system of human interaction and benefit, which we call
government, to become more perfect are: 1. The fundamental change of the practice and concept of education, as well as the structure of government, the systems of checks and balances for instance. 2. Removing the present standard and principle of money, and restoring it to a fully governmental procedure, relying only on outside sources for the invention of the card technology needed to replace credit (debt) or debit (credit) cards as the primary means of exchange. 3. Wisdom. Through money the banking institutions and their owners, club members with expensive taste enslave us and commit us to enjoy their manipulation; to consume, and be consumed by the prescribed cultures of their design, their fashions and ideals. By abolishing the present money system and replacing it with something else, the people would be freed from debt slavery, but this is just a cleaning of the slate. With the money system restored to government control, there will be no hiccup to the effect of rioting and looting. No change in the practices of occupation will occur until the new offices, of which this document details, come into being in order to simplify the exchange process. A good governments interests and profit would be cultivating and facilitating the potential of primarily human Life, that of ensuring a real Civilization, and that the people are employed either by the citizens and the civilized government itself or by compatible Corporations— corporations that will not cooperate with a government are incompatible with a government. Ones that have high standards of living and food quality would likely be restricted to a few compatible corporations. However, it is a known fact, and easily observable, that people, no matter their class or country, are conditioned by their culture. This conditioning can form itself in many ways, each person is different, each person interprets information differently, but everyone is conditioned. In the more industrialized nations, culture is principally consumption-based conditioning. People do not even recognize their commercials or entertainments as propaganda, but it is; it is selling what I call mall culture. After September 11, 2001 president Bush told the American people to keep spending, to go to the malls, to consume. This is not out of fear for the economy, but out of fear of the people becoming interested in what is going on… The conditioning of the modern nations is also that of stupefaction. Thus, the people of the mall culture are encouraged to be impulsive, without intelligence or common sense, or dare say wisdom; they are encouraged to be dumb. Consuming without consideration, and working industriously without a glance upward, living day to day without Life, the people of the modern age are conditioned to sustained slavery. It is rarely considered, this matter of slavery, and it is even more rarely considered with regard to today’s standard of living. Bondage without parole or payroll is the common understanding, but consider this: if every dollar I earn goes to consuming things that I have been conditioned to want, which may only work to further lessen my God given Life—and its potential—by subduing my vigor, or fattening my body in a never ending cycle of indulgence and entertainment, of which I am never truly satisfied, and by which I am betrayed time and time again, what is the value of my Life, if not based on the property and trinkets I possess? The truth is that if the cycle of modern slavery were the choice of ever man women and child of the industrial nations, there would be no slavery to speak of, but a lack of choice is the reason that this slavery is indeed slavery; and a most oppressive one in fact, for the people of the world have never encountered such a style of slavery, and therefore have no reference; and because of advanced technology and the sophistication of their property, and because both technology and property are equal in magnitude to the propaganda and psychology behind their conditioning, they feel—and rationalize that—they have no reason to stand up, complain, or revolt, and they fail to see the depth of its control. Further, because the people are ignorantly a part of this cycle of slavery, they are helpless and even outraged by the sheer notion. To admit that they are slaves somehow devalues the sum total of their Life, and forces them to confront their own predicaments individually; psychologically this is a monumentally difficult thing to do, and would cause most people great distress, and is one of the greatest safeguards against liberation. Property is not a sign of wealth, or an escape from this cycle of slavery, contrary to popular opinion, Life is. Without property (food, clothing, shelter etc.) Life is impossible, but without Life, the kind of civilization that We want is impossible. The rich are not those whom stockpile gargantuan sums of money, and they are not those whom spend every last dollar on trinkets and property to fill some void of their character, the rich are those whom are in control of their own lives. In this sense, in order to create a true civilization, everyone must be rich somehow. Only with the rights of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and information, along with a cashless, favor-based system of exchange, will the people ever be justly rich, only then will the right to Life be fully realized, and the journey of civilization truly embarked upon.
