All Humans Have Biases and Blind Spots that Are Magnified by
Fear. Our collective vision of a fairer, more equitable, and
sustainable planet needs to occur in stages because the most
powerful special interest groups will fight back with overwhelming
force if the resistance tries to abolish the status quo overnight. If
humans living today fear that their wealth will be confiscated or
destroyed while they are still alive, they will fight much harder. In
contrast, if the reforms occur over a relatively longer period, based
on clearly defined stages, measurable milestones, and nonpartisan
principles, they will feel relatively less threatened and they will be
more likely to see beyond their own self-interest. Thats why this
staged approach is the only viable approach to achieve truly
sustainable reform on a planetary scale without triggering World
War III and multiple genocidal conflicts.
