Greetings good citizen, yesterday I provided the outline of how I would alter this trainwreck we call society, I'll continue with another proposal intended to keep the peace between our various personality types I call the Enclaves, 'clubs' if you will where the like minded can share the kind of life THEY enjoy, knowing they are surrounded by people who accept that motorcycles are LOUD and don't have a problem with it.
Surfers would chase the ultimate wave on a communal beach, back to nature types could enjoy 'primitivism' with fellow enthusiasts and vintage muscle car restorers could race their 'suicide machines' on desolate tracks away from the ears of those who crave peace & quiet.
The 'fly' in this ointment is 'thinking' you want to live the biker lifestyle and the reality of that lifestyle. It will be difficult to accommodate those who are attracted to adventure but once there decide it's 'not for them'.
For that purpose there will be 'guest accomodations' in each enclave so you can take the lifestyle for a test drive to see if it 'suits' you.
While I give a few examples, enclaves, in essence, can be established for anything people are 'passionate' about.
AND they get to make their own 'rules' regarding how they AGREE to live together. [All enclaves start with a blank slate...not completely blank, military/soldier of fortune enclaves will not be permitted ALTHOUGH Warrior enclaves and martial arts enclaves will!
Turning to the 'nerdier' side, there will also be 'fantasy enclaves' where the members 'roleplay' when they are away from their 'real world' jobs and responsibilities.
The 'idea' is to make life more 'enjoyable' [and to build communities that co-operate with one another through the appreciation of our differences.]
The limits of enclaves is HARM. NO Enclave will 'actively recruit' members, these are communities NOT CULTS! While the gathering together of religious people is permitted they MUST keep their beliefs to THEMSELVES. There's a world of difference between petitioning and proselytizing.
One gains you new followers, the other gets your cult exiled!
Expressly forbidden is any lifestyle based on its 'superiority' to any other. Intolerance [somewhat ironically] won't be tolerated. It's okay for YOU to believe that being vegan is superior to the alternatives but DON'T damn anyone else for their choice because no matter how well YOU take care of your body, the final destination remains unaltered.
Might as well have 'Born to Die' tattoo'd on our foreheads...maybe that will change when we have more than this solitary planet to choose from but despots are everywhere and they all think 'their way' is the ONLY way...[despots don't give a flying F what YOU think...about anything.]
Had a reader ask me how I'd change the world but I think they were asking the question on most of your minds...what's in this for him [meaning me.]
I get what EVERYBODY ELSE GETS, a 'sane world' to leave my children, where accident of birth has no bearing on their future security. They won't be homeless nor will they starve. They won't be condemned to do work they hate just to keep food in their stomachs and a roof over their heads.
They won't die young because they couldn't afford treatment for some common ailment their insurance refused to cover.
They would also be able to have a family and not worry about any of those things happening to their kids [or theirs]...and a little peace of mind can go a long way!
Just another piece of the puzzle for you to think about...and I'm sure most of you had exactly that on your youthful 'wouldn't it be cool' lists.
THere is NO reason why we can't do it except those who think we should be kept as miserable and humble as 'inhumanly possible'.
That's all for today Head, see you tomorrow!
