The new blueprint for humanity.
Humanity's downfall has always been caused by failure to address trauma on a personal and collective level. The result of such failure is a constant underlying fear. Whether they realize it or not, what people fear most is change. Yet change happens all the time, every day, and all around. The cycles of day and night, of seasons and weather, of renewal and growth go largely unnoticed by those clinging to familiarity as if it could save them from pain and distress. Worse, many seek saviors -- what amounts to surrogate parents -- to fix everything they perceive as wrong and keep them cocooned in an illusion of security. And because they cling to what they consider "normal," however unjust, harmful and even dangerous it might be, they never entertain even the possibility of something better, much less imagine what it could look like. But some have risen above the fear and avoidance to not only question the status quo but to consider changing it to better the lives of all on this planet. And their courage and vision has led to the creation of this New Blueprint For Humanity.