The way to establish this standard would take a new
entity of government, whose job it is to individually evaluate the quality of products, labor, and talent. The Just- Meant Claims Office (or J-MCO) will be that entity. The job of each working member of this office will be as stated, to evaluate the quality of products and labor; and they will be themselves paid by how generously, but also justly they evaluate. The system of evaluation will be regionally relative, that is to say ones production in China cannot be compared to another in Germany, and that the production within China will be evaluated relative to the quality of others within that region. This measure of regional relativism will ensure that stagnancy of the office, or bureaucracy, will not occur, and that the local effectiveness of the agency will be sustainable. Also, the use of electronic data storage will help in this effort, being that paperwork would be wasteful of both time and resources (the use of electronics will also be useful and effective for working with a plastic system of “currency,” then making use of the internet a viable option also). So many great technologies and ideas are based upon the examples found in nature. If we are to find an alternative to our monetary system, including taxation, surely we can look at nature for guidance. Taxes do not occur in the human body, my cells do not perform work independent of one another, and the energy they use and create does not separate from them into me; I am their aggregate potential, it is not their responsibility to give me all their energy because I am not separate from them, in fact it is I who fuel them, not the other way around, and the benefit of my sustaining them is their sustaining me. In this sense, government as the body should take the labor of its people as its compensation, rather than taxing them, and the people would then work for the compensations that the government would then be obliged to provide to them as rights. Under such an approach, the people’s acceptance and participation is the first step, like in the body; life begins at the cellular level, and everything else falls into place. Further, with the human body as an example, every individual citizen participating in the world of civilization would be benefited as greatly as the sum total of everyone’s collaborative efforts, and the resulting governments sophistication would be determined by the active involvement of the people, determining the sophistication of the benefits received. With such an approach, taxation would not be the only practice to become outdated. Money as a tangible object, and money as a number on a screen would be unnecessary, much like bartering became unnecessary when money came into being. Without the need to use percentages for taxation, and without the need, today, for fiat currency, the monetary system can become completely electronic, and because numbers would be unnecessary, the system of money could be changed to a gradient system of class, or something else more effective. However, with an infinite number of possible classes, classism is effectively eliminated—much like how air, because it is so abundant, is given no value. Class would become meaningless, and because citizenship, not class, would be the most valuable characteristic of the resulting culture of such a system, even to the individual, class would be meaningless between people, no class would have more power or authority over another that is. More importantly, the drive of the individual will be as it is today, if not with more incentive and more energy to contribute, because the compensation will be so much greater. This official documentation of the activity and productivity of the minds ingenuity, to replace monetary influence, will lead to prosperity unparalleled in history. If one has a talent, they will receive benefit based on their documented excellence; in addition, one can receive benefit from both a talent and an occupation to increase their prosperity, which would otherwise be less with one or the other occupation alone. The more acts of regular productivity, and the greater complexity and development of that productivity, the more benefit one acquires. The so-called bureaucrat will receive benefits based upon how many people they ensure rightful acquisition of benefits to; this will ensure that the bureaucracy does not become a conventional bureaucracy of constant stagnation, but rather an entity of progression, the incentive of which being that their livelihood is dependant upon the livelihood of their subjects. Plus, this entity will not be controlled with strict over structures and limitations, the system will be emergent —but it will be the job of the other aspects of government to check and balance this emergent office of the Just-Meant Claims. The conversation of what is a productive occupation will and must therefore be an open discussion, and this entity will be the spark for that coming flame. Each class will have its own interests; being limitlessly divided by varying interests, an overwhelming majority will never occur. However, consensus among the classes will occur, and to ensure that there can be universally agreed upon decisions made, the people will not be distinctly divided, nor will that division be ideological as in the case of Republican or Democrat. Further, the activity of the wise council to facilitate gatherings and festivals will ensure the people are more unified. Because each class and individual interest will be in competition, the power struggle will be unending and perfectly balanced. By not being a class based society, the class of a person means nothing of their power, where the views of the individual is all that counts, the power struggle will be free forming as well. High class and low class can have common interests, and there is no conflict. Only in theory will the class system divide the interests of the people, and not the people themselves, for the security of the system against an oppressive majority.
Having already gone over the actual system of
exchange itself, it must be understood that the evaluation of ones contribution to civilization or to society, to you or to me, is thus the first half of exchange because an obligation is created therefore, that if he has done something for me, that I should return the favor. This is what may be called the principle of benefit-to-benefit reciprocation obligation; in other words, what you give you will receive in return.
I foresee that these bureaucrats would be critics or
enthusiasts of the fields that they oversee. Like journalists, at higher levels they would issue analysis of the arts and artists to the public, resulting in the proliferation of those talents by the talented through the interest of the people, and through venues, which the artist or musician or whatever, could display in if they so chose.
The various professions or arts would be considered
occupations (if one so chooses them to be their occupation) requiring a field agent(s) to “evaluate” its quality (this bureaucrat would then, by request of the person, go to their house to have their talent personally observed. After he or she observes that talent, and assess the persons level of skill, artistic quality, creativity and cohesion or chaos, and whatever nuance an enthusiast of music may feel is integral to the beauty and purpose of art in art). This way, like in predictable socialism, talent, and I mean uninfluenced, unconditioned self-expression will be “rewarded,” so to speak, and facilitated just as one is paid for work and be facilitated to give of your Self, benefiting others somehow, depending upon the quality, and being justly benefited for that experience. [Please note that the criteria are loose and never influencing.] In the same fashion, all other technical and intricate occupations will be dealt with care and attention or else not at all; just what is needed to effectively evaluate a person’s productivity.
They, in one of their many forms, would be like
journalists for artists, musicians, mathematicians, scientists, physicists, engineers, architects, philosophers, writers, directors, actors, poets, chefs, and even down right pleasant people, wouldn’t that be nice… And even the assholes… even the assholes… astrologers, anything that the mind can dream of to produce wealth, both of intellect and of tangible world production, will be given official documentation in published articles, put up on the internet and media for interested citizens and people alike (and it getting there through renown alone) for their enrichment. (And of course, this will be done primarily on the local level so as to insure a kind of gravitational field, the further you are from the best talent geographically, the less he begins to effect your rating if you are a lesser talent, and so to do this would make global popularity not infringe upon the prosperity of a demonstrably less endowed mind or body.) Also, in order to further reduce the number of total bureaucrats; a business would need no more than one to assess the productivity of a whole business. Fellow workers can complain to this agent if someone is being lazy; for this the bureaucrat can select people to help where needed. The claim will be investigated, and if true, the individual will receive a reduction in “pay” until their action’s changed. ***
Without money these evaluators could not be bribed.
