Questions related to Humanism
Why must nuclear reactant be safeguarded?
What impact would nuclear exposure caused to humanity
What if we could live forever? Digital Legacy ?
Imagine a future where advanced brain sequencing, longitudinal studies with fMRI, EEG, and eye-tracking capture the unique essence of a person—their thoughts, emotions, and decision-making patterns. This data, synchronized with advanced AI algorithms, could be used to program humanized robots, creating digital successors that carry forward the consciousness of the deceased.
Over time, this AI could develop artificial emotional intelligence, evolving into something akin to a digital conscience. Such a breakthrough wouldn’t just mimic human behavior—it could redefine what it means to exist.
Could this be the path to immortality? The intersection of humanity and technology has never been more fascinating—or promising.

Human cognition has a complex structure. It's an epistemological combination of thoughts, emotions, intellect, and neurological components. Intellectual rigor, reflecting the demanding nature of education and science, challenges humanity to break the barriers of unawareness, and illuminate the darkness of epistemic uncertainty. In your perspective, what is intellectual rigor?
DISCOVERY OF AETHER
WITH SUFFICIENT EXPERIMENTAL, THEORETICAL AND MATHEMATICAL EVIDENCE .
(For Attention of Chief Editors of Nature Physics and Physical Review D)
Sir,
The discovery of aether has been made in scientific research paper titled 'Michelson-Morley Experiment A Misconceived and Misinterpreted Experiment' which is published in a peer-reviewed journal namely Indian journal of science and Technology with website address wwe.indjst.org. The discovery of aether would lead to the fact that Big Bang Theory, Theories of Relativity and space-time concept including the formula E=mc^2 (which took me half a page of research paper 'Experimental and Theoretical Evidence of Fallacy of Space-time Concept and Actual State of Existence of the Physical Universe' also published in the above-mentioned journal) are absolutely baseless. Under these circumstances how did you publish the articles based on adopted paradigm of physics despite the fact the open challenge was sent to you in 2012.
I am eagerly waiting for your reply as I require the same in connection with my complaint to International Criminal Court under Crime Against Humanity.
With Regards
Mohammad Shafiq Khan
Ex. Director, Writer, Scientist, Philosopher, and above all a Philanthropist.

Recently I bought a pair of VR set. Although it is absolutely fabulous and mind-blowing, I am wondering if any of you feel that the VR set is against the humanity? For example, I observed that we no longer need to ride the real roller-coster anymore because we can feel motion sickness at home. Also, it seems we can also play some virtual tennis to trick our brain to believe that we are in a real court. What kind of human beings we will become in the long run? Just a random thought after using it.
How do we solve the alignment problem? The error function? How do we quantify the error? How to control the bias of learning data?
What ethics should be aligned with AI? What are the principles? What is the limit? Will we have to redefine the laws (from the 3 laws of Isaac Asimov + the law of protecting humanity)?
We are on the edge of change that affecting all humanity.
Time is a transformative power. It is given to us in seconds, days, months, and years. In a few days, we will turn over the calendar into a new year. The world faces significant challenges today. Not everyone has the privilege of living in peace, political and economic fairness, or social equality, nor the opportunity to feel like a citizen of the world.
Science has always tried to revolutionize the way humanity lives, thinks, dreams, and imagines.
It has aimed to innovate, break barriers, and decode the mysteries of human existence, including emotional and psychological well-being, while exploring the Earth and the universe. The purpose of science should be to solve real-life problems, improve human life, and create better conditions for innovation and progress.
I hope that this New Year will foster universal peace for everyone around the globe, end the fate-destroying wars, and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to inspire positive change and make the world a better place.
I wish for the year 2025 to bring lasting peace, for metallic weapons to be replaced by ideological ones—knowledge, intellectual pursuits, creativity, and technological innovation. May hope, joy, and kindness accompany people. May great challenges be turned into opportunities, and may this tired but resilient planet move forward to a brighter future for humanity.
I would like to hear from you: What are your wishes for 2025?
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Given that the universe’s overarching processes—such as star formation, black holes, and entropy—focus on the large-scale recycling and transfer of energy over billions of years, biological life appears to be an anomaly. Life processes energy in small, localized amounts, such as humans consuming chemical energy to produce movement, heat, and thought, which pales in comparison to the immense energy flows within stars or galaxies.
If life exists by temporarily utilizing solar energy before returning it to the broader system, could it be argued that life is a fleeting byproduct of specific conditions, rather than a central component of the universe’s energy dynamics? What implications does this perspective have for understanding humanity’s place in the cosmos?
According to the social prison experiment designed by Zimbardo and the opinions of Milgram, bad leadership is not only based on having a bad leader, but also on bad followers and the general context of the organization. In this light, where is leadership heading in the current international context characterized by wars and utilitarian capitalism? Are we on the verge of producing leaders who will drive the world towards the end of humanity (humanity in the morally and psychologically healthy sense)?
Lust, often viewed negatively in today's world, is commonly associated with desire and excess. However, it is crucial to explore lust not just as an unhealthy drive but as a homonym capable of elevating human consciousness toward happiness, bliss, and enlightenment when used in the right way. This question delves into this duality, exploring how the same energy that is seen as leading us to a slow death, in the form of unhealthy desires and actions, can be reoriented toward the positive to promote fulfillment, abundance, and spiritual growth.
In my research papers, such as "Masturbation: End of the World, Self-Control a New Beginning" and "Kama Sutra: A Pandora's Box of Evils", I explore the role of sexual energy and desire in shaping human behavior and its implications for the future of humanity. Lust, when engaged with mindfully and healthily, can unlock the potential for harmony and enlightenment, serving as a potent force for growth rather than destruction. Healthy sex, rooted in respect, love, and awareness, can elevate individuals and societies, fostering wealth, prosperity, and true connection.
On the flip side, when misused, lust becomes a dangerous force, guiding humanity into destructive patterns. This is where the power of God's energy comes into play. As discussed in my research, lust, in its morally correct manifestation, aligns with divine energy, facilitating spiritual elevation. Conversely, when misused, it mirrors the negative side of divine energy, pulling us further into spiritual degradation.
I encourage you all to reflect on how lust, when used as an instrument of consciousness, can change the trajectory of human life. Join the conversation and explore how reimagining lust as a source of power, when used with wisdom, can not only promote healthier relationships and a more fulfilled life but also lead humanity toward a brighter future.

