In most of the world, outright slavery has largely been eliminated. Unfortunately, most of the world’s people are economic slaves. In the poorest regions of the world, wage rates are extremely low, and most people are forced to work very long hours to earn subsistence wages. The wealthier nations benefit from the products and services …

Money is like oxygen. If you don’t have enough of it to survive, you will do almost anything to get what you need. On the other hand, too much of it can be toxic! Money is merely a medium of exchange that allows individuals to accumulate credits when they produce something that other people want …

Prior to the agricultural revolution, humans were in balance with nature. Once we learned to grow our own crops and domesticate animals, our numbers grew, and we freed up more and more people to do things other than hunt or gather food. The concept of land ownership evolved. Food was bartered for goods and services …

For humankind to survive in the longer term we need to create a world united and at peace. We have become such a dominant species that we are stressing Earth’s natural balance on many fronts. If we don’t destroy ourselves first with increasingly dangerous weapons of mass destruction, we may destroy our food and water …

(Introduction) When I sit down with just about any parent and discuss what kind of future they want to see for their children and their children’s children, we rapidly agree that we would like a sustainable world, united and at peace. There are now nearly 8 billion of us on board spaceship Earth. In the …

Show me one boy and I will find a fine young man.

Show me two boys together and I will find half a boy.

Show me three boys together and I will find no boy at all.

People individually generally share many common values and aspirations and can usually relate to one another. People in groups on the other hand are capable of committing terrible atrocities against people in other groups, often fighting to the death.

Tribalism is deeply rooted in human beings after hundreds of thousands of years of ev...

The universe burst into existence about 14 billion years ago and we now have a pretty good idea how and when stars, galaxies and planets were formed. We also see abundant evidence of the chemical building blocks of life on planets, moons and asteroids throughout our solar system. Similar conditions are likely to have developed in trillions of other solar systems throughout time and space.

The question becomes where did the life force needed to animate these chemical compounds come from?

If there...

We are all passengers on a ball of molten rock hurtling through space at more than 1.5 million miles an hour. There are now almost 8 billion of us but in our daily lives most of us never stop to think that our destinies are inextricably linked.

We humans face a stark reality. The pace of technological change has become exponential while human social evolution is stuck in the dark ages. The end result is that we are going to destroy ourselves and our planet if we don’t find a way to create a worl...

Worrying about the future of humankind is second nature to me. My maternal grandmother worried about the health and well-being of her offspring every moment of her life so I have the right genes for the job. Professionally, I spent most of my career in the world of finance where I was paid to think about what could go wrong and what can be done to mitigate the risks?

With my background, I have absolutely no doubt that humankind is on the brink of a series of disasters that threaten our species a...

With divine intervention, the process of saving humankind is driven from the top. God prevents humans from killing each other and enforces global disarmament. World political leaders, with a lot of coaching from God’s emissary Sarah, come together to revamp the United Nations into a viable world governance body and initiate projects like the colonization of the moon and mars to help excite and unite the people of the planet. With a new understanding of the true nature of God, humans soon form a ...
