Caring for Peace: Unlocking the Second Human Evolution with Jeffrey Charles Hardy

“We went from killing for peace to caring for peace. We’re already doing it.”

Sean’s Monologue: The Ongoing Problems We Face in Our World

As we launch our fourth season of Coup Save America, Sean interviews Jeffrey Charles Hardy, founder and president of the non-profit organization Care for Peace and author of the brilliant book To Care for Peace – A Global Mandate to Secure the Second Human Evolution in Perpetuity.

Jeff begins this interview by telling the story of how a childhood trip to Tijuana shocked him into an awareness of world conditions just beyond his own comfortable life in California, then he talks about how his later work in the U.S. Coast Guard helped him to define the true meaning of peace. This leads to an explanation of Jeff’s concept around “caring for peace.”

Jeff tells us about his lifelong career in healthcare and hospitals both domestically and abroad. He shares the successes and struggles of setting up his prototype tele-connected Care for Peace Community Development and Health Center in Myanmar, then he and Sean discuss what our society needs to change to help people “care for peace” in our hateful and divided world. Can global change agents propel the agenda by creating a new language with words that we already have?

Jeff explains that his book does not contain templates for change, but templates for considering change. We are in a pre-planning stage for evolving the human condition. He talks about the three stages of the second human evolution and describes the ways humankind is moving in the right direction during this time of suspended human evolution. But what factors are holding us back? Getting administrations to come to the right mindset is crucial to progress. Listen to learn how hospitals are like stadium bathrooms, why Jeff enjoys working with Muslim professionals, and how dictators can be beneficial to society.

Sean asks Jeff if capitalism is compatible with his vision and - spoiler alert - The Monty Python song is speaking truth when it calls Finland “the country where I’d like to be.” Jeff gives us a teaser about his new book in progress, then we hear more about Jeff’s Care for Peace clinics and learn why the individual members of Al-Qaida are probably are not as bad as we think they are.
