Hello, welcome to my blog.
I am Ian DeBay.
I strongly believe we need a system change. And this blog is part of my journey of finding and creating a good system.
I write about what is bad in our current system and how we can make it good.
It’s about climate crisis, education, democracy, housing, health, transportation, art and many more topics around economy, politics and society because systems are complex.
This blog is for you if you’re in search for a vision you can work for, if you feel alone and don’t know what to do, or if you are simply interested in these topics.
I want to build a better system. For everyone, not only a few.
This is absolutely insane and megalomaniac. I know that.
And I know, I can’t do it alone. I want to start a thought process, I want to inspire, I want to show people, who are in a dark place, like I was, that there will be light.
And no, I am no guru. I am not omniscient.
I am a middle-aged white man, and people listen to my kind, even if we don’t have any clue what we say.
My thoughts don’t come from nowhere. They arise from things I read, saw or listened to. And from people I talk to. When I can, I will quote everything.
The first step in building a new and better system, if personal or global, is a vision.
Something I miss in politics and our society nowadays.
When we have generated the vision, we will set goals and make plans to reach it. Step by step, we build a new system, that makes our vision real.
Building a vision, and establishing a new system, is what I try to do on this blog.
It’s a tiny but a very important first step to a colossal project.
I want and need you
If you are interested in this, and you want to help me build a better system. Follow me on social media, listen to my podcast (doesn’t exist yet, you have to visioning it), subscribe to my newsletter and put this blog into your bookmarks. These are some very simple steps, but they are steps into a brighter future.
