Humanity has many recognitions of valuable merits and contributions to a better world: for example the Man of the Year award, the Nobel and other prestigious prizes. This is good for human progress and should be fostered, well studied and even become a field applicable to all segments of human life, a science of rewards or meritology, a new major human discipline. It could be taught in Universities.

On the other hand there should also be a science or discipline of dishonors, disapprovals, demerits and condemnations. These could be proclaimed both for individuals and for institutions. Philanthropists could finance centers around the world which would make proposals for honors and dishonors.

The Linguist Noam Chomsky
For centuries experts held that every language is unique. Then one day in 1956, a young linguistics
professor gave a legendary presentation at MIT. He argued that every intelligible sentence conforms
not only to the rules of its particular language but to a universal grammar that encompasses all languages.

And rather than absorbing language from the environment and learning to communicate by imitation,
children are born with the innate capacity to master language, a power imbued in our species
by evolution itself. Almost overnight, linguists' thinking began to shift."
