0:00A: So I’m working with this, this very small grassroots startup. We are Civil Engine, and we have an app that aims to stop World War III from happening. This is a concept I’ve had for a few years. It’s called WorldPact. And the concept is pretty simple, actually. Every week, a bunch of people that are part of this community -- it’s a worldwide movement, hopefully someday -- will take collective action and do something that forwards the political goals of the people. And so that could be something like everybody, like 1,000 or 1 million people write a letter to Congress, their congressman, they boycott a company, they -- there’s no telling what you can do, but it’s community-based. So anyone can go on our app and create a pact. And if enough people vote for it, then it becomes the weekly pact. And then everybody kind of takes this collective action together. I think that’s a way to make a real difference.
