Young men must invent an alternative future.

Young men must become inventive



Young men are our future on this planet and when we establish a presence on Mars. But... Today young men are trapped in a social system that literally hates them. If men are young and white then they are deemed to be "evil". Perhaps even more "evil" than Putin... Ha, ha, ha... I laugh because this makes no sense - it is complete nonsense.


OK... What to do about this problem.


Young white, black, and brown must leave this social system that is so toxic for them. Where can they go? They can go to inventive and innovative cooperatives that live and work outside the current social systems that are racked with "hubris". Hubris is a human cancer that is spreading throughout the current social system. So young men must avoid this Hubris Cancer by creating an alternative future.


There is so much scope for young men to flourish as they frame new social organizations. In the 1960s young men and women created communities [communes] were they lived with "free love", organic foods, deep respect for their environs, etc. That was a cultural movement which led young people to live alternative lives based on daily drug use. It was a success and a failure. It was a much needed departure from the norms of the 1950s.


In the 2020s young men must form new tribes with different rules to those that feeds the "hubris cancer" of our times. The antidote to hubris is humility. Humility is based in trust. Trust is the foundation stone for the new tribes that must be lead and formed by our brave young men. The new tribes will be local and networked. That is to say that the actions will be based on local decision-making not global hubris as is the case today. Then those local actions can be network to the benefit of other newly forming tribes. These tribes can form loose "coalitions of interest" that will eventually replace the centralized wealth, power, and status elite who created and sustain the "hubris cancer" that is destroying young people as independent and sovereign individuals.
