Across towns, states and the nation millions of young and old protest, petition and look to you to solve and remedy the problems that are relentlessly pushing societies and the natural world toward collapse and extinction. It must be painful to know that there are no instruments in the political toolbox that could effectively solve the problems. The old tools don't work. There is an urgent need for an Awareness Revolution and invent new tools that can solve the problems of 21st century's hyper complexity that combines societal and environmental challenges.

Join the Holigent Commons. Your donation will be the seed from which a new order of social, economic and environmental justice, quality and systemic sustainability will grow.

The United States needs to make a historic decision similar to the one that aided Europe in winning World War II and helped reconstruct much of the Continent. This decision is to plant the seed and nurture Transformative Societal Reconstruction —  developing social, economic and environmental justice, quality and sustainability. This will require heroic efforts and the outlay of treasure, but no blood.


The first phase of that effort is for Congress and the President of the United States to establish the Department of Homeland Reconstruction. This is to secure funding of experimental societal retrofit and reconstruction programs (one community at a time) to search and find ways to comply with nature’s building and sustainability code.


All in a long-range program to reduce socio-economic stress around the world while building universal quality of life, global peace and systemic sustainability — securing life and wellbeing for people, our planet and for the natural world. The book, Awareness Revolution is your action guide. 

                                                                                                  

Dear United Nations Official


Have you noticed a peculiar thing lately? As you all meet in big rooms for the yearly Climate Conference to eat, drink and talk and talk about reducing carbon emission, or "blah, blah, blah" as Greta Thunberg put it (forgive her honesty, she is just a child). The peculiar thing is that each year the scientific reports on global warming and the evening news about catastrophic climate events get worse and worse.


I suspect that you are not proud of yourself seeing on your watch "The collapse of civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world on the horizon" (Sir David Attenborough), approaching faster than we could comfortably contemplate. Please take a look at the illustration of our bridge to the future and see where and how you could help retrofit our falling down bridge? Reading the book Awareness Revolution could help you participate in building a better bridge to our peaceful and sustainable future.

Dear European Union Official


Ever wondered why the Brits exited and why the unhappy rumbling across EU? Here is a hint: EU is made of countries large and small, with long and varied history, culture and temperament. It is understandable why the concept of United States is not replicable — EU's one size political economy does not fit all.


The behavior of wealth and capital not been fully understood until recently: why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? This provided unpleasant surprises along history by occasionally bringing out the pitchforks, guillotines, and the Bolsheviks in bloody upheavals. Thomas Piketty answered that complex question with his deceptively simple formula r > g (the return on capital is greater than economic growth) in his book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century. You can think of this as the DNA of wealth, codifying the behavior of capital that will perpetually migrate vertically from the "99%" to the "1%" and horizontally from one nation or region to another.


On the European Continent, the North attracts wealth at the expense of other parts. On the borderless continent human resource follows the money and that is the root of "Brain Drain" for East and Central Europe. This is, and will be painfully felt and resented for generations leading to further disintegration of EU with probable catastrophic consequences. You too can save the world by saving Europe. Awareness Revolution is your action guide.

Mr. Secretary of Defense,  

Please start a global 'Peace Offensive' to avoid a nuclear world war


Our proposed Peace Offensive may provide the starting point for productive conversations about establishing a small department within the Pentagon dedicated to initiating and promoting a Peace Offensive in the spirit of the Holigent Peace and Sustainability Initiative. With its vast resources and global footprint, the Pentagon is perhaps the only institution in the world that, with the right spirit, could turn the course of global events away from a probable mutually assured destruction toward world peace and systemic sustainability. 

                                                                           

Dear Educator,


You are devoting your life teaching young people to learn, pass exams and become consumers in our system of techno-industrial, extractive capitalist-consumerist military-industrial complex.


The downside of such civilization is that even if conflicts do not escalate to (MAD) Mutually Assured Destruction, it is not sustainable and will predictably deplete Earth's life-support capacity, leading to "Collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world" — Sir David Attenborough.


Won't you please participate in the Awareness Revolution to reorder your devotion and open an experimental class teaching young people to follow the instruction of Socrates and examine life because the "Unexamined life is not worth living".  Introduce the teaching of Albert Einstein suggesting to develop a new mindset, because "A problem cannot be solved with the same mindset that created it". Teach young people to comply with nature's building and sustainability code as they are constructing a better bridge to their peaceful and sustainable future.

