  2. Project Vision

    Project Vision is a Humanity 2.0 effort specifically designed to provide the roadmap needed in order to accelerate human progress.

    Project Vision has three objectives.

    First, to formulate a common vision for humanity that communicates the kind of human civilization we should be striving to build. Second, to identify the most significant impediments to realizing this vision. Three, to triage them in order to provide a roadmap for action.

Participate in the Forum

Participants in the Humanity 2.0 Forum are mission-aligned stakeholders gathered to address particular impediments to human flourishing.

The Forum provides an opportunity for stakeholders to be presented with high potential solutions to particular human challenges and then an invitation to unite in a cross-sector effort to address them. Anyone may request to attend a Forum, but due to practical considerations, only a limited number are invited.