No one could be bribed. Corruption is virtually eliminated in such a system, and so is stagnation because the incentive of restricting new technology is also eliminated with the elimination of monetary influence. (And even if there is corruption, if there are workings outside of the law, we want that corruption to increase the standard of living, to make the betterment of others the incentive of the common individual, rather than the opposite. The system makes further prosperity the result of greed, redirecting the usually harmful result of ambition towards the benefit of others. We make such a radical notion possible by giving added benefit or pay to those bureaucrats who assess the works of others generously but not too generously—the point is to bestow justly. Therefore, the benefit of others results in an equal benefit for the bureaucrat. Creating a symbiotic relationship between them ensures that both are inclined towards progress.)
The practice of currency could still be used to
exchange goods, just as the practice of bartering could be used. Considering the fallibility of electronics, the use of cash could even be useful when electronics are down, but would likely be phased out by the convenience of plastic. When people are not plagued with the inconvenience of credit cards: interest, debt, and the ability to overspend; people will be more inclined to use plastic. Without the banking systems, currency would be backed by gold, and based upon the standard of gold, any currency could be recognized worldwide once world government is implemented. When each piece of paper can be redeemed in gold, the people would be using it as a form of bartering. Also, inflation of the money supply would be limited by the global supply of gold. When the control of money, and the severity of monetary consolidation by big corporations and banks no longer exists, money regulated by government will be a viable option, and the wealth of nations will be restored to the rightful hands of the people and the citizens of the world. Like any system of value, the evaluation of not only compensation, but also of price would be practiced by the consumer, and by a governmental agency to establish standards of decency. And like past systems, this new alternative would seek fairness, using practicality and reason.
The movement towards development and distribution
of resources (from the current creation and consolidation paradigm of monetary influence) will ensure a fundamentally changed cause and effect with regards to acquisition and benefit. Under the current system, one is slowed by the processes of saving, and further slowed by the processes of inflation, interest, and debt. But without the money, the basis for funding, and therefore development, will be the quality of work and prospective productivity; for if one does a job better, or more than another, or is probably capable of the prescribed, then they deserve the benefits of their abilities and determination. In order to change the character of citizenship, from an automatically guaranteed birthright, and make it clear that it comes with responsibility, it will have to be earned: either by work or some other public contribution. With the change from valuing notes of credit/debt, to valuing human labor as a basis for exchange—using the plastic, electronic card system as its medium and all other requirements of money—the economy will be founded on a limitless, and potentially infinite system of value. All goods being priced, not on the value of its quality, which can not be measured easily, but on the quality of the work put into making it, which can be measured, and in practice is measured monetarily today, will assure that the quality of the object is equally graded to the work put into it. An economy based on the infinite potential of humanity means a civilization with limitless uplift to society; the benefits are obvious, and the commodity is infinitely renewable, and is the oldest and truest form of commodity known to mankind. The movement towards development and distribution of resources (from the current creation and consolidation paradigm of monetary influence) will ensure a fundamentally changed cause and effect with regards to acquisition and benefit. Under the current system, one is slowed by the processes of saving, and further slowed by the processes of inflation, interest, and debt. But without the money, the basis for funding, and therefore development, will be the quality of work and prospective productivity; for if one does a job better, or more than another, or is probably capable of the prescribed, then they deserve the benefits of their abilities and determination.
Cooperative corporations being restricted by
definition, not being considered equal to or comparable to people and citizens, they will be regulated by a government of the citizens and people through the wise council. Humanity will be at the reigns over corporate power, under the governmental system, and be able to choose what some corporations produce, depending on how that production is projected to affect the greater good with for instance cars. Rather than being at the whim of corporate power, corporate power will be at the whim of the people, as it rightly should—much like how it theoretically works today, but in actual practice does not. Further, the corporate owners will not be paid more than the individuals of that corporation, or the value of the corporation; this will ensure that a corporate class of elites does not occur as it has today and in the past, and that the corporation’s quality of product is as high as possible. Choice being a theme of good government, and government essentially being a parent corporation over the firms subject to its fundamental laws, public choice regarding corporate policies and production makes sense. This does not apply to small businesses, as their world or continental effect on the people is relatively insignificant. However, the regulation of small business will be accordingly loose compared to the conglomerates: businesses that go beyond city or state borders. Regional projects will be a regions source of overall prosperity, based off of the principle of benefit-to-benefit relationship (i.e. that if you do something, which in effect is for me, I am obliged therefore to do something of equal or greater value for you), and will determine the standards of living for the individual. In effect this will determine the number of people benefiting off of talents and businesses vs. the number of people benefiting from direct environmental work. If there is a lot of work to be done regionally, at first more people will work on these regional projects, and when the prosperity therefore increases, perhaps automation will take over their labor; the people will have more time for leisure; at this point the region receives benefit for their automated productivity, leaving the people able to produce their own sub products, start their own businesses, etc… allowing their region to become self sufficient and effective in new ways, perhaps becoming industrialized. The eventuality is a constant refinement of all productivity. And without the limitation of monetary influence, any form of technological progression will be implemented if it is practical and possible. The eventuality of this constant progression will be evolution on a new scale and scope, one on the level of our technological production—especially regarding computers, A.I., and artificial consciousness (A.C.). The economy of the world will no longer influence the policy and action of the social structure. Our current structure is a house of cards, and because of this, the integrity of its influence is self-serving and self perpetuating, or meaningless, and thus harmful to the human experience, and in effect to the world as well.
