Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1327 ~    27 February 1998

I repeat my hope that in 2000, as a celebration of the bimillennium, all rich countries will annul the debts due to them by the poor countries.  It would be in reparation of all the robberies of land, mineral resources and works of art over the centuries, for their own enrichment.  The poor countries should ask their economists to calculate the astronomical debts due to them by the rich countries.

I also repeat that it was short-sighted of the US not to ask for the reimbursement at some future date of the interest-free Marshall Aid.  Now that the recipient countries are rich, they should in the year 2000 reimburse that aid into a UN Revolving Fund to help the poor countries which would reimburse it in turn when they have become rich.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1326 ~    26 February 1998

I saw this inscription on the T-shirt of a young man during the ceremony of inauguration of a bench of dreams at Unity Village:

WILDERNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF NATURE
THOREAU

How admirable such an inscription is compared with Coca Cola and cigarette advertisements.  I wish that all inscriptions on T-shirts will be of a natural or philosophical nature: love, beauty, peace, kindness, friendship, cooperation, faith, prayer, forgiveness, etc.  I wish also that there were T-shirts and kitchen, towels with my Decide to exhortations: Decide to be happy, decide to be peaceful, decide to forgive, etc.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1324 ~    24 February 1998

I hope that someone will create a world peoples' association or movement called "Enough Is Enough" calling for the total demilitarization and disarmament of this planet. 

Read what Tolstoy said about the military (idea 1284).  Peoples' opinion should not tolerate that close to a trillion dollars are being spent by governments on militaries and ever more sophisticated armaments when there are so many poor, hungry, suffering people in the world. 

People should have the courage to say to their governments: "we are fed up; we want a change; give the UN the means to secure peace among nations; the plans are all ready for it; all that is missing is your consent. 

We will create a world-wide national tax revolt movement, if by the year 2000 you have not changed."

People know you infinitely better than you think.  You cannot fool them.  You are transparent like crystal.  Your most intimate nature is written all over you, especially on your face.  Hence this good advice of Balzac which I have followed all my life:
Work for your reputation and your
reputation will work for you.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1323 ~    23 February 1998

To be an optimist does not mean to accept any injustice, any non-sense on Earth.  There will always be new injustices and new non-senses sold through new methods. 

To be an optimistic
is to take a problem,
perhaps the most difficult, and to
have the optimum determination to solve it. 

This is why I recommend so many ideas and causes. 

I beg every human being to take up a cause or implement an idea, even if it looks crazy and impossible. 

Work relentlessly on it, even if it will not succeed during your life time. 

Dear reader, if you want to thank me for these 2000 ideas, please take up a cause or join with others in a good cause or implement one or more of my ideas.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1322 ~    22 February 1998

I have proposed a UN conference on the meaning of life. 

One should add to it the subject of death to which we pay insufficient attention.  We deal with death in a very primitive, obsolete way. To begin with our non-natural way of dealing with the bodies of dead people, not allowing them to be returned to the Earth where they came from, where they belong and from which they are resurrected into other vegetal and animal forms.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1320 ~    20 February 1998

In my view the subject of institutions has been given insufficient attention by humanity. 

Institutions and laws are probably the two most important factors of governing and organizing human groups and societies.  And institutions and laws must be constantly adapted and changed to respond to new problems, needs and evolutionary requirements. 

This is true today at all levels, local, provincial, regional, national, continental and global. 

I propose that a World University of Institutions be created.

Some people like to live horizontally, close to their lives and to the Earth.
Others like to live vertically, in contact with God and the heavens.
I like to live radially, as a conscious positive center of the universe, capable of embracing infinity, eternity and our entire globe and humanity.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1318 ~    18 February 1998

Increasing numbers of proposals are being made these days for world taxes:
- a world tax on the colossal international financial transactions which escape all governmental control;
- a world tax on tourism and trade;
- a world tax on multimillionaires and billionaires. 

It would be quite normal that since the UN has opened the world to trade and tourism, such a tax should be levied on their beneficiaries. 

It reminds me that years ago, Professor Jan Tinbergen, Nobel Prize winner in economics, a staunch advocate of the United Nations and proper world government said that poor countries should levy a tax on undesirable imports, e.g. tobacco products and alcohol, to improve the health of their people and finance the UN. 

This would stop the complaint of the big countries that they carry the main "burden" of the UN, and as result exercise constant pressure on the world organization.

I think that the time has come to establish a World Commission of Eminent Personalities on World Taxation and Finance.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1316 ~    16 February 1998

I often think that some day US citizens will invade a country like Costa Rica in order to have access to its pure oxygen, due to its location between the vast Atlantic and Pacific, and its still good forest and tree cover. 

Yes, the inhabitants of the western countries will soon have to leave their big, polluted cities. 

But I can also see this new problem: from my hill over the central valley of Costa Rica I can see more and more fires and smokes of the garbage dumps filled with plastic packages and containers introduced by the western world. 

Also the big US construction firms which since 1970, according to my journal, have plans for the de-concentration and abandonment of all major US cities, once building there will no longer be profitable, are now looking at the building markets of the poor countries, were it only for hotels and tourism resorts. 

As a result even Costa Rica might no longer be a place of environmental refuge.
