To get to 100% we have to get to 100%

To get to 100% we have to get to 100%. All have to be invited. No one excluded. No one excepted because “She wouldn’t be interested.” No one not invited because he is too intimidating. To get to 100% we have to invite 100%. Whole-heartedly.

Of course, we cannot change people

Of course, we cannot change people. People change themselves. We change ourselves. We change others by interacting with them, not by imposing ourselves on them, rather by exposing our most intimate selves to them. We change others by exchanging our stories, our truths. If you keep the argument at the level of concepts, you will keep the argument. If you move to the level of personal essence, then we stand a chance. We.

Inviting 100% of the people

How do we include all those people? First, my view needs to widen enough to embrace all these world stances: to allow people who just want to follow to do so, to allow those who want to control a way to do so; to allow people to be whom they are and want to be. Second, an education challenge awaits: to bring people to a place where they can see others’ points of view.

Some want a world that works for 100% of the people—some not. The some not need to be exposed to the benefits of doing so. We cannot impose upon them, neither ethically nor in point of fact. But those of us who see it is possible can help others see what is possible—help them see another island-star upon which to stand—and this will move us toward critical mass.

So we invite more people, we tell the story more.

100% of humanity

From Buckminster Fuller: “To make the world work for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or disadvantage of anyone.” That was the stated purpose of his World Game and Design Science. It got me to thinking: How can the world work for 100% of the people—through spontaneous cooperation?

Some will want to be creative—some not.

Some will want to argue—some not.

Some will want to cooperate—some not.

Some want to control—some not.

Some are ill—some not.

Some are mentally well—some not.

Some are good—some not.

Some want a world that works for 100% of the people—some not.

How do we include all those people?