Ultimately the goals of this form of development
would be to facilitate:
1. The eventual elimination of the necessity of the
pursuance of abstract object wealth (for it will be without wanting) while heightening the standards of basic-and-up living and therefore productivity. 2. The continuous increase of overall and individual freedom, while at the same time redefining it to incorporate more liberty and duty to each person’s lives—so as to make them Happy and well lived in their own way. 3. Gradual progression towards planetary consciousness (and above) on an individual (indivisible) basis. And to encourage the pursuance of truth and depth of interconnectedness on a personal level through whatever means: be it through business occupation, drug festivals or spiritual retreats, the spirit of god, or Life, maybe all of them indivisibly.
In order to ensure oversight of the federal and state
governments and the public majority, a council of wise voices will be assembled (much like the judicial branch in America: an oligarchic group of nine people will be discriminately elected and selected) to advise in governments construction of legal offices, the peoples educational system, and the overall insurance of wisdom in the public mindset—through counsel. The council of the wise is also in public view and not protected by civil law, therefore they have an incentive to keep away from corruption (which does not mean cultural infraction—in other words, eccentricity must be allowed, but not endorsed), if the J-M.C.O. is ineffective, and the reason is found to be the council, the people could revolt and depose them all. The council of the wise will ensure that the community is truly a community, that the people are not alienated from one another; and they will have communal council festivals—perhaps every season, but at the councils discretion—to ask them questions of thought provoking nature (much like the speeches of Jiddu Krishnamurti) and make a festivity comparable to holidays in the east. Education is to be a government-independent, self- sustaining organ of the world body. This means that government has no influence over what is taught in school; the council of the wise is to oversee, and be the governmental connection to, as this council is above the power government institutions, meaning that government must submit to the requests of the wise—regarding educational and communal facility production, and instruction. To reiterate: government, as directed by the council, implements school building and communal facility construction, and so there is actual communal facilitation that’s worth anything, and would be endorsed by the people, in other words such buildings would need the peoples consent to actualize. If the government resists, the council would alert the people, and if the people favor their plea, the people would be then responsible to force the representatives into the requested action. In order for the many to become their own philosophers, the education system must instill the love of understanding, and the desire for knowledge; this will result in a more capable individual, a more conscious, and a more efficient society; this can be done through early education—and a paradigm shift in the educational system itself, which I will describe later.
The other, more important occupation of the Wise
council would be their oversight of the Just-Meant Claims Bureau. If the department becomes too liberal, trying to increase its own overall benefit, then the council would have the responsibility to correct this injustice. (This would be a basic and easy safeguard against inanity and mediocrity in society, ensuring a more intelligent and sophisticated average person.) Improvements or modifications of this organization can be made by public vote, through provisions in the constitution of the federal government.
