I’ve been saying for several months that I would post what I’m working on, on my website, so I will try and do some of that here...
There are millions and millions and millions of different websites on the internet, but if you are curious about what I’m thinking, you can read this here on my website:
However, please note that I am specifically Not encouraging political development %s, because it sometimes makes governments angry.
So in my writing, I am specifically Not encouraging political development %s, so
that all people who read here are only reading non-political, core development from here.
And to please note that I am specifically Not encouraging for all 8 billion to do development solutions for 8-12 hours per week (although it would make everyone a lot smarter or more advanced with development and increase abilities across a large variety of areas)- I’m specifically Not encouraging that because of the goal of getting more advanced with preventing -10s to -4s. So I’m specifically Not encouraging that below.
I’m just sharing what I think are the best solutions available, and please make sure to think through each solution carefully for your local context before applying.
And to please note that each person is as unique as the grains of sand on a beach, and that each culture, including cultures of 2 people or more, are not only as unique as the grains of sand on a beach, but are also constantly changing, because of the 8 billion people constantly mixing and completely new things being constantly created.
So each solution needs to be really, really, really thought about in terms of the really specific and unique local factors. There are no ‘one size fits all’…
Everything needs to be the most advanced international development each person knows about so far applied to the extremely unique local features.
Although, 80% of development needs to be from local people’s momentum and knowledge, and 20% from foreigners trying to solve what appeared to be impossible international development challenges before.
There are several hundred millions and millions and millions of social media sites and different websites on the internet, but I have been working on international development percentages for 10+ years & these are my thoughts on the hundreds of thousands of different development goals.
I have also been accumulating information about wider international development since I first became strongly interested in wider international development 20 years ago (and the environment 25 years ago),
So if you would like to read what I am thinking, you can read this here on my website:
I’ve been saying for several months that I would post what I’m working on, on my website, so I will try and do that here...
Climate Change
The 1 to 7 solution % attempts for climate change (i.e. any number between these).
There are so many different climate change areas. And there are large needs for >before 2025. So what are 5 to 7 %s of solutions I can do, of at least 0.0001% and up to 100% of climate solutions?
The solutions are so many and so complicated- 100 in Drawdown and 700 in 6 Sector Solution. How simplify them to make as easy as achievable?
So from the 800 climate things, to be aware:

Hopefully people know that 37% Of The World are For Profit, Subsistence and Other Kinds of Small Scale Farmers
It would be good if there was more awareness around this…
So with climate change increasing, how help them adapt to climate change when things like floods and four year droughts happen?
So, if four-year droughts, floods, locusts or anything else happens, how solve it for months, decades and years afterwards?
And how help them prepare for this before it happens?
It would be % by % by % by %, probably needing a years and decades of percentages.
One thing I want to share is this:
If one-third of the world is small-scale farmers, %s to increase their abilities to adapt to climate problems before, during & after drought/extreme heat affect their crops (e.g. other job skills).
When there are large 4 year droughts, floods, locusts, or other things, farmers would travel to other locations searching for work… They would travel within their country looking for other work, and would travel outside of the country looking for work.
If people made their country to be considered safe enough and 150% of people always knew what they individually needed to get backup work visas (e.g. documentation that they would store really safely, e.g. in hurricane-proof, earthquake-proof, flood-proof storage centres), then they could get work visas to countries that need help with workers…
There could potentially be an international scheme that brings in workers from overseas, and it could rotate around each year for countries that have floods/droughts/locusts, etc.
And it could rotate for safe regions that currently have droughts/floods.
If there is a flood, drought or locusts, workers would also need backup working skills because they’re 37% of the world. But what about the people who can’t get international work visas?
You would need to get the people who could work overseas to work overseas first, so there are less people within the country competing for the current jobs.
And countries would need to have methods to create additional jobs for farmers who are not able to farm because of the drought.
