The History of Tomorrow starts on the decem date. The decem date takes place on the triple-ten, a Sunday, the referenda date that will populate the developed world with the ballots of those that said why not instead of why. The History of Tomorrow triggers the Glorious Forty, able to push the globe forward towards the world of 2050, a world of cornucopia and eutopia, the world of Decemland, the land of ten percent.
I call all dreamers to start thinking of the world they dreamt with. I call all dreamers to imagine the design of their utopia. We are one year away and brainstorming must start. I call the expert dreamers of our time. I call the wise men and women of our time. I call the disciples of Marshall and Truman. It is your time, a time when we must dare, therefore we exist.
I call all those who decided to never give up, who thought a better world was around the corner. There will be a window of opportunity that we cannot forsake. There will be a window of opportunity that we cannot afford missing. Those that do not get on the train of optimism will leave in the prison of thought for the rest of their lives.
I call the orthodox thinkers and academics to convert, to become believers in a new paradigm, to leave their user´s manual behind and embrace new horizons that lie ahead of us for which there are no quantitative models that predict future outcomes.
I call the right and the left, the progressive and the conservative. Let´s get on the same page. Let´s prioritize the interests of the developing world. Let´s build towards a world of cornucopia and eutopia. Let´s love and dream.
I call the pirates of heartless capitalism to get ready to fight the battle of their lifetime. I call the pirates of heartless capitalism to fight against the best team of expert dreamers that has ever served the global public interest. I found them hidden in the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. I found them in Africa, Latin America and Asia, in Europe and North America. I identified them in my numerous trips. Let´s fight the battle of our lifetime. Let´s defeat once and for all the pirates of heartless capitalism. I found the heart that capitalism needs. We are in a transition from a heartless to a loving capitalism.
I call all human beings to believe that a paradigm shift is around the corner. I call all human beings to get ready for the journey of our lifetime. We shall write page one of the History of Tomorrow. A better world lies ahead of us if we are determined to improve and move ahead, leaving the fears of the baby boomers and the two World Wars behind.
Bretton Woods does not represent our generation. Our problems are those of the extreme poor. There are solutions to the great evils of our time that our current elites forgot or abandoned, that our current elites thought belonged in the imagination of our children, that our current elites decided to leave for Hollywood movies or science fiction books.
There is a Decemland waiting around the corner. There are harmless armed forces to be deployed on ten islands of peace. There are decempliant countries and monfortable countries. There are povertimmune countries. There is a race of the century leading to the establishment of the New International Territory. As far as I know I am not a character from a Hollywood movie or a science fiction book. As far as I know the expert dreamers that I identified are not in my imagination.
The potential to build a better world is only feasible if we believe change is around the corner. Let´s export the welfare state to those that were born to live in eternal poverty. Let´s eradicate disease and hunger once and for all. Let´s start building a new world, the world of no diplomacy, the world without borders.
The new architecture of capitalism is the beginning of The History of Tomorrow. We shall determine our own fate. We do not need Nostradamus or the Next Nostradamus to dictate that the models predict a World War III. There shall be no World War III if we defeat the Axis of feeble. There shall be no World War III if we embrace the extreme poor and the environment.
It is time. It is time to shout the urgency of our time. It is time to say why not instead of why. It is time to become men and women of political stature. Where are thou disciples of Marshall and Truman? Where are thou disciples of Monnet and Schuman? Shall you wake up Sleeping Beauty? Will you conquer the American friend?
Let´s move ahead, let´s start the journey of our lifetime, let´s say why not instead of why. There is a new world ahead of us, there is a society waiting for us in 2050, expecting that we will undertake change and reform, expecting that we will prioritize the interest of the most vulnerable.
It is time to start the journey of our lifetime. It is time to write page-one of the History of Tomorrow. There is a window of opportunity and those that forsake it will live forever in the prison of thought. I dream therefore I am.
