WELCOME to More FACT than FICTION! Here I hope you will find yourself thinking outside the square, questioning everything, and comfortable with that.

Today I'm re posting 'A Question for you'. I will regularly republish some of my favourite posts for new readers of more-fact-than-fiction and to encourage continuous debate about some of the more important subjects in these publications.

Let’s get right to the topic of discussion. Today at the beginning of the 21st Century we humans are still making all the same mistakes as our ancestors. You’d think we’d have learnt by now – how to create and sustain a better world for ALL people.

Obviously what we’ve done since the beginning of civilization hasn’t worked. Unless our goal was to procreate and fill up the planet; sure we’re well on the way. If we wanted those billions of people, in the main, to live a hard life, full of pain, both physical and emotional; suffer disease and poverty; sure we’ve managed that! But I hardly think that’s satisfactory – we need to totally rethink everything.

Here’s a Question for you.

Would you give up your religion, racism and politics to have a perfect world? Where one equal humanity presides. Where that equal humanity would see us evolve to enjoy a body that would stop the ageing process at age 20, and maintain that forever. Where we’d become smarter by the nano-second. Where we would never get sick or feel physical pain.

Not enough?

What if that one equal humanity was freed from physical work and needed only to think and play – liberated by a nano-technologically and quantum computerized robotic work-force, not requiring human labour to produce our day-to-day needs – leaving us to do science, to explore our universe and to live and love. And most importantly where harming or murdering a fellow human would not even cross the mind of a human.

That is the world I dream of. In my minds-eye I’ve pictured that beautiful world, where there is no war, no starvation, and no crime. Where we all get along and work together to progress our species. It’s that which moved me to write my first novel – ‘Infinity 48’ – it holds all the secretes and new thinking that could give us such a world.

Utopia can be defined as; a dreamland, bliss, or a paradise; to mention a few. I found that people scoff at the possibility of a Utopia for humans. We all like the idea but consider it an impossible dream. That’s sad.

It’s time to lift our expectations, visualize the possibilities and put a progressive plan into action. It will be up to us to make the start! Politicians only think along party lines – a year or two ahead of their next election. Countries, Religions and races only think about what’s best for their group first; as has been the way of our ancestors and primitives before them – and that is the problem. If we humans think about humans as one single united group – as the only grouping that matters; we will have a chance at Utopia.

For me, a human is a human is a human! That’s it! I absolutely believe that if we are to progress and evolve into the remarkable humans I know we can be, the first steps are for us all to be on the same page. If we all believe in each other, and as ONE, we’ll need nothing else.

Some of the solutions and some of the medical and scientific break-throughs I envisage and write about in ‘Infinity 48’ happening, seem only possible way in the future and no help to us today. I say that what we discover and how soon we discover it will depend largely on how soon we all come together as humans first and only.

Consider if you will, a perfect world in your minds-eye and work back from there – it’s not nearly as scary or seemingly impossible that way. You might also be surprised at how many solutions you’ll come up with.

Let me leave you with that for today. I look forward to reading your comments.
