[GMW #4561] Think Constantly Of A Better Future For Humanity & Nature

[GMW #4561] Think Constantly Of A Better Future For Humanity & Nature  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4551 ~
The Earth:
"Dear Robert, you are here for a weekend in Manuel Antonio, one of what humans call a prestigious sea resort on my surface. Here you can see the vast Pacific Ocean, the greatest of the two thirds of my water covered surface. What are you feeling?"

I:
I prefer the mountains, sacred Mt. Rasur and the UN University for Peace, which are closer to the heavens and have a purer air.  There one thinks constantly of one's future and of the future of humanity.

Here, with all these hotels, motels, advertisements and eco-tourism one almost wishes that humans would cease growing in numbers.

The Earth:
"Well, it has started: the western population is expected to diminish by 40 million between now and the year 2050."

The time dimension of human disciplines varies enormously:  the exact sciences are generally very future oriented, while the social sciences usually relish with the past and with limited areas.  In order to foster the emergence of a global human family and prepare for proper Earth government we need more future oriented social sciences.  In particular we need:

a global anthropology
a global philosophy
a global sociology
a global psychology
a global spirituality, etc.

Margaret Mead used to say to her students:
"Go and study the United Nations which is for young anthropologists today what New Guinea was during my youth."

We don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.

The extreme span and diversity of our knowledge is luckily accompanied by an extreme diversity of human capacities and inventions.

We have sufficiently diverse talents and professions to deal with the complexity.  We have telescopes and space probes to study the universe, satellites to observe our planet, microscopes, PicoScopes and bubble chambers to study the infinitely small; we have the necessary computers to store our immense knowledge and make calculations of which our brain would not be capable.

For all practical purposes, we have become a new species with tremendously expanded senses, transformative and reactive capacities, and global means of forecasting, action, adaptation and course correction.

[GMW #4159] Write Proposals, Ideals And Ideas For A New Human Society That Nurtures Earth & Humanity

[GMW #4159] Write Proposals, Ideals And Ideas For A New Human Society That Nurtures Earth & Humanity Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4506 ~
There are innumerable humans working on new inventions, technologies, industries, businesses, marketing, advertising and selling products, and very few who deal with society, the political system, the public institutions of humanity.

Regarding the latter nothing is supposed to happen, no change, no novelty, no improvement, no updating.  This is likely to soon result in a disaster for humanity. 

Please sociologists, political scientists, philosophers and psychologists, write down your proposals, ideals and ideas for a new human society as required by the totally new global problems facing the Earth and humanity.  I have formulated mine as a world servant. I felt it to be my duty, the legacy of my life in the stream of time and evolution.

There is no need for a new revolutionary expansion of the human brain in order to grasp the unprecedented complexities of our human and planetary conditions. We must learn to reorganize our brain and to utilize it better.  There is need also to recognize the birth of a global brain of which the UN and its agencies are the nascent core.  The dinosaurs died out because their brains were too small.  The human species might die too if it does not acquire and nourish a greatly expanded, improved global brain.

It is that range of biodiversity
that we must care for
-- the whole thing --
rather than just one or two stars.

[GMW #4158] World Core Curriculum Of Global Knowledge For All Children Of The World

[GMW #4158] World Core Curriculum Of Global Knowledge For All Children Of The World  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4548 ~
The Earth:
"Dear Robert, if the world remains governed and administered in pieces it will go to pieces.  Why don't you try to get an Earth or planetary government created with central world ministries?  I just take one example, that of education:

- millions of books are published in 190 nations around the world on the objectives, contents, methods, results of education.  This alone might cost me ten percent of my forests.

If there existed a central World Ministry of Education there would be standard world books on the basic, essential information and knowledge to be given to all children of the world."

I:
You are right.  This is why I wrote in the light of my experience at the United Nations a World Core Curriculum of our global knowledge, but only 43 schools out of the hundreds of thousands in the world are using it. I try to do my best.

I have recommended as priority number one on this planet, as an absolute, urgent necessity the creation of a proper Earth and Humanity government.  But I am a voice in the desert. 

You could have given another example of Earth savings, namely military expenditures and armaments whose duplication by 176 nations is astronomical and yet nothing is being done about it.

The administration and management of this planet are so deeply, so totally wrong, so awfully entrenched and retarded in old obsolete values and beliefs that it might change only with a revolution or with disasters.

Jacques Cousteau has correctly raised the question of the rights of future generations.
I have myself raised the following new rights:
- the right of humans to a proper planning of the future by governments and world agencies;
- the right to a well-preserved planet
- the rights of the Earth and implementation of the UN Charter of Nature and Earth Charter
- the right to a preserved past
- the right to life of other species
