Welcome to No The Now
We are an organization dedicated to improving the human condition and making war a thing of the past.
Humanity does not want the current world order any more. Humanity wants war to stop. No more spending endlessly on preparing for war. No more allowing human suffering to continue as a result. Humanity knows that what you prepare for, you do. No weapon that is created is not ultimately used. The out of date thinking that depends on conflict and war must stop.
Stop The Suffering
A man who had traveled far and wide told me "The days are getting shorter now."
I thought he meant that Winter was coming.
He said "No, I mean humanity is every day, more and more in darkness."
We've killed millions of us because we believe we need more. We take, and we beat and burn, bomb and kill.
There is less and less soul in us - less meaning in us.
Humanity has lost its way; or more accurately: never found its way.
We must stop dominating, crushing, imposing, coercing.
Let others be. From place to place we see things differently; we think things differently, live differently; have different religions - these are good things.
We all have the same basic needs including safety and security. By helping each other we accomplish this for all humanity.
We want peace.
No The Now: Encouraging Global Change
The Past
Governments may have tried, but history shows that peace seems to be beyond the capacity of governments to accomplish. Hundreds of millions of us have died and continue to die as a direct result of governments. No the Now does not seek to attribute blame or belabor the past; only to observe that current and historical approaches to life on Earth, including the distribution of resources and the pursuit of peace, have failed and will likely continue to fail. Alternate and better ways are what humanity urgently needs to adopt.
The Present
As a result of technology recently accessible to much of the world, we can now assist governments everywhere to no longer apply the methods and approaches that belong in the past. A better way is now possible.
The Future
With the help of people around the world, No The Now proposes the creation of a database of all imbalances, resources, conflicts, disputes and all other relationships between and amongst countries, peoples, places, economies, and geographies: the quantification and definition of human existence. The goal is to identify and predict where imbalances exist and are likely to result in conflict. Once identified, imbalances can be addressed and peaceful solutions found. The "Global Economic Genome Project" will position all countries to succeed without conflict and war.
Desperate Need for Change
There is no greater waste than industrial production related to war, no greater contributor to the destruction of the planet than military industries and the outcomes of the use of tanks, artillery, drones, missiles, naval ships, submarines and ground war. No pollution or human activity of any kind is more polluting and destructive in every way than nuclear war. That war still exists is a reminder of how much remains to be done.
Outer space is desecrated by military satellites, inviting warfare to the heavens. The insanity of war has no limits.
Humanity must use all intelligence, both human and machine to build and implement a plan for peace and accomplish peace. Far more important than the exploration of distant planets or any other agenda is the resolution of the human condition.
The needs of humanity are well known and with modern technology, peace can be accomplished through economic means. This has always been true yet humanity lacked the technology for real time , accurate, quantification of all economic realities. Now it is possible to quantify every material aspect of human life, in every country, for every person, and constructively address those needs.
As has been said and written many times; there are no shortages on Earth. Distribution is the key to peace, justice, stability and some kind of quality of life; not just for some of humanity: all of humanity.
People who are abandoned, neglected, oppressed, hated and poor are likely to have little hope for peace. People who are cared about and have some kind of quality of life, and a future they can understand choose peace.
Waste & Madness
The Costs of War
In 2022 the global expenditure on war/military was $2.24 trillion US dollars. That money could house, feed, educate and deliver peace to all people in need on Earth.
No the Now seeks to replace war spending with peace spending. It will take time and the minds and dedication of thousands, if not millions around the world; but it can be done. We can transform humanity from what we are now, and have been for thousands of years, to a peaceful, benevolent, dynamic and compassionate humanity. With your help, belief and courage, No the Now will strive to deliver peace for all.
Our purpose with the "Global Economic Genome Project" is to further a process and a new way of thinking that prevents conflict, fighting and abandons war. Human beings, in our own way, are the most intelligent life form on the planet. We are capable of much more and better for ourselves, our planet, and all living things. No the Now is dedicated to peace. Please join us in the systematic dismantling of the engines of war, concurrent with the establishment of a global psychology of peace and prevention.
Over 2 trillion dollars per year are now being spent on war. The cost of peace is a fraction of that amount.
