Our society is not sustainable

Most of us seem to know that human society is unsustainable. And that our civilization faces collapse unless we all come together as one. Crises are inevitable including:
  1. Catastrophic climate events ... and increasingly desperate refugees
  2. L-curve distribution of wealth and power ... making democracy impossible
  3. The resurgence of Authoritarian leaders ... challenging the idea of "we are all in this together" 
  4. Diminishing common resources ... and global conflicts that necessarily arise
The simple answer is for "all the people" to come together, face these problems, co-create win/win solutions and provide responsible leadership to governments and institutions. Normally, this is not thought to be possible. But the Wisdom Council Process is a proven way to facilitate this new level of universal participation and collective intelligence.

"The ToBe Project" is our plan to FACILITATE the missing global conversation

See our written proposal to "Together 1st" ( the UN and the Global Challenges Foundation ) ... for a Global Wisdom Council Process:

Example #1—How to really solve climate change? ..

See the 3 minute trailer (and the 50 minute video) 

Example #2—How we might use a Reality TV Show to spark the missing global "We the People" conversation
