    Global happiness Product?

    Gross national happiness. Or gross global happiness?

    How Gross National Happiness Is Paving the Way for a New World

    While the world has spent decades relentlessly pursuing GDP—Gross Domestic Product—one small Himalayan kingdom chose a radically different path. Bhutan, nestled between India and China, introduced the groundbreaking concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) in the 1970s. Rather than measuring prosperity through economic output alone, Bhutan posed a deeper question: What if true wealth was defined by happiness, well-being, and harmony with nature and each other?

    At the time, this idea may have seemed quaint, even idealistic. Today, it feels nothing short of visionary.

    The Four Pillars of GNH

    Bhutan’s GNH framework is built upon four central pillars:

    1. Sustainable and equitable socio-economic development
    2. Environmental conservation
    3. Preservation and promotion of culture
    4. Good governance

    In essence, Bhutan isn’t striving to be the wealthiest country—it’s striving to be the happiest. While critics argue about the economic trade-offs, Bhutan has managed to preserve its pristine forests, maintain strong social cohesion, and foster a profound connection between its people and the environment.

    After all, does money really make us happy? Or does it mostly serve to increase stress and anxiety?

    A Glimpse into a New Paradigm

    In Waking Up, we envision a world where well-being, not monetary wealth, is the driving force. There’s no poverty, no hoarding, no scarcity mindset. It’s a world where humanity has asked—and answered—the same question Bhutan posed fifty years ago: What truly makes life worth living? And then, it has built systems to support that vision.

    Could Bhutan be the first step in that direction? A living prototype? Just like the Cities of Light envisioned in Waking Up, Bhutan offers a glimpse that another way is not only possible—it’s already unfolding.

    The Message for the World

    What if the world followed Bhutan’s example? What if nations measured success not in profits, but in joy? Not in military might, but in the strength of their communities? Not in endless growth, but in balance with the Earth?

    This shift may seem utopian. But every great transformation begins with a question that challenges the status quo.

    In Waking Up, the world has already made that shift. But here and now, Bhutan is showing us the first steps. The seeds have already been planted.

    A Call to Action

    The systems we’ve created—monetary, political, societal—are manmade. That means they can be changed. Bhutan reminds us that radical shifts are possible when we dare to think differently.

    If you’re curious about what a happier world might look like, or how technology and spiritual awakening could merge to bring us there, dive into Waking Up. The book doesn’t just tell a story—it offers an inspiration.

    And if this resonates with you, share it. Talk about it. Imagine with others what a happiness-driven world could look like.

    Because, as Bhutan has shown us, every revolution begins in the imagination.

  • A world that works for all

    A world that works for all

    Maybe you’re doing well. Maybe you enjoy life as it is—with all the conveniences money brings. The freedom to travel. The thrill of investing. The comfort of knowing your needs are met.

    So… why change?

    Perhaps there are many like you. People who see no real reason to question the system. No urgent need to rock the boat.

    But… what if we have to?

    What if humanity simply can’t go on like this? With ballooning global debt, relentless overconsumption tearing the planet apart, rising pollution, worsening crime, constant conflict, and deepening inequality—what if these aren’t just unfortunate side effects, but warning signs that the whole  the model itself is wrong?

    And what if the alternative isn’t a dystopian global dictatorship, but something far more beautiful?

    What if we can choose? What if the future isn’t something that happens to us—but something we can shape, together? If so, why not create a world that works for everyone? Where we can live in peace and abundance.

     A world where no one needs to fight over resources, land, or belief. A world where trust, compassion, respect and collaboration replace fear, scarcity, and control.

    In my book Waking Up, humanity has done just that.
    They’ve chosen a different path—
    And it changed everything.

    A Different Future Begins with Imagination

    Waking Up isn’t just a story. It’s a window into possibility.

    It shows a world without money and borders, and stewardship instead of ownership. A world where needs are met, creativity is celebrated, and technology serves both people, nature and planet—not profit. A world where wisdom and empathy guide us, not greed or fear.

    If you’ve ever felt something is deeply off with the way we live—but didn’t quite know what could replace it—this book is for you.

    If you’ve ever dreamed of a better world, or longed to live in one, Waking Up will speak directly to your heart.

    And if you haven’t dreamed it yet—this is your invitation to begin.

    Because once enough of us can truly see a better way…
    We’ll begin to build it—together.
    That’s how real change happens.

  • What is true freedom?

    What is true freedom?

    In today’s world, we are surrounded by a sea of laws, rules, and regulations. Some of these are meant to guide human behavior in ways that align with moral principles, such as “Thou shalt not kill” from the Ten Commandments. But the majority of the rules we follow are designed to regulate the monstrous system we live under: the monetary system. Still, we consider ourselves free. But are we really? Is this true freedom? 

    On the surface, the idea of freedom seems clear. We seemingly have the ability to make choices, pursue our desires, and live according to our personal preferences. However, when we examine the foundations of the systems that govern us—systems that are grounded in the fears of lack and scarcity—we begin to see that this so-called freedom is an illusion.

