Citizens of the world, wake-up!
My name is Jean Vincent, I was born in France in 1963 and lived in the countries of France, Morocco and the United States. I am not attached to any country in particular as I am first and foremost a human being and believe that we need to work together rather than against each other to make this earth a better place for all.
I believe that we need to find the ways to abolish frontiers even though I recognize it is difficult to do today for a number of reasons. The first of these reasons being our own fear of the differences that we naturally emphasize in strangers. Abolishing frontiers does not necessarily mean one uniform country, it means freedom of movement as outlined by Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I am agnostic in its broadest meaning as I can't figure out if god exists or not and, if s/he exists, what we should be doing if anything. However I strongly believe that all existing religions today are very far from the truth and were designed by humans to control (the largest number of) other humans. Religions have indeed been very effective at leveraging our natural fears. If god exists we need to seriously question who s/he is and what s/he may want us to do. I believe that humanity will spend most of the twenty-first century re-inventing development to make it sustainable. After this transition, the world will be able to continue its unstoppable march towards more understanding of ourselves and our environment. This blog is about science, sustainable development, health, nutrition, open-source, education, and changing the world in general hopefully to make it a better place :) Making the world a better place is not just desirable, it is possible with the help of everyone of us, citizens of the world by nature. It is up to everyone of us to do something about it, be it only to communicate our desire for a better world around us. After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to start this blog using posterous.com, which was recommended to me by my old friend Jean-Hugues Robert, mostly because of the ability to simply backup my posts through my email client sent items. My posts will be in English and in French. My public LinkedIn profile is at:http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanvincent I am always keen of making new connections with people who want to positively change the world for the better, so feel free to contact me if you share the same goal, and especially if you disagree with my ideas and the ways to get there. I hope you'll enjoy.