By fostering a deeper understanding of how lust, in all its forms, can serve as a transformative tool, we can shift the narrative around this potent force and open pathways to greater human potential. Let’s reshape the discussion—share your thoughts and feedback on this profound concept!
Artificial Intelligence(AI) has caused a global stir, pushing the boundaries of what was once thought impossible. Problems that were previously considered unsolvable are now being approached as challenges within reach, suggesting that humanity may be on the verge of a major breakthrough. It is fascinating that while humans have developed systems capable of swiftly answering any question, we still struggle to understand complex concepts like "intention".
What is intention? Where does it originate? Does intention follow observation, or does it precede it, with observation coming afterward? These are questions that AI has yet to answer, and despite thousands of scientific investigations, the mystery remains unresolved.
Is it conceivable that AI will be capable of solving this mystery and providing answers to these questions soon?
What are your perspectives on this?
The population is growing exponentially and demands food, fiber, services, etc. And on the other hand, the weather goes every time unpredictable. Technology and innovation seem to be an alternative as long as it is possible to reuse and add value to the residues and waste from the production units. This leads to asking a question that perhaps starts this discussion. What is the country's agenda on the issue of Bioeconomy?
Almost every development we cover on Our World in Data is underpinned by technological change.
Medical innovations contributed to the decline in child mortality and the improvement in life expectancy. Thanks to the advances in agricultural technologies, higher crop yields and less undernourishment became possible. The long-term decline of global poverty was primarily driven by increased productivity from technological change. Access to energy, electricity, sanitation, and clean water has transformed the lives of billions. Transport, telephones, and the Internet have allowed us to collaborate on problems at a global level.
Emerging technologies are often expensive and, therefore, initially limited to society's richest. A key part of technological progress is making these life-changing and often life-saving innovations affordable for everyone.
Technology has improved our lives in many ways, but these developments are not always positive. Many of humanity’s largest threats — such as nuclear weapons and potentially artificial intelligence — result from technological advances. To mitigate these risks, good governance can be as important as the technology itself.
Since most anti-aging experimenting is humanely on mice, how about a machine to automatically draw equivalence between the human and mouse body?
Philosophy in the conventional meaning of the term came to an end with Hegel’s dialectics. Because, if the aim of all previous philosophy was to find the final, absolute, ultimate truth of the world; the ‘Mind of God’ etc.; Hegel’s dialectics has convincingly showed that such an aim can never be achieved. "The Infinite - As a Hegelian Philosophical Category and Its Implication for Modern Theoretical Natural Science":
Philosophy in the form of dialectics has to become an integral part of the positive empirical sciences (related to human social/historical practice, technology etc.) that originated with primitive man. But what was previously unconscious and rather instinctive, dialectics after Hegel becomes a consciously scientific method of acquiring positive Knowledge of the history of Man and the World, actively changing the world to progressively narrow the contradiction between the two, but without any end, ever. As Engels said, “What still independently survives of all former philosophy is the science of thought and its laws - formal logic and dialectics. Everything else is merged in the positive science of nature and history.' Anti-Dühring,
But what’s of post-Hegelian philosophy? If natural science, in spite of its phenomenal achievements still finds itself begging at the door of theology, it has the satisfaction of seeing philosophy sink lower still. Modern philosophy maintains (as Engels put it) a pseudo existence in the state appointed academia, where, position-hunting, cobweb-spinning eclectic flea-crackers occupy the chairs of philosophy. Instead of looking for profound truths in the wide world of nature and human society like their predecessors, these namesakes either work openly as the apologists of monopoly capitalism or look inwards to “self” (existentialism) or to language(linguistic philosophy) etc. ad nauseam to hunt for absolute truth.
Stephen Hawking is absolutely right when he says: “In the eighteenth century, philosophers considered the whole of human knowledge, including science, to be their field and discussed questions such as: Did the universe have a beginning? However, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, science became too technical and mathematical for philosophers, or anyone else except a few specialists. Philosophers reduced the scope of their inquiries so much that Wittgenstein, the most famous philosopher of this century, said, ‘The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.’ What a comedown from the great tradition of philosophy from Aristotle to Kant!”. S Hawking, “A Brief History of Time”, Bantam Books, p. 174-175 (1990)
But it is modern natural science that is hiding its bankruptcy and confusion under the mystery of mathematics and like an ostrich is burying its head in the sand of causality and determinism. The philosophy of Heraclitus, Epicurus, Hegel, Marx and Engels means nothing to it. Modern natural science, has come under total subjugation of monopoly capital, and has dishonoured the great tradition set by Copernicus, Galileo and Darwin. A natural science, which was once inspired by the revolutionary bourgeoisie and created these giants of science, has now become a lap dog of reactionary/regressive monopoly capital. Modern natural science wants to bring back the absolutist and obscurantist science of feudalism to serve the interest of moribund monopoly capital. It is churning up a “complete theory” of exquisite mathematical beauty and of absolute validity for all eternity; a theory, which has no empirical foundation. Like modern philosophy, present day natural science has reduced its scope to mere application of the absolute truth it has attained in the realm of nature. Only those facts that conform to this truth are of interest to science, those that do not, remains in the realms of the Creator or at best are Kantian “thing in itself”. Thus, we have not only a “comedown from the great tradition of philosophy” but a comedown from the great tradition of natural science too.
G.W.F. Hegel said, “All that is real is rational; and all that is rational is real.”; but with the important qualification, “The reality proves itself to be the necessary in the course of its development.”
As Frederick Engels extrapolated on Hegel’s dialectical statement, “… so, in the course of development, all that was previously real becomes unreal, loses it necessity, its right of existence, its rationality. And in the place of moribund reality comes a new reality capable of living — peacefully if the old has enough intelligence to go to its death without a struggle; forcibly if it resists this necessity. Thus, the Hegelian proposition turns into its opposite through Hegelian dialectics itself: All that is real in the sphere of human history, becomes irrational in the process of time, is therefore irrational by its very destination, is tainted beforehand with irrationality, and everything which is rational in the minds of men is destined to become real, however much it may contradict apparent reality of existing conditions. In accordance with all the rules of the Hegelian method of thought, the proposition of the rationality of everything which is real resolves itself into the other proposition: ‘All that exists deserves to perish’ *”. "Ludwig Feuerbach"
It is obvious that the monopoly capitalism of the present time, with its parasitic economic, political, military etc., domination of humanity and its decadent ruling idea based on concocted mathematical theories of physics (and cosmology), has become vulnerable to conscious and active resistance and CHANGE!

