This show is designed only to make you think and think deeply about many issues.  In my view our society doesn’t do enough thinking, many people have claim to think and say stuff like I think _____ should be or not be done.  This is not thinking though, this is stating an opinion, often one that the person hasn’t really thought very much about.

Thinking about an issue or a problem and how to solve it requires a total consideration of all sides, views and a review of all facts and theories about the concept.  We don’t do this very much today for superficial things like, “should the family get a new TV or not” so we damn sure don’t do it with things like, “how do we feed the planet”.

No instead, we have outsourced all of our big problems to government, then divided into two primary teams with a Jackass and a Fat Elephant as mascots, we root for our teams every 2-4 years and trust that jackass and a fatass can then do our thinking for us.

Hey, pause a moment and THINK about that!  America today has outsourced our decision making to two groups that use a jackass and a fat ass as their representation.  You know how they say dogs and owners start to look the same?  But I digress.

The one thing I think we can all agree on is if we were to do a “redo” of current society we would not design things exactly as they are.  So what if we could start from scratch?  What would we do the same, what would we do differently and what would we just not even touch?

  • Serious questions
    • Does money really make sense?
    • Should people have to work?
    • What is work anyway?
    • If people didn’t have to work, what would they do?
    • How much work is really useful and important?
    • How many jobs are currently protected from technology?
    • What do people really want in their lives?
    • Is there really anything approaching a resource shortage in the world?

    • Provide educational services
    • Design communities, villages and towns
    • Protect individual rights
