?  To COPILOT: How can we persuade the nations that while we desecrate the earth we are also hastening the end of the Human race. Unless we can end 1. the Usurious money system. 2 translate Authoritarianism into Authenticity and 3. Re discover the vital importance of Stewardship of our planet by ending the right to Ownership?.

COPILOT: To persuade nations about the urgency of these issues, we need a multifaceted approach that combines education, advocacy, and collaboration. Here are some strategies to consider:

1. Ending the Usurious Money System

• Education and Awareness: Launch campaigns to educate people about the impact of usurious money systems on economic inequality and environmental degradation.
• Promote Alternatives: Highlight successful examples of interest-free and ethical banking systems that promote social justice and sustainability.
• Policy Advocacy: Work with policymakers to implement regulations that curb predatory lending practices and promote more equitable financial systems.

2. Translating Authoritarianism into Authenticity

• Leadership Training: Develop programs that train leaders in authentic leadership principles, emphasizing transparency, empathy, and accountability.
• Public Dialogues: Create platforms for open dialogue between citizens and leaders to foster mutual understanding and trust.
• Cultural Shift: Encourage a cultural shift towards valuing authenticity over authoritarianism by promoting stories and examples of authentic leadership.

3. Rediscovering Stewardship of Our Planet by Ending the Right to Ownership

• Advocate for Commons-Based Governance: Promote models of shared stewardship of natural resources, such as community land trusts and cooperatives.
• Legal Reforms: Advocate for legal reforms that recognize and protect the rights of nature, as seen in movements like the Rights of Nature.
• Public Engagement: Engage the public in discussions about the benefits of stewardship over ownership, using examples from indigenous cultures and successful stewardship programs.
• Education: Integrate environmental stewardship and the principles of sustainability into educational curricula to foster a sense of collective responsibility from a young age.

By combining these strategies, we can create a compelling narrative that highlights the interconnectedness of economic, political, and environmental issues and the need for a unified, holistic approach to address them. This narrative can help shift public perception and motivate collective action for a more just and sustainable future.

What aspects of these strategies resonate with you the most?

Thanks Peter
As I explain in the video posted today, the institutional hierarchies that represent “nations” aren’t capable of reforming themselves because they are controlled by money, as are all the other levers of power.

However, I support the idea of Education and Awareness of all people as individuals, groups and communities because it is they that will replace the current structures.

Interest-free or “ethical” banking systems cannot promote social justice and sustainability. Banking in any form is controlling money which for most is exogenous, i.e. if we have neither labour nor resources (that are valued by money) we cannot obtain money to satisfy our needs (that aren’t valued by money). However, if we handle value directly, social justice and sustainability become inevitable.

Leadership is a fluid concept with feedback mechanisms that ensure optimal outcomes at the point of delivery. Once leadership is institutionalised, it becomes rigid, self-serving, abusive and destructive. The answer is distributed autonomous interdependent self-organisation in which leadership is by example.

The current “legal” system is commerce and bears little or no relationship to universal law. Any attempt to create laws within its framework is misdirected effort and depletion of energy.

Authentic education is achieved through co-creative learning and development. Once it is placed in the hands of hierarchical structures, it becomes the means to foster ignorance of reality.

While I applaud the intention of your ambition, it needs re-framing as a human, logical and spiritual endeavour rather than within the current system of institutional structures.