because they would exterminate themselves.
what is rational humanism and how is helpful in eradication of social disparities in present Indian society?
Yes, it is a profound observation. Humanity’s greatest adversary is often itself. We possess remarkable intelligence, creativity, and the capacity for compassion, yet we also harbor destructive tendencies. Our history is marked by both incredible achievements and devastating conflicts. From wars to environmental degradation, we often find ourselves at odds with our species.
Consider the paradox:
We build civilizations and tear them down, create art and destroy it, heal and harm. The same hands that extend kindness can also wield weapons. Our potential for good and evil coexists within us.
Perhaps it’s a reflection of our complexity. As individuals, we grapple with our dual nature—our capacity for love and cruelty.
The challenge lies in nurturing the better angels of our nature, fostering empathy, and transcending our darker impulses.
In the grand tapestry of existence, we are simultaneously creators and destroyers.
The question remains:
- Can we collectively choose creation over destruction?
- Can we recognize our shared humanity and work toward a more harmonious world?
Let us hope that wisdom prevails and that we learn to be our allies rather than adversaries.
Lately, it appears that a narcissistic group of corrupt wealthy tyrants believe that human beings somehow are tradeable property, as in an asset and not a sovereign being.
Are human beings property?
Are governments corporations?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then the governments of the world, whether elected, self-determined by coercion and threat, or by imperialistic expansion and takeover are criminal enterprises in violation of the very corporate laws that have been established.
While this should come as no surprise to anyone, after all, throughout history organized power comes from overpowering the divided population, what should be clear is the need to declare and protect all human sovereignty, and to remove fake divisions that weaken humanity but give strength to powerful governments that seek dominion, ownership and enslavery of humanity.
Humanity is a God-given miracle. It is not a creation of a test tube experiment or a piece of property.
God's children are never for sale and those who trade in human beings, human body parts and human spirits are doing so against nature.
Distractions, such as gender movements, racial attacks, climate hoax schemes, money control and revisionist education all are intended to divide, then conquer, a population that has trusted authorities with no rational reason.
The facts are, whether via the Crown, the Kingdoms, the Districts, the Territorial Treaties, all were devised as schemes that have no natural roots, and are based entirely on coercion, extortion, threats, and idolization of power and dominion over humanity, with the false premise that humanity represents property with ownership rights.
It is time to Re-Think the equation for civilized society, and a dismantling of the current power structures is a beginning.
Unfortunately, whatever new version of societal governance is established, history suggests that it will merely repeat its past, much as we are currently recreating WWI,WWII and we are in WWIII, with the failure of fiat currencies and the desperate attempts by the central banks to hang on to their control of humanity via central bank digital currency.
It's important to remember that while there may be conflicts and divisions among people based on various factors such as race, nationality, religion, or ideology, it is essential to recognize and respect the shared humanity that unites us all. Embracing our common humanity can help bridge divides and promote understanding and empathy.
The shared humanity that unites all of us refers to the fundamental qualities and characteristics that we all possess as human beings. These include:
- Emotions: We all experience a range of emotions, including joy, sadness, anger, fear, and love.
- Capacity for Reason: We all have the ability to reason, think critically, and solve problems.
- Social Connections: We all have a need for social connections and relationships with others.
- Physical Needs: We all have basic physical needs such as food, water, and shelter.
- Vulnerability: We are all vulnerable to illness, injury, and death.
- Diversity: We all come from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.
Recognizing and embracing these shared qualities can help us to connect with others, promote empathy and understanding, and work towards a more peaceful and just world.
What do you think?
Without AT LEAST limited free will, humans would NOT be able to measure parsimony.
We know that during the usage of commodity currencies, the scarcity of metals like gold and silver narrowed the money supply and did not allow economies to grow out of a specific natural capacity by forcing depressions that happened due to the lack of a medium of exchange and in turn, the economic incentives for production.
Fiat standard, however, allows the central banks to affect the GDP as they see fit; they might choose monetary policies that cause the enlargement of the economy, oblivious to the environmental capacity of their countries; this has, of course, resulted in a population boom during the past century but also caused problems within the environment.
Technology has increased our productivity and helped us dodge the Malthusian trap, but even if we look at Technology as a scarce accumulative resource that also takes time and energy to be amassed (unlike Fiat money), is it possible to blame Fiat Standard as a contributor to Humanity's environmental predicaments?
Second Component of the ElectroMagnetic Field (SCEMF)
The result of researches concerning real physical phenomena of nature adjusted for
fundamental and basic calibrations, which closes the door to knowledge for humanity, is
presented. It is suggested to realize it and reveal.
Everyone is familiar with the fundamental theorem of Stokes and Helmholtz field
theory, which describes liquid and gas flow. There are different mathematician approaches to describe it. Let us describe one of them, mainly the integral-differential representation, which consists of two components: rotH+gradH*=J. The presented theorem is beyond question, it agrees with observations and experiments, and has no objections and contradictions.
Recognizing difference between fields and their properties as well as understanding that mathematical description of the field theorem corresponds to well-known fields, the
calibration of Coulomb should be considered. Basing on experiments with iron fillings, this
calibration repeals one of the components of the electromagnetic field (described
mathematically). As the result, from two components, specifically the CURL and the
DEVERGENCE, we use only the CURL in modern science.
Can you discuss briefly some notable examples from literature and the visual arts which have contributed to the exploration of the concept “what it means to be human?”
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick is indeed a notable example of exploring the concept of what it means to be "human." The novel delves into several themes that challenge traditional definitions of humanity, particularly through the lens of empathy, identity, and the nature of consciousness.
One of the central themes of the novel is the exploration of empathy and its role in defining humanity. The protagonist, Rick Deckard, is tasked with "retiring" (destroying) androids that have escaped to Earth. Throughout the story, Deckard struggles with his own sense of empathy, particularly when he begins to empathize with the androids he is supposed to eliminate. This blurring of lines between human and android emotions raises questions about the nature of empathy and its significance in distinguishing between humans and machines.
I came across an interesting article published in The Lancet https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60144-5/fulltext, which made me think about the purpose of writing. I am curious to know your opinion and to understand what other professionals in the field think.
In my opinion, we write to leave a legacy. Our thoughts and ideas are immortalized in the minds of those who read our work or use our findings to expand their own knowledge. We can measure the impact of our work based on the number of citations we receive, but it's not always an objective measure. Someone can download our work without reading it, or skim through it without really understanding it.
The speed at which scientific articles are produced, with or without the help of AI, is astounding. We produce information that we hope will be useful for others to understand the world around us. As scientists, we share our knowledge and the answers we have found, but we also acknowledge that there is still so much we don't know. We write to be read, to have our ideas challenged, and to contribute to the collective knowledge of humanity. Being cited is a validation of our work, but it's not the only measure of success.
What do you think?
Hace poco encontré este provocador artículo publicado en The Lancet https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60144-5/fulltext, que suscitó preguntarme para qué escribir. Me gustaría conocer su opinión y entender un poco mejor qué opinan colegas del mundo.
No te conozco, pero me gustaría animarte a participar. Empiezo yo:
Considero que escribimos para no morir, es decir que existimos en la mente de quien nos lee o de quien decide citarnos o utilizar nuestras ideas y hallazgos para ir más allá de lo que llegamos nosotros.
Los indicadores se miden, quizá sea esta la razón del creciente interés por medirnos en cantidad de citas, el que nos lean parece que no puede ser medido con la misma objetividad con la que mides si fuiste o no citado, puedes descargar el texto y no leerlo, es posible, o recorrer el texto sin una detenida lectura.
En esta velocidad en la que se producen artículos científicos, con IA (inteligencia artificial) o sin ella, producimos información, aquella que queremos que otro ser humano disfrute y sea útil para comprender lo que desconoce. Pienso que resultado de la investigación como autores compartimos, el pedacito de información que tenemos sobre respuestas a preguntas constantes: no sabemos. Como científicos sabemos unos más que otros que no sabemos en realidad, y nos ubicamos así, al menos yo me ubico así, no sé, y sobre esta posibilidad de que no sé el deseo de saber es grande, por ello, escribo para ser leído, y que otros puedan discutir con lo que pude comprender de esto que estudio: la vida. Si resultado de esto, soy citado esta bien para mi. Qué opinas tú?
I think clearly not. That it would be used in ways we would like is a giant assumption and projection.
Respectfully who agrees that reincarnation is highly improbable? How? Why? My answer: Respectfully, I believe reincarnation is highly improbable for many reasons including but not limited to:
0)Eternal salvation for all is the most probable afterlife.
1)The uniqueness of each organism, meaning if everyone and all organisms are unique then they unlikely share spirits.
1.5)Spirits probably individualize each being.
2)The low probability of absolutes, that would govern the reincarnation cycle, besides, the Holy Trinity(one entity in three different unfalsifiable forms which all double as survival heuristics).
3) More specifically, God the Father is reason, logos, the master of the simulation theory, the creator, Yahweh, and the unmoved mover.
4)Jesus, God the Son, is the perfect individual, humanity’s redeemer, everyone’s savior, and the gate keeper to the fourth dimension(http://www.math.brown.edu/tbanchof/Yale/project13/bible.htm ).
5) The Holy Spirit, the moral guidepost, observably vibes, empathy, etc.
6)My sources are available for more explanation.

