This strategy applies to all the global Monster Problems ... e.g. maldistribution of wealth, prejudice & racism, media silos and misinformation, wars, collapse of the biosphere, threat of AI, threat of authoritarianism
#1 ... Stop listening to frequent messages of experts who deny your creative capacity.
When experts say "There are no easy answers." or "There is no silver bullet", they are basically saying, "there will never be a creative breakthrough" ... Don't go there! Even the Serenity Prayer starts out, "God give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." Ask yourself, "Who is telling you "I cannot change this?" Think again. ... Of course, maybe 95% of the time this can't-do attitude can direct our attention appropriately. But notice, everything around you was once an impossible-to-solve problem. It is natural to solve impossible-to-solve issues. That's how life, not just human life, progresses. Remember to use the other 5% of your time to face and address the most important issues whether they seem solvable or not. Usually, you will have to shift your thinking to Choice-creating.
#2 ... Recognize that the big IMPOSSIBLE problems you care about (e.g. climate change) are likely caused by "the System"
Our System structures a pursuit of self-interest, competition and exponential growth. Even if our young people care deeply about saving planet earth, they must earn a living. So they get a job, which orients them to join with others in seeking profits as the ultimate value. So even if everyone in the corporation or culture values the well-being of our biosphere as most important, we still find ourselves stuck in a System serving a different set of values that will trash the planet. So, look favorably on all the good things people are doing to address climate change. Yippie! But know that we can't really solve this issue (or the others) until we transform our System.
#3 ... Ordinary solutions are not enough. The ToBe Project MUST HAPPEN!
It's as though all of us are on the deck of the Titanic addressing pressing problems like homelessness, prejudice, inequities, malware, etc. with love and compassion for our fellow humans and the planet. Of course, this is vital. But the ship is heading inexorably toward an iceberg. We can no longer rely on the design of our System (i.e. the "invisible hand") to protect us from System-caused Monster Problems like climate change, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, etc.. We can no longer be good people pursuing happiness, assuming that the ship we are standing on is safe. The ToBe Project offers a way to stop the ultimate cause for these Monsters. At a minimum, when someone seems depressed or hopeless about the direction of human society, you can tell them that you know people who think there is an "easy answer" to all of it! ... And that they can learn about it at this website www.WiseDemocracy.org.
#4 ... A natural reaction to any BREAKTHROUGH is to resist it, so stay curious and defer judgment (e.g. seeking to find the fatal flaw)
Although this System-transforming strategy has NO identifiable downside. And offers IMMENSE benefits. It's normal that people's first reaction is to seek flaws, resist it, and dismiss it. Just listening to a System-transforming strategy can FEEL like a death threat because "yes," we create our identity in relation to the System. ... Stay curious and help others, especially philanthropists, who are seeking a breakthrough, to keep questioning "Can this really work?"
#5 ... Ask yourself ... "Are you are one of Just Us?"
One big advantage of the ToBe Project is that it's holistic and facilitative. That is, we don't need to have powerful authorities behind us to begin, nor do we need lots of people. If one understands the nature of choice-creating and Dynamic Facilitation it's really up to just us. This moment requires us to step forward and convene the essential missing "We the People" conversation. Just us, plus maybe $10 million and some media partners can begin. See if you are one of "just us".
#6 ... If yes, then this is a priority
If you are reacting to the ToBe Project recognizing that "THIS MUST HAPPEN!" ... please step forward. We need money to begin. So donate if you can. Or help others to know about this good-news prospect. Or help in some other way. Maybe you can be a thinking partner, or reach out to others, or help rework this website, or write to media about your reaction to learning about this, or help us gain the attention of philanthropists, climate experts, politicians, high school students, etc.. Heck, we should be talking to anyone feeling anxiety about this issue and help them know about this good-news prospect.