The council of the wise is also in public view and not
protected by civil law, therefore they have an incentive to keep away from corruption (which does not mean cultural infraction—in other words, eccentricity must be allowed, but not endorsed), if the J-M.C.O. is ineffective, and the reason is found to be the council, the people could revolt and depose them all without legal infraction. The council of the wise will ensure that the community is truly a community, that the people are not alienated from one another; and they will have communal council festivals—perhaps every season, but at the councils discretion—to ask them questions of thought provoking nature (much like the speeches of Jiddu Krishnamurti) and make a festivity comparable to holidays in the east. Education is always the most integral aspect of a civilization, and to humanities progression. Therefore it is necessary to inquire about education, as to the purpose, function, and style, not of today’s form, but that of the form most fitting to cultivate the potential of humanity. Without preconceived notions, which are culturally and historically contrived and derived, it would be wise to conceptualize a new, more perfect system, untainted by the immaturity and irresponsibility of the modern paradigm. Education, as it is, was founded out of ignorance of the workings of the brain, and without consideration for the mind of a child. The present education approach is founded out of doctrine and principles, designed for people or adults, and not for children. The idea of education designed for the child mind is not the accepted or public model, if one exists. The brain of a young child (between three to adolescence) is like a sponge, it soaks up information effortlessly, and has a great potential for learning in general. As stated, this fact is not considered by the education system of today. Nor is the smartness of a child relative to a teacher; they are therefore treated as dim on an intellectual basis—that is to say they are not respected intellectually, and are therefore not deemed ready for information at the razors edge of discovery; teachers and the education system itself are skeptical of their students ability to understand, when in truth there is no greater mind than a child’s. If the most powerful information were entrusted to the young, if each child were, by the end of their schooling, at the razors edge of knowledge, the world would be alight with genius, and a new renaissance would emerge. Such a happening is possible, but only when to educate means to cultivate the brain, the mind, and the conscious state, and to do so irrespective of preconceived notions of the child; their deceptive immaturity hides the greatest potential for genius, their playfulness must be overlooked—yet cultivated—and the child must be respected and well informed, regardless of precepts that a young one is somehow incapable of assimilating the information—for they are far more than capable. There are definite principles of memory consolidation, which, if applied to education, in various particular ways, could improve the young students ability to learn. First, it must be understood that the objective is not to force the children to memorize, take a test, and then forget about the information, but rather to learn, to understand the information presented to them: critical thinking, interaction, discourse and debate, all are integral to this process of consolidation. Also, the limitation of a timeline, put upon both the teacher and the student, must be removed, thus removing all cause for anxiety on the teachers part, consequentially improving the atmosphere of the class, and opening the stage for interaction. Obviously the school year would have an end, but this end point would not be like a goal line, by which the teachers must then race to the finish. Changing the education paradigm begins with changing the time schedule of the teachers. For instance: One teacher will spend the day with a group of young; the hours will be the regular high school duration, but broken up by numerous recesses and group activity. Five teachers would educate five generations, one per day (i.e. gen. a. on Monday by teacher a, gen. b. on Tuesday by teacher a, gen. c. on Wednesday by teacher a, and etc.; further, teacher b would teach gen. a. on Tuesday; teacher c would teach gen. a. on Wednesday, and so on, enabling a single handful of people to handle what would otherwise take many). The teachers would thus be educating the same set of students in the cohort style, so the teacher and students are able to better interact, and so more effective methods of instilling information would likely emerge through familiarity. Further, the use of curriculum would be eliminated, if not made into a loose, loose guideline, or say used at the teacher’s discretion. The method of education will be left up to the teachers, who ideally are intellectual and not merely academic or book brained. By allowing the teachers the freedom of developing their own method of education, under the precepts of cultivation, the vacuum of method would act as a catalyst for improvement. Also, the collaborative transmission of ideas would be porous, and teachers could then adopt the emergent methods that prove to be most effective. Intercommunication between teachers would be another way to improve the system. If the teachers interrelated their subjects, each day reminding their students of the past lessons of the week, their potential for consolidating memory, and getting the students to understand, would be enhanced by far. By relating one subject to another, the students are also prepared for their future education, and given an appreciation of the interconnectedness of their world. Another aspect of the paradigm, which must change, is homework. First and for most, I do this on behalf of the pupil; it is not my concern as to whether the teacher believes homework is a necessary tool in teaching, and if they do they may. When developing a structure, one must keep the feelings and tranquility of those that that structure is indented to effect in some way, in mind and at heart. Therefore, I pander to the youth with this measure, and not to the pre-programmed thoughts of the aged. And in my opinion, this is for the better, as homework in such a system as this one, is unnecessary and an antiquated concept. Under this system, the children will spend enough time really learning to make homework unnecessary. The technique of reminding the students of past material, day by day, will negate the necessity of homework, as homework’s proposed function is to keep the information fresh in the mind after the class has ended. Instead of homework the students will write journal logs, giving their impressions of what they are learning, what their conclusions are, and how they interpret the material. This will further the ability of the teacher to evaluate students and assess their progress. This would also replace the necessity of tests, requiring it be done once a week as a minimum, and once a day as a maximum— leaving the definition of test up to the teacher. Another idea, which I believe could greatly benefit this approach, would be to include child psychology, specifically with regards to the young children, not for the purposes of psychological evaluation or therapy, but to help the teacher be capable of explaining information, and in such a way that the young ones will be able to understand. Therefore, either to hire child psychologists for this purpose, or teachers who have also been well trained in this subject would be the solution. Further, to break the mold of the education paradigm with regards to food and health, the hiring of chefs, or people well trained in culinary arts would be greatly beneficial. With better nutrition-based food, the student’s brains and body will be cultivated. To expand upon this idea, the chefs could then teach the children culinary art, as the recess to eat, like all recesses, will be up to an hour. In order to ensure the freshness and quality of the food they eat, food gardens would be grown on the school grounds, and tended by the children themselves, as well as paid gardeners. In order to make education as an occupation more desirable, the pay of teachers will be that of modern day surgeons, and the pay of all other school jobs will be the same as the teachers: chefs, child psychologists, and administration. This, being a just compensation I believe, would further reduce the overall anxiety of the school, and thus increase the overall potential learning of the students. However, such high pay would be more reasonable under a different monetary system—such as the one proposed in the previous chapter. The reason being that the people would otherwise bear the brunt of such a pay increase, whereas if there were no taxation, there would be no reason not to. Further, the current wage of teachers is an injustice to the true value of their profession—however diluted it has become. All of this, including certain classical education practices such as a variety of languages, perhaps to be taught by teachers who are proficient in other subjects, to then teach the students that subject in their foreign language—in order to further increase the intelligence of the student, and capacity of the brain—would be beneficial to the process. Also, to have philosophy as a subject at the sixth grade, and to increase the number of days therefore to six, would be equally beneficial, if not more, to the desired outcome of the eradication of the devastating false love that exists today, and the cultivation of selfless love. The correlation between intelligence, wisdom, and love, are thus brought to the forefront of education, and the process of civilization itself, inexorably changed forever.