ResearchGate is home to subject matter experts from around the globe, with different experiences and areas of expertise. The new year has made me reflect on the perils and opportunities facing us in the years to come, particularly throughout the food-water-energy nexus. What do you all think will be the biggest challenge to humanity in this area in the coming century?
In this research, I propose a visionary approach aimed at cultivating a united and forward-thinking human generation dedicated to ensuring the survival of our species. The strategy involves initiating a comprehensive, community-supported effort to instill a mindset in individuals who will serve as pioneers in the colonization of outer space. Recognizing the inadequacy of short-term planning for potential extinction events, the emphasis is on nurturing a global community mindset devoid of borders and racial distinctions.
To address the complexity of this undertaking, this research suggests a multi-study approach to fully comprehend and implement the vision. While certain steps are achievable in the coming decades, the realization of the ultimate goal relies on the commitment of future generations. The narrative acknowledges the necessity of steering the present society away from a downward trajectory, envisioning a planned human society shaped by a succession of generations. The expectation is that these future generations will either follow the guidance presented in this research or evolve it further based on emerging socio-economic and natural realities.
As an international student in Canada with a background in management and business, my perspective stems from a synthesis of diverse sources. Observing a societal decline towards a historically fortified social system, I am compelled to advocate for a timely and conventional shift in our societies. This research underscores the urgency of action to avert inevitable destruction and chaos, proposing a transformative vision for the collective future of humanity.
As we embark on this visionary exploration of cultivating a united and spacefaring generation, questions naturally arise. Will this research be useful in steering our societies towards a more sustainable future? Are there fellow researchers pursuing similar approaches, and can we join forces for a collective impact? I invite those who resonate with this vision to connect, share insights, and explore avenues of collaboration. Together, we can contribute to shaping a future that transcends boundaries and ensures the survival and prosperity of humanity.
Does a humanitarian element exist in nationalism(nation first), localism(locality first) and universalism(all first, top down ethics) How? Why? My answer: Yes because in each of those value systems, humanity is prioritized even if not considered the most important. One philosophical explanation is humans are all made in God’s image and thus should be kind to each other and dominate other animals.
In your opinion, should the issue of ensuring climate and environmental security for people become part of basic human rights? Should adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the urgent implementation of the green transformation of the economy also be recognized internationally, globally, as the basis for ensuring the conditions of existence for the life of future generations on planet Earth, ensuring the possibility of saving the biosphere, the biodiversity of natural ecosystems and the climate for future generations of people, for reducing the scale of the occurrence of global climate and environmental catastrophe in the near future? Therefore, for all of the aforementioned issues, should they be upgraded and recognized as one of the key factors in ensuring the survival of humanity on the planet and, therefore, recognize that they are important determinants of basic human rights? Recognize the right to clean air, to clean water, to an undestroyed biosphere, to a forest undegraded by predatory management, to an unsterilized soil, etc. as basic human rights, i.e. rights that will ensure human security for future generations of people?
With reference to the article published titled: "HUMAN SECURITY AS AN ELEMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW" of research results on the issue of climate and environmental security, the accelerating process of global warming generated by civilization's greenhouse gas emissions, the increasing scale of the negative effects of the climate crisis, the decreasing scale of human security, the increasing importance and scale of the implementation of the goals of sustainable development and the need to accelerate and increase the efficiency of carrying out the green transformation of the economy, I propose a discussion on the above topic. The research shows that one of the important factors in the increase in the importance and scale of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and the need to accelerate and increase the efficiency of carrying out the green transformation of the economy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, slowing down the process of the planet's greenhouse effect, slowing down the process of global warming, which continues to progress faster and faster, reducing the scale of droughts, forest fires, water shortages, declining production of agricultural crops and other negative effects of progressive and human-induced climate change is to recognize human security as an important factor in the context of legislation and to recognize the issue of ensuring climate and environmental security as an important element of basic human rights. In view of the above, the issue of ensuring climate and environmental security should become part of basic human rights. Adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the urgent implementation of the green transformation of the economy should also be recognized internationally, globally as the basis for ensuring the conditions of existence for the life of future generations on planet Earth, ensuring the possibility of saving the biosphere, the biodiversity of natural ecosystems and the climate for future generations of people, for reducing the scale of the occurrence of global climate and environmental catastrophe in the near future. Therefore, for the aforementioned all issues should be upgraded and recognized as one of the key factors in ensuring the survival of humanity on the planet and, therefore, recognize that these are important determinants of basic human rights. Recognize the right to clean air, to clean water, to an undestroyed biosphere, to a forest undegraded by predatory management, to an unsterilized soil, etc. as basic human rights, i.e. rights that will ensure human security for future generations of people.
These considerations are inspired by the research results contained in my article entitled: "HUMAN SECURITY AS AN ELEMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW"
I invite you to familiarize yourself with the problems of this article. Please respond whether you agree with the above theses? I invite you to discuss and cooperate scientifically in this problematics.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
In your opinion, should the issue of ensuring climate and environmental security become part of basic human rights? Should adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the urgent implementation of the green transformation of the economy also be recognized internationally, globally as the basis for ensuring the conditions of existence for the life of future generations on planet Earth, ensuring the possibility of saving the biosphere, the biodiversity of natural ecosystems and the climate for future generations of people, for reducing the scale of the occurrence of global climate and environmental catastrophe in the near future? Therefore, for all of the aforementioned issues, should they be upgraded and recognized as one of the key factors in ensuring the survival of humanity on the planet and, therefore, recognize that they are important determinants of basic human rights? Recognize the right to clean air, to clean water, to an undestroyed biosphere, to a forest undegraded by predatory management, to unsterilized soil, etc. as basic human rights, i.e. rights that will ensure human security for future generations of people?
Should ensuring climate and environmental security for people become part of basic human rights?
And what is your opinion on this topic?

Counting on your opinions, on getting to know your personal opinion, on a fair approach to the discussion of scientific issues, I deliberately used the phrase "in your opinion" in the question.
The above text is entirely my own work written by me on the basis of my research.
In writing this text I did not use other sources or automatic text generation systems.

How do humanists philosophically justify humanism? How? Why?
Who agrees that humans can never be 100% certain of each other’s ethics, thus humanity punishing itself is always somewhat arbitrary thus God is the ultimate judge? Why? How?
For example, if the consent form says that the data collected from the study will benefit humanity because the investigator will analyze the data and publish it, must the investigator make an honest attempt to do that?
What is the philosophical justification in humanism to possess higher ethical obligations to humans? Why? How?
How does 21st century humanism contrast with biblical teachings?
How connected is the epistemology of Plato's Theory of Forms to the belief in reincarnation? My answer: highly connected since the Indian caste system is very linked to who reincarnated from whom and which segment of the population embodies which of the three deities(Brahmin humanized as priests, Kshatryia humanized as warriors, Viasya humanized as merchants and or landowners, Sudra humanized as commoners, peasants and or servants.
Dear colleagues;
I hope that you're in good health. Due to the fact that we represent a main category in the world, I'd like to discuss with you an important humanitarian issue called "Palestine", The discussion is summarised in just this question:
Why are so many children being killed in Gaza and the whole world in silence?
I know that we have the biggest feature, which is humanity, because researchers without this feature will become monstrous, not human. Therefore, I'd like to ask every researcher in which world place they share with me this issue, which concerns all of humanity as a whole, and everyone who has a compassionate heart for the children who were buried in large numbers under the land of Gaza. Everyone who has a clear mind should think about why we remain silent, and at the moment when we are trying to publish a scientific article, there are laboratories, hospitals, and peaceful places being destroyed without pity or mercy.
I am waiting for your discussion to support this cause based on the spirit of humanity.
Thanks

