Dava's Treaties on the Truth of Humanity
David Shaw. 43yo . Scottish.
The Truth of Humanity
it is an overwhelming fact of life.'
This fact cannot be contested it is so inalienably true.
-
I will endeavor to continue this, that each idea presented here is an inalienable universal truth.
Politicians should protect primarily the beliefs of the people they represent, as society itself is based on belief. Each and every person on the planet requires resources, so it follows politicians represent a function of society to achieve satisfactory provision of resources while preserving the beliefs of the people they represent.
The Earth has limited resources. It is our home. As human beings increase in number; the Earth must provide more resources to sustain these new humans.
The Solar system has unquantifiably large resources, more than enough for humans. Water is abundant which can provide oxygen and hydrogen once diffused.
In all the universe we look for other intelligent life. This being said; we know human beings represent a unique consciousness in our solar system, so it follows, every life has value and all lives must be sustained; without question. But more than that..
Every second of every human life is precious.
It is a universal truth that humans in our natural state; our time is metered. We will die. So the value of those moments *must* be infinite, because it doesn't matter what your neighbour thinks what your life is worth, to you it is your consciousness and existence.
Every human being has the right to be their natural self.. what we humans colloquially call 'happy'.
If your neighbor has provide your every meal without choice, they then effectively become your servant.
In the system I suggest, everyone is rewarded, no one is punished or forced to be servants to either their neighbour or money for the betterment of humanity.
In systems of social improvement, exploitation *must* happen.. however I suggest we exploit not a person or persons, but the Solar system itself to pay for our embetterment and growth as an aware species.
So we provide for all through exploitation of our solar system, and in doing so we give all the freedom to live their life as they see fit; without servitude.. and we do not make anyone pay for it, we pay for our needs through said exploitation of the solar system and so no one need pay tax ever again.

The ultimate job of politicians is to, gain resources, protect culture and bring freedom to order. Politicians must provide order through policing and rehabilitation or incarceration.
So the goals are clear:
1. resources
2. culture
3. freedom within order.
Eventually the Earth will no longer be able to sustain mankind. Even sooner than this, the quality of life will become worse as we try to sustain the humans we have.
There are business that pollute the Earth. However these pollutants, such as CFCs in different atmospheres (Mars, Venus) would not pollute but be absorbed. Businesses could move to Mars and put CFCs into the atmosphere and raise Mars' temperature. Allowing them to continue making their products, attaining profit, all the while improving Mars' atmosphere for human habitation.
Our Earth, Our Moon, Our Sun.. these are nicknames, personable love for our home, but if we are from Mars the moons are Deimos and Phobos.. in the future instead of 'earth' martian humans may have a nickname for Mars.. like Red or Big Red, but it's name will always be 'Mars'.
Our Earth's official name is Terra. Our Moon's official name is Luna. Our Sun's official name is Sol; our system is 'the Sol system'.
As an aside.. I would encourage those with wisdom to call the inner asteroid belt; 'The Sol Belt'. because 'Asteroid Belt' is far to generic and has a fumbling short-sightedness towards the future. I suggest 'Asteroid Belt' be demoted to a nickname.. like 'Earth', 'Moon' and 'Sun' are those bodies nicknames while the official name being The Sol Belt.
Crime and Punishment
Criminals who are removed from society will not offend against society again. But as moral humans we must differentiate between, damage to property and damage to human life.
Theft of all kinds should be treated as damage to property and so non-violent. Everything that is not unique can be replaced.
Murder is damage to human life.
So .. some politicians argue this. some argue that. Human beings once dead cannot be replaced. This is a fact.
I contend that the power be given to judges, but not of any other culture but judge *only* the culture they were borne by and grown by and reside in, that the power is given to judges for a sentence of imprisonment by mining intersolar resources to pay not only for their own life but to provide for humans.
No prison escape could ever be planned. Space is too hostile. Escape means death.
Human life is beyond measure. Damage to property should never result in death.
Matters that must be judged:
Dealing narcotics.. did they result in death?
Death in Adultery.. was the murder a crime of passion?
Adultery..did the partner suffer, did it ruin a family?
Environmental damage.. did anyone die? Should the board be imprisoned for misconduct leading to damage of human life?
Resources and Prestige
What do humans require?
Resources and prestige, what resources do humans require and how they be motivated to attain resources and provide services to other humans once they have every resource provided to them?
Humans require:
Nourishment & Hydration
Warmth & Clothing
Land
Housing (enough to rear many children)
Energy/electricity
Hygiene
Hygiene
Medical/Dental
Education
Transportation
Liberty in movement, work & residence
Providing these things is a not a light proposition. It takes an entire society to provide a high quality of life for human beings.
Human beings crave prestige; the thought that their society values them.. this is not an absolute law, but an allure of immortality in remembrance. Prestige provides such a thing. To be greatly valued in a field while alive and remembered once dead.
Society must provide a reward whilst giving everything required for human comfort. The reward must be greater liberty in exchange for work.
I propose that we humans work 'terms'.. a term would be 4 years. A system of prestige should be devised to give a worthy reward.
