We have the power to shape our Future

Develop a platform where unsolved questions, theories or ongoing research could be available to everyone, globally
It is often the case that in order to solve a particular problem, there is the need to think out of the box. My theory is that any topic or subject could gain by being seen and thought by individuals not in the field, or not in the same country, or not at the same level or age even so. It could be quantum physics or neurobiology, philosophy, cultural barriers… Being aware that those topics exist, on a global scale, would mean potentially billions of individuals working on the same project. Just like neurones can’t do much on their own, but can do marvel as a brain, we could consider each individual as a neurone in our world, that ought to work together will all the other neurones of this earth.

Let’s create a Universal Basic Needs System
We believe this system could be more effective if, instead of directly giving people money, it provided for their basic needs or used a separate currency that could only be used for essentials on a global scale. Simply giving out money, even in amounts well above daily needs, could be problematic for those who lack education or experience in managing a budget.
By ensuring that everyone has access to food, water, shelter, and clothing, we create a more level starting point than what we currently see.
When people no longer need to worry about their basic needs, they can devote more time, energy, and creativity to research, development, or personal growth.

Let’s create a Universal Human Language
There have been previous attempts to create a universal language, but with global cooperation, we could finally develop a truly common language for humanity.
This is important for several reasons:
- Languages carry the weight of their respective cultures. While English is widely recognized as the ‘international’ language, thereâs no inherent reason it should be. Additionally, for nations with historical conflicts involving English-speaking countries, using the language can subconsciously evoke resentment.
- Communication is key to unity. This doesnât mean erasing existing languages or cultures, but rather adding a universal language that everyone can speak. For culturally specific terms (e.g., ‘sushi’ for Japan or ‘baguette’ for France), we could simply retain the word from its original language.
- This could offer a fresh start, ensuring that no one has a linguistic advantage simply by being born into a particular country or language, leveling the playing field for everyone.

Let’s create a global education
Wherever we are born, our education tends to focus primarily on our own countryâs history, and often from the perspective of that country. This naturally creates biases towards other nations. Instead, we should prioritize the history of humanity as a whole, embracing our differences.
This is also closely connected to the concept of a universal language. Universal education could be taught in this global language, fostering a more unified understanding of our shared history and promoting global solidarity.

Letâs use robots to manage our basic needs
In a system where our basic needs are fully taken care of, we would finally be able to focus on what truly matters. With food, water, shelter, and clothing secured, individuals could channel their energy and attention towards creativity, innovation, and personal development, rather than being burdened by the struggle for survival.

Letâs use robots to handle tasks that are too harsh or dangerous for humans.
Wherever possible, using robots for tasks that are too harsh or dangerous for humans would help prevent unnecessary injuries, illnesses, and even fatalities.
