[GMW #4448] United States Decline Of Population Offset By Immigration


[GMW #4448] United States Decline Of Population Offset By Immigration Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4834 ~
The decline of the western population of 40 million to the year 2050 might be compensated by an increasing number of immigrants.  This is especially the case of the United States which will have considerable immigrants from Latin America, especially Mexico and will be able to maintain at least the level of its population.

Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 6 - Of Hope


Several years ago, one day, walking from the UN with a dear friend, Janis Rozé, representing a Non-governmental Organization at the UN, he asked me if I had an idea for a new venture his organization could undertake. I thought it over and said to him that what was very needed these days was to give hope to the people. Why not create an Institute for the Science of Hope? He liked the idea, submitted it to his colleagues and a Center for a Science of Hope* was created in New York City in 1986, to my great delight.

I have received since then, in addition to their HopeWatch magazine, a remarkable book Aspects of Hope (1993), which has on its back this statement of mine:

"In all my writings I have advocated for years that we should apply scientific methods to the study of bold concepts modeled by humanity over the millennia to keep it on an upward path, concepts such as hope, love, beauty, joy, happiness, faith. Scientists shy away from them because they do not lend themselves so easily to scientific investigation. But if we try, we will discover many things."

In 1982 I had already written a book entitled Planet of Hope with chapters on the Span of Life, the Four Cardinal Virtues, Writing and Speaking, Our Growth and Evolution, Work for Peace and the Birth of a Global Age. In 1990 this was followed by a volume of Dialogues of Hope with various personalities on three subjects: Political Hope, Spiritual Hope and Individual Hope. Alas, these books are out of print. Perhaps someday they will be republished in The Classics of Robert Muller, planned by my wife Barbara.

A teacher comes, they say, when you are ready.
And if you ignore their presence,
they will speak to you more loudly.
But you have to be quiet to hear.
