A New, Substack Newsletter, Community Think Tank | Problem Solving the Future
A Think Tank Dedicated To Imagining Your Own Great Reset
IRUUR1 has been encouraging readers to create their own great reset on all frequencies. We haven’t been successful in getting readers to comment though on their great reset vision here. We are of course shame faced by all of this, the lack of leadership quality in our presentations however Larry Durhalll, to the rescue.
An Open Invitation For Readers To Use Their Visualization And Creative Writing Skills To Solve The World's Problems
It appears that a lot of people are on Larry’s wavelength. For a relatively unknown Substack Newsletter, his concept has already elicited many comments and personal back-and-forth analysis with him and readers on the ideas expressed in the stories presented in the comment section so far.
Larry Druhall believes this is so important that he is attempting to create a story online database of sorts with ideas with common threads and most practically feasible, etc. A think tank dedicated to forming an outline useful in helping everyone create a short story on their own future.
So if you can’t lead, follow, or get out of the way, and we chose to follow. After all, when faced with an overwhelming force whose energies are in alignment with your intrinsic motive, you glom on with it and increase the capacity inherent in your mission. Larry is a go-to database for a lot of useful data and information and a great moderator. We commented back and forth on an article and he taught me the astrophysical standard for measuring distances in space.
So a simple short story assignment from the professor, as a first project for the group is a worthy intellectual challenge.
Story Outline
Here is his short story outline in the article.
SUGGESTED FIRST PART OF THE SHORT STORY (PLEASE IMPROVE IT)
It is at least a few years into the future. A mother is talking to her young child about the beautiful world they enjoy. The world is egalitarian, there are no concentrations of extreme wealth and power over others, there are no militaries, and all resources are dedicated to creating the most peaceful, healthy, harmonious, coherent planet for all humans (and all life). The child asks: “Mommy, was it always like this?” Mom answers: “No dear. At one time, a small group of selfish parasitic people gained too much power and almost destroyed the world, they almost turned it into a toxic planet where they enslaved everybody and all life. But in the nick of time some people figured out how to save the planet and work towards the best possible world we now enjoy.” The child asks: “How did they do that”.
This is Where We Come In - The Think Tank
This is where we as think tank participants develop our solutions. Here is the explanation from Larry Druhall.
NEXT PART OF THE STORY - UNWRITTEN (SO FAR)
Now the hard, important part. Please rewrite or finish the story. Share, discuss, constructively criticize, etc. Please keep in mind that you are also writing for the NSA and other security state readers (I recommend reviewing the link below before posting).

Sample Story Ending Outline
Explaining to a child how we created a better world into which the child in our story has been born, forces us to be simple and direct, without scaring the child, about the more disgusting elements of mankind, difficult for a child to understand. Here is the basic idea.
ADDENDUM POSTED JANUARY 27, 2023
Here is my best guess at how I would finish this story at this time. Please share this if you think it has merit. Please write your own versions, offer constructive criticisms, discuss, comment, etc. Thank you.
"Well, my dear, it was not easy. The cabal enemy of humanity had succeeded in taking control over almost every institution on the planet and had installed puppets to harm people. The cabal enemy succeeded in frightening people so they fought each other and harmed themselves due to the clever lies the cabal enemy told them. The cabal enemy had succeeded in planting its double agents in the controlled opposition, who tricked the people into doing things that were guaranteed to fail. The cabal enemy had succeeded in hypnotizing and brainwashing people to not seek the solutions that were needed. Some realized this and tried to get people to start thinking of innovative real solutions again. It was not easy. They discovered that no one solution worked, but, rather, the process of working together or alone to seek solutions was what was needed. There were many people all doing the HOW you ask about in their own ways. The cabal enemy could not handle all of the different solutions the people came up with and eventually lost the war. Then the people worked together to ensure that all life on the planet existed in a transparent, egalitarian way where nobody had power over others, and people continued to improve and refine the world we currently have. Power Over Others was not allowed anymore. With this system in place and improving, we got to the beautiful world we now enjoy."
Our IRUUR1, Short Story, by D.T.
