Every one of our intentions will play a role in the the future of humankind. So I'm curious to hear your thoughts: What should we intend for our common future?

I'll start with one I believe will be fairly non-controversial: I believe we should intend total nuclear disarmament for the world.
Nice idea. I don't understand the law of attraction, but I do have a sense of the inertia. All change is inevitable, sometimes slow, but inevitable. sometimes painful etc.. And within the inertia there are vested interests - no it's not conspiritorial - they are there.

So - I hope you're right. Maybe some good things will happen because sufficient numbers desire it - but is that the way it has been up to now?

Not sure.
