Our mission at Peak Prosperity is to “Create a world worth inheriting”. Every single day we feel like we’re doing everything we can to move towards this goal. But some days, it feels like our efforts may not be nearly enough to get the job done.
But while our own actions may be insufficient, they are necessary. And paired with the steps you take, and those of the hundreds of thousands of other PeakProsperity.com readers, our odds for success exponentially improve.
I’d like to slip out of ‘convincing mode’ for this piece. Because so many people still seem to be unaware of our many predicaments, I often find myself leaning towards lining up all the evidence, in the hope that I can open a few more eyes.
But not today. We all know the score. We’re collectively on a terribly unsustainable course. The data is overwhelming at this point.
All of this then, leads to the idea that to create a world worth inheriting we have to first admit that our society is not on track to do that.
It’s up to us to plan accordingly, based on what our own eyes, ears and hearts are telling us is true.
Mine tell me that there’s a better way, one that does not involve squabbling like primitive monkeys over key resources.
And then we must be willing to change on a very deep level. Both internally so we can be proper elders and compatriots to those around us, and externally as we move into a life of consuming less.
I look around and I see people using their big brains to work with nature, create abundance, and believe in ourselves as creative forces for good.
The opportunities that are capturing my personal attention most and are inspiring me into new action in my own life are…

Given that the powers that be are highly motivated to keep their power and privilege intact, we all need to be prepared for the trends to continue for a while longer, perhaps a lot longer, before they change.
In fact, I think we need to get this right out on the table; nothing will change until something forces that change.
Whether that’s an ecological catastrophe that cannot be ignored any longer, a financial collapse, or a social rebellion is unknowable. But something along those lines.
Power never gives up its advantages willingly. Especially not a power structure so far gone that it shrugs when its children (as young as 5!) and farmers alike are resorting to suicide as a means of escape from its depredations and oversights.
Especially not from a system of banking that doesn’t even question handing out many trillions of dollars against dodgy collateral (“it was an emergency!”).
Meanwhile you and I have to live our lives knowing that there’s a rigged game afoot that is rather unhinged and bottomless in its desire for more (mammon is winning).
The opportunity, such as it is, is for us to first recognize this game for what it is (rigged) and to realign our own actions with the future we wish to see. Step one is…
