Ideas for equality.
Questions that matter everywhere.

Over the centuries, we have created structures and perpetuated processes in which happiness and dignity have been mortgaged to people’s ability to navigate them and their skills in managing them.

We are almost the only species on the planet to have defined and institutionalised success largely in terms of manipulating and manoeuvring our own kind to gain more and give less.

Because we have institutionalised all this, we have come to believe that these structures and processes are sacrosanct—without reflecting sufficiently or deeply on their erroneous foundations.

Thus, our societies have millions of people who must innovate simply to survive, while the well provided-for innovate to make millions. That is a significant difference.

Many thoughtful and empathising people, propelled by their consciences, have tried to provide solutions to mitigate this situation. Yet these efforts have sought only to mitigate it, not extinguish it, because they work within the existing structures and processes that have become sacrosanct. The result has been some impact for some people.

Consequently, millions perish while struggling to live with dignity, while many others run out of time in the struggle merely to live.

We all know that justice cannot be served to the dead; it becomes meaningless. We may try to scrub our consciences, but they can never be cleansed. We can, of course, subjugate them—and that is what many of us do.

Most problems are outcomes of this vicious cycle. Solving it will produce a shower of solutions for other problems that may appear unconnected, because everything is connected to something else.

We have therefore decided to focus entirely, to begin with, on Socio-Economic Balance through Equality. There are many ways to accomplish that goal, and this podcast is not the first to attempt it.

Our approach may, however, be somewhat different:

1. We will speak to experts from various domains, nudging and probing them for ideas that can help solve this problem and generate thinking across a wide canvas.
2. We will remain steadfast in generating ideas that can urgently advance Socio-Economic Balance through Equality for those who are living. Justice delivered only after death is infructuous.
3. We will generate innovative ideas—using technology and insights from a wide array of domains, and adapting to or modifying human behaviour—to reach the goal with a sense of urgency.

We are committed to this mission. We begin this journey to generate ideas for Socio-Economic Balance through the reduction of inequality—not to achieve arithmetical equality, but to secure a dignified life for all. This must be done today, not in some distant future when those living today are no longer alive.
