Ideas for Your World
This six-sided figure, known as the Humanity Hexagon © precisely symbolizes six social levels that surround where you live, learn, and take action. All six levels act upon you as layers of your life-environment. Even your individual lifetime is formed by interaction with these social contexts.​
If left unattended by you, these layers of human self-management may act upon you in ways that are not beneficial to you. That is, the people making decisions may not take your welfare into consideration.
Therefore, it becomes imperative for every child to grow up learning how to influence each context to promote a better world. And if we did not get this clarity in childhood and youth, we had best start getting it now to save our planet and ourselves.
The biosphere and our human social-sphere interface every minute of every day.
The future will thrive as each of us increases our awareness and constructive involvements with these social fields to promote better human choices.​​

The HUMANITY HEXAGON brings a paradigm shift in Lifelong Learning.
For the most part, we live in this Hexagon passively, with neither the education we need, nor the collaboration we need, to have a positive impact on the layers of our hexagon home.
​
HEXAGON LIVING reframes the purpose of both childhood education and lifelong learning in the adult years. Generations can learn and act together towards a better world at all six levels.
​
Every human child deserves to discover their Hexagon environment as early as possible.
​
And if you missed this orientation as a child, you can get it now, as an adult, by intentionally orienting your own lifelong learning to these six compelling social contexts.
You are more than a worker-bee. You are a world citizen!
Honeybees are born knowing their role in the hive. But we humans have to invent and develop the way we live in the world. Working in a career, your responsibility is limited to your clients, customers, patients, and so on.
Living as a citizen, you have the unlimited right and responsibility to pay attention to the quality of *everything* around you.
You are it.
There is no one else.
HEXAGON LIVING ​
While it is evident that human-generated problems are increasing, it's also true that human learning is accelerating into a different mindset than the one that created those problems! Now we think in whole systems, global systems, and their natural laws are shaping our sense of responsibility.
HEXAGON LIVING is a way of thinking that functions as a dynamo to transform anxiety into creative, systematic learning and social action. You can make a difference right here by adding to these ideas toward a better world.​
Live to learn. Learn to live.
Leave this place in better shape than when you arrived.
