I develop communities online for teaching and for profit. Been doing grass roots/social activism through education for years, and have one site, Remember.org, that is an amazing example of peace in action and collaboration.
While we have the technology, my real drive is helping people connect and collaborate, which many can say yet few put into action. Remember.org literally reaches millions of students a year, is a community driven by love, peace, and a better future, and is based on stories.
Which is what I do...help people share their stories.
How Would You Create Peace?
Make peace profitable -- when all the countries that sit on the UN Inner Councils are the top weapons dealers in the world -- US, China, France, Germany, et al -- we are all working in an economy driven by war and destruction. It's influenced the way we make cars, energy, everything...it's consume and destroy, something the US is hopefully detoxing from...
And YES, the hope is so there...we have to change and make it profitable for people to live together, to not destroy each other. Green is obviously one avenue, Internet is opening many others where people can connect.
Until we address the economic underpinnings, we will have trouble moving to peace...while it won't be instant change, what is happening right now in my humble opinion is part of this shift to peace, and making it profitable for us all to live together and understand.
Or as the rabbi once said to the student who kept asking him how he became such a spiritual man....his response
