Blog Book Summary: Link

America's highest and most important value is not FREEDOM.  As a matter in fact, the blind and selfish pursuit of freedom independent and with no or limited respect for others, is the metastasizing cancer that has and is causing strife and polarization, in America and around the world, on course to destroy this planet, during the life times of our children and grand children.  Is this the legacy and destiny we want to leave for current and future generations of humans on this  planet?

​

America's actual highest and most important value and aspiration is the creation and maintenance of a More Perfect Union for "ALL".  Americans.  How and why is this so crucially important.  A More Perfect Union for "ALL", means that America is intentionally organized in a way so that individuals have the resources and support to discover and develop to be the best version of themselves individually, "WHILE AT THE SAME TIME COLLECTIVELY", making the time and investing resources to discover how both our collective differences and commonalities allows us to maximize synergies so that working together collectively we are the best versions of ourselves as families, communities, businesses, cities, state and as a nation.  

​

This is it, E Pluribus Unum.....Out of Many, One.....Democracy!!!

Maximum Freedom, Prosperity and good will is achieved when we make the time to harness the best of each other for each other both individually and as a collective whole.  It's called a more perfect Union or more perfect Unity, because we have proactively made the time and effort to love one another enough to understand, position and include (DEI) everyone in the life process doing what they love and do best, creating collective synergies and resulting productivities that exceed mankind's highest expectations.  Literally ....."Heaven on earth........as it is in Heaven"

​

The Economic Gospel for the USA is Here...........is the history, the story and the recommendations on how, we as Americans can right now, save ourselves and future generations of Americans and citizens of this world by.............................

 

 "Americans willfully and happily in love with being American to each other and willfully and happily in love with being American to the rest of the world"...........This is the Economic Gospel for the USA!!!!   Let's Do This!!!!!!!!

And What does it mean to be an American????

 

Mission - Being American is Winning Americans Love for Willfully and Intentionally - Creating and Maintaining a "MORE PERFECT UNION FOR ALL AMERICANS (not just the wealthiest 20%) as America's Highest Priority!!!

 

 

Strategy - (This is how we create and maintain a more perfect union for all Americans) -  Teach About, Learn Lessons From and Hold America and Americans "ACCOUNTABLE" for the Massive Economic & Moral Hazards, America has Willfully and Intentionally Inflicted upon itself and other Countries, as the Motivation, the Means and the Grace for Winning Americans love for Willfully and Graciously, UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER(ICU), so that we can work, plan and invest "TOGETHER" so that "ALL AMERICANS" develop into the best version of themselves, individually, and at the exact same time , Win  Americans love for Willfully and Graciously, UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER(ICU), so that we can work, plan and invest  "TOGETHER" so that all Americans develop into the best version of "OURSELVES", as a COLLECTIVE NATION - by harnessing DEI as the most "SYNERGISTIC" and "PRODUCTIVE" process for  achieving/exceeding America's Best Win - Win Moral, Economic and Societal Goals/Outcomes for All Americans (not just the wealthiest 20% ), as America's absolute Highest Priority, both NOW AND IN THE LONGER TERM FUTURE!!!!!!

 

 

DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion)  is a process or strategy in the physical universe, in nature, in business, society and life that allows for the most successful and sustainable development and maintenance of Ecosystems on Earth and in the Universe.

 

Examples:

  • Research and Discovering of enough DEI data, the more diverse the better, ' required to "MOST" effectively train the newest and most powerful technology ever developed by mankind, AI

  • DEI is the most fundamental strategy for maximizing returns on stocks or other asset markets(Commodities, real-estate, FX, Rates)

  • DEI is actually SWOT analysis in company or organizational strategy development and planning………on all levels and from all perspectives DEI = SWOT

  • DEI of Professional Sports - NFL, NBA, MBL, etc….as we discussed above with DEI of stocks, bonds, etc…..DEI is not just about finding, developing and including people diversity, but its any asset or resource that helps your organization, company, team, Ecosystem perform at its absolute best

  • Bio-diversity in nature and life processes - provide for the optimum development and sustainability of Life in the worlds many ecosystems.

