If you had the tools to build the best possible of all worlds, how would you use them right now?
Why does any of this matter? -

What is 'the best of all possible worlds?'
- In a world without humans there is no such thing as 'best of all possible worlds.'
- In a world without humans, there is no 'best' because there is no one to judge or to prefer one thing over another.
- In a world without humans, the world just is as it is.
- In a world with humans, each of us has our unique experience of the world.
- In a world with humans, each of us has our own unique feelings, abilities, resources.
- In the best of all possible worlds, each human would have the freedom, ability, and sentience to be as a god, creating their own ideal of a lived experience - assuming that there is such a thing.
Isn't the world the world already the best possible of all worlds?
- Is it for you? If not, let's get to work!
What is this thing?
- This is a set of tools that you can use to create a better world, here, now.
Who can use this?
- You can use these tools and apply whatever resources you have the ability and freedom to use.
Is this tool equal and inclusive?
- No, and not yet.
- People are not equal in their privilege.
- People who currently have more resources, more freedoms, and more abilities have more power with these tools than people who have less resources, freedoms, and abilities.
- These tools are not fully inclusive until they are accessible in all languages, provide a starting point for all skill levels, and are equally accessible to everyone.
- However, in the best of all possible worlds, in my view they should be fully inclusive.
Pricing?
- What does this cost?
- Use of these tools is not free, it requires you to spend continuous stretches of focused attention, psychological stress, and ongoing commitment for extended periods of time.
How can I use these tools?
- The good news is it takes only three minutes (3 min) to learn about the main tool.
- The other good news is that as you gain experience with the tools, you will be come more and more powerful in using them.
Other context building?
To create the best of all possible worlds, humans need to do things, together, that don't make the world worse.
Tools to improve understanding of why humans do things.
- According to the Fogg < https://www.behaviormodel.org/> model, humans do things when there is motivation, ability, and a prompt.
