=== Redefining our priorities ===
Imagine a world where society measures its success not by abstract economic indicators like Gross Domestic Product, but by measures of people's happiness and fulfillment, ecosystem health, and so forth. A world where you ask not what you can do for your country, but what both you ''and'' your country can do in the service of people and ecosystems everywhere. A world where technology is neither idolized nor demonized, where every technology is studied carefully to weigh its costs and benefits to all living things.
