Let us start here. It's year zero. What does that mean to you? What do you want the next generation to want?
If it was zero, what supernatural event would've occurred?
What evolution?
What breakthrough?
What unity?
What red line?
Which representative?
Whose gravestone do you pray at?
If it were year zero, what would you think had happened?
What are we counting up from? Or to?
What made our predecessors restart the count? What would make us restart the count now? Today?
AI? Climate change? Ignorance of the past? The Populist, Fascist, Democratic firefight? A deep breath and forgiveness to move forward with humanities best interest at heart?..
More questions than answers.. a pathetic circular dilemma.
I wish I had answers for you... That united. That promoted your values. The panacea.
---Ignore that---
The easy answers, spoon fed, forever unavailable now. Your problems are too complex and interconnected for any one figure or answer to be anything other than a façade or boldfaced lie.
See through it. Whatever deeper institution or philosophy you can access to disarm the façade.. please do.. be brave.. don't cave.
Let's say it's zero. I'm relieved. I'm full of forgiveness for the past mistakes. I'm looking to the future, releasing all resources. Can we trust you with the responsibility? It's already all so heavily leveraged... So what's that mean in year zero...? Disassembling all obstacles to what we've set to accomplish in year one. Our newborn year to be coddled.
What do you need to be succeed, little year 0 earth society? It's ok, just ask. It's no bother, we'll make it happen. Whatever it takes, we can find the answers, we can find the energy and power. We can sacrifice. We don't want year 0 to be handcuffed or handicapped, we want every opportunity, every future available to you. Go ahead, ask for the world, it's already yours...
I don't know about you but my linchpin for the progress of time has nothing to do with anything 2000 years ago. What are we counting up from? How about we count up from past ignorance starting now, taking control, no more wayward borrowing from the future, that future is upon us. Ugliness and division behind, beauty and purpose ahead.