In fact, if the world found ways to create jobs that are really specifically allocated to parts of the world where there have been floods, droughts, locusts and people really need help
This might take 200 years to solve though… unless people solve it and communicate it earlier…
The above would need to be combined with:
Solving ways that local farmers can adapt when floods, droughts or heat happen (e.g. the best internet, training, info available, creating climate change resilient, extreme heat resilient, flood resilient, drought resilient crops somehow). I need to watch Interstellar again
Solving how to maintain the food supply size long-term, when there is increasing climate instability in food supply chains e.g. climate, droughts, most ecosystems depend on insects, solving ways the world can adapt when future droughts, floods or heat happen and agricultural practices that create food security for 200-2000 years (e.g. how to profitably farm on the same land long-term through land care)
It shows why learning languages safely, internet, social media are so important in unsafer countries… people can use the above to >safely make their country safer to achieve the economic safety bonuses
Or in other words, the above needs the country to be safe enough to get those work visas…
So if 150% of people learned to speak, understand and potentially read and write one common language as a trade language, and everyone had cheap enough internet, so that everyone within a country could safely persuade everyone to stay within ethically +5 to +10 forever (especially people sooner, and people for more important things), and the above even more so when there were droughts, floods, locusts, so that people applying for international work visas were thought of as thoroughly safe and achieved the international work visas for droughts, floods, locusts.
There are a lot of other benefits to making your country increasingly safer, like more foreign direct investment and capital investment, more tourism, more people overseas wanting to help your country. The challenge is how to safely, safely, safely, safely, safely and ethically persuade the soonest, the hardest to persuade and the most important to stay within ethically +5 to +10 forever.
So the above is, if 37% of the world are small-scale farmers, what are ways to solve income after
It would be ways to solve additional jobs within the country
And if there were international scheme for working visas on farms or similar for people in locations of floods, droughts, locusts, etc, although might be 200 years
And for 150% of the world to know what kinds of documentation they need to get, and each country has really, really, really, really, really safe places to store these (e.g. hurricane proof, flood proof, all risks proof) and if they weren’t stored here, 150% of people knew to grab these documents first.
Business Language x The Internet x Education
Having 1 trade language that people can at least understand and speak, and preferably write and read across larger areas is really, really, really important, because there are more opportunities for making income (because you can understand people you could potentially do business with, could export to, could import from, need to complete application forms in), because people find others less threatening because you can understand them, and because people can use the internet and social media to prevent -10s to -4s from at-risk people.
Ways to make the internet cheaper and cheaper are also a huge part of international development, because people learn from each other, and especially so in terms of solution stimulators from social media, and from researching solutions on the internet. People can also help prevent -10s to -4s.
What are the best ways to achieve wide-scale income development, especially when literally everything gets knocked down by droughts, cyclones, floods, etc, hundreds of times over the long-term?
It unfortunately appears that everything is shared… income types are shared between the 8 billion, according to who is best at the specific ability (of the 10,000 different abilities) of fighting for money for their selves (within businesses), so testosterone,
and, for entrepreneurs, getting specialized in high-growth income areas
Worldwide industries are shared… everything is shared.
This has been a long-term challenge to solve:
It appears that people in all countries produce something they think others want, or want a lot, with the right mix of (price minus costs, multiplied by the number of people who want to buy the product).
So the world starts by everyone producing something they think others want, or want a lot, and swapping it with other people’s productions.
As well as this, they swap these for money (so they can save it and spend later).
People also buy or create physical capital to produce more of the above, or more cheaply.
So you could say there are 10 levels- people producing what people most want to buy (1) to people producing what people need to be most persuaded to buy (10), and these products that people want to buy are produced across the 8 billion.
The people who get to sell it are the people who fight the most for money for themselves, who produce it the cheapest, or who produce something different from what most people produce.
However, the profits from the above depend on how many people want to buy it (purchasing demand), because then businesses can price things higher, how many people are producing it (purchasing supply), because then businesses have to lower prices to be able to compete enough with other businesses to move their stock, and on the prices of producing it compared to the sales price (price-costs x qty sold), so ways to make the components cheaper.
There are also a lot of other factors affecting prices, but the above are the most important ones for what trying to problem solve here (how do we achieve high incomes for 99.999999% of people long-term).
We can start with what everyone’s income is today, from now forward, or we can start with how all the incomes are organized in the first place…
If incomes are a mix of monetary and non-monetary benefits, and there are 1000 kinds of products that people produce, people everywhere will fight for themselves for the 10 kinds of incomes with the best benefits. Then they will fight for themselves for the 20 kinds of incomes with the best benefits. And so on.
The good news is that different people have different interests, so they will be fighting for similar, but also different 10s, according to who they are.
