In my opinion the only way to complete some of these would be world domination. The problem is that if you want to achieve these objectives worldwide, you would obviously need to be able to affect the whole world.
And to what end do you want to complete these?
You obviously can't save lives forever, do you just want a quantitative amount of lives saved?
What exactly do you mean by religious harmony? (One religion, or just coexistence and acceptance)
I would say it could definitely be possible to do this in just one country, and I think that is what you will have to try. (Start with one country and then move onward.)
I would say unless you're the billionaire batman, you will need to gain the support of many people. This also isn't something you need to do alone.
To do these things you will need to advance education and technology. People will always have to fight for themselves, and advancements to education can make each person better which can overall improve the situation.
As for how I would go about it, have a strong message and gain publicity. You need a plan on how to make these things happen, gain the support of the public and then push forward to change.
And finally if you are especially interested, look towards history. Modern advancements in all those segments all happened for a reason, and how people change the world would definitely be helpful towards your goals.
Good Luck and don't forget there are always consequences even if they are unknown.

To the extent the problems you identify are soluble at all, it would only be through political action.

If you pay taxes you are addressing a lot of those. The answer to your question is to be more involved in the institutions which it seems like you do.
So….keep doing what youre doing?

I want to do much more than I have done so far. — Truth Seeker

Understandable.

In terms of your goals, though, I think that the best you can do is continue to do as you've been doing. Your goals are all worthy of pursuit.

They are, however, very big goals. And not just 1 very big goal, but 14 very big goals.

I'd suggest starting to look at how much one individual can achieve in the circumstances they find themselves in. There's a lot of important things to pursue, but an individual person is very limited on what they can effect in the world. As a fellow dreamer of a better tomorrow whose tried more than one thing I can tell you that I, at least, had to recognize my limit as an individual. Maybe you'll find a better route other than a kind of faith and doing what you can today for tomorrow, though it be so little.

How can I achieve these 14 worldwide objectives? Not by yourself. That much is clear.

1. The saving of lives.
2. The advancement of health.
3. Preventing and relieving poverty.
4. Helping those in need due to age, ill health, disability, financial hardship, and other disadvantages.
5. Advancing education.
6. Promoting equality and diversity.
7. Promoting religious and racial harmony.
8. The advancement of human rights, conflict resolution, and reconciliation.
9. Advancing the arts, heritage, culture, and science.
10. The advancement of citizenship and community development.
11. Protecting and improving the environment.
12. Promoting animal welfare.
13. The advancement of public participation in sport.
14. Promoting veganism. — Truth Seeker

Your list covers pretty much everything that might need doing. That's the main part of your problem. You've heard of hubris? add "Diminish my hubris" to the list.

Kudos for donating blood, putting your body up for parts (upon your death), and contributing to charities. I know NOTHING about you -- absolutely nothing. But it is possible for you to have done everything that you claim to have done, have the highest objectives in mind, and STILL BE A VERY UNPLEASANT PERSON. Not saying you are, just that you could be.

My recommendation is that henceforth you strive only to be a kind, decent man. By being kind and decent you will have made a little progress toward several goals. A little progress? Yes, just a little. You are one man among 8 billion men alive. You may have another 47 years of life to live -- 47 years among the thousands of years we have been stumbling around is not a long time.

Look after your own actions; try to be the kind of person you wish we all were.

If you're an American elector, supporting the Democratic Party would be a good start. The MAGA party seems intent on dismantling or opposing everything you're standing for.

Not necessarily. My old Democratic party (I registered in 1958) is sick unto death. I hope it recovers.

I had in mind mainly the disabling of U.S.A.I.D., RFK jr's war on vaccination, the abolition of NIS grants, and so on. Maybe the Democrats wouldn't restore them, but MAGA sure seems hellbent on destroying them (although that's probably a discussion for the Trump thread, I agree.)

Huh? Sounds like you're achieving your goals... at a scale appropriate for your level of influence. Kudos to you. Job well done.

You obviously can't save lives forever, do you just want a quantitative amount of lives saved? — Red Sky

Some organisms are biologically immortal, e.g. planarian flatworms, immortal jellyfish, hydra, etc. If we could genetically engineer all living things to be biologically immortal and place them in spaceships to visit other star systems, thus spreading life across the universe, lives could be saved forever.

What exactly do you mean by religious harmony? (One religion, or just coexistence and acceptance) — Red Sky

By religious harmony, I mean the peaceful coexistence of people with different religious and secular beliefs. Hundreds of millions of people have been murdered across the world over the millennia by both religious and secular people. It is still happening despite our scientific advances. I am so sad about all the suffering, injustice, and death.

I would say unless you're the billionaire batman, you will need to gain the support of many people. — Red Sky

I don't have much money. How would I get all the people to unite and work together to achieve the 14 worldwide objectives?

keep doing what youre doing? — DingoJones

The problem is that living things are suffering and dying every second. Keeping doing what I am doing is not enough to achieve the goals.

You are right in that I have very limited abilities. If I could unite all humans with the goal of achieving the 14 worldwide objectives, then we could make it happen. How can I unite everyone?

Not by yourself. That much is clear. — Banno

I totally agree. How can I unite everyone towards achieving the 14 worldwide objectives?

