I really appreciate this article/post! Such a great perspective!
I wonder if you are saying fundamentally we all want the same thing: a world that works for everyone, where no one goes to bed hungry and has a decent place to sleep, where everyone can contribute their own unique gifts in their own unique way.
I wonder what would happen if we ALL focused on that?
If we all realized this was possible, why not want it?
Scientists already tell us the world produces enough food to feed everyone. The World Hunger Project has been saying for 40 years that all that is missing is the political will to make sure everyone is fed. I want people to vote for who want THAT.
I want politicians who know this is possible and stand for making it happen. I want the people who are willing to let go of the old paradigm of lack, limitation, scarcity and believe in abundance for all to focus the politicians that way.
I don't know if we are close to the tipping point that makes what appears to be an idealistic dream into an actualized reality...but I meet more and more people every day who are willing to believe it is possible. That's a start.
I like the reflection of that. I experienced this a lot in corporate environments. Back in the beginnings of the "digital lab era", it was often not enough to have a central lab supporting all divisions. No, one needed a specialized one. In my eyes, top managers neglected that this told everyone: do our work first, collaborate second. And years later they complained that every lab somehow came up with similar ideas in parallel.

Be careful what you wish for. :)
