Whats on my wish list for society 3.0?

• inclusion
• anti-racist
• gender equality
• climate action and mitigation
• nature at the center of everything, even human living systems after all we are nature
• society that respects and values all citizens
• new re-imagined values for Ireland 2020 – 2120
• church separated from state, education and heath
• review of the constitution to represent a broader sense of identity LGBT, new locals
• future generations represented in citizen assemblies
• what kind of ancestors are we being?
• flourish and thrive index (post GDP world)
  • what if our lives were not linked to growth but to quality of life?
  • universal basic income for all citizens
  • unlock peoples potential
  • solve poverty
  • solve homelessness
• re-imagined education that equips children and adults for a post truth world
• life long learning and accessibility to education for all
• functioning food systems with nutrition, soil, food meters at its core,
  • food security,
  • education on soil, microbes and regenerative farming
  • redesigned food pyramid
  • nutrition education for healthy and sustainable living
• equitable work more stewardship models for business, social enterprises; new business models, different funding and ownership, addressing real needs of citizenship, locality, SDG’s and circular economy at the core, VC model transformed into post-capitalist flourish model
• just and fair transition to low or no carbon economies, where the cost is not burdened on the citizen tax payer, shared by industry, sectors and offsetting is managed visible & accountability for impact, green washing, leadership & ownership of climate mitigation & action
• decentralised technology, more focus on tech for good, solving things that need to be solved rather than funding the next bro gimmick
• decentralised banking
• homes for everyone who needs somewhere to live
• decentralised wellness economy staying well at the core, data linked to wellness, genome, insurance & health proactive and managed rather than reactive and retrograde
• rural and urban community enhancement and strength, inclusive, resilient and engaged

This is a really persona bugbear but every time I go to fill out forms in Ireland or do anything in the following sectors; legal, bank or public service the forms insist that I have a maiden name that only give me options of MRS or MISS – I hate both terms, they are foreign to me. I’d like to use neither. My solicitor is fed up listening to me giving out about it. I want to fill out forms with personal data that is relevant to me, my generation not my grandmothers or mothers.

I’d really like to map new re-imagined values for Ireland 2120…
