Shelby, I like the cut of your jibe and have been thinking about recruiting 100 writers from Medium to focus our existential fire on one idea and in so doing change consensus reality. The Power of Agreement is all there is really. I look at the writers on Medium as unattached Ronin, wordical champions without a cause worthy of support. What to focus on is the problem, to focus or not to focus is the question. You have chosen cryto, which I like and have a plan to use but think there is a deeper more universal concept that can use cryto, Universal Birthright.

Universal Birthright is the idea that we all have an individual claim to a share of the natural resources of the land by the sole virtue of birth. This changes everything, principally our own self concept and our attitude and concept of other people. Capitalism has the oil revenue going to a corporation, Socialism has the oil revenue going to the government, Universal Birthright has the oil revenue going directly to the people by the sole virtue of birth. The folks that work in the energy fields will still be paid but will also get their share. We can do this by Agreement. Shelby, this is worth doing to end the wars for resources and reunite the family.

I have written a lot about this and how most of our problems as a group stem from our individual psychologies and myths.

Our parents tell us that the world is a Jungle, work hard, get a good education because you have nothing coming, welcome to Hell. From the time we hear this a wall rises up between ourselves and every other human being that we now have to compete with for survival. This is the lie and the foundation of all religions, political parties and the source of Trump’s Wall, fear of others.

I want to change that initial myth with the truth and a higher line.

When our children ask us what is life all about we should tell them that they are heirs and joint heirs to a fortune of wealth and resources that they share with everyone they know and everyone they do not know. Welcome to Paradise, learn how to preserve, protect and grow.

So that is the idea I want 100 heroes to propagate with all of the vigor, creativity and soul they can marshal. read Hard Seed
