SURVEY: Designing a Lasting World Peace Co-operatively.

SURVEY - Designing a Lasting World Peace Co-operatively.
Please read the "Designing a Lasting World Peace Co-operatively" -

first, as it would make answering the questions in the survey easier,
more to the point.

The purpose of this survey is to gather people's ideas about what an
ideal world that they would like to live in should look like; to
collect a few individual "recipes", if you'd like, that could actually
be used to make a model of an ideal world "from the scratch", as if.

Feel free to come back and fill out a new form, or just email me--
modelearth, gmail.com--if you have any new ideas. I am also thinking
of starting a forum--please let me know whether this should be needed.

The responses should be clear, easily understood, and detailed enough
so that by following those "recipes" a world (or, at least, your
corner of it) could be constructed, a world in which it would be
possible to live in. Please use terms that are easy to understand, so
that even young people could use those "recipes"--the younger a person
would be who could follow these "recipes", the better. Please try to
avoid ambiguous generalities that could be interpreted in different
ways by different people.

Very important--keep on mind that the objective is to design a world
in which a war would be an impossibility. This means that there are
very few features in our world that we currently live in (social
structure, distribution of resources, etc.) that would be usable in
designing a lasting peace on Earth. After all, so far nothing in this
world worked yet that would ensure a lasting world peace! Perhaps all
the features of the design have to be thought out completely anew!?

After there are enough many individual designs gathered, the
challenge will be to compare all the "recipes", pick out the best
features of those, and unify all the best features in one final
design--a design that would have to be judged by all the participants
as being optimal and acceptable by all. This is because we cannot live
in our own individual worlds, but have only one to share at a time.

This whole enterprise could be seen as Utopian, but there is one
important difference. Most Utopias were the product of idealistic
individuals; The lasting world Peace "Utopia" would be the product of
virtually all who would share the Earth.

Designing a world without wars has to happen with the participation
of all who are to share such a world--if only a few people would be
barred from the designing process that would already engender future
controversies and conflicts, giving a rise to even violent
confrontations. It has to be made sure that all participate in the
design--reconciling our differences in a model would be incomparably
more efficient and less costly than doing it in real time/space with a
horrendous waste of lives, time, and resources!

I'll try to devise a way how to keep everybody informed; it would not
hurt to check Google Groups-ModelEarth - from time to time to see
what, if anything, is going on. Again--would a forum be needed?
