I think that whatever we choose to make our noble cause, we need to vote on it as a tribe. Also I don't think that success necessarily means that we need to stop. I think that success means that we need to move forward and create a new noble cause, but I'm just thinking out loud.

I don't think that it would be something that we would have to vote on, but more like an ultimate goal we will define by growing together. Something that feels natural to all of us, like decreasing worldsuck and using our awesome for good etc.

I think that success means that we need to move forward and create a new noble cause, but I'm just thinking out loud. It's not that we'll stop.. we just need a goal right to work to.. and it may become something we might never reach/or take 10 years to accomplish it.. but IF we ever complete our goal, we need to have the feeling: "wow, we actually did it. Let's relax and enjoy our achievement." So then we don't need to continue doing what we do, because we have reached what we were trying to accomplish. It's not that once we reach it we must break all contact with each other, no we're still the pogotribe.. we just not using it the way we needed to accomplish our goal (amirite or am i seeing it wrongly?) BTW did all those out-of-the-blue-(today registered) members with 1 post came here because Dan tweeted about this ?? (just wondering, don't panic, you're not less welcome )

I think our noble cause should be to reach universal happiness. If everyone in the world was happy then what else would we need? Great idea, except for I dunno about the word "happy" i think in the west we have this terrible fixation on this word "happy" but I don't know if it's something to aim for. But I get what you mean, if no one was starving or afraid or angry or any of those bad things, that would be great. Whatever cause we go for should involve these things. I don't think that it would be something that we would have to vote on, but more like an ultimate goal we will define by growing together. Something that feels natural to all of us, like decreasing worldsuck and using our awesome for good etc. Great great great I think that whatever we choose to make our noble cause, we need to vote on it as a tribe. Also I don't think that success necessarily means that we need to stop. I think that success means that we need to move forward and create a new noble cause, but I'm just thinking out loud. If our cause is good enough we won't feel the need to go on. I think everyone should have this in their live, some point where they say "Okay, enough." Bill Gates reached the end of his time with Microsoft and basically retired, (by attacking poverty and injustice in the same way he attacked fledgling computer companies and other competitors in the past). I think there needs to be some sense of an ultimate goal so we can imagine a concrete vision of a world where we can rest and feel satisfied that we've achieved all we can. We can sit in rocking chairs and play harmonicas or whittle.

I think i speak for lots of people when i say that the cause is to end world suck but im sure there is something wrong with that cause.. Also, Ive been thinking about ending world suck and if world suck is ever eliminated, wont the world just be a miserable place? I mean, with nothing to compare happiness to, happiness would be the new misery.. Anyone else understand what im saying?

Once we reach a level 5 tribe I'm pretty confident we can start our own tribes in our communities and homes and help increase everyone to a level 5 way of thinking. When everybody on Earth is happy is when the we, the moon, will stop.

I thought SPOTM was a tool used to get the Pogotribe to a Level 5 tribal level. Isn't that our cause?

Iv'e been thinking about this "noble cause", and I've had some good ideas. But my BEST by far was, what if it wasn't just the pogo-tribe that had triads, but the world. what if we can get rid of Republicans and Democrats, political party's all together, and have triads. And then get Country's to form triads. There for instead of one country kind of in charge, there are 3 country's in charge, that agree with each other. That way, no matter how you look at it there will be a balance, something of which the world has never seen before. Thank-you for reading, constructive criticism is welcome... G. D. Baker

I would posit that our noble cause is more along the lines of encouraging everyone to help eliminate worldsuck. It's not just getting rid of worldsuck, it's also getting rid of (metaphorical) borders, having everyone in the world able to work as a community together (even if they don't agree on anything, which is totally fine and awesome) and have the whole world focused on bettering the whole world, all at once. i like this idea and belive it wouldbe a good thing to have as a noble casue

two things:
our noble cause definetly has to go along with our value: think impossibly big
when we achieve this noble cause, what will happen to the PogoTribe? I say we come up with a new noble cause after that

If we're able to come up with a new goal in the end, then it just wasn't big enough. In my mind, I see this as something that, when completed, we'll look back and think that there's nothing else above what we've accomplished. However, on the question of what our noble cause is, it should appeal to the world as a whole, rather than ourselves. Somehow, we have to use this medium and community to help those outside of it.

Guys, I think our Nobel cause should be something impossible(well basically impossible). I think the point is to set A as our goal. A is a very impossible thing, like solving poverty. We may not ever reach A, but it's okay, because on the way to A, we will be doing things that aren't A but are helping end world suck. If we could get the next generation, and the one after that etc. To aim for A, eventually we will get there, and along the way we will have created bases for B, C, and countless other things that will help the world.

I like your pogotoks, Dan, they are very critical, precise, and to the point, you don't sugarcoat it, you just give us the harsh truth

But the point of reaching level 5 is to enable us to decrease world suck as a community and expand. didn't put my whole thought down.