Not purely meritorious or a meritocracy, intent should be rewarded. Not to punish those who can't or won't .. but always reward those who do. If you have a qualification in a field and pursue that field.. it is a profession. It shouldn't matter what that field is..bee keeping to spear making to curator of a private museum. If you have a degree and have pursued it as a profession.. you get a term for every 4 years. In society people themselves will decide what they think of other people's terms..
I have a Vocational Degree in Sound Engineering and Music Production. Working in the arts is always difficult to find regular employ and the artist temperament means we take longer to digest before we share. I would say for artists a lighter social requirement be placed for proof of work but a longer gestation per term. I suggest 10 years .The Arts are not a dangerous profession, it is unlikely the person would die before completing quite a few terms.
What are the greatest gifts politicians can provide for us?
Answer: as many children as we wish, sustenance for said children and maximum liberty within society.
Money brings personal empowerment over quality of life and so aspiration & liberty. Money brings a human psychological quality of trade and trade brings peace. But no human must be under threat.. to threaten humans is to provoke war. .
We must take threat out of the equation, but still maintain society, We do this in how we structure reward. If someone is told they may not go to Mars unless they have first provided at least 1 term, they cannot have an 'off-world' permit and they want to go to another intersolar body, the drive they feel *may* urge them to work at least 1 term.
I want to use words that are easier to communicate, I want to say; we have *near* unlimited resources; it would take thousands and thousands of years to use up those resources even with an excessive population. So when I say 'near unlimited' this is what I mean.
We have enough resources in the solar system that human beings can live a high quality of life, each and every one without threat of death or threat of liberty or threat of war.
Human beings as far as facts provided so far, are the only fully conscious beings in the universe.. as far as we know. Each human is precious. We should allow humans who do not contribute to society to continue their lives. We do not reward such behaviour but we do not punish it with threat of deprivation of necessities also.
Human beings should have the *right* to a high quality of life and very long life expectancy. Every human.Without exception.
Only those who jeopardize life should then have their life jeopardize. Only those who jeopardize liberty should then have their liberty jeopardize.
One is old, one is new.
The idea of an 'Army' or 'Navy' or 'Airforce' is outdated the second we have access to near unlimited resources. These brave patriotic people will still exist as a strata of future society, however their job to protect their country and by evil politicians gain resources for only their country should end.
In the past war was a tool to gain resources and end in peace. This costs human life.
As a member of our Service, you should abhor war.. why? because war ends peace, every soldier's end goal is peace, but by providing near unlimited resources no politician will ever have the excuse to require making war with another country.
So logically it follows that a unified Service controlled by one world body would end war. Every enlistment would be to the Service and no country would have their own military and so cannot go to war.
Every one of the Service is taught these principals:
1. War is a useless antiquated expression of ego at the cost of human life.
2. War means the extinction of humankind, because as war functions to gain resources, we will continue use war as a method to gain resources and so never leave this planet.
Weapons of war upon the planet could kill the entire human population and this will escalate with man's better understanding of science eventually through human error and arrogance we will destroy ourselves, it is inevitable.
3. Humans killing humans is wrong. I believe in divine providence. I currently know of no politicians that are 'divine'. No soldier *wants* to kill anyone. They *love* to protect and preserve their countries way of life.
4. If a Service person is told to be dutiful to a politician.. no matter that politicians rank, that Service MUST disobey that politician, and I will explain why here:
Politicians are no longer in charge of you, let the World Council that operates the Service issue your directives and orders. By listening to a politician you risk ending world peace. It just takes one Service.. one person makes a decision to listen to a politician and a moment later.. a million million people are dead, displaced, dying, sick, children are malnourished .. because ONE lone Service was foolish enough to obey a politician.
War is obsolete. Why is a politician issuing you orders?
Will it gain more resources for humankind and so cause more peace? no.
Let the police and justice system deal with those who disobey your laws and in other countries their police will deal with those who disobey their laws.
The saying goes: Not my table, not my problem.
The World Council only have control of the Service so long as they maintain world peace. So long as they facilitate providing resources for everyone. Even one Service could bring down the World Council in a day by obeying a politician.
The World Council is unfit for purpose IF:
1. They do not maintain peace.
2. They do not provide sufficient resources management and distribution.
3. They do not provide liberty within the confines of society and local culture.
War is obsolete. Why are you asked to kill anyone?
The Service's job is to protect humans, to gain intersolar resources to maintain world peace.
The Service's job is NOT to kill anyone. The Service *may* be armed as an extreme precaution to stop people at Spaceports acting strangely.
You may be a engineer, security, medical .. if you are security your job is to simply stop idiotic behaviour in space and on intersolar bodies. Civilian areas should be pretty 'idiot proof' having nothing they can touch to cause trouble.
And finally..
The worth of Humanity as a race of beings can be summed up thusly: If we stay on this rock, fighting over this rock.. and die on this rock. maybe we weren't worth it after all.
If we value life by valuing each other and spread out across our solar system and eventually the stars.. then maybe we were.
