IDEALISM: A QUICK SUMMARY

A common question I've received over time is the need for a real summary of my book. What does it contain? What is Idealism? And, of course, the hidden question: why should we spend our money and buy it. To put it simply, The Dragon Needs Wings is a manifesto of ideas and ideals. It is an effort to think outside of the box we have accidentally locked ourselves in. Not only does it suggest a new set of ideals for the future, it also teaches the reader how you can come to your own conclusions, free from the overbearing influences of society. This book strives to build a society which grows beyond democracy, capitalism and equality.

Perhaps the last sentence piqued your interest: what society can grow beyond even equality? Or you labelled me a misogynist (hopefully it was not this reaction). Yes, this book discusses a new system of global order based on 3 main components: The Idealist Mindset, The Unisist Economy, and the Webocratic System. Now, holding true to the name of this philosophy, two of these three elements are rather - well - idealistic. So let's start with the most practical component, which I like to call the 'For You' part of my book.

For You: The Idealist Mindset

The Idealist Mindset consists of 6 main portions - The Idealist Hypothesis, The Art Connoisseur Mentality, Purposeless Meaning, Circumstantial Free Will, Irreligion, and Normalising 'Why'. So what does that mean? In general, the Idealist Mindset is based on clear and connected thinking and the social truth: to enact change, we must strive to reach what is perceived unreachable. Without such a drive, there is no Idealism. But there's an issue: we'll always wonder whether what we're doing is worth it. How do we figure that out? Using the techniques mentioned throughout my book.

For All: The Idealist Socio-Economic System

The Idealist socio-economic system consists of two major parts - Unisism and Webocracy. However, society needs to be positioned in a particular fashion to implement these systems. For that, I have also included components to deal with the primary problems which arrive from this system: Anti-Xenophobia, Parsamanity, Technological Death, and Superhumanity. Once again, none of these terms mean much to you right now. However, this socio-economic system is based on an alternative to the dictatorship of economic classes (which is natural in our political system), which works with a new political administration system based on selectively equal governance provided via the Internet (by subject) by every single person. This probably has left many questions in your mind. For instance, how would such a government or economy even work? What is selective equality? How would we even work in such a system? Now, I wish I could tell you more, but that would ruin the fun of reading the book yourself.

Predicting The Future

If you haven't already raised your eyebrows, here's a chance. To understand the effects and problems of prime importance in our future (and thus formulate a system to fight them), I tried to create a more scientific method of predicting the future using my own theories, chaos theory, and causal inference. Then, I placed into this model information on important factors to deal with in the future (accounting for some uncertainty due to what I call temporal entropy, which can be estimated). The resulting causal diagram I got remains plastered in red ink on my humungous whiteboard to this day. Using the information I understood a trail for the future which circumvented various problems I saw in the approaches of Yuval Harari and others. So, how does the future look without idealism? Read my book to find out (it's not apocalyptic, if you had that question).

Conclusion

What makes my book different from your average book on politics and philosophy, is the title. 'The Dragon Needs Wings'. I've often been asked what my book's title means (obviously this is before the one who asks the question reads my book). The answer is hidden in a story spanning 12 parts throughout the book, where a small young dragon goes on a quest to vanquish rampaging giants. The story is a metaphor for idealism: hence the name. I hope that you like the book and decide to implement idealism in your daily and not-so-daily lives. If you would like to buy the book, I have attached a link as well. Why wait? It's time to go out there and save the world.
