Mission Future: Call for Participation

Today, on world food day 2008, six and a half years before 2015, the prospect for realization of the Millennium Development Goals looks dimmer then ever. After the recent market tumbles caused by fundamental flaws in the fabric of our existing capitalistic framework, a lot of people have lost money or even their roof overhead – yet more cannot even afford the minimum amount of food necessary to survive and have lost their confidence and faith in a better future. Social problems of all kinds are on the rise in every region of the world, unsustainable business practices are continuing to speed up climate change and consequently promoting the deterioration of ecosystems around the globe, endangering the very biodiversity that against all odds gave birth to our human race. And even at the beginning of the 21st century, war between human beings is no thing of the past.

The inevitable question arises: do we surrender to what some might think is an inescapable fate – or do we each accept our small share of responsibility and fully exercise our means to counteract these fatal trends? Mankind has reached a crossroads where a tough decision has to be made – for one of only two choices: painful demise or radical transformation. But the window of opportunity is closing slowly – the sooner we choose to attempt the categorical corrections to the ways of our global society, the bigger a chance of success we stand.

This is an invitation to everyone willing to escape from disastrous passivity and unite for a greater good: the engineering of a future that lives up to the essence of our human race: humaneness, creativity, rationality. We can change the world if we really want to – the impossible is only the untried. Welcome to the Human Future Optimization Project International.