    It is fear that fuels the creation of rules, laws, and regulations. The ego, in its struggle for control and safety, creates systems that attempt to manage this fear. The monetary system—perhaps the most powerful of all these constructs—is built on the idea that there is never enough. The ego’s fear of scarcity drives us to hoard, protect, and compete. In this state of fear, we can never truly experience freedom because we are constantly bound by the invisible chains of need and competition.

    Freedom vs Liberty

    It is important to distinguish between true freedom and liberty. Liberty, as understood in modern society, refers to the freedom to act within the confines of established rules. It is the permission to do certain things, but always within the framework of what has been deemed acceptable by the powers that be. Liberty is essentially freedom within a system of control. And in today’s world the strongest element of control liens in money. We are all forced to use it if we want to eat, have clothing and a shelter.

    True Freedom

    True freedom, on the other hand, transcends any system of control. It is the ability to exist without any imposed boundaries—without rules, laws, or regulations that restrict the way we live. Except the laws of nature of course. True freedom is the absence of these artificial constraints, allowing us to act from our deepest essence, unbound by fear or the need for permission. In a world of true freedom, we would be free to express our most authentic selves without limitation or judgment.

    Spiritual Freedom

    According to many spiritual traditions, such as A Course in Miracles (ACIM), true freedom lies at the core of our being. We are, at our essence, pure divine awareness, at peace and free from the limitations the ego imposes. The world we see with our physical eyes, governed by the rules of society, is nothing more than an illusion created by the ego—an ego driven by fear. Fear of lack. Fear of the unknown. Fear of others who don’t look or think like us.

    A World Without Rules?

    No laws, no rules and no regulations? Is that possible? Or would there be chaos and anarchy?

    The idea of a world without laws, rules, or regulations can seem frightening at first. We are so conditioned to think that rules are necessary to maintain order and prevent chaos that the notion of a society without them may feel impossible. Would we descend into chaos and anarchy, where everyone acts purely out of egotistical self-interest, without regard for the well-being of others?

    I believe that a world without many man made rules is not only possible, but it is the world we are meant to create. The key to this lies in the shift from fear to trust. If we allow ourselves to fully embrace radical freedom, if we release the grip of the ego and its fears, we would naturally begin to act in ways that benefit the whole including ourselves. Without the constraints of the monetary system, without the constant need to protect our narrow interests, we would be free to create something beautiful—a world based on love, compassion, and shared purpose.

    Imagine a world where the need for laws and rules no longer exists because everyone lives in alignment with their higher self, where cooperation and understanding guide our interactions rather than competition and fear. It may seem far-fetched, but it is what I envision in my book, Waking Up – A journey towards a new dawn for humanity, where the protagonist wakes up in such a world—a world where fear no longer dictates our behavior, and the systems that once enslaved us no longer exist.

    What if we gave ourselves radical freedom? And what if, instead of recreating a monster like the monetary system, we created a completely new system based on complete freedom and trust? Instead of building a world based on fear, we chose to build a world based on love.

    Radical Freedom

    In the film K-Pax, the main character Prot, an alien from another world, asserts that all beings in the universe know right from wrong instinctively. In many ways, I believe this is true. If we were to act from our deepest essence—our divine awareness, which transcends the ego—we would naturally create a world that reflects love, cooperation, and harmony. There would be no need for the arbitrary laws, rules and regulations that govern our every move today. Instead, we would simply live in alignment with the natural flow of life, driven by a higher understanding of our interconnectedness with one another and the world.

    This is what I call radical freedom: the freedom to live without fear, to act from our true nature, and to create a society not based on scarcity and control, but on abundance and trust. Radical freedom is not about doing whatever our egos want without regard for others. It is about creating a world where every action is rooted in the understanding that we are all One. It is the freedom to trust, to love, and to be guided by a deeper wisdom that transcends the ego’s limitations.

    A New System Based on Love

    What would it look like if, instead of recreating the monster of the monetary system, we chose to build a completely new system? A system based not on fear and scarcity, but on complete freedom and trust. A system where every individual is valued, where wealth is not measured by money, but by the richness of our relationships, our creativity, and our contributions to the collective well-being.

    This is not a utopian fantasy—it is a possibility that exists in each and every one of us. If we choose to act from our true nature, the ego will lose its grip on our world, and the illusion of separation will dissolve. Instead of living in a world where we hoard resources, we would live in a world where we optimize the resources and share freely, knowing that in the abundance of the universe, there is more than enough for all.

    True freedom is not the absence of rules, but the presence of love. It is the ability to act in alignment with our higher self, knowing that in doing so, we contribute to the greater good of all. It is a world where we are free from the constraints of the ego, free from the illusion of scarcity, and free to create a world of peace, harmony, and joy.

    In this world, we no longer need rules to tell us what is right or wrong, because we instinctively know the answer. We act from a place of love and understanding, and in doing so, we create a world that reflects these values. A world without fear. A world of true freedom.

