Check out the book
We Are Not Ants! is a guide book for the well-informed optimist. A book against the current zeitgeist of pessimism and world-weariness in 3 chapters.
Chapter 1: What is going well
As a species, we are more advanced, better prepared, more aware of our rights, and more united to resolve global challenges. This helps create more opportunities for us all, regardless of race, sex, age, social status or human condition, to freely develop and enjoy the benefits of progress.
Chapter 2: What is not going well
Although we have seen progress in almost all aspects of our lives, we continue to suffer from unacceptable conditions in our relations with each other and with the environment, perpetuated by unsustainable lifestyles. Not all human beings’ basic fundamental rights are being protected. Big parts of the population continue to live in extreme poverty. Some diseases continue to spread even though we know how to stop them.
Chapter 3: What you can do about it
Today we can do more than ever before. And, in fact, we are already doing it. Different movements among citizens are creating change in all of these aspects and making a world that is fairer and more accessible, sustainable, and unified. It’s not a question of whether the world can be changed, but a question of whether you want to be a part of this changing world.
