Free thinkers break the mould and do the unattainable

Darwin observed that “survival of the fittest” referred to neither the strongest nor the most intelligent of the species, but to those humanimals most flexible and adaptable to change. The mightiest natural species are those that can assimilate eco-environmental shifts without losing their fundamental identity and acclimation instincts. To avoid extinction, a Status Quo Vadis neo-Modern Manifesto presents insightful, pragmatic optimists with progressive, future strategies to map their own futures, focusing on:

Overcoming adversity, replaced instead with peaceful coexistence;

Empowering creative thinking and innovative options;

Abandoning uncivil wrongs, unbalanced inequities and preconceived, defeatist notions;

Tearing down discriminatory, separatist, frontier barriers;

Daring remote-controlled authorities to take calculated risks;

Departing from the familiar with unique-perspective visions; and

Facing the exciting challenge of change with responsibility and accountability.

“One size fits all” no longer suits tailor-made, multiversity-encompassing diverse demands cut from many textures and cloths. The in-transition global realignment is generating a dramatic shift based on verifiable fact rather than blind faith – from West to East, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from national to regional shared interest, collective problem-solving and cooperative decision-making.