I would envision a philosophy class (and therefore a
sixth teacher, and a sixth day), introduced at the sixth grade, as being an invaluable means of solidifying the love for knowledge. Philosophy classes would consist of the writings of ancient philosophers, both read to and by the children, as well as the use of video (I would encourage the use of video, only in the case of necessity, as in the case of certain interviews where the speaker says something unique to that interview). A select few, mostly eastern, philosophers will be used to start. But as the class continues, the variety and number of voices will expand into the ancient western philosophy, and then into the more modern philosophy (which is more often too complex, too nuance for a simple mind). All the time these children would be encouraged to filter, and discern for themselves, as philosophy encourages. The progressive regression of the teacher to a facilitator would also eventuate to the collage level, where librarians would assist in finding information or utilizing search engines. And the college would be slowly turned into a library: a storehouse of information, unlimited and uncensored, and easily accessible. (I believe that if we really wanted to invest in education, and if we really wanted to see a new renaissance, we would turn our mall facilities into libraries and call them colleges—infusing the library with outlets for entertainment and social interaction. Keep the malls essence, both physically and in spirit, and change the libraries dull, meek concept; combine them, infuse the mall’s fun with the library’s educational value, and replace the college with this idea. Social gatherings are important, and this mall-library would ensure a venue for boundless expression and learning in the still-young adult.) The “collage” would not be free, a citizen would have to expend some of their prosperity in order to attend, but sacrifice is just when expansive learning is the result. The point of such a system is to immerse ones self into the fields which they desire, the proof of their education being tested when they apply for the job which they desire —eliminating the concept of degrees by replacing them with more practical and effective means of qualification. The idea of this system is to have the mind of a student in a constant state of expansion or learning, while in the classroom and out. Especially in the young brain this is necessary, because the neural connections are much faster developed in youth, and this will affect the adult later in life. The more you learn at youth, the easier it is to learn and discern in adulthood. It is my position that the use of bilingual teachers would help in the cultivation of highly developed wiring in the brain. The teacher would teach the children his or her primary language, and after they prove proficient in it, the teacher would then educate them in another subject, in that language. For instance, a Spanish teacher teaches the students Spanish, and then when they are good enough at speaking Spanish, he teaches them history in the Spanish language. (At the high school level, books of whatever language would be available for the students to read. In college the students would have the same opportunity, but because ideally they are citizens, and working for their education at that time, they would be able to travel to the country of their preference because transportation is a right. And so, I would envision that the college students would be the primary users of intercontinental travel by plane or whatever is used for that purpose at that time.) Yet another aspect of quality education, and the cultivation of the worlds youth, is diet. Dietary chefs will be paid the equivalent of the teachers, to feed the young ones the best possible nutrient rich foods, regardless of location (as each school will have its own garden, whether it is on the roof or elsewhere on the premises); this, along with classes in food and diet, by the cafeteria chefs, will help to prevent the dietary problems that exist presently.
From the Buddha: “In the sky there is no distinction
between east and west; people create distinctions in their own minds and then believe them to be true.” And so the person is responsible for their own prosperity, and the people for the prosperity and productivity of their region; the government then acts as a beneficiary of that gross product, and because of the principle of benefit-to-benefit relationship, the government is obligated to reciprocate wealth to that region. The benefits that government gives for citizenship are called rights. The rights to food, clothing, shelter, transportation and information are inherent in this system. Because the act of occupation is a benefit to society in general, the government acts as a proxy to reciprocate that benefit—irrespective of purchase and exchange; governments only other obligation regarding purchases is to provide the gradient card. On the higher, aggregate level of the states or regions, the relationship is similar to the exchange between two citizens: a nations overall productivity determines its returns, as per request from the overall government, and the overall government will allocate the resources, foodstuffs, or goods that an other state produces to other states around the globe—acting as a primary holder for the continents themselves. Also, the states can directly transfer goods to each other, essentially bartering—which is the easiest, and most actual way of exchanging goods between such entities. The other color of this system is that even if states were solely exchanging amongst themselves, the head government would still be, by request, obliged to reciprocate services or goods, because the continuity of the system is a service to the overall government, and therefore obliges its return of the favor. Rights (including food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and information, or education—as well as those already proposed in the American constitution, and any others that may come in the future) are the only things, which the government should grant to its public citizens, let the rest be Commerce between the individuals themselves, based upon the system of grading through assessment. The eventuality will be free enterprise and just laws. We are all equal ultimately, because we have a body, and are conscious, so we should all be given the same chance; it is our personal productivity and natural ability which will set us apart; this is a just and right thing, and an idea which is held today, but mangled by the faulty system which we live under—a twisted system because teachers are paid minimal wages while athletes are rich. Class-ism is right and just, but only when each person’s “wage” is given its just value. A system, absent money and given wisdom, will ensure this justice. The Person has the choice to start the communal benefit relationship; therefore it is the People’s choice to become a citizen of the World, and their choice also has the capacity to end that relationship by an in-person submission of divorce to the Just-Meant Claims Bureau. This is something which government, as a system, rarely deals in; people would actually have the choice, at the end of their education (which they can choose to exit at any time, and which is independent of federal regulation through the wise council), to become a citizen or not; never has such a freedom been proposed in history. If they chose not to accept citizenship, they would be able to live with someone who is a citizen, or live outside of the civilization. Further, one can accept or deny citizenship at any time in their life. In order to fully grasp the immense responsibility of choice, and the vitality of freedom, requires that a people or person is intelligent, conscious, and attentive to the matters that they face. On an individual or social level, prudence is essential considering the implications that a single action can have on the world; always multiply them by seven billion. Therefore, with freedom and choice, with such great power comes great responsibility. Assisted by the new money system, education system, and the Wise Council, the people of the world would be more than able to respond to the various forms of adversity that are inevitable in world affairs.
