Werner Erhard said we can live our lives in one of two ways: according to circumstances, or according to a vision. Now, in 2024, we must develop a vision of a world without war. We need to imagine a planet without war a hundred years from now, and then reverse engineer from there.
Where we play war games, we should also play peace games. Where we have armies of military personnel, we should also have armies of peace builders. Where we have a Military Academy, we should also have a Peace Academy. We should have a U.S. Department of Peace.
The task of our generation is to create a world in which real peace is possible. Such a world would be defined by global collaboration of a kind we have never seen before. That will not be easy, and it will not be quick. But we must get started.
Our campaign has stood for a better future for humanity. We will continue to stand for that. Let's devote ourselves to a better way, a different vision, and a hopeful future for all the world.
Together, we can make it happen.
