If you've been wanting to truly make a change, then this project could help. Just give me a chance.
So let's keep this simple. I'll explain why you should read this, and then go over the ideas, which will include problems then actionable steps to solve them. Then at the end, there will be more things you can get involved with.
Quickly, here's an attempt at summarizing my thoughts:
Problem - People surrender control and ownership for the sake of comfort, but it costs them their control over their own lives. Everything from the tech we use to the food we eat, even our outlook on life itself.
What can we do?
We can improve ourselves everyday and simply do the right thing. It doesn't have to be hard, but it does have to be a conscious decision.
The problems we face in our lives can be ours to solve - and we can just accept them, then take appropriate action to make things better for ourselves and others.
Problem - The most fundamental and basic need for a human is Earth to exist on - and this is turned into a game of money and control through real estate and government restrictions.
What can we do?
Explore alternative ways of living, like:
Problem - The way humans interact has deep flaws within it, such as the languages we use. We're divided against each other, when our enemy isn't another person, it's the sickness that we've collectively built for the sake of convenience and profit. The enemy is mental illness. It's satan, if you're religious.
What can we do?
- Practice communication in an open and fully honest way without shame. Accepting that the other person could be confused or annoyed, but that you are trying your best.
Problem - Things are hard for all of us, and the world is on fire. But we can lead by example and do our best to be conscious of the world around us.
The other big part of this is having the right enemy.
Racism is a wonderful example of having the wrong enemies. Seeing a person who is different and foolishly taking your anger out on them. [Click for personal note][I have had the privilege of getting to know a friend at work who has suffered racism, as a native to Venezuela moving to The U.S. - It affects people deeply. I appreciate the conversation I had with him about what racism is. He summarized it as: A person looking at another person of a different race, and saying "Hey, you don't look like my reflection in the water. Why are you like that??" ].
What can we do?
- Turn away from infighting and hating other people - and focus on the real enemies. A number of factors have lead us to blaming other people for the problems of the world - but this is so wrong and awful. A government of incompetence and tyranny will make us take our anger out on each other. Mental illness, (or in a religious context; Satan) is the deepest root of the problems of our time.
- We have to do something rather than continuing to accept suffering. The change is ours to make. I urge you to accept responsibility for being the change.

These ideas are so valuable to me as they are my truest thoughts on how we can save the world. Communication is very hard sometimes, but this is what I've put my effort into. Thank you so much.
• Learn more about activism
This handbook wiki for activism could be a good starting point. Please make an effort - live your life and share it with others. You are the revolution.
There's a couple revolution projects i can really recommend - EndCE (I made this one - about child exploitation prevention) - and Peaceful Foundation (about fighting addictions and local projects for impact)
• Contribute your ideas
You do have control over ideas shared on this site. But let's keep it simple. Email me to request to put up your ideas, how, where, and why. Anything really.

If no one ends up contributing, then that's perfectly fine! At the very least, I can have my ideas on here to hopefully share with anyone who might care. I suppose I've done my part.