Biodiversity is often an abstract concept. In my recent essay, I illustrate this vastness, with humans being just a minuscule fraction. Curious? Check it out and share your thoughts: "The Invisible Star in the Sky: Scaling Humanity within Earth's Vast Biodiversity" [https://osf.io/87mgh/]
Remark_1: science is not only about publishing papers dealing with problems that are acceptable (well seeing) by the "normal" academic canon or, on the other hand, with problems that are, relatively speaking, much easier to solve or, at least, it is not highly complicated to try to "solve".
Remark_2: scientists from the developing world, regardless the discipline, might start thinking farther on what does the "hard" Sustainable Development (SD) version mean for their countries, and how bad is to replicate (to support) discourses that comes from communities (whether interested stakeholders, nations, international organizations, think-tanks...) that want to keep the high rates of economic growth regardless any physical, ecological, and climate-based constraints. Much to my regret, there is a concerning amount of advocates to such an approach (outer-space mining) in Latin America as a whole... We need to rethink what development is all about and what will be the fate of the Latin American nations under such sustained trend of a lack of governance of the outer space domain.
- Is it really necessary to go far beyond Earth atmosphere to carry out very risky outer-space mining activities...?
- Why specific sectors are pushing for investing in the outer space mining when it is highly visible and measurable (at naked eye) the amount of thrash that it is piling up and surrounding all cities in the world...?
- What about the amount of metal, plastic and other "strategic" material (including wood/timber) that should be recycled at great scale in all continents and regions in the planet...?
- What education policies should transfer the current effort aimed at funding already useless careers and titles to empower the next generation of skilled workers, technicians, and experts in recycling al at levels of the society....? What impede that transformations in the labor force worldwide...?
- To the fans and advocates of the circular economy scheme: (1) have you already thought about the huge amount of energy that would be required for such a large-scale recycling (The thermodynamics laws always will matter despite economics could claim)...? (2) Shouldn't be a maximum number of human population that make circular economy feasible...? (Human population trends) are not in the equations of the hard SD version). (3) Do we (humans) have time for a step-by-step circular economy development (more action and less "floppy" business papers)...?
As I have pointed out in all my questions, the 2030 SDGs agenda is already compromised and no major advancement is being achieved regarding the speeding up overlapping and non-linear climate and Earth's ecology breakdowns, therefore, why humanity should embark in another wishful-thinking reckless economic push within the "New Space Economy"...?
As we keep trying to keep humans outside the equations..., all what be published regarding sustainability (science), governance, and the so-called cutting-edge research on Climate Policies and Action will be just a futile act of absolute incompleteness and despair.
Thus, I call scholars from all the disciplines to carry out their major effort in adding the humans into their equations (schemes, models) and start writing as we are the root of the current problems , but also the solutions to those human-sparked messes... A major shift must be empowered in the way science is made... Science has being under crisis for twenty years or so... We all know by 2000 the problem will be greater and will advance faster than our potential response as a species... All has been an unprecedented large-scale denial...
Willing to interact to write more realistic (with policy implications) papers and for teaming (network-building) in searching for implementing sound "cutting-edge" research proposals whenever funds will be available.

Hernan L. Villagran
Climate change is one of the most serious challenges humanity has ever faced. To address the problem UN Framework Climate Change Convention was established Climate change education has been a legal obligation of 197 UN climate change convention’s parties for more than 30 years, but in the 2021 UNESCO revision of national curricula from 100 UN countries, nearly 47% of them had no reference to climate change or treated the topic marginally (Getting Every School Climate-Ready: How Countries Are Integrating Climate Change Issues in Education - UNESCO Digital Library, n.d.). Moreover, the UNFCCC reports to IPCC on the countries' progress in the Convention's commitments, usually lacked data appropriate for monitoring climate change education (McKenzie 2021).
The question is why formal education is not used (or: is used rarely) as a tool in efforts to mitigate CC effects?

Humanity likes to identify future potential problems that aren't today's problems and then develop solutions for the potential problems and the "solutions" create real problems that lead to more problems.
Carbon Emissions:
If the goal is to minimize carbon emissions from Earth, then eliminating humanity could accomplish that, to some degree. But, most common sense minds would agree , that doesn't mean that we should eliminate Humanity to reduce carbon emissions.
Life expectancy
To eliminate deaths, all one needs to do is eliminate life, but again, that would appear to be nonsensical.
Waste
To eliminate waste, all production should be eliminated, but that is not really a solution, it creates a problem.
Social differences
To eliminate differences, we could homogenize humanity, remove gender, and force conformity, but not only is that ridiculous, but it would eliminate science and the search for what we di not know.
There's a lot that we could do, but does that mean we should actually do it?
What's the imaginary purpose?
What is the end result sought? Is it perfection? Is it holiness? Is it sameness? Is it econonic power? Is it control? Solving imaginary problems without a real purpose is hardly science or beneficial to anyone other than the one seeking funding to fill one's time with imaginary purpose.
Creators of problems creates purpose:
I believe we (humanity) identify potential problems, and we then create "solutions" for those pretend problems, and it is the "solutions" themselves that become tomorrow's problems, and that is what has given purpose to so many humans, an imaginary purpose of ficticious value, based on the ability to identify problems that don't exist, create "solutions" for the non-existent problems, and then the "solution" becomes the next problem.
Some call this iterative experimentation.
Some call it filling a meaningless life with imaginary purpose between life and death, without ever appreciating life itself.
Just a thought to ponder.
Have a great life!
Humanity has built formal logic with the ineffective elements of two operations. Why? Is this the largest logic algorithm? Or is there a broader algorithm?
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a world facing unprecedented challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, social inequality, and increasing armed conflicts, the role of leadership has never been more critical in shaping a sustainable future for humanity.
Prior research has recognized sustainability as a wicked problem that encompasses numerous dimensions and challenges (Kerekes, 2023; Likhacheva et al., 2023). At its core, sustainability seeks to achieve a harmonious balance between the well-being of present and future generations and the planet's capacity to support life and provide resources. The complexity arises from the intricate interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic systems, with each influencing the others (Metcalf and Benn, 2013) in ways that are unique to each country and region. For instance, financing presents a particularly intricate issue for developing countries and the global south, as they withstand the worst of the impacts of climate change (Aminu et al., 2023).
The knowledge base on sustainability and leadership is growing rapidly, addressing some sustainability dimensions and challenges and relating to managerial leadership, sustainable leadership, leadership for sustainable change, leadership for corporate sustainability, responsible leadership, and ethical and transformational leadership, but mostly on corporate levels and in developing countries (Hallinger and Suriyankietkaew, 2018; Zhao, L. et al., 2023). Furthermore, there is a lack of research on the long-term impact of sustainability strategies and a lack of standardized metrics and measurement tools for assessing sustainable leadership practices poses challenges for evaluating their effectiveness and making meaningful comparisons across organizations.
This Special Issue aims to increase the existing literature on leadership and sustainability focusing on building a better future and touching on areas that have not received adequate attention by using holistic and interdisciplinary research approaches in an attempt to bridge the gaps in this area of research. Although not limited to only these topics, we call for articles addressing:
- Cross cultural and global perspectives of leadership and sustainability and the emergence of leadership and sustainability in developing countries and the role of sociocultural forces in different contexts.
- Multi-level analysis of sustainable leadership (individual, organizational, industry, community, global).
- Long-term impact assessment of sustainable leadership initiatives.
- Leadership and sustainability in non-corporate settings (e.g., non-profits, government, academia).
- Technology and innovation to support and develop leadership and sustainability for a better future.
- Corporate social responsibility and sustainable leadership.
- Challenges and barriers to future leaders of sustainability.
- Challenges and role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in sustainable development.
- Entrepreneurial leadership and sustainable development.
- Sustainability strategies, governance, policy-making, and effective practices.
- Globalisation, multinational companies and sustainable planning and implementation of sustainable policy.
- Assessment and review of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), countries performance and future development.
- Environmental challenges as financial opportunities in the modern financial system.
- Circular economy, sustainable consumption, co-creation, coproduction, and collaboration for sustainability.

