Poems and a preface tracing the inseparable nature of morality and intelligence.

It's an exciting and hopeful time to be alive.
A better world is being chosen by all kinds of people whose lives are enhanced when they’re allowed, enabled, inspired to make more decisions in their lives.

The objection has always been: What good could come from letting ordinary people think?
Here is self-evident real-world proof that people thinking more is moral, intelligent and beautiful.

The great challenge of our era is finding thousands of ways in complicated large scale modern life of unleashing human intelligence. Democracy, including ever more people in decision making, is active, alive and intelligent and deserves respect for it. Freedom works, intelligence is beautiful because the default setting is love. Together our destiny is to wonder and speculate, create and explore, seek truth and solve the riddles of the universe.

Embracing the inherently moral nature of human heritage elevates the life of every individual, validating their own freedom, their hopes and dreams, when they welcome those of others. It is the essential beating heart of the institutions that are making a more intelligent world possible by decentralizing decision making.

Find out how your life is enhanced when you accept humanity’s great gift, the smallness and particularity of self, opening the door to the world outside, gardens teeming with variety in which life takes place.

You decide.
