U4P
UNIVERSITY FOR THE PLANET
We (You and I or all of us) are currently on course towards a collapse of the biosphere and the extinction of our species
The dominant forces in our society have been optimized in ways that are
counterproductive to the good of the people and the planet.
Today we have an unprecedented accumulation of knowledge, resources, and connectivity. If we build with the explicit purpose of thrivability for our planet and our people, we can reach a new level of sustainable prosperity.
We need to create a vehicle dedicated to the the flourishing of our planet and every person on it - so we are re-imagining the university in the original sense of the word "Universitas": the whole, total, the universe, the world.