    What if we could build that world? What if, instead of following the rules imposed by an ego-driven system, we allowed ourselves to live in the radical freedom of love and trust? The possibilities are limitless. And perhaps, just perhaps, it is time for us to begin. My book Waking Up- A journey towards a new dawn for humanity was written to serve as an inspiration for humanity and an invitation to envision such a world…

  • I am naïve. I have no illusions

    I am naïve. I have no illusions

    How Being Naïve Can Be Our Greatest Strength

    In a world addicted to fear and weapons, maybe trust isn’t naïve — maybe it’s the most powerful and courageous choice we have left.

    We call it naïve to trust. Foolish to disarm. Unrealistic to believe in peace.
    But maybe it’s even more foolish to believe that more weapons will bring safety.

    The world is arming itself again. Military budgets are growing fast. Politicians speak of strength and deterrence, and we’re told that spending billions on new weapons is the only way to stay safe.

    Fear is dressed up as wisdom. Distrust is sold as maturity.

    But what if the truly mature choice is something else entirely?
    What if the greatest courage today is to trust?

    What are Illusions?

    When I say I have no illusions, I mean this:

    I no longer believe in the stories of separation —
    that we are enemies, that fear protects us,
    that power comes from control or domination.

    These are illusions:
    the idea that we must always defend ourselves,
    that people cannot be trusted,
    that war is inevitable.

    I see through them now.

    To trust may look naïve,
    but to keep believing in fear and think that more weapons can keep us safe — that’s the real illusion.

    Truth=Love

    Illusion=Fear

    So yes, I am naïve.
    And I have no illusions.

    The “What If” Trap

    Whenever peace is brought up, the fear chorus begins:

    But what if Russia escalates? What if there’s a new war? What if we’re not prepared?

    Well — what if I get robbed tomorrow? What if a bear attacks me on my evening walk? What if a meteorite crashes through my roof?

    Should I wear armor everywhere? Carry a weapon at all times? Should I never trust anyone, just in case?

    That kind of life is not a life — it’s a prison of fear.
    And when nations think this way, the result is a planet locked in perpetual distrust, paralyzed by fear.

    We’ve normalized this insanity and called it “realism.”
    But there’s nothing realistic about believing that more weapons will finally bring us peace.
    That’s not wisdom — it’s fear speaking.

    I Walk Unarmed

    Call me naïve, but I walk through life completely unarmed.
    Through cities and forests, day and night.
    No gun. No sword. Not even a knife.

    All I carry is respect — and trust.
    Toward everyone I might meet, human or animal.

    And you know what?
    It works.

    I haven’t been mugged.
    I haven’t been attacked.
    Because most beings respond to the energy you bring.
    And when you lead with peace, peace often meets you.

    Some might say, “You can’t compare global politics to personal experience.”
    But I think you can.

    Because behind the suits and borders and weapons,
    we’re all still human.
    And respect and trust are universal.
    They work — on every level.

    Even the Cold War Ended with Trust

    We’ve been here before.

    The Cold War was a decades-long standoff fueled by fear, suspicion, distrust, and enough nuclear warheads to obliterate life on Earth several times.

    But how did it end?

    Not with war.
    Not with victory.
    It ended with Trust.

    When Reagan and Gorbachev sat down in Reykjavík and Geneva, something remarkable happened: they started listening.
    They didn’t agree on everything — far from it — but they broke the silence. They began to reduce arsenals. To sign treaties. To take steps.

    It wasn’t perfect. But it was enough. And so far, no one has launched a ballistic nuclear missile towards another country.

    The Berlin Wall didn’t fall because someone fired a missile.
    It fell because people on both sides stopped believing that war was the only way forward.

    Even that Cold War — one of the most dangerous stand-offs in history — ended when someone dared to trust.

    Peace Needs the “Naïve”

    To choose peace, you have to risk being called naïve.
    You have to be willing to believe in the good in people — not because they always show it, but because believing in it is the only way to help it grow.

    Real peace doesn’t come from preparing for war.
    It comes from preparing for peace.

    It comes from dialogue. From cooperation. From building systems that support life — not threaten it.

    Yes, it’s risky. But so is love. So is raising a child. So is walking out the door in the morning.

    Life is risk. But it’s also possibility.

    Every Great Leap Looked Naïve

    History is full of people who were mocked, dismissed, even imprisoned for being “unrealistic.”

    • Gandhi faced down an empire without violence. Naïve.
    • Nelson Mandela invited his former jailers to sit at the table of reconciliation. Naïve.
    • Visionaries who spoke of equality, human rights, or planetary peace were always told to “be realistic.” Naïve.

    And yet, they changed the world.
    Not by accepting fear as a guide, but by daring to dream beyond it.

    Maybe they weren’t naïve.
    Maybe they were simply free. Free from illusions.

    What If the Whole World Trusted?

    What if the whole world trusted each other?

    What if we built a global society — not on fear, control, or competition —
    but on something utterly naïve: trust?

    Trusting that our brothers and sisters take only what they need,
    and leave enough for the rest of us.
    And that we do the same.

    A world like that may sound impossible.
    But I’ve imagined it — and written it.

