If a Red Giant star could dream what it wanted its dust to become after it died, I can imagine a particularly ambitious one wanting to become the kind of world that Tom Atlee has envisioned here, and the kind of inspired, passionate, educated world-changers he imagines getting together to create that world. I hope a lot of people decide to get Great Story activism like this rolling so we prove to good ol' natural selection that we are homo sapiens (wise people) for real.
