DEAL: Story 02

DEAL & TAP Collaboration Opportunity

Exploring how DEAL can GREATLY benefit from TAP & TAPable.

What was your aim or ambition?

  1. To improve our world, especially for next generations.

  2. To help DEAL grow awareness and understanding of Doughnut Economics.

  3. To make EVERYONE aware of TAP & TAPable possibility.

  4. To give EVERYONE a new found sense & feeling of hope.

What did you do?

  • I went on a journey into the non-physical realm of our universe - with only my mind.

  • I left behind our present world model (paradigm).

  • I was searching for alternative possibility - for our real world - given its present reality and understanding.

  • Three (3) decades of work to generate tangible improvement solutions - tools, NOT words.

  • I discovered many GREAT world-improvement alternatives.

Why did you use your chosen tool or approach?

  • Everything evolves.

  • In today's world - most things evolve toward the negative.

    • Because of selfishness, greed and self-righteousness.

  • Humans become what the model encourages and incentivizes them to become.

  • What if the tools of a new model limited our negative tendencies?

What is it about this approach that worked well in this context?

  • Start by simplifying everything possible.

    • Complexity exists to hide the ugly truth.

  • It was discovered that a model built up from a foundation of goodness and simplicity - naturally generates more goodness.

    • This TAP calls 'alignment positivity'.

How did you build interest and engagement?

  • This has always been my struggle - I've tried dozens of themes.

  • Several years ago now - I focused on a theme that had minimal politicization.

  • What if humanity was faced with real aliens?

    • Might we then come together as a single humanity?

What might you do differently?

  • For years I focused on establishing the entire alternative civilization model.

    • This scared away many - because I didn't exclude any provocative realities.

  • In the past year plus - we transitioned away for TAP.

    • Now the focus is just TAPable.

  • Fix the core problem - before attempting to fix anything else.

What have you learned along the way that might inspire others?

  • So many GREAT things:

    • Improved infocomm

    • Improved AI

    • Improved democracy

    • Improved economics

    • Improved education

    • Improved participation

    • Improved equity and equality

    • Improved happiness

    • Improved collaboration

  • And that it's 100% possible to:

    • Establish balance between humanity & our biosphere

    • Establish indefinite long-term sustainability

    • Utilize an unlimited fuel source for a new economy: creativity

    • Create happier global citizenry

    • Reestablish the promise of handing to each next generation - a continuously improving world

TAP invites 'you', especially DEAL leadership, to explore more deeply the details of TAPable & TAP. We are sure 'you' will agree that we both seek the exact same primary objectives.
