  1. Increasing access to education: Education is a powerful tool for promoting equality and opportunity, and improving access to education can help empower individuals and communities to reach their full potential.
  2. Addressing inequality: Inequality can take many forms, from economic inequality to social inequality based on race, gender, or other factors. Addressing these inequalities can help create a more just and equitable society.
  3. Protecting the environment: Protecting the environment is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of our planet and the well-being of future generations. This can involve reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy sources, and protecting natural habitats and biodiversity.
  4. Promoting peace and justice: Promoting peace and justice can help reduce conflict and promote stability and prosperity. This can involve supporting human rights, promoting conflict resolution and diplomacy, and working to address issues such as poverty, hunger, and disease.
  5. Encouraging empathy and compassion: Encouraging empathy and compassion can help create a more caring and supportive society. This can involve promoting kindness, respect, and understanding towards others, and working to foster a sense of community and shared responsibility.
Ultimately, making the world a better place will require the collective efforts of individuals, organizations, and governments around the world. By working together and taking action on these and other important issues, we can help create a brighter and more equitable future for everyone."


What do you think of this? Do you agree? Are these the kind of suggestions you would have made had you been asked the same question?

What do you think about the political bias of the person who wrote that? Does it match your political bias or is it different?

I might have formulated different but as general goals, I can stand behind all of them.

Yep.
(I had to look for the bias, so, it is exactly the kind of bias one has and can't see it. I'd say that the person is progressive and only progressives can ever achieve something better. Things have to change to get better. You can't get better with just having the same.)

It's good if it isn't forced on people to conform to an ideology however good or bad it sounds.

The world won't be a better place if force is employed as a control, which it makes the perfect recipe for a dystopia that mimics a better world, rather than actually being a better world.

To realize that we’re not here that long. Look at Putin. He’s concerned about ‘losing’ his country way way down the road. Sad sad story.

In practice it is to achieve that we don't conflate true as only one version as the truth. The world is complex and the more different ways of thinking you can use, the better. Of course that better is only subjectively true in the end.

The removal of religious education in schools as the norm in so many countries (until the pupils were old enough to question such - so probably 16 or so), other than of anything which did teach all about the varieties of religious belief - what they believed and as to their benefits and deficits - and as to why any such attachment to one belief might involve some sacrifices - such as dividing one from others.

And factual.
The world developed a biosphere and percolated along fine, for billions of years, with a handful of interruptions. With the recent advent of a highly virulent ape, however, a geodemic ensued, which threatens a sixth mass extinction event.
Standard treatment for disease is the elimination of the pathogen.

Better place for who? Us, other species, earth itself?

For us those you listed would be a start.

For other species, earth itself.... For us humans to be gone.

God has other plans to be sure. We won’t witness a mass extinction event thankfully.

Yep. The other five weren't caused by a species either.

This religious attitude, that we can do what we will because our Heavenly Father won't let any harm befall us, is pernicious.
Never said have a free for all. Just pointing out a blessing where things might look bleak.

I generally like the OP list. I'm more an evolutionary than a revolutionary (just how I'm wired) and concepts of social mobility have always seemed key to a free and fair society to me. So I'd view 1 and 2 in those lights.

I would say that 2 is pretty interpretive. We can agree on the goal and not the methods, most definitely. And my skew on 2 would be more around things like access to healthcare than a more DEI view of the world.
