‘The New Everything’ is the pinnacle of mindset shifts. Instead of solving a problem within the current rules of reality, you create a new foundational reality where the problem is inherently resolved or rendered meaningless. This is about transcending every conceivable boundary—physical, economic, and existential—to find the “Axioms of Excellence” for a new era.
Beyond All Limits
Most brainstorming happens inside a box. ‘The New Everything’ destroys the box, the room the box is in, and the laws of physics that allow boxes to exist. It asks: “If I could rewrite the laws of the universe, how would I design existence so this problem never happened?”
Define the 'Old Everything'
List the fundamental laws and “unshakeable truths” that make your problem a problem.
Example: “Humanity faces scarcity and conflict because resources are finite and travel is slow.”
- Old Law: “Matter cannot be created from nothing.”
- Old Law: “Individuals are separate and must compete for survival.”
Declare the Old Reality Obsolete
Consciously state: “The reality where [Problem] is possible is no longer acceptable. I am now the architect of a New Everything.”
Create the 'New Everything'
Describe a new existence with new fundamental laws. Don’t be practical. Be God-like.
- Law of Abundance: Matter and energy are instantly manifestable through thought.
- Law of Unity: Consciousness is inherently interconnected; empathy is absolute.
- Law of Purpose: The fundamental purpose of existence is joy and expansion, not survival.
Backcast to the Present
What is the single biggest “everything-bending” action you could take TODAY to move toward that ideal?
- Insight: If the Law of Abundance is our goal, we must move toward “Open Source Everything.”
- Action: Launch a global open-source foundation for sustainable technology, making the blueprints for clean water and energy free for every human on Earth.
Practice
Problem: “Global Poverty.” New Everything Law: “Knowledge is the only currency.” How does this change how we value people? What is a real-world project that treats knowledge as the primary resource?
