It Takes More Than One Block to Build a Castle
Don’t expect answers just yet. The long-term plan itself is very ambitious and grand, I can promise you that, however, for the moment, all I can do is explain the foundation of future steps.
The story begins with this online space taking shape as my creative outlet, where my philosophy about the world can be shared. And yet, I must stress that this story is not about myself, about this guy adding one more site to the world of the internet. As I have earlier said, the long-term plan is rather grand, and the goal is that we can all become building members of this new universe. Because that’s exactly what this journey is aimed at: Building a new universe which is better than the one we currently have.
But such missions are not overnight successes. Instead, they are the cumulative effect of many different steps, of several building blocks on the same chain of events. This cooperation and combination of various effects is the essence of the plan. That we all come together and contribute our share instead of just simply joining someone else’s movement whose goals and ambitions have already been set. This distinction between joining and building lies at the foundation of true difference and the promise of fundamental improvement.
This is the simple meaning behind the #itsourturn hashtag → An invitation to turn to our own dreams and press forward with cooperative selfishness. If you feel ready to take the next step, then come and join me on this quest of giving our most incredible visions a chance.
BLOCK I. – The Dragon’s Alliance
The Dragon’s Alliance is the embodiment of a philosophy which does not embrace one exact message, which does not promote one exact way of thinking and way of living. It is a philosophy of options, of choices, a philosophy of how you see it, of what you make out of it.
The world has already bred many saviors who have come with their own set of principles and a matching action plan. However, initial excitement is always followed by subsequent disillusionment as the fundamentals of promised new worlds are never actually different. People turn to an unbroken succession of leaders instead of looking for solutions in themselves. They join other people’s movements instead of building upon the visions and dreams that are truly dear to them. No wonder that this way we don’t get what we yearn to have, after all, we haven’t even given our most passionate dreams a fighting chance.
The Dragon’s Alliance is a shapeless substance which doesn’t stipulate a specific action plan. Instead, it is an invitation for all of us to stand behind our own plans, to go out and pull off our own act.
BLOCK II. – CITHADEL
While the Dragon’s Alliance is the spirit of cooperation, Cithadel is the place of cooperation. It is the meeting spot where people can come together to change the world for the better. Where dreamers and believers can talk things over and move things forward.
Cithadel turns the idealistic mentality of the Alliance into active engagement by the Alliance. It is an invitation for all to pursue their own goals instead of blindly falling in line with other people’s thoughts. A roundtable of ingenuity and innovation where we can all have a reserved spot and an encouraging audience to explore everyone’s most incredible visions.
In short, Cithadel is the place we go to the moment we feel ready to follow our own voice and design our own corner of the world with other like-minded fellows.
BLOCK III. – The World We Build
The moment we turn talking into acting. When the spirit of pursuing our dreams goes from the willingness to cooperate to the readiness to create. It is not one perfect world we are talking about here, a place that is tailored to someone’s specific dream. It is a world based on our collective vision and will, a future that is designed by the active pursuit and collaboration of all individual wishes.
This is the phase where we begin the creation of the world we have envisioned as perfect. Here, we no longer exist in today’s reality with all of its constraints. Instead, we take idealism to the next stage and only go after those things we genuinely deem exquisite. There is no more external pressure pushing people to fit a world that is unfit for so many. Instead, diversity of visions and dreams is truly embraced as we make space for individual variety.
The seed of this new reality is this story beginning right here. A website with a weird name which some might see as funny and would hardly ever take seriously. And yet, the whole thing is real because that’s what my dream is. A true alliance of all those who are ready to embrace the idea of a better world that spins differently. And it all starts here. With a series of articles introducing the way I see the realization of this idealistic reality.
Do you want to believe that the world could be a better place? Then I encourage you to follow this journey. And if you agree? Get creative and join it. Because I’m telling you that a better world can only be built if it involves everybody. So, let’s get started.

No one, because that's the real trick. Change without one person to dictate. I just call it leaderless change. A proactive mindset where we all take the leap instead of waiting for one person to lead.
It's all a matter of imagination. If an idea is imaginable, then it's just as well feasible, or at least deemed probable enough to be pursued, and as a start, we need no more.
Making the world a better place is a question of how understanding & cooperative we can be. One person can change, but it’s for us to decide how that’s received.
