'''Welcome to OneHouse.''' A global, crowdsourced collaboration to design a blueprint for our shared future. Explore our foundational hubs below, participate in the dialogue, and help us rewrite the status quo.

Say we could ask a genie in a bottle for a few wishes, could we even imagine what our ideal utopian world would look like?
<div style="display: flex; gap: 15px; flex-wrap: wrap; margin-top: 20px;">


Or how about this, picture a white backdrop and ten thousand pregnant women gently giving birth to newborns. Think, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Boss%20Baby Boss Baby]; factory in clouds magically producing babies and getting them ready for their new families and homes. Only this time, try to envision a world into which YOU would want these babies to enter.  
<div class="mw-ui-background-indicator" style="flex: 1; min-width: 280px; border: 1px solid var(--border-color, #e5e8e8); padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);">


What can you dream up? What sort of world would you want these babies to enter, if you wanted them to live the best lives they could possibly live? Consider these babies to be either your children, siblings, nieces, nephews or cousins; people you care for. Try to reimagine even the concept of ''family'' and ''home'' if you need to; a blank slate or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula%20rasa ''tabula rasa''].
=== ⚡ The Big Question(s) ===
Do we know what ''world peace'' '''looks''' like? Can we '''envision''' an entirely different approach to life on earth than the one we currently '''accept''' as the status-quo? How would our planet function if we wanted everyone to have a '''good standard of living''' and '''quality of life'''?<br><br>Who gets to define '''a good life''' for '''everyone''' with '''precision'''? Can any '''single person''' or group of persons '''have''' such answers ready for the '''entire''' world to '''accept and adopt'''?
</div>


We've become so used to things the way they are, that I don't think many of us could accomplish an act as simple as ''picturing'' a different world.  
<div class="mw-ui-background-indicator" style="flex: 1; min-width: 280px; border: 1px solid var(--border-color, #e5e8e8); padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);">
=== 🎵 The Call to Action ===
Though a seemingly ambitious (utopian, dreamy, bla bla - just have some imagination and capacity for vision, will you?) objective, you and I (we) can make it our mission to define such a world. An unprecedented, globally defined and accepted [[THE BLUEPRINT|'''BLUEPRINT''']] of what life on earth could '''and should''' be like.

If you think you do, think of the sorts of people that would exist in this imaginary world - do you think you would have the same people? If you do, you'd be wrong. Ask any development or education expert on the effects of the environment - or nurture - on an individual, and you may be surprised to know just how dramatic an effect it would have on the person. So, reimagining the environment, by definition, requires the ability to reimagine ourselves, our neighbours - pretty much everything we've come accustomed to.
<div style="display: flex; gap: 15px; flex-wrap: wrap; margin-top: 15px;">


Test it out! Can '''you''' imagine a world such as the following:
<div class="mw-ui-background-indicator" style="flex: 1; min-width: 280px; border: 1px solid var(--border-color, #e5e8e8); padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);">


⇒ No countries = No politicians = No lobbyists = No corruption = No deception/manipulation = No (modern day, useless) wars
=== 🪏 The How ===
We can start right here, right now. No business can function without a vision and a mission - so, we need to define ours as a species. If you never took the time to envision anything or create a mission for your personal existence, please ruminate on that as it's quite important if you ever want to develop a unique identity.


This surely sounds absurd, even to a troglodyte. A wise and evolved, modern day human would consider this thought to be naive, ignorant or a utopian dream.  
Otherwise, you're very likely to be a victim of a system that regurgitates and manufactures herds, all living and willing to die for some made-up group. The more '''individual''' voices participate in designing [[THE BLUEPRINT|this blueprint]], the less bias, and more universal and inclusive our objectives will be. It is '''that''' simple.
</div>


Ok. Let's take it even further.  
<div class="mw-ui-background-indicator" style="flex: 1; min-width: 280px; border: 1px solid var(--border-color, #e5e8e8); padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);">


If we inspect this imaginary causal chain and assess it (eventually through more detailed discussions, is the ultimate aim here), we find that it has the potential to empower individuals everywhere and nurture diverse communal and municipal cultures. If, we can imagine a complementary humane and universal approach to free quality human learning experiences for everyone (which is a project that I have turned into my life's mission, going on 8yrs now), we could eventually mitigate hunger, poverty and fear, and perhaps most pressingly, eradicate modern day warfare.

Let your '''voice''' be your '''vote''' on '''all things''' that matter to '''all of us''' in [[THE BLUEPRINT]].


In other words, these few modifiable factors have the potential of changing everything we already (think we) know about how the world '''already''' works (e.g. evolution vs destruction), or how people '''already''' tend to behave (e.g. selfless/selfish). This inherently means that we literally know nothing of how anything would work or what anyone would be like if the world functioned in an entirely different way!

So then, what is stopping us from envisioning something different from the status quo? Ourselves? Our preconceived notions and jaded feelings?

I believe we can do better. At least, that's if we want to continue classifying our species as civilized and intelligent. Otherwise, we may as well pass off such glorified titles to the elephants, or any other species that better reflect or represent such traits; because, we don't.

If we want real change, we all need to agree on what that's going to look like. We all need to understand one another. All of us.

⚡ TL;DR — Quick Insights

Welcome to OneHouse. A global, crowdsourced collaboration to design a blueprint for our shared future. Explore our foundational hubs below, participate in the dialogue, and help us rewrite the status quo.

⚡ The Big Question(s)

Do we know what world peace looks like? Can we envision an entirely different approach to life on earth than the one we currently accept as the status-quo? How would our planet function if we wanted everyone to have a good standard of living and quality of life?

Who gets to define a good life for everyone with precision? Can any single person or group of persons have such answers ready for the entire world to accept and adopt?

🎵 The Call to Action

Though a seemingly ambitious (utopian, dreamy, bla bla - just have some imagination and capacity for vision, will you?) objective, you and I (we) can make it our mission to define such a world. An unprecedented, globally defined and accepted BLUEPRINT of what life on earth could and should be like.

🪏 The How

We can start right here, right now. No business can function without a vision and a mission - so, we need to define ours as a species. If you never took the time to envision anything or create a mission for your personal existence, please ruminate on that as it's quite important if you ever want to develop a unique identity.

Otherwise, you're very likely to be a victim of a system that regurgitates and manufactures herds, all living and willing to die for some made-up group. The more individual voices participate in designing this blueprint, the less bias, and more universal and inclusive our objectives will be. It is that simple.

Let your voice be your vote on all things that matter to all of us in THE BLUEPRINT.
