Recognize that our corrupted representative democracy needs to be deconstructed meme by meme, ideology by ideology and even by paradigm, and carefully reconstructed so that the two major parties in the United States are functional, sustainable and adaptable to the challenges of the 21st century.
Realize that our greatest resource won't be AI, but will still be the untapped potential of our own citizenry; in short, human beings will be able to regrow their own organs and engage in gene therapy and live 200-150 years; we will also be able to analyze our neural network signatures for strengths and deficits and tremendously improve them through Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) tapping more than 5% of our brain cells with time.
Create a Clearinghouse of Ideas and Plans both nationally and globally so we can begin to implement much-needed solutions. We have heretofore lacked the political will, obviously. But now the American public should get rid of any politician regardless of party affiliation that can't realize that his/her constituency happens to be all of the American public, humanity and the world itself. Some of these potent ideas could be: universal dispensers and containers so that we meaningfully recycle over 95% of our containers and move away from one-use, throw-away products; along these same lines, we should create cradle-to-cradle products instead of cradle-to-grave; change the work place so that it is more relaxed and transforms itself into a more working/learning environment where people while still make everyday pragmatic accomplishments but at the same time, they can pursue self-actualization and true fulfillment; on an international level, create a United States of South America and Africa, and of Southeast Asia, etc., and a master plan so that when countries are adversely affected by global warming and/or natural catastrophes, that we have five modules of: 1) health, 2) food, 3) viable work, 4) shelter; and 5) education that can be readily put into place to give these, possibly, imploding countries self-sufficiency, as quickly as possible.
Lastly, the People Perish without a Vision.
Our human thinking has been cleverly contained within a black box where we constantly argue about supposed opposites, conservative and liberal viewpoints, religious and secular ones, etc. In short, our academicians, scientists, writers and politicians - those who can adapt and survive these times - should be pointing towards a higher humanity that can systematically achieve Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and yet, at the same time, confront and problem-solve the many global crises that we face in both a scientific and humanitarian manner. If not, the 20th century, which saw 200-150 million killed, will look like a kindergartners' fight compared to the 21st century where, at least a billion people will easily perish, if we examine just the cursory facts.
