"...The Paradise Project"

Some culture veterans will remember "Paradise Now" as the name of a Brave Brilliant Life Changing play by the "Living Theater" back in the Sixties. That plea still echoes loudly in our society. The resistance to the madness of #45 in particular by Women is just the latest expression of that desire.

A world where all is shared kindness, and introspection is a given. In the west we've been trying to bring such a world about for some centuries now.

At least since the Peasant Revolts of the 14th/15th centuries.

That great experiment of the Enlightenment the founding of the United States of America is a contradictory hopeful yet inconsistent ongoing try. The further attempted revolutions of the 19th, and 20th centuries...sadly just made things worse.

We should remember the 17th century Diggers of Britain. Google them folks. These the Great Grand Parents of assorted Utopian Dreamers. Land reformers ecologists early Civil, and Sexual Rights movements. Bohemians of all sorts through the centuries. Those bunches of artists, and visionaries gleeful nutters with hearts of gold.

Them Diggers like the recent Beatniks Civil Rights folks Hippies, and the renewed movement for the Humanity of Women all wanted, and want the goods produced to be held in common...the land too. Basically, all should be happy, and free. "The Pursuit of Happiness". Perhaps the most revolutionary part of the American experiment. This was the first time it was written down and put into an official document. This as a serious proposal of a way of life.

Those 14th century Peasants trying to take their land back from the Lords would have recognized this at once.

No one should live in want. The whole messy lot of us will share, and help all around us, and basically have a good time.

"Have a Good Time" "...Pursuit of Happiness for all.

Not just those in an "ownership" tax bracket.

The Christians started out this way before they became a religion. Some seem to be trying to move back to that...hopeful.

Pessimists would say that "We can Dream it, but still can't Do it".

I think that Paradise is hard. Hard to dream, and Hard to make...not impossible, just Hard.

Making the Atomic bomb was hard too. However, with total dedication, and the use of vast resources they made the damned thing...and plenty of them. The maniacs have been refining it ever since.

Imagine...

Imagine if that sort of dedication vast resources, and some Pixie Dust were put towards the "Paradise Project".

Unlike the Manhattan Project nothing would be secret it would all be out in the open for all to see, and if they wanted to help with. The "Paradise Project". A plan for mass joy as opposed to mass death.

That's what we're doing. All of you so many. That's what thoughtful folks have been part of all these centuries.

That's what we have to keep at no matter what.

"The Pursuit of Happiness."