The framework is a few years in the future. For this story say the child is between 5 and 7 years old. Here is our best guess for a rosy scenario. We will assume the child is any gender you choose to identify with. I will try to keep to the 3 or 4 paragraph format of other short stories already in the article comments. But I will probably blow it. But promise a very short chapter length
Uh Oh
Please excuse any punctuation or paragraph formational screw-ups. I have not done a lot of short story writing, other than attempting to create chapters from story ideas, So don’t kill me. I’m not working from a formal outline now. I just want to write it.
Larry and others can grade me on the correct short story form, after the class.
We begin our story with a slight alteration of Larry’s 2 opening paragraphs. entitled:
In a far better future
It is at least a few years into the future. A mother is talking to her young child about the beautiful world they enjoy. The world is an egalitarian meritocracy, governed under natural law and inherent rights of sovereignty through harmless service in life.
There are no concentrations of extreme wealth and power over others, there are no large powerful militaries in offensive positions with standing armies other than border security, and all resources are dedicated to creating the most peaceful, healthy, harmonious, coherent planet for all humans (and all life).
The child asks: “Mommy, was it always like this?”
Mom answers: “No dear. At one time, a small group of selfish parasitic people gained too much power and almost destroyed the world, they almost turned it into a toxic planet where they enslaved everybody and all life. But in the nick of time, some people figured out how to save the planet and work towards the best possible world we now enjoy.” The child asks: “How did they do that”.
“They had to learn to create wealth from the life they led, the mother replied, and not expect it to come from a promise of the future, based on debt, forced upon them by someone else. But a powerful lie had been created and enforced by cruel, sick, and troubled people who wanted to control everyone and everything.
“What’s debt? the child asked, a bit confused. “And how did it control everything?
Well dear, the most important thing for you to know, is that the whole world changed, on the night you were born.” And I will tell you how.”
“Now, what is debt? Well, debt is like when you do errands for the house and we give you a reward we promised. It’s a promise. We agreed to give you something for something you did, and when we fulfilled our promise we paid our debt. to you, you see.”
“So how could that control anything?”, the child fumbled out loud.
OK, you know how the money we use is based on what all the people who use it produce, right? Well, our money before now, was issued by force to us, by what was called central banks, and we had t agree to promise to pay all the money they gave us back to them plus even a little more called interest. Not only that, the money they gave us continued to become less and less valuable, and everything got more and more expensive. People were forced to trade the value of what they did, for obedience to the people giving us our money, in order to have enough things to live on.
But enough smart people to make a difference, figured out that it was only a matter of time before the whole system collapsed, and when it did, a lot of people would die, and the rest would have nothing left, but what the central bank system allowed them to have, and only by doing what they were told. It’s called slavery. So they spread the word, in any way that they could do it. Enough people caught on and began demanding the central banks stop printing money. Plus they began trading with each other without using central bank money.
And finally one night, without warning the banks, realizing they were finished, suddenly stopped printing debt money, and that was the night that you were born. And that my dear, was the first of many miracles”
We were fortunate. Your father and I saw this coming and got out of harm’s way here where we live now, and where you were born. But others were not so lucky because people had to learn suddenly how to live self reliably, to control their food, water, land, and resources, on their own, without the slave system to provide for them. There was a lot of chaos, especially in the cities where everything stopped working for a while because there was no legal money established before the banks were stopped, to pay people, to keep things running as they were.
But again, smart and active people with skills and daring got involved and began working without pay to replace the skills and the upkeep of equipment, pooling their resources, in exchange for shares in an overall community production plan. County sheriffs and officials who honored their oath to what we called the U.S. Constitution, helped to organize a new wealth-based economic system, to protect it and bring the criminals who had robbed the People before then, to justice. “
“Now, mother paused as she looked at the clock, I think it’s about time for bed”
But the child was wide awake and pleaded. “But wait mom, first tell me what happened when I was born, and what the people did, Pleeeees.”
Alright, mother continued, get into bed, If you promise to get to sleep right after I’m done, Ill tell you the rest, OK”
All right, I promise “the child replied while getting comfortably under the covers.
