The Future Is Now!

Here’s a script I’ve been working on to promote Meritocracy. Bear in mind it’s a 1st Rough Draft, but feel free to use any part of it that suits your needs… [ or not ]

The Future Is Now!

Imagine a world where every child has equal opportunities, every child starts at the same place on the starting line. Nobody is ahead of the game because of how wealthy their parents are, what their family connections are, or if they have inherited land and titles.

Every child advances in life based only on individual merit. Every child’s full potential is unlocked and there are no restrictions on how far they can go!

Tick-Tock - change is on the clock…

No social hierarchy presiding over its citizens. No being pigeon-holed into
outdated class systems. No bowing to an over-lordship of Kings and Queens and their cohorts, in a system left over from the Middle Ages.

With a millionaire’s inheritance tax, the gap between the rich and the poor, the haves and have not’s, will continually narrow, not continue to widen as it does at present.

Politicians will be doing what they’re supposed to be doing – serving the
people, not serving themselves and their own careers, while lining their
friends and their own pockets in the process.

Specialist experts in every field will advise politicians on the best solutions to any given problem. The politicians will then consult with the people and find the best way forward, agreeable to the majority.

Bankers will no longer walk away with obscene bonuses for making a loss,
while those on state benefits are hounded, harassed and made to feel the overall national debt is somehow their fault.

With countries respecting their cultural differences, while pulling together at the same time instead of apart, the chances of war will be much reduced.

Meritocracy offers such a world, but are you bold enough to reach out and
grasp it?

It feels like a revolution, doesn’t it? In many ways it is, but without the
violence and bloodshed that such change usually entails.

It’s a revolution of the MIND.

Many people across the globe are locked into thinking the system can’t be
changed. It’s little wonder people think this way, due to globalization, restricted 2 or 3 party politics, the doctrine of mass religions and the institutions of control with their propaganda media , all telling us every day that we should bow down and accept the status quo.

Think about it. It doesn’t have to be this way. All the 99% of world citizens have to do is believe in change and change will happen! The 1% super rich global power-elite who control everything are in the minority and hence they try to close every door to change when it comes knocking.

Let’s all knock on the door of change together and make it happen!

We are equal citizens, not unequal serfs!

The future is here, the future is now!

You can make it happen!

Choose REAL change - Choose MERITOCRACY!

This is a great piece @SeanMac, good work!

Have you thought about any images and/or videos that could accompany it?

If we chuck a few together and have a voiceover then we could create a simple video.

Thanks for the thumbs-up there Roberto, cheers!

These are some basic images that spring to mind - Time / Rising from the Ashes / Meritocracy Now…

Feel free to take it where you want to go, involve Diarmuid if he wants to input his skills, & whoever else would be on-board…

Thanks,
Sean

@Diarmuid_Russell @jjdnow What do you think we can create from the above draft?

I will kick around a few ideas with the images and the copy seanmac drafted. There are several things we can create with this such as Ads (digital and print), posters, postcards (as handouts) and incorporate into a video as suggested. I can carry the same design theme for all items.

I’ll have a think about this over the next few days and see what I can come up with. Where is this copy to be used? The look and design would depend on the context.

Hi Diarmuid - it’s a spoken word piece for audio/video in mind, but I think it works just as well on paper or website as well. My pictures are just a starting point to kick imagination off - feel free to come up with your own visual interpretation.

eg - I imagined if it was a political party broadcast/ promo video, the opening scene would be children lined up on a race track, with some ahead of the others before the starting pistol goes off. But then that gets corrected and they’re all starting on the same line…

Feel free to use your own ideas, edit / amend / change it to suit whatever medium you’re working with.

eg - it could be shortened for on a flier

If anyone needs help to change the wording, I’m here.

Thanks,
Sean

Great pamflet, thank you! The blue/white logo is a perfect match for Finland’s meritocracy. Just the text will be translated. (Colors could be reversed, too) We were thinking about the star because it associates with the Pole Star that has a presence in the Finnish mind. And here it clearly is, ready for use.
… another thing is if there will be any use. I wrote to Volmar and asked if he’s still into meritocracy promoting. I have my life cleared out now and I noticed that I actually have time and energy for this, too. If I don’t hear anything from the other Finnish guy I’ll start something alone in a month or few. There are a few websites up now that were absent when I first joined this forum. Great source of inspiration and most likely a source of texts to be translated, too.

You’re welcome Klockars! If anything here is inspirational, that can only be good. Glad to hear a movement of 1 or 2 Meritocrats has started in Finland. From tiny acorns, however small, do oak trees grow … I like the Pole Star association, that’s an icon of spiritual potential & growth.

Let’s take the Meritocracy message to all corners of the globe!

Sean

PS Klockars - what is the translation of ‘Meritocracy Now’ in Finnish?

It was myself that made the white star on blue banner, though Diarmuid is the expert around here.

If you post that, or anything else you’d like have on a banner, I’ll have a go at making you a similar one, with & without the colours reversed. If you want something more polished, Diarmuid might help you out later, if he has enough time in his busy schedule.

Sean

Meritocracy Now translates into Meritokratia Nyt. We had “Meritokraattinen Puolue” in mind, tough. It’s Meritocracy Party. Nice to hear that someone is willing to help with the graphics :smile:

Hi Klockers - I came up with these -

As said, if you want something customised & polished, Diarmuid is your man, but these might get you going for now … :wink:

Sean

Thanks. The one with blue text “meritokraattinen puolue” without the English text would be perfect.

Okay - i’ve tried to make it work …

If that’s good I can give you a version with a transparent background.

If you need something better, I’ll talk to Diarmuid :wink:

Hi Sean, would you mind if I could borrow that blue flag? With just the addition of something suitably Australian (I’m thinking the Southern Cross constellation), it would be ideal for a pamphlet I intend to prepare along the lines of yours.

No problem Freddie, glad to help. Can you make it yourself, or do you need me to help edit it? Just say what you need, if so… :wink:

I think I can do it, but I’ll let you know if I need any help.

Yes! This is exactly what I had in mind :smile: Thank you again! Transparent version would be appreciated, too.
