We are going through it.

An Affordability Crisis. Economic Hardship. Surveillance State. The Rise of AI and Machine Automation. Mass Unemployment. Stripped Individual Rights. Growing Income Inequality. Ego-Driven International Conflicts. Authoritarianism. Not to mention the Global Climate Crisis, which is intensifying weather events, famines, wildfires, floods, droughts, and other natural disasters.

 

Everyday, it seems like a new flame sparks.

 

This ongoing firefighting, which has only intensified in the past few years, can be dizzying and disorienting and plays right into the oppressor's goal of suppressing the population. The immediate reaction is to extinguish each flame before it can grow. But while we are busy putting out these small fires, we temporarily forget about the raging inferno surrounding us.

 

We fail to realize that these fires are not the problem, but symptoms of an underlying crisis that has gripped humanity.

Here is where the Five Pillars come in. 

 

The Five Pillars bring focus to the root causes of the Disease. Each pillar represents a structure within society that needs to be challenged and changed from the inside out. These solutions may be hard to swallow for some, but if one thing is clear, it is that it is our responsibility to do everything to ensure a free and livable future for our society and for generations to come.

 

I believe these ideas will find traction once they reach the eyes and ears of the People, pulling our focus back to unity and the power of the collective to activate social change. 

 

Together, we can transform society from an extractive and deteriorating capitalist empire into an equitable and loving New Earth suitable for all.
