WHAT-IF?

Imagine......we have created an ideal society, where mankind can live in harmony and happiness with each other, in total balance with our environment & natural resources, healthy lifestyle and habits,scientific advancement for the benefit of all humanity,discovered the ideal political & economic structures,eliminated poverty & disease,managed to resolve all religious conflicts or intollerances, maybe even eliminated all taxes.......

What If ? ...We now had the opportunity to GLOBALLY brainstorm and design a practical and fair socio-political blueprint of a FUTURE-IDEAL MODEL that humanity could use maybe 100 or 500 years from now to govern itself and the earth we depend on? Would YOU like to be a contributing architect to define, debate and propose ideas to create such system for our children's children??

My ambition before I die one day is to put forward an ultimate MANAGEMENT MANUAL FOR HUMANITY. All inputs will be considered, debated, discussed & evaluated towards this objective, under each critical objective & success factor. ANY IDEAS???

WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THE DISTANT FUTURE OF SOCIETY?

I am an engineer living in South Africa, and Manufacturing Director of a medium size companyemploying 250 persons. This is my personal project to design an engineering solution to resolve some of the world's problems in a fair, practical and feasible manner, without ALLOWING current political, economic, environmental or social issues bias the outcome of a FUTURE-IDEAL MODEL for the world we live in. Having lived in the multi-cultural rainbow society of Southern Africa for 41 years, having experienced the MANDELA TRANSFORMATION MIRACLE first hand, seen the absolute extremes of poverty and wealth both in Africa and South America, experienced injustices of past and present political systems, seen absenteeism and attrition of HIV/AIDS take its toll in a high-unemployment society, seen the effect of education in different societies,and having experienced violent crime personally, I see it as a professional duty of each and every concerned individual on this planet to contribue towards a better life for all. The questions are:

1. WHAT are the areas of concern that we would like to see changed for the benefit of individuals and humanity?
2. WHERE should we focus first?
3. HOW can we do things better? Eradicate poverty, hunger and misery? Improve Health? Reduce violent conflict? Save the environment? Change the political landscape to get things done that need to be done? Improve individual lifestyle? Optimise limited natural and food resources? How can we raise the education level for all?
4. To what EXTENT do we have to modify our selfish behaviour to get the broad society needs understood and acted upon?

LET THE THINKING BEGIN.
