The Alt3 Strategy on how to Change the World - the domino effect in reverse: November 2011
The great weakness of the world is the fragmented nature of opinions and beliefs. The great strength of the world is the fragmented nature of opinions and beliefs. Difference is good and should be encouraged. This is wondrous diversity.
Diversity is important because who is to say who is right and who is wrong? As the world evolves there is always a need to encompass new ways of thinking, new ideas, new outlooks that can overcome challenge. Anyone who disagrees with this, anyone who consigns a people or the world to a distant past, will always be consigned to stagnation ... and to history. Thank goodness. The world is moving forward. It needs people who move forward.
However ... where as diversity is required and should be encouraged, there are some beliefs and some systems of government that not only hold back global progression but actively work towards returning the world to some mistaken vision of a "golden age" that never really existed in the first place. And in the process quite simply threaten the future of the world.
After all the sacrifice that has taken place ... should this be permitted?
No.
This is the very straightforward Alt3 strategy on how to change the world.
1. be clear where the main threats are.
2. be clear where the the "grey fuzzy" outlying areas are.
3. although you obviously want to tackle head on those main areas of threat - don't. It will be too costly.
4. Tackle the small outlying areas - piece by piece, one by one, from the inside, using their own need and forces for progressive change.
5. Piece by piece, isolate those main areas of threat.
6. Always keep your distance - but vocally support the need for change.
7. Visibly accept and support the new governments arising from the ashes of past dictators.
8. Have your allies do the same and make it viewed as popular global support
9. Piece by piece, isolate those main areas of threat.
10. Surround those main areas of threat - support their internal forces for change - from a distance - as part of a global wave of progressive change.
This chain of events started off with one single deed by one single man in north Africa, born out of sheer frustration - and quickly set the region alight to send deep ripples of consequence throughout the world. The isolated event was quickly realised as an opportunity by others.
Now ... take a look at what is happening in the world and say all that is taking place is a matter of chance. Change is good only if it is progressive change - and what we are seeing in the world today is encouraged progressive change. The fact is ... if we don't do it, who will? If we don't support what is taking place, how will the threat ever be tackled?
The age of endless, costly wars is at an end. We are entering into an age of the domino effect in reverse. This can only help to bring the world closer together, so we move forward - together. It can hardly be more destructive than what was before, or more than what was threatened by the highly dangerous regimes and belief systems of the past.
And for those "areas of threat" still out there - don't worry. No one has forgotten about you. You view the world with disdain - and so will be treated in the same way.

If you don't understand the risks, how can you prepare? Can you afford to let the issues be blurred?