  • Etc…God or the Universe created diversity, equity and inclusion processes in the Universe as golden nuggets and the means by which life and humans can solve all their problems on earth and literally have ……"Heaven on Earth, as it is in Heaven", if we  discover, love , get to know, respect and master our diversity on this planet, put here to make life maximally much more successful, if we use our DEI together to maximize synergy and productivity for all humans on earth, creating and maintaining a More Perfect Union, for all Americans and All humans on this planet.

 

 

 

Let’s analyze DEI in greater detail:

 

  • Diversity: Is the identification, development and mastery of the full diversity(All Americans) of the American people's best and most unique portfolio of gift, skills and talents, "PREPARED FOR" and "ORGANIZED FOR" the best super "SYNERGISTIC" and "PRODUCTIVE" use in the US Economy and American Society.

 

  • Equity: Ensures that Diversity Development and Diversity Inclusion in America is done in a way that  ensures a level and fair playing field governs the process, “JUSTICE”, accounting for unfair or criminal - economic and social violations inflicted on protected groups of people in America, is created and maintained for all Americans

 

  • Inclusion: Develop and maintain a process that Includes everyone who is physically and mentally able to actively participate in the education, employment and business processes in the economy and society at large.  This means, AS AN EXAMPLE,  that a college student graduating from state public college in a high poverty inner city or  rural community will have just as good of a chance of getting an interview for a corporate job or working on the political campaign of a famous politician, as a college student graduating from Harvard, and whose parents are massive donors/investors to the college of Harvard and are massive investors in the corporation or the political campaign that the students are competing to get interviews for.

 

 

DEI, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are actually the structural and fundamental building blocks for achieving the best version of democracy possible.  What is the best version of democracy possible.  The best version of democracy possible, is when everyone in society has developed or is developing into the best unique version of themselves possible, precisely because everyone in the economy/society has agreed that it is in America's best interest to make the time and invest in ourselves and in each other so that we discover what is the best and most synergistic way for everyone to work, learn and play together as a nation, states, cities and communities…..so that individually we are the best version of ourselves possible and simultaneously, collectively, together we are the best versions of ourselves as families, communities, cities, states and the nation as a whole.  This is the Definition of a More Perfect Union for All Americans

 

The best version of Democracy possible is achieved through DEI.  DEI is the process by which America achieves E Pluribus Unum.  Out of Many, One.  No short cuts.   The short cuts to the democratic process are what caused:

 

  •  Massive Wealth Inequality of African Americans in America

​

  •  Catastrophic Climate Change Development and current out of control growth

 

  •  The Global Credit Crisis and Great Recession of 2007 – 2009 

​

  •  America’s Worse Response to Covid - 19 on the Planet Earth

​​

  • The Catastrophic American/Israeli vs. Iranian Unnecessary/Imoral War of Choice - Caused/Driven/Started by Israel & America

 

Another name for the best version of Democracy possible is, “The creation and maintenance of A More Perfect Union for All Americans, as America’s HIGHEST PRIORITY – again this process is implemented, achieved and maintained by DEI, the most productive process for creating and maintaining life itself.

 

 

GOALS - Two Goals:

 

  • SERVANT LEADERSHIP SPEECH EVENTS: Weekly Public speaking events to wake up and engage public with important things they should consider about how our economy, society and government are working and what we need to do to make sure that we are best aligned as a people to ensure that all of our best individual and collective interest are best being served.

