggregation. |
Species Vision |
Build awareness of the need for a common vision for humanity. |
Common ethics and values |
Build awareness of the need for common ethics and values that would form the foundation of a global civilisation. |
Improve awareness of different types of governance systems and raise awareness that a new economic model is required that is fit for a global economy. |
|
Build awareness of our natural affinity for multi layered cultures, and the benefits of constructing a top level we-the-species governance culture that allows multiple sub-cultures to co-exist without conflict. Build awareness that all wars are between cultural identities, between ‘Us’ and ‘Them’ |
|
Faith systems |
Engage religions to challenge supremacist views. Can religions become sub cultures to a common global species culture? Build awareness that all religions, cultures and nations are man made. Static ideological models have caused much conflict. Help religions try to adapt their practices and beliefs to our evolving understanding of ourselves and our cosmic environment. |
National debt |
Build awareness that any system that constrains our development because of government debt is daft. There is a better way. |
Free movement |
Build awareness of the benefits and risks of no borders and free movement of goods, services and people at a global scale. |
Build awareness that while inequality is a natural result of our evolutionary system, unlimited inequality causes social problems. Build awareness of the need for national (and eventually a global) wealth tax to enable better competitive opportunities for the majority of the species. Build awareness of the need for a global minimum living wage, and common working and health standards to reduce social conflicts, aid global levelling up and support free movement. In progress - Is global ‘levelling up’ actually possible? |
|
Sustainable business |
Build awareness of how businesses and other organisations could and should be part of an overarching system and contribute to a common vision for our species. |
Infrastructure improvement |
Build awareness of the need to improve global housing, communications, energy and transport infrastructure to support a sustainable global governance system. |
Ecosystem improvement |
Build awareness of the need to interact better with our ecosystem so as not to destabilise our only home. |
Media |
Build awareness of the polarising or unifying effects of messages (written, oral and visual), and the need for editorial temperance. Build awareness that raising emotions, when targeting specific markets, can lead to the hysteria that overcomes morals and leads to violence and war. Build awareness of the need to educate users of social media who would benefit from self editing their posts and teach the ability to identify manipulation. |
Web anonymity |
Build awareness of the need to remove web anonymity from all publicly visible posts and comments. Published material should be directly attributable. |
‘Common good’ IPR |
IPR issues often restrict exploitation of technology and pharmaceuticals for 'the common good'. Raise awareness that national GOVs or a system actor such as the WHO should be able to purchase IPR for ‘The common good’. |
Languages |
Promote awareness of Language as a tool that allows us to communicate, that two languages defeat the purpose, that language can often be the basis of cultural polarisation and division, and that a single governance language would be efficient. |
The organisation promotes fundamental ideas of the proposed system to help individuals, nations, ideologies, religions and corporations get used to the idea of a common global system of government, and then ‘buy into’, and find their place within it.
Feedback from campaigns will also help refine the proposed system, and how it addresses real world problems
