The ability of intent. The ability of team work.

What is the power of intent and people? If we all decided to work together across the Earth, we could achieve incredible goals. What type of achievements might be possible?

• 4 months -1 yr to solve all food problems
• 4 - 5 yrs to reach equal socioeconomics standards globally
• 4 - 7 yrs to stop all wars
• 6 - 10 yrs to create sustainable energy for 90% of our needs
• 8 - 12 yrs to cure 90% of all diseases

If it took 4 years to start, imagine if we could be looking back from 2024 and have achieved all of that. What kind of statement is that. And it is possible. How? I am not sure exactly but I know that everything that is happening on this Earth is of our decision, either individually or communally. Therefore, it is in our ability to change anything we want.

Where to start? Join different organizations or start your own to promote whatever gets you excited. Or get involved in government. It is in our intention.

Note: I know that the subject matter of world problems is sometimes considered bland talk, thoughts of hippies or philosophers or pie-in-the-sky talk that can "never really happen". But this is all possible and we stand at a time when change can happen.

Hi Robert,

I like your thoughts about world politics and making things better. Very inspiring visions, with which I agree.

I'm not much involved in politics, myself - mostly have been doing some editing work lately, helping people write papers, etc. Being challenged to find that delicate balance between editing and colonialism: Clearly correctly for mistakes in grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity of meaning, etc. is an important part of my job. Then noticing how sometimes my creative vision gets all caught up in wanting the paper to be how I would write it, if I were writing it. But I'm not the writer, just the editor! ... so have to hold back a bit at those moments, out of respect for the author's own vision and process (even especially if I'm convinced that I could do it much better myself).

Little by little I'm learning, and eventually will probably leave the editing business altogether, and just author and co-author things.