   Feverish global stress is the result of extractive capitalist-consumerist overload of eight billion humans on Earth. We are in a race against time to avoid collapse and extinctions. Most institutions in this race are still at the starting gate. But there is hope! Yoga is way ahead. 300 million people are practicing yoga around the world improving their physical and mental wellbeing while reducing stress and elevating quality of life one individual at a time. This is what the world needs now!

    Politicians can't help, because building a peaceful and sustainable world is beyond their skillsets. Our world is made of billions of people. You and I can heal the world one individual at a time; if we don't do it, no one will. You can start with yourself. Then share the "medicine" with family, friends, neighbors, coworkers and strangers.

Instructive Q & A for

Los Angeles to Heal Itself and

Save the World

(A street act)



Q&A for LA.pdf



Dear Billionaire

Your bridge to the future is falling down too.

It's the same bridge!

Will you partner with young people or with Holigent.Org to build a

better bridge to our peaceful and sustainable future? 

Allow me to introduce myself   I was born into the Great Depression, survived the Nazi hunt for my life and the bombs of World War II in Budapest. Grew up in mindless and murderous Soviet occupation and escaped communist Hungary across the partially dismantled Iron Curtain in 1956. My heroic Mother took the arduous journey with me to the Austrian border to see me off to the West. At our parting, I promised her to be careful not to step on a landmine.


In much of my growing up, I was hiding, running, escaping often only a step ahead of death. It took years and thousands of miles for the early images and the questions to catch up with me during a late evening walk on the Westside of Los Angeles. My eight-year-old self emerging from the bomb shelter, near the end of the War in 1945, asking: Why would grownups destroy beautiful Budapest and kill innocent people? I am devoting much of my life answering that question.

I lost my father to illness when I was four years old, but got to know him well through the book manuscript He left behind. He was devoted to the cause of a peaceful Europe during the 1930s when the continent was drifting toward Nazism and World War II.


I treasure his memory, his spirit is my guiding star. Nearly fifty years and five books after that evening walk in Los Angeles, I am getting serious about saving the world. No, I am not planing to do it alone. On this site and in my fifth book Awareness Revolution you can find your action part in building a better bridge to a peaceful and sustainable future before the window of opportunity closes forever. The idea springs out of the question of why our frontal brain can build amazingly smart things, yet we use our 'reptilian brain' to build and organize human societies that often turn to conflict and war that in the 21st century may lead to nuclear Armageddon.


The challenge is to understand that our 'reptilian brain' is a product of the dangerous world of the evolutionary jungle where survival depended on split second reflexive decisions to fight or flee — there was no time for thinking. This evolutionary legacy is deeply embedded in our neuroendocrene system; it cannot be surgically corrected or removed. Our only option is to secure food, shelter, engagement and supportive community for people. In other words, secure universal quality of life for most or all of humanity to keep global socioeconomic stress dormant.


Awareness Revolution can help and when we use our frontal brain to build a new socioeconomic arrangement (one community at a time); building a future of universal quality of life, global peace, and systemic sustainability become surprisingly doable. The initial transfer of capital from the capitalist system to the Holigent commons may be a challenge. Billionaires, governments, and all awareness revolutionaries can solve that problem by funding the construction of the initial nature-compliant 'Holigent' community. It is to demonstrate a hybrid socioeconomic arrangement that secures quality of life for its residents. At some point nature-compliant 'Holigent' communities will be self-replicating and the process will spread across America, Europe and beyond. Conflict, war, poverty, hunger and homelessness will become history.


   

  

Reengineer the way we build our societies


Our human story begins in the critter eat critter evolutionary jungle millions of years ago. In that dangerous world life or death decision had to be made reflexively, in split seconds, there was no time for thinking. We are stuck with this primitive stress arousal legacy from earlier time of our evolution. Still today rising stress turns on aggression and turns off rational thought process. Let me illustrate just how dangerous that is.


Back in the Great Depression of the 1930s global socioeconomic stress was high. Remember, high stress turns on aggression and turns off rational thought process. Masses of angry people couldn’t tell true from false; they turned to a charismatic leader to tell them what to believe and what to do. Such a leader promised the angry German people “Deuchland Über Alles” (Germany above all). When the fascist leader couldn’t deliver the promise he gave the angry people a big fight they didn’t know they didn’t want — that was World War II. Could history repeat itself in 21st century MAGA America?


