I was thinking in the future of Asgardia and this project brought to my mind a recent possible future. Like the recent movie Valerian we will see humanity living among other intelligent species like in the city named 'Alpha'. I wonder if other species could be citizens, I hope so it will be cool.

We don't see it possible only because we are standing far too close, the world, the present and the future is being made and remade every moment. How come we don't see ourselves joining this stream of inevitable change? Why don't we see ourselves as gears or even as main actors of this change?

We tend to see everything from the wrong point of view, at least the unconfident ones do. History shows us what's been done and will not be re-done as everything around us is taken for, settled. We cannot possibly change or add anything of value. It has been done already. This is where we are wrong.

At present we have countless tools and paths to make our ideas come through, not to mention an immense library online at our disposal to craft and share our thoughts, inventions, morals, beliefs.

When i devoted my life to music i fell in this trap. Urging myself to come up with something new to find the market's acceptance, which never happened. I only struggled and got myself disappointed every time until i finally understood that i wanted to write and compose what i really thought and felt, maybe other would too. It was then when i finally found peace and love for what i was doing.

We need to stop falling in this trap and understand that people, as we speak, are constantly changing the world from laboratories, councils, friends just arguing about what's good and what's bad and also, the other ones writing ideas holding a cup of tea and a keyboard. We need to understand that we can and must be an actor and not someone who only goes by watching and watching.

History is not what happened centuries ago, it is happening now and it's remade every day. Change is not finished.

With that said, any of us has a theoretical chance of becoming this change on a big, regular or small scale Let's educate ourselves by studying what we believe and what we do not really believe but has been inherited in to our minds by our ancestors, by traditions. it is then, when your full potential and confidence comes out. Then you become unstoppable.

Be Braver Today.

Sometimes i ask myself if civilization as we know it will ever consider the idea of driving each of our lives based on philosophy and science, this could only, entirely change our race by placing us no longer as small creatures overseen and judged by almighty cold gods, rather as witnesses of this greatness called universe as fundamentally necessary to witness existence exist.

Life takes a twist when we truly question life itself. questioning ourselves and our surroundings have led us to understand and manipulate the world for our own prosperity in the present and the future. Not always in the most responsible form.

Science is key for our race, for our future.

We usually confuse technology with science. Technology is the reason most of us support science but these are not exactly the same. We need to learn to trust science, science is honest, humble and open. Science is the only way for us to evolve and overcome our next challenges and educate our consciousness to finally prioritize what matters and what not.

We are not a mistake or a mere consequence of life, we are life.

These ideas drive my life, these ideas are meaningless if not shared with others that may absorb parts of it and enrich another idea, the life-cycle of philosophy. Asgardia could be the beginning of a philosophical, knowledgeable and scientific race.

MY VISION - ASGARDIAN SOCIETY

My name is Luis Garibaldi .

IT Operations Manager, Certified in Networking, A+ ITIL & Leadership "Voices of the Leader" and now, devoted student of philosophy. Life has dragged me all around.

I am not here to sell an idea or convince you to believe anything, i only want to share with you a view i truly enjoy.

Through history many great thinkers have exposed the positive and negative sides of our society. The Stoicism questioned among many things, society, Confucius, Matsuo Basho and of course, The Buddha questioned the journey of humans through life and why things are what they represent and how we tend to react at these events in a life-time. How can we use this knowledge to our advantage?

Asgardia is the beginning of this vision by utilizing both Eastern and Western philosophy.

A society dedicated to knowledge, self-knowledge and science is the combination to detonate friendship, responsibility, real education, hard-work aimed towards a common goal. Life & Humanity in harmony.

We are not strangers in this universe and this magnificent project requires a high-conscious approach to be a complete success.

MY SKILLS FOR ASGARDIA

I could not pretend or even try to sell myself as someone who knows how to build Asgardia as a whole perfectly fine when it comes to budget or logistics, but i do understand that human leadership, morals, cooperation and deep thought is equally needed. To try and put order into words.

My journey for Asgardia will be aimed to carefully craft our consciousness , the understanding of our basic nature through questioning and tackling down mind walls that could slow down the process of being fully awake in a life-time.

My people skills provide me with the correct tool set to analyze and support team members by reaching agreements, or what i call, win-win situations.

My love for technology and understanding of IT Processes , as analyst and manager will certainly help me maximize another of my potentials in this new society.

Jump in and lets play with this idea for a little bit longer.

When this so-called insignificant little creature has inside his/her skull a neurological contraption that is able to center itself in the midst of these incredible expansive galaxies and start measuring the whole thing, That is quite extraordinary

"We did not come to this world, we came out of it" - Alan Watts

“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”

― Alan W. Watts

Si la raza humana desea expandirse a otros mundos, hay muchos cambios que se necesitan: el cuerpo humano no responde bien a la falta de gravedad, ni a la radiación, por mencionar sólo un par de retos biológicos.

Pero como sociedad también hay muchas cosas que requieren ser cambiadas, y una de esas es el modelo económico, el cual se basa en la idea del CONSUMISMO: Hay que vender mucho, hay que hacer que la gente compre las cosas producidas aunque sean inútiles, pero está últimas se vuelven deseables por estar de moda. Y de preferencia que todo sea desechable, con una vida útil corta, para que la gente vuelva a comprar.

La vida de cada persona solo es tan valiosa como la cantidad de dinero que puede gastar en los productos que compra.

Si la humanidad va a recorrer el camino hacia las estrellas es necesario que desde el primer paso la sociedad este adaptada y deseosa de aprovechar todo lo que ofrezca está nueva edad. Existen muchas novelas y películas de distopías en donde la avaricia de empresas resta todo el valor a la vida, humana o de cualquier tipo: Aliens, Avatar... Si hacemos a un lado la parte de la ficción, en la historia reciente podemos encontrar que muchas empresas han puesto sus intereses por encima de la vida de las personas, y no dudan en arrasar con el medio ambiente.

El problema radica en que es bastante posible que esta conducta continúe.
