It should be very obvious to everyone that humans work together to create
power greater that an individual can create. We organize societies that create
power for the benefit of the members of the society. In the times of our lives,
the amount of power that is created is so great most people are totally unaware
of its strength.
The power of the people is the power of society. To wield the power, we have
created many sub-systems within society. Throughout history the sub-systems
have ranged widely. We are all familiar with Kings and Queens. They are and
were the ones who wield the power of the people. In the USA the power of the
people is wielded by a very complex and complicated set of systems.
US systems include a republic government with democratic selection of people to
operate it as established in the Constitution. The myriad of sub-governments
are subservient to the constitutionally founded and adopted republic. It is the
Federal Government. It is very powerful. Some say it is the most powerful of all.
But the Federal Government is not the only system that wields the power of the
people in the USA or any other nation.
Clearly, the use of money in the societies of the world creates a power of the people that is wielded. The people who wield it are hierarchically arranged and there are many hierarchies involved. Governments are involved as are banks, corporations, private individuals and many others. We all know about money. It may be the second dominant topic among humans.
This site is my effort to put the power of the people more firmly and
completely into the hands of the people. It is not something I can do, but
together we can. It is the most urgent and most beneficial thing humans can
possibly do today.
The power of the people has been wielded uninterrupted for many thousands of
years. By now the power of the people has created the world we live in today
and will live in tomorrow, if we don’t get interrupted. The people who create
the power of the people are mostly ignorant of the complex and complicated
world. The immense power we are creating seems unrelated to us individually. We
see it being used and take issue or condone its use by those who wield it, but
few understand it. But we are creating it and giving it to those who use it.
They use it as they want to use it far more than the average person realizes.
World wars is an example of the power of the people being used by some. Only a
small percentage of the population have the ability to use the power of the
people. We think of them as the politicians and military personnel. There are
incomprehensible agencies within our Federal government that have immense power
that is directed by people in the government as politicians. There are so many
agencies within our many governments it is beyond comprehension by an
individual. They do all sorts of things with the power of the people. Some of
the things they do help the people, and some don’t. It is not all wars and
prisons. Huge improvements have been achieved.
Life expectancy of humans has suddenly gone from about 30 years to 80.
Conveniences have been made available and countless other benefits have come
from the use of the power of the people. No individual has done it all or even
one of the things that have benefited mankind or harmed. It is all a social
phenomenon.
No great scientist has done a great thing alone. Thinking is not even done
alone. We are not and never have been alone. We can find some privacy and we
can feel alone, but it is an illusion founded in proximity and romance. No
poet, musician, inventor or any other designated human has done anything all
alone. We are surrounded by people. We are never alone and most of what any of
us do is what is made possible by our numbers. This single fact is why this
site exists.
We are all people. We are all together and we all share the same planet. Today
we are facing some very dangerous and delicate issues that we created with the
power of the people. We are not all living fulfilled and safe lives. Most of us
toil endlessly for a survival level of existence. The ecology of the planet we
rely on for our home is facing man-made damage that is getting so server it may
become inhospitable to people and other living organisms. This can be changed.
The power of the people can change it.
We are living in the time when we can destroy ourselves and even the whole
world’s life sustaining conditions or we can use the power of the people to
create a Utopia for ourselves and all other life forms. This site is dedicated
to developing control of the power of the people to create Utopia.
