About us
A ‘worldwider’ is a new term we have coined to describe someone who may follow a particular creed, doctrine or religion, guru, wise man or woman, but who also seeks to follow their journey flexibly with a worldwide outlook. Perhaps, having found this website you are such a person? A person who finds politics, capitalism, socialism, communism, anarchy, religions and other creeds useful sources of ideas but is not trapped or dominated by them. This website describes a vision of a new Worldwider outlook, whilst aiming to be light of spirit (because too many websites and books on such serious subjects end up lecturing, preaching or just being boring).
For too long the World’s leaders have hidden behind ‘Politics’ which is a process of following a particular creed such as ‘right’ and ‘left’ rather than applying practical common sense intelligence to the problems at hand. Politics is nothing more than a system, based on bureaucratic principles, that too often ends up feeding itself. Politicians are often too far away from the actual issues and problems to even begin to understand many of them.
We have developed a world society model of an inverted pyramid, where hordes of politicians, bureaucrats, administrators and managers run systems not aimed at practical outputs, with a few frustrated or crushed individuals trying to deliver their outputs at the inverted point of the pyramid against ever changing ‘targets’.
Far more worrying however is the concentration of power in a few individuals. However good or well meaning, or bad as the case may be, such concentration of power is not healthy, and results in catastrophic failures such as the recent wars and disastrous economic policy, which have fed, rather than crushed, the terrorist cause.
We suggest something completely radical, that we abandon the system of global credit and replace it with a system of living within our means, and we move towards a slow (or no) growth system where we concentrate on worldwide health, sharing of resources, the strong supporting the weak to become more self reliant, agricultural principles that nurture the soil, food that nurtures us, and striving to live in peace and harmony with each other, out of mutual respect.
This website offers a new way to work together to sort out world problems ourselves, instead of waiting for leaders who seem more interested in acquiring power than in creating a better world.
