I'm really delighted that you've dropped in here. I don't much like talking about myself so let me just add a word or two about what I'm trying to do here at Protekzia.com. Highlighted links will take you to articles or other pages that best capture the central ideas. As always, I'd love to hear from you in the comments sections or directly by email.
Protekzia.com
is a website about making your world a better place. Your world might
be a whole country, or it might be your own family. My goal is to give
you some insights into different ways that you can change your world
for good and at the same time become who you want to be.
I am a
Jew who tries to study the Torah and live Judaism according to
Orthodox Jewish beliefs and many of my ideas derive from Biblical texts
and rabbinic thought.
I
think there's much value to be found here
regardless of your religious affiliation, and I try to express those
ideas in ways that make sense to people who are not exposed to these
sources.
I live in Israel so some of my focus is on Israel, but the ideas will
usually be widely applicable.
Change
yourself or change the world!
I
suspect
that if you have enjoyed some of my posts then you are
probably a bit of a restless idealist like myself. It's likely that you
notice when things aren't as good as they could be and you want to
change that.
If
you've got that urge to see a better world, you can do one of two
things:
1. Change yourself
2. Change everything else in the world
Since changing yourself is really scary, many idealists head out to
change everyone else!
On
the other hand there are many who feel that changing the status quo
in any arena is so daunting that they look inwards, try to make
themselves great and work on their capacity to take the world as it
comes with a kind of tranquil acceptance.
Obviously
if you're really serious about changing your world, you'll
need to go in both directions. Some of my writing is my own attempt to
figure out when to go inwards and when outwards.
How
small people can have a huge impact
The
Internet is making it possible for
very small people to have a very huge impact. The way that the Web has
become good at promoting great content to the very people who are
searching for it means that you just have to figure out how to use it
and you have a lever long enough to lift the whole world.
The
Internet can give us meritocracy and democracy at their best
because it makes it so easy to spread the word about great work that
matters to people.
Businesses,
organisations and individuals who
understand this can focus on creating and distributing world changing
products and content.
At
the same time, there's accountability because word now travels so
fast means that its much harder to pretend to be something you aren't.
You have to be who you say you are because chances are you'll be seen
for who you are before long.
So
this is also about how to use the internet to promote amazing people
who are changing the world. It's about helping the good guys win and
about your power to improve your world.
