Dear Humans:
As of today, my team at our think and do tank The Project for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity (pach.org) is starting the "What would your children say?" campaign (or your inner child if you don't have children). It's riffing off the question of "what would Jesus say/do?" After spending almost four decades listening to teenagers and young adults around the world and of many, many identities, nationalities, and religions, my team and I have come to the conclusion that they are our moral conscience and we need to let them lead the way so we can all have a future regardless of what party we voted for or didn't vote for or how much money we make or don't make or which religion we have or don't have or what identities we have or don't have.
We adults are lost morally and ethically because we are not listening to what they have been telling us for over a century regarding the cultural roots of our problems and how to work collectively and individually to solve our own problems and create a culture that better aligns with our nature and our needs. If we begin to listen to them, we will know how to get where we want to go --- all of us and not just some of us.
