We need a new operating system: the gauntlet has been laid down

Readers are recommended to open the truly excellent video at Simpol – Simultaneous Policy – Global Site’, snapshot below.

Simpol had a record response during the last UK election – over 100 MPs signed up (listed here) and it has been gaining ground in several countries, becoming an international citizens’ movement  Simpol Global Site – Our Politicians

John writes:

“With Covid-19 set to send the world into a 1930s-style depression, or probably worse, pundits are busy asking whether this is the end of capitalism as we know it. It was the same during the 2008 financial crisis. But nothing much changed. We soon went back to business-as-usual. And nothing much will change this time either, at least not in terms of the basic economic Operating System (OS) that we live under and which greatly determines our lives.

”The reason is that, barring a complete system collapse, we can only go back to the existing OS because there is nowhere else for the world to go. Without any alternative OS being available which might permit fundamental change, the existing OS of course eventually re-boots itself in the same familiar pattern”.

John ends by saying:

“Fortunately, the The Simultaneous Policy (Simpol) campaign offers a practical answer to the question of how to effect this transformation. And it’s already some way towards achieving it. Already today, increasing numbers of national politicians from both right and left and across a number of countries support it.

Prominent economists, scientists and thought leaders already support it too, including Ken Wilber, Noam Chomsky, Ervin Laszlo, David Sloan Wilson and countless others. That’s because Simpol offers the most practical way of putting OS.2 in place and it answers more concerns or objections than any other global initiative out there.

“I know this is a big challenge, but time is now short. Action is needed. That’s why I’m laying down the gauntlet. Having read this far, you now have three options:

1. You can ignore Simpol and the whole vital issue of moving to OS.2, in which case you remain part of the problem.
2. You can point out some other initiative and show, in detail, how it does a better job than Simpol. And make no mistake: I have no particular attachment to Simpol. If you or someone else can show me something better, I’ll be happy to drop Simpol tomorrow and follow your alternative.
3. If 1 and 2 are not options for you, then stop being part of the problem and start being part of the Simpol solution by reading the book and signing on to Simpol and spreading the word!

 

 

“It’s your move”.