What are the key challenges and limitations in developing AGI, and how can they be overcome? What role will AGI play in shaping the future of humanity, and what are the implications of its potential emergence for our long-term survival and flourishing?
Can artificial intelligence machines completely surpass humanity and replace it in the economic fields?
Dear researchers, I have been working on exact solution methods of partial differential equations for more than 10 years. I noticed that the researchers working in this field are always people from a certain geography, such as Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, etc. Why a German, English, or Japanese researchers do not study these topics? Do you think that our work really contributes to science and humanity? I am looking forward to your valuable comments.
Uncontrolled development of AI - artificial intelligence is a very dangerous thing!
👉 Dangerous to humanity, really, I say that as a person from the IT sector, as someone who spent the first half of his life (39 years) well, the last 25, spent in IT, passed all levels of formal education, passed university teaching positions... etc. .
To learn robots write and walk, and not our children, or gave them smartphones instead of time in nature? So sad ... and most people doesn't have time really?!
‼️ I think most people are not aware...
• One does not need to be overly intelligent to see what is happening, that we need to react and slow down or indeed put a moratorium on the uncontrolled (I will add insane) development of AI.
Of course, such development (if it is development at all?!) humanity does not need, except for those with a bad ultimate intention for all of us as a human species.
Imagine if, as a side effect of all this, it would be the "end of the world", and we would then call ourselves the most intelligent beings on Earth? We!? 😡
"Should we allow machines to flood our information channels with propaganda and untruths? Let chaos ensue.
Should we automate all jobs, including those that fill people's lives with meaning?
Should we develop non-human minds that could eventually outnumber, outsmart, outdate and replace us?
Should we risk losing control of our civilization?
👉 The letter has so far been signed by more than 27,500 people, including the author of several bestsellers such as Sapiens Yuval Noah Harari, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn and numerous artificial intelligence researchers such as Stuart Russell, Yoshua Bengio, Gary Marcus and Emad Mostaque." IndexHr
‼️ Personally, I would sign this letter and topics without thinking, because we are not even aware that at some point even that will be impossible.
👉 This is not a conspiracy theory, these are the facts today!
Also, take part in discusion and thank you. 🙏
💕 Let's think about the future in time, please. 🙏

What are the available and possible tools to face this thrust the world is witnessing today? Is it satisfying to merely describe and study the details and their accumulation? Or is it that reality imposes several facts that are in the same direction of the new ones. The era of rationality that humanity has first dedicated since the 17th century and according to Toynbee, was principally based upon (thinking power). ( Richard Paul, 2007, p 137) , According to Toynbee, the British historian, man should be keen on developing it, and promoting it through programs and plans that enable it to be part of the societal and cultural system, not merely a slogan, that advocates an emerging idea or trend.
In a world characterized by uncertainty and change, sustainable innovations are a key factor for the future of our humanity. A new mindset and approach to innovation is needed to find sustainable solutions that meet both environmental and social needs.
What is your meanings, informations and suggestions?
What is the most important unsolved problem of humanity and why?
Humanity has no options in the event of the power of the artificial intelligence software revolution and the imposition of choices on it!
In your opinion, the impact of chatGPT on the future of humanity can be positive or negative, and what impact can it have on education?
What profound and timeless words of wisdom, shared throughout history by notable figures and thinkers, have had the most profound impact on shaping our understanding of life, guiding our actions, and inspiring humanity to strive for greatness?
How has technology (the tools that humans build) help moved humanity forward throughout the long history of the past 12,000 years? All major epochal shifts in human society revolve around significant shifts in:
- How energy is converted into something of service (a plough, the automobile, airplanes and the space shuttle are examples);
- How communication takes place and how ideas spread (smoke signals, newspapers, landline phone, fax machine, mobile phone, Internet, Twitter);
- How history is recorded (papyrus scrolls, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, the blockchain); or,
- How the exchange of value is recorded (bartering, coins, central banks, cryptocurrencies and Single, Double and Triple Entry Accounting).

What evidence is there to suggest that knowledge is either independent of humanity or connected to humans?
Hello
In what ways is Artificial Intelligence (AI) serving humanity globally? Can someone explain the process easily?.
- How do we ensure that humanity flourishes in the cities of the future?
- How do social identities contribute to or inhibit inclusive digital governance?
- What abilities would a machine need to have before we had say that it had a human-like conscious mind?
We all witness the expansion of AI and Robotics intertwined into Trans-humanity effort by some.
What is the point?
Why would Trans-human be of interest?
It is a desire to see the negatives of humanity, not the blessings.
I love the imperfections of humanity that makes life random, enjoyable and dynamic, not programmed.
Can AI robots enjoy life? Only if they are programmed with the programmer's bias. What an awful existence. No freewill. No tolerance for humanity- just programmed algorithms. What a shame.
I do not believe in trans humanity as a desired product, vision or direction for the world to embark on... I view it as an outward expression of anger from within by people who can't adapt in natural life.
Opposing opinions welcomed...
Do you agree with me that academics and researchers should make their research real data from the reality of the situation and work, and bear the concern of humanity and the suffering of people in order to meet acceptance and the possibility of change for the better, God willing?
Climate change is a real challenge to humanity and it is getting the necessary attention. Scientists and leaders are looking for adaptation strategies to reduce the impacts of climate risks, which is the right thing to do.
To me, population growth is the other real and important challenge to humanity and ecological sustainability. However, I always fail to understand why scientists and global leaders are not paying the necessary attention to this issue and not allocating adequate resources to proper regulation before it is too late. What are your thoughts on this matter?
What are your wiews regarding the statement " The global shrinkage of distances via Air/Ground/Sea traffic over the applications of IT/AI increased the access of humanic miseries very common for everyone on the globe".
To me, these (e.g., COVID-19, Some WARS...) are mostly due to the impacts of information technology and artificial technology applications.
Reflections on Recent Waves of Persecution of Baha'is in Iran
Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, there have been numerous accounts of the persecution of the Baha'is and other religious minorities in Iran. In an article, the Norwegian journalist Johannes Morken (2022) poses an important question. He writes: "Who will stand against the persecution of religious minorities in Iran?"[1]Considering the current political conditions of the world, I would like to expand on Morton's question by offering a new question: Who is/are responsible for the required changes in today's world?
Persecuting "others" is a fundamental issue we can observe daily in headlines. Humanity has created strong binaries such as minority/majority, west/east, first /third world, poor/reach, and woman/man. This list goes on to distinguish "us" from "other" to express who is right/wrong and to control the thoughts and actions of individuals and groups. Conflict and duality are accepted as the mainspring of human interaction in contemporary society, which echoes a materialistic and narrow interpretation of human life.

I very often analyze the economic cycles, in particular the long Schumpeter and Kondratieff cycles. According to many calculations, another upward rebound (recovery) related to the technological breakthrough should occur in the 2020-2030 decade. In my opinion, the events, turbulences in the world economy and politics of 2020-2022 that we are witnessing should result in groundbreaking consequences for humanity and, in accordance with the Kondratieff cycle, give a new development impulse. A particularly important factor accelerating the discovery and search for alternative fuels nowadays are very high price fluctuations and the limited availability of such fuels as crude oil and natural gas, which for some aggressive regimes have become a kind of international weapon and blackmail. In your opinion, what technologies, new types of energy will bring the transition to a higher level of civilization, or maybe save our world from a climate disaster and the destruction of humanity caused by pollution and climate warming?
Non-native English teachers are often regarded as not as competent as native teachers especially when considering their accent, pronunciation and English language abilities : what do you think about this issue ?
Eco-training in Pestalozzi: without love, without the acceptance of the other at our side, there is no socialization, and without socialization there is no humanity. Understanding the phenomenon of love and its ethical implications in the identity between action and knowledge, understanding that every human act.
Our school system basically a predominant of societal role with respect to boundary of country but not at all globally.Designed of communicating in various subject compelled with many language acquired and applicability of in various discipline.Integrity of learning and mankind are retrospective.
This is my project of Focus for humanity, especially those whom are students in need of a DOE school; however, this will do for all humanity that needs to grow academically.

