Building a Wonderful World

November 26, 2025

“I arise today, through the strength of Heaven; light of Sun, brilliance of Moon, splendor of Fire, speed of Lightning, swiftness of Wind, depth of Sea, stability of Earth, firmness of Rock.”

At Solari, we are often asked why we are optimistic about the future. We are far from oblivious to the risks and pain in our environment, yet we believe that a peaceful world is possible and that the path to our collective well-being begins with each of us transforming from the inside out—coming clean. With our prayers, actions, and transactions, we have the power to shift energy away from those who misuse power and move it to ourselves and to those who are worthy stewards of our planet’s wealth and our children’s future.

The current financial system is centralizing political and economic power in a manner that is draining or destroying living equity—people, plants, animals, and our natural resources—as well as the financial equity of many people worldwide. We liken these forces to a tapeworm, a parasite that grows stronger as we feed it. Like a tapeworm, these forces inject addictive substances into our system that we have allowed to incentivize us to participate in what makes the tapeworm strong. As we do, we are drained until we perish.

How do we stop building a parasitic economy?

  1. Wonderful outpouring of wisdom. Kudos for the invocation of Paul Muad’ dib (nee Atriedes). The Empire was an exploitative totalitarian government by force. The rising of the Fremen was inevitable as the intrigues and assassinations under the emperor’s system became undeniable crimes. It occurs to me that our world may be described in a 2×2 matrix with higher aggressiveness on the x-axis and higher caring on the y. Reformers occupy the upper-right quadrant, which is tiny in comparison to that of the lower left, which are Victims. We need to move the crossbars back towards the Origin.