Once government has changed its character, and the
character of humanity is accordingly returned to a position of freedom and choice, and the conditioning of expression is effectively dissolved in society, the future character of humanity will be as it has never been, perhaps as it aught to be. To fully possess freedom and choice, however, means that one must be as intelligent, conscious, and well informed as possible. Freedom is like the harmony of a body, constantly bombarded by everything within and outside; the body is consumed by the bacteria inside, and is constantly in activity with the body’s white blood cells that destroy them, and the climate outside the body, as well as other animal threats influence the bodies equilibrium; freedom is turbulent, always in a state of flux, and the people in a free world must therefore be constantly attentive to the sustenance of their freedom. The correlations between the body and the matters of democracy must be recognized in order to understand the necessity of responsibility involved in relationship to citizenship. With a well-educated public acting as the lifeblood of civilization, the possibility for progress is duly assured, and the potential for economic expansion is likewise. With this understanding, wise council will only safeguard the dynamics of human and global development, and guide its impetus into prudent directions, as well as assure that it does not become obsessed or blinded by its objectives. Being intelligent means being informed, being smart means and having an open and flexible mind; being open to having fun, while still having the ability to take things seriously when needed. There is such a thing as being too serious, and mankind should be cautious not to cross that line and lose sight of its own absurdity. Being wise means having a great understanding of balance, and how to keep balance—another reason why wise council is necessary in the years to come. Unbound by the profit motive of today, which requires designed obsolescence; the technology of the future will be the highest quality possible, as the benefit to humanity would be the new profit motive. Such motivation would also ensure that better technology is always in production, or that the highest quality is the objective, not necessarily sales, consumption or even the production of whatever goods themselves. Living in such a system would be akin to living in some kind of an awesome videogame, where you can travel the world, work is virtually anything that benefits another person, and accordingly Life is stress free. The possibilities of the whole world are at the hands of any individual. By shrinking up the world in this way, we are developing the minds and connections of mankind to itself. With regards to the development of an area, the density of an areas previous development and population would determine the industrial purpose, and therefore the production or refinement of that area. Cities will continue to be cities, and develop in a manor conducive to comfort and efficiency and progress. Also, the geographical and agricultural yield would determine the development of a rural area. Farms will continue to be farms, but whole regions of the world could be turned agricultural in order to provide resources. The principal government to would then help allocate those resources to the subsidiary constituents: the continental federations and the states thereof. Agricultural regions need less developmental construction than do urban—explicitly for housing and mass-transportation. The necessity for agricultural and cultural development of such regions is obvious, and the necessity for the wiser and more effective use of such resources is inherent to the global standardization of quality living and health. Therefore, the process of agrarian development will begin with evaluation of the region; designs will be blueprinted by the farmers themselves, based off of the foresaid bureaucratic evaluation process, so as to maximize their area of production (if need be), while limiting public distress. The quality of plants will determine the basis for benefits; if the farmers are to blame for low yield, they would therefore have a cause to improve; if it is the region to blame, then no matter how much attention is paid, improvement will be insubstantial if at all, and the farmer will switch occupational focus naturally, to compensate. Urban development, to start, will consist of a constant relationship of deconstruction and construction. Dilapidated and dated structures should be deconstructed, destroyed and replaced by newer, more grand and efficient ones (creating a constant flow of jobs and therefore benefit. Further, I would suggest that the people who erect the first, most progressive structure of the new age should have the choice of living in It as their prize.). And thus it should be with overall regions; the more an area produces, the more that area will thrive, via resources (i.e. the more resources going out, the more resources coming in, that simple). However, in order to ensure a safeguard against such low standards of living as today’s, for nations of lesser productivity, first the regions possible productivity should be evaluated—for if the people have no choice in their idleness, then it is not their fault, and therefore should neither be punished nor benefited by misfortune; the solution to such matters, because they would be so particular, should be therefore determined as they occur. The possibility of this happening is relatively slim (permanent desertification is rather rare, but it does happen, and should therefore be accounted for. By the request of the people, the government would step in; the people would then be relocated, and scientists, geologists, and agrarians would then manage the restoration of that region) because the planet is so abundant and fertile; even if a people’s job was to plant trees, or just make sure no one destroyed trees/rare animals in their region, they would be able to receive moderate benefit if they were successful. Transportation will be an integral aspect of the more than likely fast passed world of the future, and being that all of it must become both public, and electronic or hydrogen powered, will surely place us in difficulty. However, these modifications must be made if we are to have a fast paced metropolis. Further, the fact that oil resources are limited, and electric or hydrogen power isn’t, makes