1. Realizing the declaration of the world's resources as being the common heritage of all people.

3. Replacing money-based nationalistic economies with a resource-based world economy.
4. Assisting in stabilizing the world’s population through education and voluntary birth control.
5. Reclaiming and restoring the natural environment to the best of our ability.
6. Redesigning cities, transportation systems, agricultural industries, and industrial plants so that they are energy efficient, clean, and able to conveniently serve the needs of all people.
7. Gradually outgrowing corporate entities and governments, (local, national, or supra-national) as means of social management.
8. Sharing and applying new technologies for the benefit of all nations.
9. Developing and using clean renewable energy sources.
10. Manufacturing the highest quality products for the benefit of the world’s people.

12. Encouraging the widest range of creativity and incentive toward constructive endeavour.
13. Outgrowing nationalism, bigotry, and prejudice through education.
14. Eliminating elitism, technical or otherwise.
15. Arriving at methodologies by careful research rather than random opinions.
16. Enhancing communication in schools so that our language is relevant to the physical conditions of the world.
17. Providing not only the necessities of life, but also offering challenges that stimulate the mind while emphasizing individuality rather than uniformity.
18. Finally, preparing people intellectually and emotionally for the changes and challenges that lie ahead.
I do take issue with number 4. I can see a case for open, honest and frank sex education all across the World but....
I do take issue with the implication of number 5. Stopping the pollution and rape of mummy N coupled with cleaning up our shit would be sound. That particular aim sounds rather too much like the ideas involved in that map of the USA where most of it is left wild and people are herded into conurbations to me.
I have issues with number 6. As in my comments on circular cities.
I do take issue with number 15. Gut instincts are often the best way to go. Not that I am saying, no research.
I don't really get number 16.