 

  • WAKE UP & ENGAGE PUBLIC with Moral & Economic  SPEECH LEADERSHIP EVENTS (Lessons Learned), that EMPOWER AMERICANS to "WIN being in Love with" (WOKE TO)  being "AMERICAN" to "All Other Americans" and to "WIN being in Love with" (WOKE TO)  being "AMERICAN" to the "Rest of the World"

 

  • High Priority, Complex & Polarized Issues requiring Historical, Moral and Economic Context

 

  • Lead with Speech or Conversation that sets Framework, boundaries and Narrative for Post Speech Discussion.  Discussions are framed and led by the principles of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) which are loving and respectful discussions that can be very tough and emotional, but always with the intent of creating greater understanding and compassion for others and the group so that the group and the audience are in effect becoming a more perfect union.  Discussion that distracts and causes chaos and friction for the purpose of separating, scapegoating and demonizing others, will not be allowed to continue in the discussion or the group.  There is a difference between people who disagree, and people who are deliberately creating chaos, putting down and demonizing others, to win power and control over the group, because their points of views are not being accepted the way they perceive that they should be being accepted.  Have patience to learn and understand yourself and others in the group, until you learn how you can better communicate your views, or work with others to get help in how you can better communicate your views, or maybe concede at some point, that maybe your views may need to be adjusted to reflect some realities of life that you are not considering.

 

  • Target Communities/Organizations most intimately impacted by Issue under consideration - Colleges, Churches, Unions, Social/Political/Community/Interest Group Organizations, Companies, Industry Organizations, Govt. Organizations, etc…

 

  • Want to understand and harness the publics point of view on issues - to serve as pressure and "REAL ACCOUNTABLE ACTION ON" - Government, Business, or any groups Significantly and Negatively impacting public Values/Morality, Economic Security, Education, Health, Safety & General Welfare and Enjoyment of Life

 

  • Want a common Man's/Woman's point of view.  People involved do not have to be famous or leaders in the community, business, government or entertainment - although we will not exclude those people because they are themselves a part of the common public.  We want a point of view that is representative of the people, which includes the wealthy and the poor and everything in between.  We have to get to know each other and love each other if we are going to have a chance at creating and maintaining a more perfect union for all Americans past, present and future…..what we are doing together now will limit and/or provide room for expansive growth and development for all future generations of Americans on this planet.

 

  • Want recorded video podcast, where event registration is sent out two to three weeks in Advance with detailed description of topic, references, links to website to prepare audience for discussion, registration process will provide audience an opportunity to ask questions that they may want to ask during event and give them the option to specify if they would like to be called on to bring their questions on line and serve as a guest panelist to have a conversation with speaker on topics or issues that you asked during registration.  Panelist will be notified prior to event that their questions have been selected and they will have the option of being a panelist on the podcast if they wish to participate.  Speakers speech will be anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes with up to two hours blocked out for discussion, but event can end well before that time if discussion naturally comes to a close before time limit is reached

 

  • Etc……

 

 

 

  • LEADERSHIP DEBATE EVENTS: Public Debate Events which provide a fun, competitive but very helpful and clarifying way for the  public to see people just like themselves debate in ways that really help people to see the issues and see what people really feel, think and believe about issues and topics that are important to them in their everyday lives and you get to get confirmation by seeing these debate discussions everywhere by many diverse people from all walks of life, giving their views and not just repeating what they hear on the internet because the nature of this debate process requires that you show yourself and show that you have listened to and understood your debate opponent, which shows your true character and allows people to see how you make decisions about people seeing who they really are and having fun doing that at the same time.

 

  • WIN America's Love for creating and maintaining A More Perfect Union for ALL AMERICANS,  by WINNING America's Love for being in Love with  Challenging their Opposition to ICU More Perfect Union Debates, for the most Important and Catastrophically Polarized Issues in America or on the Planet

 

  • This debate process is designed for debates which are catastrophically polarized, complex, gaslighted and are of extreme importance to the public and society, for voting and decision making purposes, and could have or have already had catastrophic consequences for the public because discussion on the topic/issue has been purposely distorted or gaslighted so that distorting party or group remains, Uneconomically,  Unethically and Immorally in control, etc…

 

  • Public is not necessarily demanding it but there is a need for significantly more debate in society at large and not just among the most powerful, the wealthiest or well-known people on the planet.  Also the issue is not just having the debate, but framing the debate so that debate is fair and transparent for debaters and for the audience, they should all be on the same page at the time of the debate, knowing all the rules, the topics, etc, how the game is played just like when you watch sport event or game shows on TV, who the participants are, what their background is, interviews and promotional events with debaters and audience, before, during and after event, just like what happens for a championship boxing match or MMA fight.