“So where were we then, mother continued. Alright. Let’s just say that the birth of our new life was painful at first because when the debt system ended, no one knew who had the authority or the money to do what. that had to be established, sometimes by force, and no one wanted to risk themselves unless they were protected. People began to fight each other over basic things like food and a place to live, and important parts of our life like our farms, power supplies, and factories. People were starving for a time. But wealth builders got involved and under the protection of the Constitution, began a policy of establishing true legal authority. Allowing the owners the overall control of their resources, and began to once again rebuild everything under a wealth system. A system of money based on individual production and capacity, valued against the growth and sustenance of individual and community wealth. A system where people gave what they thought a thing was worth and when they got it, they could do whatever they desired with it, as long as they did it without intentional harm. Even though people lost their lives during this time of change, we think far fewer lives were lost, than if we had been enslaved. Because they published plans called agendas, to eliminate almost everyone on earth.
So people who had farms and those who needed food learned to work together. The starving people got skills and food and a share in the production on the farm, shares in new land production to build a community wealth and value-based, economic system. People who knew how to run the water and electrical systems and factories took control and worked without official pay as there was no official money. Sometimes new people were trained. But they worked for the food and gifts of the grateful people to survive, and for shares in all future growth, in the wealth money system, that we have now. Even politicians, still loyal to natural law and their oath to the Constitution, worked without pay at first, then a basic allotment and for shares in the value of the system they were now administrating. Their shares and votes were based on their contribution to the sustainability and growth of our community’s wealth.
But as in every painful birth, there were a lot of miracles as well. People, especially at the beginning, had to re-establish core wealth-building values of love for each other, caring about each other, and being charitable. There were other miracles as well. Since there was no official money, there were no officials being paid to enforce our slavery. We were no longer told what to eat or put in our bodies, how to live, and what to like, in order to work and live at our capacity and desire. The equipment needed to sustain vast armies stood idle, as no one was paid to maintain them. Many of them have been repurposed and used for the things valued and needed by the People. We now had the ability to think for ourselves and reap the rewards of our labor.“
“And that’s how we got here. and that’s why you were born. And now my love, I think it’s time to get ready for bed, and I promise to tell you more, anytime you like. But you have to do your chores or no deal.”
“Promise”, the child replied expectantly.
“I promise too. It will be my debt.” Mom replied with a grin.
And they both laughed.

Here is his report today.
Thank you for the meaningful and inspirational story and kind words. Your story is quite complex. I do not think I really understand how one might strategically analyze and plan to optimize the focus of your story in ways that will contribute to its outcome.
Please note that I do not consider myself a leader or follower, I will never lead or follow in what remains. I am an equal partner who shares with other equal partners. I am doing my best to facilitate the Solution Seeking. Solution Seeking is at a stage where it can go in many different directions from here. My hope was always that writers better than me would improve upon what I tried and start their own. You may want to do something like that?
I also note that you have another page which analyzes the Ben Davidson extinction event. While I question some of what Ben does, I admire him, think he is probably mostly correct, and am grateful that he has brought this to the attention of so many.
For me, everything is a probability. I learned to think this way in my engineering simulation career. We ran models to predict the future. Usually at least three different options were run into the future. Then we ran at least three different cases for each option, usually best case, worth case, most likely case. We worked to avoid the worst case, work towards the best case, and devote most resources preparing for the most likely. The Solution Seeking experience has taught me several tings, and one is that most people do not model the future like I do. Many do not think of solutions like I do. I think of a broad range of solutions and am thankful when I discover a new one. Many people have one solution they prefer or have developed, and they often do not discuss the different solutions critically, rather, many defend their solution of choice while not considering other solutions, looking at the pros and cons of all of them.
One thing which Solution Seeking gifted me with was personal email contact with many great people. They share a wide range of articles with me. I decided to just start putting them into the Web Links Of Interest posts, and now that has become a full time job. It is not a job I particularly like. For now, I will continue because I think it is important. I am hoping my partners can discover a way of sharing the loads.
At this time I am preparing to try to move from my urban home to the mountains. Because I am old and alone with no dependents, I am not overly concerned about the coming events as discussed by Davidson. If I can get settled on my mountain acreage I may invite others if I can figure out the logistics.
Since the new year, I have put 60+ hours per week into Solution Seeking. If I am to manifest the acreage, that will have to drop significantly. I am not giving up, but reallocating resources. I do not want a career as a writer. Never being comfortable with doing it, I did it because it was a moral imperative. I am not giving up, but I need to give attention to many things that have been neglected.
Thanks for reading this, and for your story.
