July 2nd Session Overview
Title: How to end unjust wars & improve human rights globally
Description: Garrett has been reflecting on the Ukraine war—an injustice he finds deeply troubling—and regards the Iraq war as another stark illustration of the same moral failure. He has been pursuing a single question: how to end unjust wars permanently and, in doing so, secure historic progress for human rights.
Convinced he has identified a viable answer, Garrett reports that his initial presentation of the idea was well received, and he believes this audience could help turn it into action. Although he acknowledges real obstacles, he considers them minor and is eager to help overcome them.
Amid the current climate—particularly the escalating rhetoric from Donald Trump toward Greenland, Panama, and others—Garrett sees an urgent need for solutions. He actively invites critique to uncover any flaws and, if the idea withstands scrutiny, seeks collaborators capable of bringing it to those who can realize it.
He calls on others to join him in exploring this proposed path to lasting peace.
