How the World can be Improved.

by Rafael Barracuda

Overview

If we want to improve life on earth and our own lives, it is necessary to find a new guide: one that can meet the challenges of our time and of the future. The old guides were good in principle, but have become bogged down in calcified structures, often accomplishing the opposite of what was originally intended.
The development of society makes it necessary to find new guiding principles from time to time. To do so, however, we need to know what the history was, how the present society is structured, and how it is likely to develop.
The author aims to discover this by highlighting the following topics:

Information: truth and lies
Conspiracies: real and imagined conspiracies
Nodes and choices: in history and as individuals
Education
Religions
Cultures and subcultures
Good and evil
Resolving conflicts

Security
How a poor country can become rich.

Art
Creativity
The meaning of life
Peace
Reform of the United Nations
Health: Physical and mental
Advice on how to become happy

About the Author

The author was born in 1943, during the war, in a village in the eastern part of the Netherlands where his father was a pastor. As a child he fantasized about a cosmic system of colors and numbers. He attended art school for several years, but as a landscape painter, he had problems with the education where only still lifes were painted. In the 1960s, he made big hitchhike trips, practically without money, to Greece, Turkey, Morocco and in 1964 to Afghanistan, India, and Nepal. He had always been interested in different cultures, especially in terms of landscape, music, and lifestyles. He was also interested in politics, but there he made a wrong choice in the 1960s. Despite that, years later that choice was miraculously made good again. Partly because of that personal experience he considers making a good choice so important. Later in life he went to study psychology. His final paper was on ethnic culture and happiness. Then he worked for about 15 years as a researcher in happiness at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He has been an enthusiastic folk dancer until the corona era.