    In Waking Up – A journey towards a new dawn for humanity, I describe a future where humanity has moved beyond money, beyond fear, beyond the illusion of separation.
    A world that works — not because people are perfect,
    but because they’ve remembered who they are.

    Naïve?
    Maybe.
    But I have no illusions.

  • The Greatest Paradox of Our Time

    The Greatest Paradox of Our Time

    We all know it. We all live inside it. But almost no one dares to speak it out loud.

    Consumerism is killing our planet.


    Every year we consume more, extract more, burn more, dump more, and waste more.
    Forests fall, oceans choke, temperatures rise and our spirit shrink as we are reduced from human beings to consumers — and still we consume, consume, consume and consume.

    We know it can’t go on. We know it’s unsustainable.
    And yet…

    To stop consuming is to threaten collapse.

    Because our entire economic system is built on endless consumption.
    Jobs depend on it.
    Pensions depend on it.
    Government budgets depend on it.
    Even “green growth” depends on it.

    It’s a trap.
    A loop.
    A paradox.

    To keep consuming is to destroy our planet and ourselves.
    To stop consuming is to destroy the system.

    This is the greatest paradox of our time.


    And it explains why, despite all the climate conferences, all the UN targets, all the inspiring nonprofits and planetary visions — nothing truly changes.

    The machine keeps running.

    🔥 The Extreme Paradox We Live In

    We are trapped in a system where the only way to keep society running… is to destroy the very foundation it stands on: Planet Earth.

    To keep people employed, companies profitable, governments funded, and pensions paid — we must keep buying things we don’t need, with money we often don’t have, at the cost of a planet we can’t replace.

    It’s not enough to have a TV — we need to want a bigger one next year.
    It’s not enough to have a car — we need to upgrade it every few years.
    Phones, fashion, furniture, kitchen appliances — the system doesn’t just want us to consume.
    It requires us to consume.

    Because if we stop spending, even for a little while, the machine begins to crack:

    • Shops close.
    • Jobs vanish.
    • Stocks fall.
    • Panic spreads.
    • Governments intervene — to make sure we start buying and consuming again.

    It’s estimated that just a 10% sustained drop in global consumption could send the world economy into freefall. That’s how fragile the system is. That’s how dependent we are.

    And yet — continuing on this path guarantees collapse.
    Not just economic collapse.
    But ecological, spiritual, and civilizational collapse.

    We are trapped between two forms of destruction — and the clock is ticking.

    We throw away a plastic wrapper after five minutes — but it stays on the Earth for 500 years.
    This is not just waste. It’s madness disguised as normality.
    And we call it progress.

    🛠️ “But What About the Workers?”

    It’s a fair question.

    Because it’s not just Apple or Amazon that need you to buy new gadgets — it’s the millions of people down the supply chain who depend on that consumption to survive.

    • The cobalt miner in Congo.
    • The factory assembler in China.
    • The truck driver, warehouse packer, and store clerk.
    • The app developer, marketing intern, and customer service rep.

    We are told we’re “supporting jobs.”
    And we are.
    Because we’re locked in a global machine where livelihoods depend on destruction.

    But it’s not just the worker who’s trapped.

    ⚙️ Not Even the Corporations Are Free

    Corporations aren’t inherently evil.
    They’re designed to do one thing: grow.

    • Maximize profit.
    • Outcompete rivals.
    • Please shareholders.

    If a CEO said,

    “Let’s prioritize planetary healing over quarterly growth,”
    they’d be replaced by Monday.

    Even the most ethical companies are stuck.

    If they reduce consumption, they die.
    If they keep pushing consumption, we all die — because the planet dies.

    It’s not a moral failure.
    It’s a failure of choice. Choice of the wrong system.

    🌍 The Planetary Awakening

    And yet, something is shifting.

    Movements like COPLAN, The Venus Project, Ubuntu Contributionism, Zeitgeist, and gift economies are rising.
    They may speak different languages, but they share the same truth:

    The system must evolve. Or rather, be replaced.
    Or we won’t survive.

    This paradox can’t be solved by better shopping.
    Or green labels.
    Or more efficient waste sorting.

    It can only be solved by transformation.

    By designing a new system where:

    • Needs are met without trade and overconsumption.
    • Nature is not a resource, but a relative.
    • Work is expression, not survival.
    • Giving is the foundation, not the exception.

    That world is not a fantasy.
    It’s a choice.

    Yes, we have to consume to live — we need food, water, shelter, connection, joy.
    But we do not need to consume in order to prove our worth, maintain the GDP, or keep an insane system alive.

    We no longer live in order to consume.
    We consume in order to live — simply, sustainably, and sanely.

    In my novel Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity, this transformation is not theory — it is lived reality.
    A society has emerged that hasn’t reformed the monetary system, but transcended it.

    Experience this new world through the confused and surprised eyes of Benjamin Michaels, the former multi-billionaire that tries to escape cancer through cryogenic preservation. He dreamt of awakening in a world where he could be healed and continue the expansion of his trillion dollar empire. Awaken he does, and healed he is, but the world? It’s not what he expected…

    The whole system he depended on for his empire is gone.