As science is principally aimed to help developing life facilities for human being through widening and enhancing our knowledge of what is happening, happened, and will happen in the future, I wonder if scientific research in the last decades is really oriented to achieve its goals. Can you give me your feedback on this subject matter?
Is it ethical to develop artificial intelligence, robots, and automation technologies that result in the loss of jobs for humans?
Please express your thoughts.
Recently I finished my paper, where I use statistical analysis of Earth's evolutionary history (Mostly Theia's collision, Rare Earth, and a few important extinction events) to prove that humanity is the only civilization in the observable universe. Specifically, I argue that civilization is at least a 1 in (4 * 10^42) chance, yet there are only 10^22 stars in the observable universe, therefore we are alone.
I tried getting this published, but it looks like its going to be harder then expected for a few reasons:
1. I graduated in 2020 and have a bachelors in computer science, so publishers probably see me as risky (considering the contents of the paper).
2. My writing and citation style is unorthodox.
3. The paper should probably be broken up into 5 separate papers, but I tried to essentially publish 5 ground-breaking ideas all in one paper.
That being said, I do not have time to fix these problems, because I am currently dedicating all of my effort to researching a relatively unrelated topic that takes priority.
Essentially, I am looking for a few capable researchers to pick up where I left off. I have about 3 leads for other events that might follow the 30% rule and a couple of other leads worth investigating. So ultimately I want a small group of researchers to investigate my leads, and get the ideas published. In return, you would essentially get some credit for the publications (I do not have any financial incentives, I am broke).
for anyone interested, please send me an email with a link to some of your work and an aspect of the paper you found interesting.
Email: jsoffaclarke@sandiego.edu
Additionally, please feel free to ask any questions about the paper or bring up any possible counterarguments. I'll try to answer to anyone who is curious!
Thanks

The most fundamental essence of humanity is to strive towards "the freedom of the will", based on real knowledge of the world and of itself– a subjectivity and the dialectical unity of the opposites of the objectivity of blind Nature (and as a part of Nature itself); in this infinite, eternal and ever-changing universe. This essence is an acquired ability that allows man to effectively change the conditions of his physical, mental and social existence based on the positive knowledge of the world and of himself (as a social being); in such a way as to progressively reduce the contradiction between subjective man and objective Nature, between humanity and the world, but never completely eliminating it.
This necessarily is a complex of historical processes of “being” and “knowing”; mediated by dialectical chance and necessity and taking place in a temporarily life-harbouring celestial body where the subjectivity of life can evolve through discrete evolutionary leaps from blind non-living matter to the highest developed product of matter, namely the thinking brain of man.
The most decisive factor in the evolution of this subjective “being” came with the bipedal (erect) stature in man, which made his hands free (a giant leap towards freedom) for further subjective acts and developments; that enhanced both his “being” and his “knowing”. The final act through which man forever separated himself from the animal kingdom and towards more freedom; was the mastery over one of the forces of Nature, namely heat (fire). The development of the dexterity and the manipulating skills of the hand necessitated the revolutionary development of the brain and with it speech. The developed brain gave man enhanced ability for abstraction, reflection, introspection and communication etc. that in a reciprocal way led to the further development of the brain and also gave the hand “the high degree of perfection required to conjure into being the pictures of a Raphael, the statues of a Thorwaldsen, the music of a Paganini”*.
But this journey towards freedom so far was not a smooth one-way process only, without any loss! On the contrary there were dialectical and historical twists and turns, ups and downs and the loss of many important specific traits (that are necessary for sustaining lower life forms); on the way to the evolution of man. Moreover new and evolving constrains on knowledge and developments imposed both by Nature and by man himself stood in his way towards freedom. The more damaging were the self-made constrains known as the alienations. The alienations are creations of man for his own need of the time, but those creations at a certain stage of their development goes out of his control as if an entity coming from outside and like a Frankenstein Monster sets itself to control its creator. Historically; Myths, Religion, Class Division, Capital, State etc., were the most potent alienations that impeded the progress towards knowledge and freedom. In modern times the most dominant alienation is Capital, in its most regressive monopoly-finance form.
By the turn of the 20th century the social development of humanity and the accumulation of positive knowledge, created the sufficient stage from where man for the first time in history can envision the tangible contour and the clear path forward towards a mighty leap to freedom. But the vestiges of the old alienations, particularly decadent monopoly finance capitalism newly reinforced by the myths of obscurantist mathematical idealism stand in his way.
The accumulated knowledge, specially of the last few thousand years has given man the potential to vastly change the conditions of his existence by changing himself and Nature; thereby diminishing the contradiction between Nature and man; but at the same time also has equally given him enough potential to destroy himself and all other life forms on this planet!
* “The Part Played by Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man”; F. Engels, 1876
Immunity rules have always been quite controversial. Many scholars believe that to grant immunity to eg, Head of State or other state officials goes contrary to the fundamental principle of justice and human rights, especially if those state officials are charged with crimes of jus cogens status.
So, does this mean, immunity should be denied as a defence to charges involving of allegation of crimes of jus cogens status (eg, genocide, crimes against humanity etc) regardless of the national or international character of the jurisdiction concerned?
After some research, I have learned that if two parties at disputes are two states, then the other state always has to respect the immunity of the other state (due to the principle of state sovereignty and equality-eg, Arrest Warrant Case). But eg, if an arrest warrant was issued by the International Criminal Court, the answer will be different. Al Bashir Case showed how the ICC denied immunity as a defence by getting around with Art. 98 of the Rome Statute.
Several initiatives between countries to combat the virus, along with the greater solidarity of people and companies, has brought out the best in humanity. Can these elements be seen as the basis for a better post-pandemic world?
Humanity was under exceptional stress the last 2 years. All the world’s population . Authorities tried to cope with various degrees of successes or failures. did they succeed .?did they win or loose as far as confidence in their actions are concerned.
Aggression is one of the core international crimes as Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity and war crimes.
Music, Literature, Painting, Sculpture and Cinema represent centuries of Culture of Humanity, in its most diverse manifestations and practically all peoples. Are these elements to be taken into account for the personal enhancement of the Researchers?
If all human beings are united by the Internet and social networks, wars can be considered much more difficult as there will be plenty of information among the citizens who support the rulers.
A 1972 MIT model (see the book "Limits to Growth") predicted the societal collapse in the 21st century. Since 1972, that model was updated several times with available data.
The last update came in 2020 (Herrington G. Update to limits to growth: Comparing the world3 model with empirical data. J Ind Ecol. 2020;1–13. https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13084; See also https://advisory.kpmg.us/articles/2021/limits-to-growth.html).
Here is a summary.
"The two scenarios aligning most closely with observed data indicate a halt in welfare, food, and industrial production over the next decade or so, which puts into question the suitability of continuous economic growth as humanity's goal in the twenty-first century." "The scenario with the smallest declines aligned least with empirical data."
"The four scenarios diverge significantly more after 2020, suggesting that the window to align with this last scenario is closing."
"If humanity kept pursuing economic growth without regard for environmental and social costs, global society would experience a sharp decline (i.e., collapse) in economic, social, and environmental conditions within the twenty-first century."
What do you think about this research? Do you see any flaws in data, methodology?
They say we were just speaking and not writing anything for tens of thousands of years till a basic form of writing evolved just about ten thousand years back. Why this yawning gap ?
Supposedly Pioneer 10 will fly to the nearest Alfa Centauri constellation for about 10,000 years.
Will humanity manage to build a new generation of space ships that will be able to overcome such huge distances in the galaxy many times faster?
When could this happen?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

