We can land 12 men on the moon, but we can't create a society where everyone earns $60 000 or $100,000 a year?
I'm watching a YouTube video of Dr. Yunus speaking to students in Canada, and he is saying: 'Your imagination is unlimited. You can create a new world, a world you can imagine.'
So how did we land on the moon in 1969 to 1972? By making rockets and spacecraft and by following the natural laws of physics.
Now most people today, in 2020, will say, Ahhh, you'll always have poor people, you'll always have people that land in prison. You'll always have people who make millions of dollars a year, and many people in some countries make $1 000 or less a year.
Ahhh! That is the mass opinion of most people in the world.
They say, in unison, You can't do it!
It is their hymn.
The law of gravity that allowed our space capsules to land on the Moon 6 times is a solid law. You violate that law, your rocket will never leave the earth's atmosphere. Ignore the laws of physics, you'll never catch the orbit around the Moon. Scientists knew those laws. They made sure our USA astronauts followed those laws. Then they landed on the moon.
We know we can land on the moon. We've done it 6 times! (Pat yourself on the back! Our government did it. We are the government.)
Now we have other tasks. Reduce the carbon emissions in our atmosphere. Get everyone on earth a good income, job or business that pays them Very Well.
The science of carbon emissions is easy. We have to reduce (somehow) the tons of carbon that goes into our atmosphere, so that our temperature on the surface of the earth is stable and does not rise too much. The 191 countries on earth have to figure out how to emit less or ZERO carbon into the atmosphere. It can be done, if we want to.
High wages? $60,000 or $100,000 a year, per person? How can that happen?
In 1919, the idea of a man or woman on the moon was unthinkable. We had nothing then that could escape the earth's atmosphere. Rockets did not exist. We only had airplanes that could not even cross an ocean.
Yet 50 years later, we did it!
So if we do what Dr. Yunus said, and Create a World based on what we IMAGINE, then we can have a world of ZERO Unemployment, ZERO Net Carbon Emissions and ZERO poverty. The 4th thing, which We can reach, is HIGH WAGES, lat's pick a number. $60,000 year! Everywhere? Yes, everywhere.
You can imagine it. We can imagine it.
Or you can be a part of the majority who believes, "No, can't do it."
Do you want to be a DO-ER?
Or part of the massive group that sings, "NOOOOO!"
Dr Yunus said, "Our imagination can be achieved in reality." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-67ePGq9jh8
Prof. Muhammad Yunus: Be "job creators" not "job seekers"
Dream big!
"If you imagine that world today, I can guarantee you, it will happen." That is so true! Thousands or millions of us across the world, imagining and creating new social businesses and ultra businesses and innovations---it will happen!