    There is no trade.
    No price tags.
    No ownership.

    No money.
    Only joyful giving and receiving and a global relative abundance.

    🌱 The Resolution of the Paradox has happened.

    💡 A Call to Courage

    We don’t have to solve everything today.
    But we do have to name the paradox.
    We do have to break the silence.
    We do have to imagine something truly new.

    Because behind the fear of collapse…
    is the opportunity for emergence.

    If you’re ready to explore that world, Waking Up is one possible inspiration.
    Not as fiction. But as a seed.

    🟣 And maybe that seed has already been planted in you. If this vision resonates with you, feel free to order the book and spread the vision.

  • Reclaiming Time: Why the Future Needs a 13-Month Calendar

    Reclaiming Time: Why the Future Needs a 13-Month Calendar

    How ancient wisdom, lunar cycles, and a new measure of civilization point to a better way to live

    Today is Friday the 13th — a day many associate with bad luck. But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, the number 13 once stood for luck, fertility, and cosmic harmony. What if the fear surrounding it has more to do with forgotten history than actual misfortune?

    And what if time itself — the way we count it, live it, and structure our lives around it — has been shaped not by nature, but by systems of control?

    We live by a calendar that’s out of sync with the rhythms of the Earth and the moon. But that wasn’t always true. Long before the Gregorian calendar restructured time into 12 uneven months, ancient civilizations aligned time with the moon — and with the cycles of life.

    What would it mean to reclaim that natural rhythm? What if we could not only reimagine the future — but also reimagine time itself?

    ⏳ The Forgotten Harmony of 13

    The number 13 was sacred. It used to stand for luck, wholeness, and alignment with the cosmos. A lunar year contains 13 full moon cycles — each about 28 days — and many early civilizations organized time accordingly.

    This natural calendar was used by the Maya, Native Americans, Druids, and others — not just for measuring time, but for living in tune with fertility, harvests, spiritual rituals, and the divine feminine.

    13 was not feared — it was revered.

    🏛️ How Time Was Colonized

    With the rise of empires and organized religion, a shift occurred.

    • The Roman Empire — and later the Christian Church — replaced the lunar 13-month calendar with the 12-month solar one.
    • The new system made taxation, administration, and imperial rituals easier to manage.
    • Meanwhile, the sacred number 13, closely tied to goddess traditions and lunar rhythms, was systematically demonized.
    • Over time, Friday the 13th — once a holy day associated with the planet Venus — became a symbol of fear and superstition.

    This wasn’t accidental. The restructuring of time itself became a tool of control — over nature, over people, and over belief systems. Time was no longer a natural rhythm. It was a machine.

    🌍 A New Dawn: The Year of Civilization

    In my novel Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity, the world reaches a tipping point: the first year in human history when no person kills another. That moment marks the beginning of a new calendar: Year 1 YC — the Year of Civilization.

    A new era begins — one based not on domination, but on peace, cooperation, and alignment with life.

    In such a world, the artificial structures of the past — including the 12-month calendar — would naturally dissolve. Instead, a return to a 13-month lunar rhythm would reflect the new consciousness: one that values balance, natural order, and spiritual connection.

    🌕 Why 13 Months Just Makes Sense

    Imagine a world where time follows the moon — not the market.

    • 13 months of 28 days = 364 days
    • One “day out of time” remains — a sacred, unscheduled pause at the end of the year, celebrated as a moment of rest, reflection, and renewal

    This calendar brings with it:

    • Predictability: Each month identical in structure.
    • Harmony: Aligned with natural cycles — lunar, menstrual, agricultural.
    • Reverence: Honoring time as something sacred, not something to exploit.

    In the Mayan tradition, the “day out of time” was a moment of forgiveness, art, and healing — a portal between what was and what can be.

    💫 Reclaiming 13 — and Reclaiming Ourselves

    My own mother always believed 13 was her lucky number. She even flipped old superstitions: if a black cat crossed her path or she passed under a ladder, she took it as a sign of good fortune. She didn’t need history books to tell her what was sacred — she simply felt it.

    And maybe now it’s time we all remember what she somehow already knew:
    13 was never the problem. Forgetting its meaning was.

    The number 13 was removed from calendars, buildings, and beliefs — not because it was unlucky, but because it symbolized something powerful, something ancient, something natural. It represented a time before control. Before conquest. Before commerce dictated the rhythm of our lives.

    Religion and the emerging monetary system found advantage in rewriting time — in severing our connection to the moon, to the feminine, and to a more intuitive way of being.

    But in the new world imagined in Waking Up, we reclaim it all. We reclaim peace. We reclaim nature. And yes — we reclaim the original meaning of the number 13.

    Not a curse.
    Not a superstition.
    But a sign of luck, wholeness, and the rhythm we were always meant to live by.

    So maybe Friday the 13th isn’t so unlucky after all.

  • Are we making ourselves Obsolete?

    Are we making ourselves Obsolete?

    In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics, a pressing question looms: Will humans still have a place, or are we making ourselves obsolete?