At the moment we hear a lot about artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is an awesome development, unimaginable completely or partially, now. How and when humans will gain the benefits of the Used Technology? We don't know yet. You can imagine many useful applications. For the benefit of all humanity. However: Everything in life has positive and negative aspects, has pros and cons. Recently I read the books: Cathy O’Neil Weapons of math Destruction: How Big data increases inequality and threatens democracy (recommended me by Marco Rao in another discussion here in RG) or published this year: Frank Schätzing: “Die Tyrannei des Schmetterlings” (“The tyrannies of the butterfly”. Inspired by that, I attended a lecture by a mathematician about machine learning yesterday. He talked about different methods and algorithms. I’m not a mathematician, but I learned a lot. A current application example for machine learning has made me think: With the methods of machine learning, it is decided for patients after a stroke, who gets a rehabilitation and with whom this is no longer worthwhile. Parameters such as age, various body parameters and the current state after the stroke are included in these forecasts. This is really being used in Germany. My mother (77 years) had a stroke in 2011. According to the survey of the health insurance company, she should only receive a three-week rehabilitation, but not for three months. We asked the surveyor of the health insurance why she does not get the longer and thus better rehabilitation program. He answered that the prognoses for this group of patients are worse A major rehabilitation would not be worthwhile. Now I understood what happened then: Machine learning, algorithms have decided how my mother is treated! By the way, the story went well: My brother is a doctor. He fought for my mother to get the big three-month rehabilitation. She was completely well again, could do everything alone again and lived well for four more years. Machine learning and algorithms would not have given her that opportunity. But I’m very, very thoughtful. Everything in life has positive and negative aspects, has pros and cons. What wins in the end depends on many circumstances! The positive can only succeed if the negative is reduced or eliminated. Therefore, one must also look at the negative, make aware, know. You cannot ignore it. Do not close one's eyes to potential problems. Possibilities and limitations of new technologies. How much control must and can humans keep about processes? Can models, computers and algorithms really everything as more and more is suggested? And is the result compelling in the sense of mankind? Or do the technologies create a reality that is logically and correct in the sense of artificial intelligence? May be artificial intelligence develops its own value frame and own rules? Because artificial intelligence has to learn and develop independently in order to be... What do you think?
"THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY SCIENTIFIC QUESTION"
I personally have two strategies, I give lectures aimed at Children and Young people and I make these lectures available (presentations) for other people to use in other places in world, translating into their own languages, trying to use more images than text.
Tell us what your strategies are, share with RG so that we can have more researchers and that Childrens and Youth people can see that it is a "nice" option to be a researcher and contribute to the development of humanity!
Source links of my documents, there are 7 (seven) documents (Childrens and Young People) within section called Presentations. Hope they can be helpful.
We are making progress in every field but rather we are forgetting our our goal our own humanity we are treating each other like ......
The African philosophy of Ubuntu is highly praised for its understanding of one's humanity as the capacity to recognise the other. What is the link between Ubuntu and gender? Is Ubuntu gender neutral, liberative or oppressive? Any resources, ideas, articles and theories towards this end will be much appreciated.
On White Supremacy:
The obsession as to whether human-kind is fundamentally bad or good has preoccupied scholars for millennia. This can be traced back to the Catholic theologian, Augustine (354-430), who believed that men and women are basically bad, all born into original sin, and therefore require close supervision by which to cleanse their souls. In the enlightened age, intellectuals such as Rousseau (1712-1778) came up with the counter argument defending the premise that human-kind is basically good, an ethos that has been adopted by many liberal societies of today even if only by lip-service. We know that if one wants an economy that is maximally uncreative and unproductive, totalitarianism (left or right driven) is the best political system by which to achieve this. Here a minority of the population under its leadership employs all the state’s resources to control the majority under the assumption that the majority has ‘bad habits’ that must be altered and if not possible contained using police-state tactics. Such a society is unsustainable, as we witnessed with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in December 1991.
So, what about White Supremacy. This viewpoint has a long history in the United State going back to the age of slavery [1620 to 1865] when Black people (including their children) were sold and killed like cattle. At its zenith in 1860, some 13% of the US population, 4 million people of a population of 31 million, were enslaved. Shortly after the passage of the 13th Amendment (which was meant to end slavery in 1865) segments of the White population resisted this policy by forming the Ku Klux Klan who adopted an Augustine-viewpoint that led to the mass lynching of mainly Black males that continued well into the mid-20th Century. According to the Equal Justice Initiative (2017), 4084 African-Americans were lynched between 1877 and 1950, mainly in the Southern United States. In the 1960’s three acts were passed by Congress to remedy this bad history: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
Now let us fast forward to the Age of Trump (2016-2020). Donald Trump, an Independent, became a Republican so that he could win the presidential election in November 2016. His madness, which includes racism, bigotry, and contempt for women, is expressed regularly via Twitter and Fox News. This madness has now been amplified by the recent killing of an African American man, George Floyd, who was caught on camera being suffocated by a Minneapolis police officer. With Christian Bible in hand and in front of St. Johns church in Washington DC, Trump declared (much like Hitler did during his rallies in the 30 and 40’s) that he would impose law and order on the masses who are protesting the killing of George Floyd. So far, 10,000 protesters have been arrested by police (Aljazeera, June 4, 2020). The ~ 25,000 White Supremacist of America are standing by to see whether Trump can create an opportunity for them to return America to its roots: by having a large segment of the population (mainly immigrant and non-White) be put under the control of a White minority to satisfy (unbeknown to them) the dictates of the Catholic theologian, Augustine (354-430). If you believe in humanity and its sustainability, you can never allow this to happen since this is a recipe to continuous warfare, much like what goes on in the Middle East today.
The United Nations says we could have just 12 years left to limit a climate change catastrophe. The climate emergency has resulted from humans putting additional greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. These have heated our planet and at current levels are already a true disaster on a global scale. Unless removed, these gases will result in a level of global warming that will be catastrophic for humanity and much of the world's remaining ecosystems. http://www.caceonline.org/what-is-the-climate-emergency.html
Deep thinking is best described as going beyond what you can easily see and think of. But deep thinking demands that we ignore popular slogans and preconceived ideas because neither one knows or can discover the truth. Only people who have the capacity to think deeply feel free to dive into the raging seas of knowledge, discover the truth and prepare humanity to face the ever-increasing challenges of everyday life. Nations that think that building a better future can only be achieved by reviving the glory of the past are utterly misguided; they are wasting their time, ignoring the great minds they have, and undermining the future of future generations.
Are there any study about these issues?
Only a decade or two ago it was widely thought that tropical forests and intact natural environments teeming with exotic wildlife threatened humans by harboring the viruses and pathogens that lead to new diseases in humans like Ebola, HIV, and dengue.
But a number of researchers today think that it is actually humanity’s destruction of biodiversity that creates the conditions for new viruses and diseases like COVID-19, the viral disease that emerged in China in December 2019, to arise—with profound health and economic impacts in rich and poor countries alike. In fact, a new discipline, planetary health, is emerging that focuses on the increasingly visible connections among the well-being of humans, other living things and entire ecosystems.
Is it possible, then, that it was human activity, such as road building, mining, hunting, and logging, that triggered the Ebola epidemics in Mayibout 2 and elsewhere in the 1990s and that is unleashing new terrors today?