Your list covers pretty much everything that might need doing. That's the main part of your problem. You've heard of hubris? add "Diminish my hubris" to the list. — BC

I don't have hubris. I am so sad about all the suffering, injustice, and death in the world. At least 99.9% of all the species to evolve so far on Earth are already extinct. The climate crisis has placed the remaining 0.1% at risk of extinction. Humans have killed hundreds of millions of humans across the world and trillions of other species in the last 300,000 years. I long to change the past, but I can't. I long to change the present, but people keep doing selfish things, e.g. murder, exploit, rape, torture, cheat, steal, bully, etc. Less than 1% of the 8.23 billion humans currently alive are vegan. There is so much poverty, inequality, ignorance and disease in the world. I have failed to achieve my objectives.

How can I unite everyone to achieve the 14 worldwide objectives?

Look after your own actions; try to be the kind of person you wish we all were. — BC

I am already kind to everyone. It's not enough that I am kind to everyone or else the objectives would have been achieved many years ago. Everyone needs to be kind to everyone. How do I get everyone to be kind to everyone?

I don't live in the USA. I live in the UK. I don't agree with Donald Trump's policies.

Sounds like you're achieving your goals... at a scale appropriate for your level of influence. Kudos to you. Job well done. — LuckyR

Thank you - sadly, my capacity is limited. Although I have managed to save and improve some lives - the world is still full of suffering, injustice, and death. How do I unite everyone to achieve the objectives together?

It is enough to achieve your goals though, in fact its all you can do. It seems to me the hidden problem for you is the timetable. You cannot achieve such lofty goals in a single lifetime, your goals are not something you can enforce or convince on the massive scale of the whole of humanity. Yours goals will take time. A lot of time. Look at history and you see how things, very slowly, change. It happens by leading by example, spreading your ideas and leading your life with those goals in mind.
So when I say keep doing what you're doing I dont mean because you cannot achieve your goals but rather because that is the way, the only way, to achieve your goals.
Make the best contribution you can while you're here and let the ripple effect of your hard work shape the future. Thats the only way progress to your goals that has ever been made, you just have to have the long view.

I see your point. I am being too impatient. I want to see rapid changes, but that is impossible. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

How would I achieve global political action? — Truth Seeker

I wouldn’t. This is your quest, not mine. I was just commenting that the only possible way of achieving what you’re talking about is politics. Unless, I guess, you are a billionaire like Bill Gates. He’s done incredible things with his money.

No, I am not rich with money, but I am rich with love. Yes, he has saved and improved many lives.

Test

Odd, this thread isnt showing up in any of the forum catagories…

It's in the lounge, it's under "all categories".

The lounge is where political stuff is put so that it doesn't show up on the front page. On the old forum there was a current events sub-forum to the political-philosophy forum, and you could see the link to the sub-forum but last post wasn't shown, which was a less confusing way to achieve the same thing of not showing current events last posts ( / controversial flamewars) on the front page.

Same thing was done for scriptural discussion sub-forum to the theology main forum.

Thank you

No worries. Slightly off topic but maybe others have the same question. The old forum had on the front page all the main forums and last-post of each forum, which encouraged posting in the less active forums (as your post would stay on the main page until it was a bit awkward no one responded yet). That each forum was on the front page had the bonus that sub-forums could then be listed (without showing the last post so as not to trigger people) but people looking for scriptural debate or then current-events knew exactly where to go to get their fix. Mostly scriptural debate was catholics arguing with protestants so was pretty amazing. There was this one catholic called Mariner who absolutely brought the fire; totally lit.

How do I unite everyone to achieve the objectives together

You can't. That's the job for someone with global influence. Keep your goals within your capacity to complete them. Be proud of what you've done. If 10% of folks tried what you've done, the world would be a better place.

I didn't intend to be a nay-sayer against your admirable aims.

I greatly admire Dorothy Day who with Peter Marin founded the Catholic Worker movement.

Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was a prominent American journalist, social activist, and co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement. She dedicated her life to promoting peace, social justice, and direct aid to the poor, becoming a leading figure in 20th-century Catholic social activism. Her work included founding "Houses of Hospitality" for the destitute, advocating for pacifism, and leading the Catholic Worker movement in its fight for worker's rights, civil rights, and women's rights

I'm not Catholic, not devout anything else at this point in life (I'm 78). One of the things I have admired about Dorothy Day is how she found joy and delight in the midst of what were often very dreary surroundings--she lived with the destitute. I could not begin to do what she did. (She is also a great writer!)

Was she successful in saving the world? In the big picture, no. Zero in on the 'little pictures' of individual lives, then yes -- she was successful. Likewise with any hero you might choose.

It is not "settling for little" to find success in changing individual lives. In order to increase results beyond the individual, you might begin or join a larger movement, and that is hardly a risk-free strategy. Organizations can get stuck in weedy ruts much faster than an individual's efforts.

So, carry on carrying on!

You can't. That's the job for someone with global influence. Keep your goals within your capacity to complete them. Be proud of what you've done. If 10% of folks tried what you've done, the world would be a better place. — LuckyR

You are right. I should indeed keep my goals within my capacity to complete them. Thank you very much.