    The machines are rising, and they’re not coming for our lives—they’re coming for our jobs. From warehouse logistics and transportation to law, medicine, and education, automation is no longer just a futuristic concept. It’s here, now, and accelerating.

    Machines don’t sleep. They don’t demand wages, pensions, or healthcare. They don’t complain. And they can work with staggering efficiency 24/7. It’s no surprise that industries are eagerly replacing human labor with algorithms and robots that deliver more for less.

    But this massive shift brings with it a paradox: as machines become more productive, humans become less essential—at least in the traditional economic sense.

    No more work no more people

    We’ve long defined our place in the world through our work. Jobs have given us structure, purpose, and identity. But what happens when the need for human labor disappears?

    If AI can diagnose diseases better than doctors, write reports faster than journalists, create art more prolifically than painters, and now even power robots that build houses, clean streets, and perform physical labor once thought to be exclusively human—what is left for us to do? Are we headed toward a future where humans are reduced to passive spectators of their own civilization?

    It’s a question that’s as psychological and spiritual as it is economic. Because beneath the fear of unemployment lies a deeper fear: that we no longer matter.

    The Economic Trap

    Our economic systems are built on a very old assumption: people work, earn money, and spend that money to keep the system going. But in a world where robots do the work, what happens to those who are no longer needed?

    If people aren’t earning, they aren’t spending. And if they aren’t spending, businesses collapse—regardless of how efficiently robots can produce. This is the fundamental paradox of automation: abundance created without anyone affording to consume it.

    So even as technology races ahead, we find ourselves stuck. We’ve created tools to free ourselves from labor, yet we remain bound to an economic system that punishes idleness—even when it’s the machines doing all the work.

    The Illusion of Easy Solutions

    Universal Basic Income (UBI) is often proposed as the solution. Everyone gets a set amount of money regardless of employment status. It sounds fair—and maybe even inevitable. But will it work?

    UBI might offer short-term relief, but it doesn’t address the root issues:

    • It keeps us locked in a consumption-based economy.
    • It risks turning people into permanent spectators, surviving but not thriving.
    • It assumes that purpose can be replaced with payments.

    In other words, UBI might temporarily stop the bleeding, but it doesn’t heal the wound.

    What Will Humans Do?

    If machines handle the boring, repetitive, dangerous, and essential—what’s left for us?

    The answer could be everything else.

    • Creating art, music, and stories.
    • Exploring the universe.
    • Healing the planet.
    • Deepening relationships, community, and consciousness.

    But none of this will emerge naturally from the current system. It demands a new model of value, one that sees human life not as a tool of production, but as an expression of potential.

    A New Operating System for Humanity

    What we need isn’t just a better patch on capitalism—it’s a different operating system. One that doesn’t collapse when machines do the work. One that measures wealth not in dollars, but in well-being, creativity, ecological balance, and collective thriving.

    This is where visions like the Natural Exchange System and resource-based economies come in—not as utopias, but as real alternatives in reframing what matters.

    This is also the world imagined in Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity. In it, a former billionaire confronts a civilization where money is obsolete, and value flows from connection, contribution, and care. It’s a world where humans are not obsolete—but reborn.

    Conclusion: Obsolete or Awakened?

    We stand at a threshold. One path leads to obsolescence—not because machines destroy us, but because we failed to adapt. The other leads to awakening—where we redefine our purpose not by what we produce, but by how we live.

    The machines and technology will keep evolving. The real question is: will we?

    If this vision resonates with you, take the next step into that future—read Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity. Follow Benjamin Michaels on his transformative journey from a world of profit and productivity to one of purpose, peace, and planetary stewardship.

  • Elon Musk: The America Party — a new dawn for humanity..?

    Elon Musk: The America Party — a new dawn for humanity..?

    When Elon Musk recently announced the possible launch of The America Party, reactions ranged from excitement to skepticism. Memes exploded across social media, pundits rushed to speculate, and ordinary people asked: Is he serious? But beyond the noise lies a deeper current — a growing hunger, not just for new political choices, but for a new direction altogether.

    Elon Musk: The Reasoning Mind in a Polarized World

    Musk is not your typical political figure. He’s a systems thinker, a problem-solver, and a visionary whose track record includes rethinking everything from transport and energy to space travel and AI. For most of his public life, he’s avoided the political spotlight, preferring to build and innovate rather than legislate. Even his occasional political comments — including brief alliances or endorsements — seemed less like ideological stances and more like calculated responses to a flawed menu of options.

    With The America Party, he appears to be stepping onto the stage with intent: not to support the status quo, but to disrupt it.

    From Polarization to Possibility

    The idea behind Musk’s new party is clear: the majority of people — the so-called 80% in the middle — feel alienated by the extremes of current politics. They want solutions, not slogans. They want progress, not partisanship. In that sense, The America Party may tap into something very real.

    But the real question isn’t whether we need another party. It’s whether we need a new kind of consciousness.

    Waking Up: Not Left, Not Right — But Human

    In Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity, I explore a future that goes beyond politics. It’s not about left or right or the middle. It’s not even about parties. It’s about people — realizing their own power, their shared humanity, and their relationship with the Earth and each other.

