Michael Jackson opened his Neverland ranch in 1988. The ranch had an area of approximately 11 km2. Mr Jackson named his estate after Peter Pan’s Neverland, the fictional world where residents never grew up. For decades we dreamt of Neverland. Michael Jackson built his own land of dreams away from the reality of an unequal world.

We will build the world’s Neverland. It is a land where dreams come true. We will build the world’s Neverland. It is the land of eutopia and cornucopia, where people love and dream. 2010 will begin the History of Tomorrow that will lead us to Decemland, the land of ten percent.

We all build our Neverlands in life. We take care of our friends and families and build a world of trust and love that becomes our own social fabric. It is time to become men and women of stature, it is time to start building the world’s Neverland, a land of opportunity that becomes the headquarters of the institutions that make up capitalism’s new architecture. I found the world’s Neverland. It is called Decemland and it is a land where dreams come true.

The orthodox thinkers that defend the old paradigms and are reluctant to believe that a paradigm shift is around the corner will continue to live in the prison of thought they built themselves into. The pirates of heartless capitalism that deny the existence of a new world of eutopia and cornucopia will perpetuate a life in a monodimensional world that emphasizes the maximization of economic profit and forsakes human dignity and environmental sustainability.

There is a Decemland that belongs to us all. It is the Neverland of global redistribution and global public goods. It is the Neverland we all dreamt with. It is the aggregation of each of our Neverlands. It is a collective effort that will unite North and South, West and East, it is the new land of opportunity home of the future World Government.

We must start the journey of our lifetime. We must start to build the world of 2050, a world of no borders and no diplomacy. It is time to become men and women of stature and believe that a paradigm shift is around the corner.

I discovered the world’s Neverland and contrary to Jackson’s Neverland, Decemland will not die but remain alive, it will perpetuate to host the future generations that will inhabit a planet that does not belong to us, of which we are only temporary dwellers.

Six countries in Subsaharan Africa will participate in the Race of the Century. The winner of the race will host the New International Territory. Decemland consists of the New International Territory and ten islands of peace. I discovered the expert dreamers that will help to build the world’s Neverland. I discovered the expert dreamers that never gave up, that fought the great evils of our time, and whose combined strength will defeat the pirates of heartless capitalism and will show the orthodox thinkers another world is possible if we believe, if we believe that we are the owners of our fate, that we are the drivers of our own destiny, that we build, after all, our own future.

It is time, it is time to start building the world’s Neverland. I hear the visionaries of the 1940s and the 1950s. I feel them in my heart. I hear them in my mind. They shout the urgency of their time, which is the urgency of our time. I hear them shouting it is time to move forward and become men and women of stature. I hear them shouting it is time to dream that a better world lies ahead of us.

It is time, it is time to start building the world’s Neverland. I hear the society of the future that inhabits the world of 2050 and is expecting that we start the journey of our lifetime. I feel them in my heart. I hear them in my mind. They shout that a final destination awaits us. We shall depart and look ahead. I promised to always look ahead and never stop. I promised to always look ahead and never give up. I found the expert dreamers that will get on the journey to Decemland, a journey of no return.

I miss the world’s Neverland. I miss Decemland, the land of ten percent. Let’s all become children that dream, to grow up in a new world of optimism that is not anchored in the fears of the pitfalls of times that were and shall never be. Let’s all become children that dream, to grow up in a new world of optimism that is not based in times of devastation and atrocities, of world wars that built an architecture that is no longer able to face the challenges of our time.

I woke up and decided to dream awake. I woke up and decided to imagine the world’s Neverland. I found the new land of opportunity. I found Decemland and made a promise: I shall never stop this journey of no return. I dare therefore I am. I dream therefore I am. Let’s depart expert dreamers. It is your time. It is our time. Let’s get to work.