the case indisputable. The increased use and further development of the already existing train systems would be a great benefit to the public. The way to correctly enhance the train system is to increase the overall sprawl and network of the railways. Development of this sort would surely decrease the necessity of cargo trucks, and would consequentially reduce the threat of severe automobile accidents—even as rare as it is already. Another aspect of transportation is to educate people on what the appropriate distance is for utilizing transportation versus walking or riding a bike. Until the technology is practical and possible with little effort, the use of intercontinental railway or bridge transit will not be attempted. Until air transit is made antiquated, its use will continue, as well as its development. The structure of this world government would be a system of united States: numerous nation-state structures working in simultaneous interaction on both continental and other intercontinental, or nation-state levels. All states will be sovereign in that the people of those states are in control of their state through representation, complete freedom of information, and because the federal, or global government cannot force or coerce states into action or idleness. In the beginnings of this establishment, the idea is to leave regions ostensibly unchanged on the face, but essentially improved by the programs principle of operation: striving for peaceful order and loose public facilitation—while both continental and global federations act in self-similar fashion to the states themselves, the purpose being global and intercontinental facilitation for the states themselves, which thus must therefore act over the continental and intercontinental states themselves. These intercontinental states will then exchange gross products between each other, while they develop their own territory to suit their individual states needs; this process will be enacted by state sponsored projects: the development of agriculture for rural regions, and metropolitan development for urban regions. Development will determine purpose, and density of population determines development. However the third factor of a states systemic structure is the culture affecting the color of laws and individual constitutions. Each state will elect their own laws; state laws cannot be interfered with by the central government, unless they infringe the overall order, or endanger the overall health of the world. Whole regions of continents will be structured similarly to the states of American government. Each state’s apportionment will be determined by geological, agricultural, and cultural status— such measures will be done in the pursuit of the people’s peaceful and swift acquiescence of the program. The government will be structured similar to the American form, the unique and various cultures of these regions will be kept, and their expression encouraged. The beauty of a culture’s unique expressions of creativity will be cultivated but not forced; doing so will ensure diversity while opening the possibility for evolution. Each region will then structure their individual state government to fit their particular development, and to further dissect or apportion their state territory into smaller segments of county or city-like design, which will be governed by mayoral representation.
Each continent will have its own centralized
governmental entity made up of the following: the elected official of each of the states, and one selected member, of the nine, of each state’s wise council. These centralized entities will then aggregate once again, forming a wise council of seven, and a congress of state officials at the federal level. All government activity, from the highest levels of the system, will be supervised by the various levels (county, state, interstate or continental, and intercontinental or federal) of the council of the wise, the various levels, when combined form the society of the wise, or the wise society. In this structure too, a president will be. But the role of the so called president will be restricted to— spokesperson—of a continent, someone objectively observing over the affairs of the whole continent and its people, and who will committee with the other seven continents’ presidents, and who will also give his opinion from time to time on the general media; this role requires virtually no educational background, and has virtually no legal requirements—literally anyone can be elected president (the idea being that the people elect a good, observationalist to hold this office). Each state official’s job will be to enforce the necessities of the citizenry through projection, and to intercommunicate with other statesmen to ensure appropriate distribution of state-to-state, or state-to-central resources. Centralized resources will then be allocated to whichever projects are interstate, or further centralized to the global union for worldwide projects. The central wise council (who will be informed by the professional community) selects worldwide projects, and do so based upon the overall resources of the planet. The beginning of this will not go for international goals immediately, but will help as an interstate distributor of resources, and will further solve the education dilemma, especially with regards to the professorial teachers that wouldn’t want to teach young children. If the notion that this is a world changing process is understood, it needs to be carried on like this is how it has always been, for the children of the future if for nothing else, for if they know nothing else, they will act as the foundation for the worlds future. I cannot stress this enough, that the [proposed] federal government does not own, or otherwise control the whole world. All continental and central government action is done by state vote; no one person or group rules the world as it were, and the size of states will not determine their power. No state will have more influence in central government than another, and no continental state will have more influence than another, and the principle government or federal government will not have dictatorial powers over any or all states or subsidiary federations. Government is a facilitator to the impetus of mankind, not an overruling power whose place is above mankind, for ultimately mankind is the essence, the soul of its government, not the other way around.
