Look at the world we live in today. Most of us realize that many of our systems are no longer working, and protesting just isn't enough. If we're really going to change things, we have to innovate and create better systems to disrupt and replace the ones that are no longer working.
Worldwide right now, there are at least 350 million open-minded, creatively inspired people just like you—disruptive innovators born to change the world. What would happen if we all came together? If we all came together and gave just an hour a day, we'd be devoting 350 million work hours per day to solving the world's problems. To put in perspective, the Empire State Building took 7 million work hours to complete. We'd be devoting 350 million work hours per day—that's 50 times the entire Empire State Building project.
But how do you coordinate that many disruptive innovators? Some might say that would be like trying to herd cats. How can you possibly give everyone's ideas and voices a fair shot while filtering the signal-to-noise ratio so that the best and brightest ideas, initiatives, and projects get the attention they deserve? One side of that requires technology—a platform with ongoing, real-time, democratic curation where you vote up or down the postings of others based on their merit. When you do that, bad ideas and nonsense disappear; good ideas are challenged and refined by the community until they become great, and those great ideas rise to the top, getting everyone's attention and support.
Take that platform and integrate it with tools for rapid crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and crowd coordination, and now you're playing with fire. Let me introduce you to upriser.com, a place where we rise up together, a place where you can roll up your sleeves, make your good ideas great, and make your great ideas happen.
This is where you come in. Imagine creating a world where creativity and innovation flourish, where wealth and resources are abundant, where you have played an important role in helping to replace all the broken, unjust, and dysfunctional systems with new systems of integrity which you helped create that truly benefit humanity. This site is for all of you: inventors, activists, entrepreneurs, artists, whistleblowers, scientists, disruptive innovators, and pioneers worldwide. Since you're still watching this, that means you. To make all of this possible, the first initiative that needs your support is the site itself. We've been hard at work for the last nine months to build a great prototype for this thing. We've made it free, and you can use it right now at upriser.com. Now it's your turn to get involved. We planted the seed, but in order for the seed to survive and grow, we need your help. Let's make this happen. Yes.
