School shootings, the war in Ukraine, America's drift toward fascism, climate change and the coming collapse of Earth's life support capacity has a common root: It is universal menace around the world, also known as high and rising global socioeconomic STRESS. This is complicated because human behavior is altered by high stress. Our brain switches from rational thought process to reflexive fight or flight "reptilian" stress response. This is a legacy of the evolutionary jungle from which we failed to fully graduate. The human primitive stress response is deeply embedded in our neuroendocrine system that cannot be surgically removed. Our option is to elevate universal quality of life that would keep stress levels low and dormant. Reducing global socioeconomic stress will not be simple or cheap, but it is doable. Caution! Don't wait for politicians or bureaucrats to do the work, no matter how fiercely you protest, it is beyond their skillsets to build a better bridge to a future of peaceful systemic sustainability. So, come join, we have to do this or no one will.
The reality and the rule of the universe is evolution from simple to complex. Along that long road, from the Big Bang to the Big Brain humanity has graduated from the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age and the rest. Then came the steam engine, electricity, the Atomic Age and the Information Age. Please note that in the 21st century the world had entered the Age of Complexity.
We also learned that “If we don’t take action, the collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon” — Sir David Attenborough at a UN Climate Conference.
Attempted simple solutions with the old mindset cannot solve problems in the Age of Complexity because: A problem cannot be solved by the same mindset that created it. — Albert Einstein paraphrased.
The problems in the Age of Complexity are beyond the capacity of left-right politics to solve. And a far greater problem arrived: Democracy has entered its old age of gridlocked incapacity as societies are sliding toward disorder and fascism in the US and elsewhere. Global collective stress is rising to dangerous levels in which angry fingers pull the triggers in schools and supermarkets; a stressed and manic twitchy finger somewhere in the world is about to push the nuclear button and plunge the word into MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). There is no political solution to humanity's existential challenge and current societal infrastructures cannot accommodate the necessary transformation. Societal Reconstruction is a must if humanity is to survive and thrive on this amazing but endangered planet Earth.
We have only a few years “To take action” before the “Collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world” arrive at our doorsteps. Young and old, rich and poor, public and private, all have an action part waiting in the Holigent Initiative. In essence we need to fully graduate from the evolutionary jungle by building a better bridge to our future of universal quality of life in peaceful systemic sustainability.
The challenge is not as hopeless as it sounds. You are invited to initiate or participate in one or both: The US and the European societal reconstruction projects.
The U.S. Societal Reconstruction Project in 6 Steps
Step 1. On this site, www.holigent.org, find The_Holigent_Initiative.pdf — Let it be your Action Guide.
Step 2. Form informal groups on university campuses to study and promote The Holigent Initiative.
Step 3. Invite your professors to participate and foster collaboration with faculty and administration.
Step 4. Organize Instructive Demonstrations and lobby groups to gather in Washington DC to inform and encourage Congress to establish a Department of Homeland Reconstruction. Remind Congress that building global peace and sustainability to save civilization and the natural world will require the magnitude of cost and effort no less than winning World War II and the Marshal Plan rebuilding Europe. When the US Holigent project is successful, seed the program around the world and nurture the expansion of universal quality of life, global peace and systemic sustainability in the interest of averting collapse and extinctions and allow humanity to survive and thrive on our one and only amazing planet Earth.
Step 5. When $12 million becomes available, Holigent.Org will buy a cluster of 10 homes in Los Angeles along the Expo Line in proximity to USC. The ten homes will form an experimental and demonstration campus in which young Americans will live and learn the art, science and skills to become Holigent Solutioneers for cellular hybrid societal retrofit and reconstruction, a community at a time.
Step 6. When federal and private grants become available, organize and build Holigent Village Communities that are compliant with nature’s building and sustainability code.
The European Societal Reconstruction Project in 5 Steps
Step 1. Holigent.Org is engaging in grant writing and fundraising.
Step 2. When the money is available, ($3.5 million can begin to Save the World from collapse and extinctions). A Nicholas Frank, founder and CEO of Holigent.Org will travel to Central Europe and Holigent.Org will buy a cluster of 10 homes in Budapest. (Yes, the $ goes a long way in Hungary).
Step 3. The ten homes will form a campus in which young Europeans will live and learn the art, science and skills to become Holigent Solutioneers for cellular hybrid societal retrofit and reconstruction a community at a time.
Step 4. As it matures, the Campus will form a Holigent Village reorganized to comply with nature’s building and sustainability code.
Step 5. Holigent Solutioneers will travel to Brussels to introduce the concept of hybrid cellular societal reconstruction at the European Union. They will submit proposals and ask EU to support the expansion of the Holigent Project in Budapest to become the Holigent Global Village — a permanent live world exhibition introducing a new societal organizing concept for global peace and systemic sustainability.

If you are a young person disappointed with studying old unsustainable academic concepts; being a "corporate slave" living in "consumer kingdoms"; seeing dark clouds of climate change gather as Earth looses its life-support capacity; watch democracy failing while societies are sliding toward fascism; hearing the thunder of war across continents; and shudder at the thought of rising global socioeconomic stress ignite a war that could escalate and plunge the world into a nuclear holocaust; in a nuclear world war the lucky ones will die instantly, while most will die a slow torturous death in a radiation poisoned world.
You have the power to change that dark scenario! Not simple, but doable and you can do it. Here is how. Nature perfected the technic through billions of years of evolution as it assembled cells into networks to make your organs, then let organs collaborate (one for all and all for one) to sustain your life.
You have tons of information at your fingertips, assemble the good one into "organs" of knowledge. Continue assembling knowledge into systems of wisdom. Follow the spirit of Socrates, who suggested millennia ago that "The unexamined life is not worth living". Examine life and take action.
Many problems will have to be solved because soon life will not be livable on Earth. Follow the wisdom of Albert Einstein who suggested (paraphrased) "A problem cannot be solved by the same mindset that created it". Don't stop there, examine life with a new mindset and project your emerging wisdom into action to build a better bridge to your future of peaceful systemic sustainability.
