Delivering Hope

Welcome to my newest blog. In the coming days, weeks and months I hope to lay out some of the details I believe are important in the current stage of our nation building in Canada.

I think we have an important role to play in the wider world where our kind of hopeful optimism and our practical problem solving abilities are much needed and in short supply.

Timetables & Motivations - Urgency - Chapter Six


I seem to have been born with an extraordinary capacity to do calculations and to estimate probability with incisive accuracy. Along with this I have a gift for strategic thinking and action which can transform situations of all kinds. I always do these things using democratic methods out of respect for all involved. I'm democratically minded. This is how I serve my Community. 

However I am not driven by ideology. Rather I do mathematical analysis and trust the math. For example I look at the evolution of war-ism in western culture. War has become the bedrock and cornerstone of some modern economies, driven by corporate values that only seek profit with no concern for sustainability or human health and safety. 
 
As already outlined they earn profits by war because they manufacture arms, munitions, weapon systems of all kinds and the other resources for waging war. But it becomes quickly obvious that this is not a sustainable practice. War will result in general destruction of most people. Children know this and can see the threat.

Add to this the rapid degradation of the environment that is associated with this warring lifestyle. People must rape and pillage all of the earth's resources rapidly in order to maintain profit curves and GDP performances. It's a mad circle of destruction, all driven by some clever economics models. 
 
I conclude from this that we need a new model if we hope to survive and want to succeed. Desire will drive our decision making processes and future behaviour. If we don't care enough to change and adapt then we will destroy ourselves. But this is an unjust legacy to drop on our children's shoulders and those of all potential future generations.

 
The oceans are being destroyed and compromised, as are all fresh water sources and resources, the air, the earth, everything is being polluted and made unsuitable for human health and safety. We can and should turn this around immediately and deliver Hope to our chidlren and to all of the world. It can begin here in Canada. 

We should do our part and provide leadership and example to others who do not enjoy our opportunities or possess resources like ours. They need our help and we cannot survive without their help. We need to explore the Common Ground.

This is NOT the legacy we want to leave for our children - a world of fear and filth and futility. We want them to have Hope.

We can do more than keep and publish statistics about species that are newly extinct or about the destruction of the oceans and the air and the soil.  We can and should act to reverse these frightening trends and facts.  As a natoin with a focused and unified public and political Will we can according to the Math.

"Together we are strong!"