Besides bad behavior, high stress is a factor in illness ranging from the common cold to heart disease and cancer. It is also a factor in bad mood from anxiety to depression and suicide. As you can see, high stress is ruining lives, families, societies and can lead to nuclear war that may end it all. I hope I captured your attention, because the mindful and dedicated work to build a better bridge to our future starts here.


Our neuroendocrine stress arousal is part of the primitive legacy of our early evolution. It is deeply embedded in our body and brain and cannot be surgically removed. We have no other option, but to secure quality of life for most or all humanity to keep global stress dormant. Seems impossible?

Not so, easier than building a small flat electronic machine that you pull out of your pocket and talk to someone hundreds of miles away.


If we use the same frontal brain that built the smartphone to reconstruct society and retrofit our bridge to the future, instead of the primitive part of our brain (leftover from the evolutionary jungle), we could complete that reconstruction to social, economic and environmental justice; quality of life; and peaceful systemic sustainability in your lifetime. You don't believe it? Try it! You have nothing to lose, everything to gain. This will take 9 big steps.


Let's get serious about the Awareness Revolution! 

Step 1

Apply your social media skills to spread the message: We are Building a Better Bridge to our future. Invite all to this website  www.holigent.org  to learn about the Awareness Revolution.


Step 2

Form discussion groups and meet weekly at the same place and time so that your members can make it a routine. Discuss ideas of how you will broaden awareness horizons to embrace the many parts involved in building a better bridge to our future of quality of life in peaceful systemic sustainability.


    Optional subjects of discussions:

    a) Choosing the right tool. In the 20th century, politics turned to extreme right that led to fascism

and World War 2; and then turned to extreme left that led to communism.

A pipe wrench, also known as "monkey wrench" can turn right and

turn left but can't fix your smart phone for about the same reason why the

political (left/right) monkey wrench can't fix your bridge to the future: It's the

wrong tool!  The right tool to fix your bridge is forming your student organization

and do the discussions that in time goes public through Instructive Demonstrations.


    b) Reduce stress and elevate quality of life as you discuss and become

mindful of the 4 “happiness” hormones in your brain and body: Dopamine:  Known as the “feel-good” hormone. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a part of your brain’s reward system, associated with pleasurable sensations. Serotonin: A hormone and neurotransmitter helping regulate your mood as well as your sleep, appetite, digestion, learning ability, and memory. OxytocinSometimes called the "love hormone" ; it is essential for child birth, breastfeeding, and strong parent-child bounding. It can promote trust, empathy, and bounding in relationships. Physical affection can increase levels. Endorphins: They are your body's natural pain reliever. Levels may increase when you are engaged in reward producing activities such as eating, working out, having sex, laugh, eat dark chocolate.


    c)  Holigent Yoga combines yoga, meditation, stress reduction, mindfulness; it improves your inner                       

quality of life.        Holigent Yoga to Heal the World    one individual at a time. Practice part or all of it

any time any place.


Step 3

Organize Instructive Demonstrations in public places. Protests don’t work because building a peaceful and sustainable future is beyond the skillsets of politicians and institutions. Carry the book AWARENESS REVOLUTION or the QR code to this website visibly in your hand.


Step 4

Journalists and the media will report about your Awareness Revolution of Building a Better Bridge to our Future. (It is their bridge to the future too, and they do need a new story every day.)


Step 5

Millionaires and Billionaires are super curious people. Their awareness will intensify about the need to invest in building a better bridge to their peaceful and sustainable future here on Earth; so they won't have to escape to Mars or their remote island on the Pacific when big trouble comes. Their donations may in time arrive.


Step 6

Form your nonprofit organization that can accept tax-exempt grants and donations. Engage in vigorous fundraising and grant writing.


Step 7

When money arrives, your organization can purchase suitable real estate in a part of your city with public transportation.


Step 8

Start up your Holigent (holistic-emergent) nature-compliant quality of life community.

Instructions are in the book:

                                                                                                  

Step 9

Politicians will take notice when they hear and read about your Awareness Revolution to build a better bridge to our future and will begin to listen to you. They will learn about building Holigent (holistic-emergent) nature-compliant communities to demonstrate the hybrid socioeconomic arrangement that secures quality of life for its residents. In this light, with your encouragement, they will be inclined to establish a Department of Homeland Reconstruction (DHR) to fund the continuous development of nature-compliant communities across America and beyond. All in the interest of building the infrastructure for a future of universal quality of life, global peace and systemic sustainability.


