Manifesto of Ideas
The Manifesto of Ideas collects together our best ideas from the various P42 inputs. We've just produced a substantially enhanced new version and a short summary of it. If you are new to Probably42 this is a good place to start.
We've even produced a list of the 50 Top Transformative Ideas which you can review in seconds to get the flavour.
Just go to 'Manifesto' in the navigation bar to access any of them.

Retiree Foundation Proposal
Retirement is the first time in life when we have no structure to guide us, which is both good and bad. We have just published a proposal for creating a Retiree Foundation. The objective of the Foundation is to release the potential of individuals in later life for their benefit and for the benefit of our society, by providing a Retirement Structure.
Do take a look, we'd love to hear your comments on the proposal. Just click on the 'Ideas' tab in the navigation.
