Current forms of government are not capable of dealing adequately with any global challenges, be those global warming, terrorism, or what ever global issues. What is needed is to start consciously designing the future of the world with the participation of all those who are to share this future. It is obvious to many that this world needs to change for something fundamentally better, but there is a very little consensus of what the "better" ought to be in regards to many issues. There is a need for a mechanism that would expediently address global issues of any kind, and that would come up with solutions that would be defendable and justifiable on any grounds, and acceptable by all. This could be achieved by modeling what the ideal state of the Earth should be--including ideas about sustainability and stabilization of the environment--with the participation of anyone who cares for non- violent solutions of any global problems. In fact, it would not matter who would be inputting the ideas about a better world future into the model; what would matter would be how viable and how realistically realizable those ideas would be. Anyone not satisfied with the future thus modeled would always be welcomed to input the model with better ideas. To have a well defendable model of what the ideal state of the Earth should be would be a good start to improving of all problematical global issues. After all--there cannot be a better future for us, unless we all agree what such a "better future" should look like! The technology for starting of such a dynamically evolving model is available in the form of "open source" software, and this model could reside on the Internet by using "distributed computing" that would use any and all PC's that there are in the world--thus not requiring any physical location and a minimal outlay of money. Better to resolve differences in a model non-violently than resolving differences in real life on battlefields! Thank you. sincerely - Mr. Jan Hearthstone.
i think a global discussion on what would work in the world (as opposed to just talking about what DOESN'T work) is a good start to realizing positive change in the world. i understand you to be saying that software should be either identified or developed to harness different ideas and give them a field to be tested out in theory before direct application to the material world (do i have that right?)... so does the computer software have to come before different ideas can be gathered, compared and implemented? what can be done toward this idea in the meantime before such software is found?

Everyone has an idea, never mind how vague and imprecise, what the ideal state of things should be. Comparing these individual ideas with each other, and defending their validity on the basis of what is known about the ecological and social processes would be a good start, possible even without the use of any computers at the level of a local community where everyone knows everyone else. However, on the global level (almost every aspect of our lives has global, not local connections anymore) this would be quite impossible without using available technologies. I, even while not being a specialist of any kind, think, based on what I know of the state of technology from readings and such, that the technology that would be needed for comparing our ideas about what our future should look like is already available--I wish that someone more knowledgeable in this would give their opinion. Thanks, Hearthstone.
