World peace

simply make it good where you are.

The escalating destruction in the middle east and Ukraine.

Wadda ya do?

If you are the US boss, you decide to blow up bits of terrorist Yemen. Now that’s gotta help world peace. Or not.

Blow up more things and people or stop and figure out what we all want long term, AWAY FROM IDEOLOGY. Away from power and control.

I live in the Australian bush. A thinker and a writer, some kind of trained futurist. Trained through generations. And universities and Australian Research Council research into threats and effective deflection from major loss or damage. Great response and success for effective weather warnings, but not so much for the doh! factor in the crucial bio-human survival pivot year. Blowing stuff and people up is the wrong direction.

We all have all our needs.

Some need power more than others. Force gets power; and money is power like mass and energy, in physics, is one thing. MoneyPower.

Global function with least disruption comes via democracy, with all its flaws. It can, at it's worst, throw up the powertrained Trump obsessive occasionally (America does extremes in leaders better than most - Tricky Dicky, Kennedy, Raygun, the peanut farmer … what was his name again?), but generally America muddles along. The powerful rich, the massed poor. The super military and financial power, with it’s assumptions of superiority, and its realities of its Eastern failures, now China is out from under.

But democracies are best because we can, more or less bloodlessly, kick out a powercrazed dickhead.

But there are states; based on hatred and aggression and obsessions of Abrahamic revenge and Male dominance. Abraham: monotheist, has a lot of blood and good to answer for. But we don’t have to have both, going forward. Or Chinese wandering eyes. We are all 3 years from a self-chosen local paradise. THE GREAT DEFLECTION OF THE 2020s.

Follow through these becoming portals of deflected cultural momentum. Share the link. Lets kick this on to David Attenborough. Gretta Thunberg. Heck, even …

Some years back I wrote the backbone of a 90 minute Musical - TownsvilleMusic at it’s core of creativity – as a 10 minute song, in three parts. Based on music by my dear friend Fonely; it is about the present. And the future. It looks at the rise of GLOBAL$.

The Dutch leading the world in forming a pooled investment in merchants; in first-world plunder, and the rise and fall of the Guilder. A riveting song in 7 parts. “Tulips and raptors”. It goes, with music and movement and messages and meaning, through OUR PROFOUND PROWESS to Elon Musk. He put a sportscar into space. And on. So tomorrow, I’ll start mapping that out. And on.

And the adding of morality to capitalism as a major virtue signal/reward/punishment to preferred low-impact behaviours and directions. All the sustainability stuff is known, except how to make it happen. That is our path to global peace. Where you are.

I give thanks to my partner, son and dear family and friends; most to my parents for my existence and my good luck as to the where, and the when; and to whom I was born.

The time and space and world view of a natural geographer, as you are, reading this.

With YOUR amazing brain and incomprehensible complexity of your storyline to and through 2024 to beyond.

Tomorrow and tomorrow …