Consider that Congress established the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in response to the 9/11/2001 terror attack on the United States. For example, the 2023 budget of the DHS was $82 billion. The Department of Defense (DOD) budget for 2023 was over $800 billion.


Assuming a new Department of Homeland Reconstruction receives the equivalent of 1% of the DOD budget, it would amount to $8 billion per year; that could buy on average about 4,000 homes that would secure housing and quality of life for about 20,000 people yearly.


If billionaires and politicians do their part in providing the initial funding for Holigent Transformative Societal Reconstruction the process will continue to grow by self-generated funds in the U.S. and in time expand to Europe and beyond. The program would end homelessness while building a peaceful and sustainable future.

A Proposal for

Los Angeles to Heal Itself and Save the World


Los Angeles is a resourceful and fertile ground in which to plant the seed of a new hybrid socioeconomic organizing system that opens a hopeful possibility for building a future of social, economic, and environmental justice; quality of life; and peaceful systemic sustainability. When successful, the seeds of this societal renewal experiment will spread and

mature around the world.

Why is

our bridge

to the future falling

down?

What's on the other side of the better bridge?

A Holigent Village

What's a Holigent Village?

It is a community built in compliance with nature's building and sustainability code; which is an organizing system that evolution perfected over billions of years creating complex living organism from simple beginning.


A Holigent Village is all pedestrian living, learning and working community with a hybrid socioeconomic arrangement that secures food, shelter, work, community and all the essentials to provide peaceful and sustainable quality of life.

Let's get to work

    on the Holigent Project

      Building step by step a

     wise, peaceful and

     sustainable world

Here are a few points to consider:


1.  If you are an educator, introduce to your students the subject of 'Building a Better Bridge to Our Peaceful and Sustainable Future'. (Or in plain language, Saving the World from Collapse and Extinction). You may qualify for $5,000 to $10,000/month grant.


2.  Retrofit capitalism. An essential part of rational reconstruction of society to build a functional, peacefully sustainable civilization is to expand awareness to understand that capitalism is a toxic aspect of society that compels wealth to migrate from the ‘99%’ to the ‘1%’. (See also, r > g in the book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty). That results in the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. From time to time this brings out the pitchforks, guillotines and the Bolsheviks in bloody upheavals. Transition to peaceful systemic sustainability therefore must begin with (voluntary) transfer of wealth from the capitalist system to nature-compliant Holigent commons.


3.  The first million dollars will buy one home (the first Holigent house); $5 mil will buy an apartment building along the Expo line near USC in Los Angeles. These will be the seeds of the Holigent campus/community that in time will grow to become the first Holigent Village. 


4.  The first Holigent Village will be a living demonstration of nature-compliant all pedestrian community with hybrid socioeconomic arrangement that secures quality of life and peaceful systemic sustainability for all its residents. 


5.  Continued development will produce the Holigent Global Village, a permanent world exhibition of nature-compliant systemic sustainability. Students will be invited from all over the world to live and learn the art and science of Holigent cellular societal reconstruction and plant the seeds around the world that will in time develop universal quality of life, global peace and systemic sustainability; so that humanity may  survive and thrive on Earth — the only warm, wet and green habitable home we have in the universe.

Why are humans so

unwise that we make

damage and deplete

Earth's life-support

capacity?

Remember this! High STRESS turns on aggression

and turns off reason (rational thought process)


Understand this!  In the dangerous world of the evolutionary jungle survival depended on reflexive split second decisions to fight or flee without thought process (no time for thinking). Our primitive stress arousal legacy still turns on aggression and turns off rational thought process at high stress — a dangerous combination in the 21st century. This will predictably lead to more wars and with high probability to nuclear apocalypse. 

We can change course, not simple but doable.

Fascism and World War II was part of life as A. Nicholas Frank, the founder and CEO of Holigent.Org, was growing up in Budapest, Hungary. It is the MISSION of Holigent working to prevent history repeat itself — building a peaceful and sustainable future. 

Where to begin?


We envision experimental start-up plans for two projects:


  1. a)The Los Angeles Project along the Expo Line near USC.

     We will begin working on this project the day after funds arrive.


  1. b)The Budapest Project, in one of the southern district of the city.

     We encourage Hungarian activists to organize, building a better bridge to the future 

     of Europe. Apply for funding from EU; emphasizing the critical need for societal 

     reconstruction to save the continent from discord, war and disintegration.