    It’s not a blueprint. It’s an invitation to be inspired. A story that imagines a cooperative, post-monetary world where humans don’t own the planet — they steward it. A world that doesn’t run on fear and competition, but on trust, creativity, and care.

    It’s a future that can’t be engineered solely through innovation or ideology. It begins with an inner shift — a change in values, perception, and purpose.

    Beyond the 80% — A Vision for the 100%

    While Musk’s new movement speaks to “the middle,” the transformation we need must speak to everyone — not just all humans, but animals, insects, forests, oceans, and ecosystems.

    Politics today is not only confined by artificial borders and interest groups — it’s tied to the monetary system itself. Decisions are driven by cost-benefit calculations, not by what truly nurtures life.

    But the planet doesn’t operate by party lines or profit margins. And any real shift must go deeper than policy — it must involve a broader, more thoughtful way of living and relating to one another and the world.

    Waking Up invites us to imagine exactly that: a society rooted in care, cooperation, and shared responsibility — beyond money, beyond division, beyond control.

    The Real Frontier Isn’t Mars — It’s Earth

    Elon Musk often speaks of colonizing Mars — building a future beyond Earth. But maybe, just maybe, the greatest leap forward is not escaping Earth, but fully arriving here.

    This isn’t a utopian fantasy. It’s the most grounded, necessary conversation we can have. Because if we don’t change course — if we don’t learn to live differently — we risk losing the very ground we stand on. Not to speak of if we venture off the planet. Going out there with the same greedy mindset we’ve had here? Wow, now that will be a party…

    So perhaps The America Party is a sign? A step. A bridge. But if we cross it, let’s not stop at better policies. Let’s aim for a better world.

    One that works — not just for America, but for all life on Earth.

    Let’s create  it together.

  • What Is Human Nature?

    What Is Human Nature?

    It’s one of the oldest questions we’ve asked ourselves:

    Are we born selfish or kind?
    Violent or peaceful?
    Greedy — or good?

    Philosophers, scientists, and storytellers have all offered answers.
    But maybe the truth is simpler — and more profound.

    Human nature isn’t one thing.
    It’s a spectrum. A paradox. A potential.

    We are capable of both cruelty and compassion. Of destruction — and deep care.

    Which side we express depends less on our biology… and more on our awareness, environment, and choices.

    ⚖️ We Are Not Born Evil — or Perfect

    From birth, we are equipped with instincts, emotions, and drives. We can protect or attack. Hoard or share. But how we use those tools depends on what we learn.

    A child raised in love and safety will likely grow generous.
    A child raised in fear and mistrust may grow aggressive.

    Our nature is flexible.

    If nothing else, human nature is adaptable.

    This is self-evident. Just look at how we’ve survived — and even thrived — in every environment on Earth. From icy tundras to concrete megacities, we’ve found ways to live, create, and evolve.

    But adaptability has a shadow side.

    Over time, we’ve adapted too well to our systems built on fear, ego, and separation.
    We’ve normalized inequality, competition, and destruction — because those were the rules of the game.

    And now, maybe for the first time, we’re seeing the cost of feeding that part of our nature for too long.

    We’ve adapted to a world that is now threatening to collapse — not because of some fatal flaw in human nature… but because we’ve been feeding the wrong wolf.

    🐺 The Wolf We Feed

    You may have heard the Cherokee story:

    “Inside every person, there are two wolves.
    One is fear, greed, anger, and ego.
    The other is love, peace, compassion, and unity.
    Which one wins?
    The one you feed.”

    And for much of history — especially the last few centuries — we’ve been feeding the wrong wolf.

    We’ve built systems that reward fear, dominance, and accumulation.
    We’ve glorified competition, glorified war, glorified control.

    Not because we’re evil — but because we’ve been afraid.

    Afraid there won’t be enough.
    Afraid of difference.
    Afraid of not being enough.

    And fear feeds the ego which again feed fear in a negative spiral.
    The ego builds systems in its image, and this is the world we see today. A world of fear, war and conflict.

    💪 The Science Says: We’re Wired for Goodness

    In spite of our fearful ego-created world, modern research across psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology paints a hopeful picture:

    Even babies show empathy and fairness.


    Infants prefer helpful characters in fiction. Toddlers offer help without being asked.

    Our brains reward generosity.
    Giving to others lights up pleasure centers in the brain — the same as food or music.

    Cooperation helped us survive.


    Early human groups that shared and cared outlived those that didn’t.

    Peaceful societies have always existed.


    From the !Kung of the Kalahari to various indigenous communities, mutual aid and sharing were often the norm.

    Even today, society runs on trust.


    Every moment we’re in traffic, in line, in conversation — we’re cooperating. When we walk down the street without a gun in our pocket we trust our fellow humans not to attack us. And not only in everyday life — even in commerce, we depend on trust. When a contract is signed, we trust that the other party will uphold it.

    So why does the world so often look like the opposite?

