We Don't Need a Miracle, We Need a Movement
Welcome to the Worldchanging
We need, in the next 25 years or so, to do something that’s never been done before. We need to consciously redesign the entire material basis of our civilization. The model we replace it with must be dramatically more ecologically sustainable, offer large increases in prosperity for everyone on the planet, and not only function in areas of chaos and corruption, but also help transform them... If we face an unprecedented planetary crisis, we also find ourselves in a moment of innovation unlike any that has ever come before. We find ourselves in a moment when all over the world, millions of people are working to invent, use and share world-changing tools, models and ideas. We live in an era when the number of people working to make the world better is exploding. Humanity’s fate rests on the outcome of a race between problem solvers and the problems themselves. We don’t need a miracle to win this race; we need a movement. We need millions more people who are committed to doing their part to embrace good ideas, find new solutions in their own work, and live and share what they learn.
