Sharing All The World: The Living Blueprint for Universal Flourishing - Hardcover

Sharing All The World: The Living Blueprint for Universal Flourishing presents a proposal for rebuilding civilization around one foundational principle, the intrinsic worth of every person. Paul LaClair argues that modern institutions remain organized around hierarchical structures inherited from earlier eras, even as technology, information, and human capabilities have changed dramatically.

Moving from personal transformation to systemic redesign, the book examines honesty, forgiveness, fear, despair, cynicism, and the psychological conditions that prevent people from acting. It then challenges assumptions about scarcity, borders, capitalism, religion, and concentrated power. At the center of the proposal is the Civic Lattice, a horizontal model of self-government built around continuously expressed public preferences, artificial intelligence, and selected Citizens' Assemblies.

The blueprint extends beyond government into education, work, attention, art, literature, and humanity's relationship with the living planet. It advocates learner-directed education, contribution-based work, protection from attention capture, cultural freedom, and a secular ethic of planetary stewardship.

The final section describes a Great Transition from growth and extraction toward worth, shared resources, democratic participation, and universal flourishing. Combining evolutionary biology, game theory, history, ethics, economics, technology, and political thought, this ambitious work invites readers to consider whether a cooperative, decentralized, human-centered civilization can be deliberately built.
