Saw Akeelah and the (Geography) Bee - movie and/or board game with a world without borders and warfare - have potential?

"Lasting peace cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty." Mjoes "There are more lives lost because of extreme poverty than because of war." Lodgaard. "A highway around the world, in a board game version at least, would help expand our thinking about how ineffective conflict and war are as solutions to problems." Me.

It would be great if you can make it. However the narratives which drive movies and games rely on some form of conflict, whether these conflicts are individual or group is irrelevant. This could make the game quite challenge to make but tell me if you manage it.

Hmmmm, fascinating question. Considering that the game of life has potential, I'd have to say, yes. But, unlike most board games, the object is not attainable by playing the game but by discovering that is is only a game and learning to get above the game. The most direct way to do that is by the practice of daily spiritual exercises. One such exercise is singing HU.
You are invited to try this simple spiritual exercise to get above the game. To do the exercise, first get comfortable. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Next, gently put your attention on your inner visual screen where daydreams and images come to you.
With your eyes closed, sing HU (pronounced like the word hue) as a song of love. You may gain greater spiritual insights into your daily life.
Please feel free to E-mail me for further details.

Peace is a default, not a goal. It exists on its own, we disrupt it.
So, no I don't think a game like that would be very entertaining.

Oh Joshua, how soon do we forget? A strange game. The only winning move is not to play...

You'd need totallitarian tyranny to maintain peace. Depressing isn't it?

Peace and freedom cannot coexist. Sad.