So obviously, increasing non-monetary benefits for employees and employers is the easiest way to increase this (e.g. flexible hours, work from home, people can choose their lunchtime length, unpaid annual leave, easier win/win non-monetary benefits)
If we start with what today’s incomes are, a lot of people will stay in what they have been doing, which will make this easier. It is more accurate to say that there are 100,000 kinds of specialized products. And the world will fight for the 10 products to produce with the most benefits, potentially in 10 different income tracks of 10,000 products per product/service kind.
So it appears that competition is a large part of this.
Usually, the more human capital a person accumulates, the more likely they are to compete above, where human capital is defined as the most important knowledge and abilities to solve problems for themselves, their country, their region, the world, ethically, safely.
The problem that has been impossible to solve so far is the 8 billion sharing.
A location would probably choose ten income types or industries or specific topics to help with human capital to maximize taxes and ten income types or industries or specific topics to help with human capital to maximize monetary and non-monetary benefits to people.
And each month, change some of the income types or industries above or leave them as they are. You could even do this each week.
So the above would focus on competition across all the different factors above.
The problem here is how to share it among 8 billion people.
It depends on the amount of industry-specific capital that each person accumulates,
including the ability to secure long-term export contracts
Locations with smaller population growth tend to be a lot more successful with the amount of capital per person compared to the number of opportunities available, and subtly and safely encouraging a birth rate of 0 - 2 children in medium and high growth countries is a really long-term win/win situation. More people need more solutions, and this is especially so when there are not many opportunities available. And people aged 24 and over tend to have a lot more human capital per person. Subtly encouraging a birth rate of 0-2 children is a long-term win/win.
For the 8 billion, monetary and non-monetary benefits probably are connected to the number of people each potential industry can employ, according to what people are most likely to purchase from others.
And the less people have your unique abilities, the higher the income and benefits
So it could be a ladder from easiest to get into to hardest to get into, and most willing to fight for your own money.
1
You would have government jobs across government services
These are for things that are needed but not affordable by groups (e.g. infrastructure)
2
You would have the from the environment industries, which need to be a win/win with prices
You would have the engineering and production industries for components and products
3
You would have local only jobs, like local to dos, weeknights, weekends, restaurants, bars
You would have international and national tourism (e.g. for poorer countries)
You would have products and services to improve your house (e.g. products, upgrades)
You would have things for social status (e.g. an overly expensive house)
You would have buying needs jobs (e.g. supermarkets, clothes)
4
You would have jobs that increase business sales (e.g. advertising)
5
You would have production industries for products and components
So how do you share these between 8 billion individuals?
How do you get high monetary and non-monetary benefits for everyone ethically -2 to +10?
It will probably be the world encouraging everyone to really long-term buy from 10 monetary industries that hire the largest numbers of people (e.g. farming, clothing production), >subtly encouraging 0-2 children for medium and high growth countries, because then if not, the opportunities available to human capital ratio either becomes for you or against you,
It would be about thinking of 10 really cheap investments each week in what you think is high potential
It would probably be about the 10 to 20 income types (or ability types) that employ the largest numbers of people worldwide, and how to increase their non-monetary benefits
But if you want money, money, money, money, you need niche skills in a high growth industry
What are the 10 or 20 income types or ability types that employ the largest numbers of people worldwide? And what should they be, after the enormous urgency of climate change for the 8 billion, and after solving the environment for the long term
They would be environmental resource extraction, recycling, farming, producing components of products, producing full products, producing supermarket products, weekend tourism, weeknight tourism, larger tourism, business salespeople, business specialists (e.g. advertising), producing local need and want products, producing social status items (e.g. clothes, jewelry), producing to dos at home (e.g. home tech)
However, if you want mostly money, money, money,
you need to specialize in something really niche
like mineral extraction engineering, or producing components of products, or producing unique
engineering products, as well as creating long-term import/export relationships based on
a competitive product.
One of the main challenges with poorer locations
is that they not only have less capital, human capital, opportunities per person,
they also have higher costs, because they are too far inland, or don’t have enough investment in
linking products to the world. When there are high transport costs, the solution is either to
make transport costs lower, or to specialize in products that have good profits but do not need
transport as much (things that are more online, but that still hire large numbers of people)
If the whole world is locations you could potentially sell to, what is needed to make your
business products much cheaper? What is needed to make your business products more
competitive?
If you have other countries near you with similar income problems, can you somehow combine some of your problem solving resources in a highly effective way to solve the income challenges (for example, that there are large transport costs added on to your product costs)?
