We've all seen movies where the country or world collapses and creates a dystopian nightmare people are trying to escape. A hellscape of despair marked by disease, famine, and drought can be found in everything the ancient tales read in The Bible to futuristic movies in 4DX that feels like a two hour theme park ride.

What would the opposite result look like? Let's talk about it.

Help me design a fictional town in an imaginary timeline parallel to ours where America makes a u-turn and goes back to nature, putting people over profits, protection over power, and community over corporations and capitalism.

What would that look like?

Help me design this imaginary place called Charm, Hawaii that is set in 2030. five years after the end of the American Patriarchy as we know it is no more and rebuilt. It's pretend, but I think it's a good idea to talk about it, and come together to take a break from staring at the fire and take a peak at what we're saving- our decedents deserve the whole picture, peace, prosperity, and hope.

There are two sides to every coin. What would a world overflowing with hope and peace look like? For more on the inspiration behind the fictional town of Charm, Hawaii, please see my blog. Thank you!!
