The International Flag of Planet Earth (IFOPE)
"No official flag for planet Earth exists today.
A flag like this serves as an important reminder to the citizens of Earth. It is a reminder that we share this planet no matter of national boundaries; that we should take care of each other and the planet we live on."

makes their ethical decisions based on reason, empathy, and a concern for human beings and other sentient animals [lifeforms],
believes that, in the absence of an afterlife and any discernible purpose to the universe, human beings can act to give their own lives meaning by seeking happiness in this life and helping others to do the same.

Peter Diamandis | Official Site
Peter is the 'Data Driven Optimist'. He has scores of podcasts that largely align with my views.
Peter is a champion of global abundance and thriving as supported by artifical intelliegence and related technologies. I've watched many of his interviews and the over riding theme I take away is the how beneficial, how important 'altruisitic entrepreneurialism' is to shaping a brighter future. I personally feel that success is measured by how much you improve the condition of all lifeforms on our planet, and I see Peter appears to share that same vision.
