Afterthoughts about Meeting 23 Mar 09
Whatever MG does, there should be a link to 'a million'!
What could be guidelines for a prize?
- Should not have monetary vallue
- Should be attrative for everybody
- Should be selflessness
- Et cetera
Before giving more thoughts about the prize itself, these boundaries should be set.
What should the foundation do?
- Share
- Stimulate (competition, combining, connecting) (3C's)
- ... (3 S's)
Sharing and stimulating can be done by organising/realising (out of the million things being organised by MG) scenarios/games/communities/prizes/etc.

Contiuation
Civilisation continues, so what aspects are needed that create happiness?
Which parts of civilisation did not change and are not likely to change? Energy, for example, could be considered a given (was never a problem, will never be a problem). But what is not given? How does that shape civilisation and the happiness of people living in this civilisation?
Extrapolation vs Jumping
The big catch of MG is not to extrapolate, but to jump. This is what makes it all the different from existing innitiatives that predict and try to save the world. Filling in the boundaries of the jump is what could be considered the/a major task of MG.
