Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Any new social initiative, to be lasting, in my estimation, must leave no residue. If we correct the social imbalance between men and women, for example, by harming a lot of innocent men, we’ll create residue, which will need to be addressed in the next round of dissent and unrest. And in this way the […]
Remember I said that we keep our books, articles, and databases free – relying instead on your donations – so that a poor African child using a public-library computer could have full access to them? Behold that child. (1) (From 2019) Congo student: ‘I skip meals to buy online data’ Gaius Kowene, BBC News, Kinshasa, […]
Clearly we’re not going to be able to cover all the bases on foundational values for Nova Earth in a few articles. To fill the gap, the Golden Age of Gaia, in the person of myself and Kathleen, have drawn together articles we’ve written on the philosophy of Building Nova Earth (Suzi is working on […]

We may be saying to ourselves, […]
It doesn’t matter if what threatens our society is job-consuming automation or economy-crippling Coronavirus. When we go to reconstruct, we need to remember certain basic principles. I was going to reproduce just one section of a two-part article I wrote on the subject in 1995, the section on “value is a function of agreement.” I […]
Reposted from 1995. (Continued from Part 1.) (5) The Resolution of Dissonance Creates Paradigmatic Breakthroughs In the course of creating a largescale employment project, dissonance will arise.

If we can allow ourselves to dream out loud, how might a global network of light stewards of the Mother’s wealth operate?