 

  • These debates will be recorded and kept on website for public to view and support their decision making for voting or other decisions that they may need to make about issues around that particular debate and the issues that it covers

 

  • These types of debates act as substitutes for public protest or strikes, allowing communities and organizations to debate in public in a way so that public learns and understand issues very clearly and from many perspectives and contexed properly with history, economics and morality so that both the big picture and intimate details of individual situations are discussed and acted out in public in a way that the best Win - Win is produced between diametrically opposed and polarized stakeholders to the debate process.  Bad actors who are in the debate to stir up mess and gaslight will be exposed by this process for all the public to see and judge them by

 

  • Process allows people from anywhere in the world to be involved in the debate, at the same time, participating as debaters, judging audience members, debate facilitator, debate host, debate commentators, etc…

 

  • Debate winners include debaters, Audience based on which audience members were the best and most fair judges, debate facilitator who achieves or  exceeds debate facilitation goals.   Debate Producer decides what type of prize or compensation winners of debate earn

 

  • Profits from debate event go to event producers and people or organizations assisting event producer to produce event.

 

  • One of the reasons Donald Trump has been so successful is that for the past six years, he has not debated anyone. He refuses to debate and show up for debates during his second term campaign in 2024, except when he debated Joe Biden which was a catastrophe for Joe Biden but Kamala Harris Whooped his butt, and he refused to debate her again.  Normally for a presidential campaign you have to debate at least three times.  He only debate Kamala once, because he knew he would get beat miserably.   Notice that Maga supporters do not really like to debate or have competition.   They like to get up and say what they want to say without being challenged, or if you challenge them, instead of debating, they start name calling and demonizing and appealing to public fears so that you never get to see the character of the people running for office until they get in office and forget about you and start using the office to achieve their own authoritarian objectives.   That is why it is important we challenge them with debates regularly between now and the time that it is time to vote so that the public see's who these people are that want to represent them, in action, standing on their feet and demonstrating whether they have morals, compassion, empathy, leadership, creativity, truth and the ability to bring Americans together on complex and tough issues that require that we work together and come to the best decision for all of us, even though we may vehemently disagree on many topics and issues.   ICU More Perfect Union Debates allow you to see all of these characteristics, features, strengths, weaknesses, talents to support your effective decision making on these candidates, with back up analytics to support what you saw and viewed with your own eyes, feelings and perspectives. 

 

  • The roles and instructions for being a debater, audience member, facilitator, etc are easy, documented and provided to public two to three weeks before the event.  All the questions that will be asked in the debate will be made public and available to debaters, audience, facilitator, etc two to three weeks before the event.   Study & preparation package will also be included with registration, including all the questions that will be asked in the debate and the sequence in which questions will be asked to each debater.  Knowing what the issues are and what the questions are and what the research for the questions are, is important, but not the most important issue.   The most important issue is what type of person and character are the debaters and what type of person and character do the audience and the debate facilitator have.  How do they show care, concern, judgement, empathy, leadership, creativity, truth for the purpose of best serving the interest of all the people who they must serve, those that love them and agree with what they believe and want to do and those who dislike or even hate them and do not like what they believe and what they want to do.   ICU More Perfect Union Debates, bring out debaters ability to lead and unify a diverse and polarized audience so as to create solutions and outcomes that are best for everyone.   Today, there does not exist a debate process like what I have just described.  Debaters are allowed to lazily and easily turn the debate into a free for all of name calling, gaslighting and entertainment that allows the real character and person to hide behind that freak show and never get tested until they get elected and have the responsibility for leading and governing  but no talent or experience to effectively execute their responsibilities.
