This essay was a finalist in the How We Saved the World essay contest, where people wrote as if it was 2050 when the world was working, saying how we got there starting with something they did. Here's the intro to this presentation of results, with links to the other finalists and an invitation to make comments about the contest.



Spreading goodness with business

By Amit Gambhir

Yes, we did it! Proved that we are superior and most adaptable species on this planet; but this time by embracing and not by endangering other lives. We always had the right tools but they were at wrong setting. Year 2024 was when a handful of us came together and formed a strong fist.
First finger HONESTY: We realised ‘filters’ work better when applied on mind rather than photographs. [referring to Socrates 3 question filter here “Am I sure that what I am going to say is true?”, “Is what I’m going to say a good thing?”, and “Do I really need to say it and is it useful?”]. We accepted that image building was important than image editing, and started applying filter technique. Most of the frivolous talks stopped, conversations started getting meaningful. People started sounding profound. The WAR problem was solved, and unanimously agreed that the greedy rich shall no longer to be served.
Second finger HARMONY (symbiosis): We were struggling for food, our species were fragile, hungry and highly dependent on other species, only this time for regeneration and not for consumption. The manmade biodiversity loss, disappearance of species powered by greedy ones was affecting every one of us. The only smart way tackling that was to turn to the voiceless animals. We accepted the fact, “our world is theirs too”. Thanks to ‘image building’ we all started extending compassion to all species instead of restricting it to the selective.
Third finger RIGHTS: The greedy became needy. The rich ones until then, proudly shoved their middle finger on those who were talking about peace. Non-cooperation movement from working class made riches realise and say instead “help us please, we shall give you the right!” The oppressed now politely said, “since you are only a few up there talking from the dark sky – why don’t you come down instead, and we start off again tonight!”. Our influencers learnt to bow down, asked the oppressed ones for forgiveness. Thus entire humanity agreed on humility.
Fourth finger ecology: We were successful at starting the healing machine once the killing machine had stopped. We started eating plants, and planting trees. Restored balance, maintained health of our people and the planet. Mother nature started taking over, but she was injured and couldn’t do it alone, she needed our help.
Fifth finger economy: We used human power to demolish this infrastructure, employed people to restore nature, deployed them onsite to build wildlife sanctuaries and pay people to take care of voiceless instead of paying them to slaughter. We realised our economy can still grow and generate jobs to restore nature.

In 2024 we underwent a behaviour change and transformed ourselves!

In the year 2024, a turning tide began, 🌊
A few united souls formed a powerful clan. 💪🏼

Honesty stood tall,
Socrates’ filter applied, truth for all.

Frivolous talks ceased, conversations turned sweet. ✌🏼
Climate to be healed, everyone repeats.

Image building worked, empathy grew,
Compassion extended to all, not just a few. 🦧🐄🐏🐖🐓🐛🦊🐊🐇🐀

Profound voices echoed, war was no more, 🕊
The greedy rich agreed, their reign was o’er. 🧎🏻‍♂️

Cooperation replaced oppression’s might,
Forgiveness sought, humility in the light. 👐🏼

Oppressed voices echoed, “come down from your height,
Let’s start anew, restore what’s right.” ✊🏽

Biodiversity loss, a manmade plight, 🐝
We turned to voiceless creatures, sharing their plight. 🐄

Balance being restored, and health regained,
Mother Nature was healing, but help she retained. 🌳

Consumerists transformed, conservationists stood,
Extravagance replaced by a minimalist mood. 🧘🏻

Stress gave way to sweet relief, 😇
Laziness defeated by an active belief. 🏃🏻‍🏃🏻‍♀️

Human power dismantled the old, 🏗
Restoring nature, a story retold. 🌱
Confusion subsided, confidence grew, 🧗🏽‍♂️
Deficiency turned to sufficiency, a breakthrough.

A tale of change, a journey’s success, 👣
For we are the architects, in goodness we express.

Jobs for restoration, growth with green, ♻️
A thriving economy, a planet serene. ☘️

Every region has same religion, ⛩
humanity restored peace it feels divine.

Abundance of fruits here 🍓, now available in a punnet, 🧺
we no longer aim to visit any other rocky planet. 🌑

Now in 2050, a transformed sphere, 🌏
Goodness in business, a mantra to adhere. 🤝

Here we are in 2050! Now, all we got to do is spread “goodness with our business”.

Crop Circles could shift our worldview and got me to be a filmmaker. What on Earth? got a good review in The New York Times.
Before I made What on Earth?, I was the Executive Producer of CROP CIRCLES: Quest for Truth. It streams free here.
