The Travel in Time

Posted: 04/08/10 06:00 PM ET

The History of Tomorrow begins today. It is a History yet to be written. It is a History yet to be imagined. It is a beautiful dream come true. It is a true love story that has an end in 2050. The History of Tomorrow begins today. It is a History yet to be written.

I have imagined the History of Tomorrow and outlined it in The Monfort Plan. The History of Tomorrow is designed to avoid conflicts and wars that lie ahead if we do not react on time. We can choose our own destiny as human beings. We can embrace global priorities once and for all. We can put the vulnerable at the very core of a new capitalist paradigm. We can choose to change gears and become inclusive with the extreme poor and not exclusive. We can target a sustainable future for us, our children and grandchildren.

Future generations will look backwards in time and wonder why we did not react on time. Future generations will turn us their back and condemn our myopic behavior and shortsightedness. But we can change the course of history. But we can accelerate trends and move ahead in order to materialize progress ahead of time.

We can travel in time. But we have to be certain that once we depart the Journey of our lifetime there shall be no return. But we have to be convinced a better future lies ahead of us, but we have to stay focused on reaching the final destination of Decemland, a world of food abundance and universal welfare.

We must not be afraid to depart. We must not give up the beautiful dream of reaching out consensus that targets the common good. We are one people, united. We must walk together and tackle the great evils of our time. This is war against hunger and disease. This is war against war and conflict. There shall be a History of Tomorrow, a beautiful history. There shall be a travel in time capable of moving forward in an accelerated timeline.

We are one people, united. Everyone of us deserves dignity independent from his or her place of birth. Everyone of us deserves healthcare and education, independent from his or her place of residence. We must be ambitious. We must encourage the adoption of global redistribution schemes.

The Expert Dreamers are inhabitants of Decemland. We returned to the World of 2010 to push the contemporary society of the twenty-first century forward in time. We came back to the past, to a tipping point from which we can enter the Train of Dreams, a twenty-first century replica of Tardis, the time machine.

We lived past, present and future. We felt the atrocities of the past and of the future, which can be avoided. We share a common dream that it is yet to be implemented. Let's move one step forward. Let's begin the Journey towards the future. The Window of Opportunity begins today. Welcome to the Journey of our lifetime.

There is a way out of the maze. There is a map of Treasure Island. There are answers to many of the questions we always asked ourselves. The answers hide in the hearts and brains of the Expert Dreamers, who will depart in a Journey of no return towards Decemland, the land of ten percent.

Guide us future generations, show us the path towards the sustainable future, shed us the light we shall need in times of darkness. We lived past, present and future, a future that shall be avoided. There is a shortcut, there is a way out of this mess, out of this maze.