    🎮 Hollywood and the Ego-Wolf

    One place this is most visible is Hollywood.

    Blockbusters have long been built on stories of violence, vengeance, domination, and apocalypse.
    Heroes as lone saviors. Enemies as pure evil. Love as a subplot — or a tragedy.

    Why? Because fear sells. Drama sells. Ego sells.

    But this isn’t the full picture of human nature.
    It’s just the version that turned the biggest profit.

    Lately, even that is shifting.

    More films are exploring themes of connection, healing, and inner awakening — Avatar, Interstellar, Arrival, Barbie, and more.
    Hopeful visions are starting to reach the mainstream.

    Maybe this reflects something deeper.

    🌍 A Turning Point?

    All around the world, people are questioning the story we’ve been told about ourselves.

    They’re realizing we are not doomed by our nature — we are shaped by our systems.
    And if we change the systems, we can change the outcome.

    If we stop feeding fear, and start feeding trust.

    If we stop glorifying the ego, and start honoring our shared humanity.

    Maybe human nature has always included love.
    We’ve just been afraid to trust it.

    But now — we have a choice.

    What if our next great adaptation isn’t physical or technological — but spiritual?
    What if the most powerful thing we can do now… is remember who we really are?

    Want to explore a future where our better nature leads the way?


    Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity is a bold vision of a world beyond fear and scarcity — One where we have started to feed the wolf of light and love. Order the book HERE.

  • The Gift of Invention: How Un-patented Ideas Shaped Humanity

    The Gift of Invention: How Un-patented Ideas Shaped Humanity

    Just like the volunteers cleaning beaches in the Galápagos, many of the greatest innovations in human history came without a price tag. No patent. No profit. Just the desire to help.

    From the wheel to the World Wide Web, countless breakthroughs were offered freely to humanity — not because someone was chasing wealth, but because they were inspired by something deeper: curiosity, compassion, or simply the joy of creation.

    Freely Given, Freely Used

    Here are just a few of the most influential inventions in history that were never patented:

    1. The World Wide Web

    Tim Berners-Lee, the man behind the World Wide Web, could have become one of the richest individuals on the planet. But instead of patenting his invention, he gave it to the world — open and free. Thanks to that act of generosity, we now have instant access to global knowledge, communication, and connection. Imagine if every website needed to pay a license fee just to exist.

    2. Penicillin

    When Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, he didn’t patent it. He believed it would be unethical to profit from something that could save so many lives. Today, it’s estimated that antibiotics have saved hundreds of millions of lives since their discovery — a ripple effect of one man’s integrity and compassion.

    3. The Kalashnikov Rifle (AK-47)

    While controversial, it’s worth noting that Mikhail Kalashnikov never patented his design. His motivation, as he often claimed, was not profit, but to defend his country. Though the consequences have been tragic and complex, the story adds to the larger picture: not all inventors seek wealth — some are driven by duty, ideology, or principle.

    4. Open Source Software

    From Linux to Firefox to countless other tools and frameworks, our digital infrastructure today runs on open-source software — systems that were never patented, but shared. These projects thrive on community, collaboration, and a belief in transparency. Much like in nature, where one tree’s shade benefits all, these tools are nurtured by a culture of abundance.

    Nature Holds No Patents

    In fact, we might say the greatest “inventions” of all aren’t human-made at all.
    Oxygen. Photosynthesis. The way coral builds reefs. The mycelial networks beneath the forest floor.

    Life on Earth operates in balance, in beauty, in generosity — without ownership or contracts.
    No one sends a bill for the sunlight.

    And maybe that’s our clue.

    Invention Beyond Profit

    In my book Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity, we imagine a world where innovation flows freely — not as a tool for profit, but as a gift to the whole. Where knowledge is shared. Where ideas are born from joy, from curiosity, from love, just like the ideas mentioned in this article was born and shared.

    The Natural Exchange System (NES) described in the book doesn’t require patents or property rights. It operates on a different principle: that people contribute because they care. Because it feels good to give something meaningful to the world.

    This isn’t utopia. This is already happening.

    We already see open-source coders, volunteer inventors, makerspaces, and communities coming together to build tools, solutions, and art — not for money, but for meaning.

    The Greatest Invention of All

    Maybe this world I describe in Waking Up — a world without money, where we share freely — isn’t as far-fetched as it seems.

    After all, we already freely share our time through volunteering.
    We already freely share our ideas through open-source projects, collaborative science, and unpatented breakthroughs.

    Maybe we’ve been building the foundations of this new world all along.
    Quietly. Organically. Without fanfare.

    The moneyless sharing world of Waking Up might sound radical — but when you look closely, its seeds are already here. The spirit is alive. The proof is all around us.

    What if the most important invention isn’t a device or discovery — but a mindset?
    A way of living?

    What if the most powerful innovation we could make… is to invent a new society?
    One where ideas are shared, not sold.
    Where intelligence is liberated.
    Where no child’s future is limited by licensing fees or paywalls.

    We’ve already seen glimpses.
    We already have it in us.

    The rest is just a matter of choosing the world we want to invent next.