It might make more sense to combine your resources to solve the income challenge of large transport costs if you are a small island state or a far inland development country (e.g. far inland in Africa).
The problem is, what about problem solving? How do you solve higher incomes? It could be finding 1000 relevant to highly relevant income solution stimulators, especially around the challenge of long-distance shipping and how to make it cheaper (e.g. some of the islands pay for four ships that circle by to collect products at regular times? And more online services?)
And really early warning systems so you can protect your business capital, house, infrastructure as thoroughly as achievable.
How help Small Island State economies rebuild when they are experiencing increasingly frequent long-term natural disasters… how to afford the increased frequency of cyclones and floods when there are 197 countries?
I want to write more about how to adapt to increased climate change but I am still thinking about it…
When I have something at least 80/100 to say, I will write it here
Small island nation countries say that climate change is their number one priority and it could mean their nations…
They would probably be expecting a lot more climate change disasters per year than they are actually getting (because climate change is slow moving over years, decades, and months), so they would probably be over-prepared, which is a really good thing
However, some island nations are getting hit with climate change disasters frequently, even if 1.2x more times than previous years
Obviously, the more that climate change can be prevented, especially around all the tipping points, the more effectively they can save their culture for hundreds of years, starting from now.
And people should probably move their houses away from storm-surge prone, tsunami prone, hurricane prone locations (although they could have parts of their businesses there)
It really needs a lot of preparation, especially around how to save their culture for thousands of years, where to move their people next, and to be as prepared as humanly possible, even if it is increasing at e.g. 1.2x a year, and then really quickly in 5-10 years once tipping points are hit. But to be as prepared as humanly possible before it happens.
What are the Most Modernized, Advanced Ideas of What Human Capital Should Be For The Poorest Countries?
The poorest countries also need more support…
Subsistence farmers need other income methods for times of drought
They need really, really, really cheap internet for everyone
I’m a huge fan of Paolo Freire’s work, especially around the ability to problem solve, international development brain development stimulators, specific topic solution stimulators, the ability to increase people’s interest and abilities around solving the main problems around their groups, region and wider region
People traditionally define human capital as years of high school, but what in high school teaches you how to solve the specific problems around your groups, region, and wider region? It is usually memorizing facts. And even more so in poor countries where a lot of the teachers finished year 10.
I think human capital is the ability to solve specific development and practical problems,
e.g. for yourself, for your groups, for your country, for your region, for the world
People tend to want governments to solve everything, but there are so many different people, the knowledge and abilities to do the above is what I think human capital is, combined with brain development through vitamins, minerals, solution stimulators when young.
There are 10,000 different abilities and each person is specialized in their own specialties, but human capital is the ability to problem solve for the above development areas
For example, I have 20 years of knowledge in international development and 10 years of specialized problem-solving work for hundreds of different international development topics. But I have been threatened so much in the past year I am really afraid to publicly apply most of them.
At the same time I might have autism, so, specializations to weaknesses.
Human capital is also the solution stimulators to solve problems around specific development areas.
For example, if you have a country in South East Asia that wants to increase their income, how do you do that?
Do you do ISTJ rules like the neo-liberal theory?
How do you do that?
(please don’t apply the neo-liberal theory…
International development people have
been upset about the imposition of
that for a really long time.
You could apply the modernized, updated
version of the Washington consensus,
but you need to really, really, really, really, really
think about the economic and
development implications of each
line in the consensus as far as achievable
because it was never supposed to be an ISTJ rule
book and you need to think through the
international development implications of it.
Each line of the consensus above needs to be changed
according to the individual circumstances
of the country.
It’s not supposed to be for ISTJ newbies
who don’t have at least 10 years of
advanced international development experience
across at least a minimum of 30 countries, preferably 50 countries.
of advanced international development experience.
With a focus on hundreds of different countries.
Because each country is completely different from the others.
It needs to be someone who is from within who has all of the above
Or a different role from within that is similar but not that one
Because it was never supposed to be an ISTJ rule
book and you need to think through the
international development implications of each thing
for each of the different countries.
according to the most modernized
international and economic development.
And each ISTJ rule needs to be changed
according to the individual circumstances of the country
As the ability to think far beyond literalism with what is on social media, which has been a real long-term challenge, and to move towards ethical +4 to +10 no matter what.
