Forum Post: Constitution for an Advanced Civilization

Friends, we all share this earth together and all of us are entitled to a peacful life on earth. We must unify as people across the globe and come to agreement on how we can work together to insure that all humans are in fact equal and are guaranteed the same basic rights to life and liberty. For the first time in the history of human civilization we can connect to one another across the globe and work together to organize and manage the resources of the earth together.

We must put behind us all of the illusions and prejudice that occupy our minds. Our perspectives, beliefs and values have all been developed while living within various systems of rule for which we were dependent, this was a reality and understanding that we created. We must create a new reality and in essence a new world. For all of those who are religious, this new world unity and government is heaven on earth, for those who don't believe in religions it will be a peaceful life in which you are guaranteed 30 hours per week of work in exchange for the same basic freedoms as all the other citizens of the earth.

For us it will be more difficult to comprehend the new world than it will be for our children since they will only know peace and unity. They will not have prejudice because we will not give it to them, they will not know suffering because we will deliver them from it.

With every person guaranteed access to the earth in a truly equal and democratic system there will be no war or crime. Health care will be easy and affordable & education will focus on life, health and technology for good, rather than profit.

We propose a basic world constitution that we all agree upon and then implement together as a truly democratic and free world. Below is our basic resolution for the creation of an official constitution.

Our New World Resolution

All we have to do is agree to support it and build an advanced civilization.

All humans are to be born free and equal citizens of the earth with equal access to 30 hours per week in exhange for services to our new system of world government.

All natural resources of the earth are to be free from private ownership and are to be used to provide for all citizens of the earth independent of geographical location.

The market system shall not interfere with citizen access to the life essential resources of the earth or the ability to secure labor and maintain good physical and mental health.

There shall be a seperation of media news and information from entertainment and the elimination of propaganda.

Questions:

Who will be at the head or running the world government?

Who will allocate or oversee allocation of resources to all citizens?

We do not even have health care for all now, if the world had to provide it for all it's citizens, the services provided would probably be worse than they are now. ie. Canada provides health care for all it's citizens, but if you want an MRI, you can wait 6 months for that. How would you guarantee that good health care was a reality when the population exceeds the resources of the planet?

How is news media and information not already separated from entertainment?

I doubt that propaganda will ever not be present, because people are not perfect, and as such will make decisions that have flaws and mistakes in them, including laws. People will recognize those things and want reforms, which may or may not occur. If the reforms to not occur, propaganda is necessary to quell dissent among the masses.

Your suggestion is for a reality that probably cannot be achieved in this lifetime. Others had the ideas in the 1960's. They went off to build their own communities, communes, which turned out to be unsustainable. Eutopia became utopian in reality.

"Who will be at the head or running the world government?" We will, the citizens of the earth. "Who will allocate or oversee allocation of resources to all citizens?" We will, the citizens of the earth. Free health care could easily be provided for all if the desire was there.

We must look into ourselves and not to others to solve our problems. We could easily create a world of abundance for all, free of servitude and debt if the desire was there.

[-] 1 points by lisa (425) 12 years ago

The best enlightenment I heard this week was that people tend to focus on problems rather than solutions, if we start thinking about solutions, there are many ways out and many possiblities.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

Yes. If we continue to fight something it never goes away. What you resist persist what you look at disappears. To move on we must have sound solutions.

Ever talk to an Afghani about this fantasy? A Pakistani? Or would only the West be involved with this New World Order?

[-] 1 points by TrevorMnemonic (5827) 12 years ago

No to the NWO.

[-] 1 points by TheStop (53) 12 years ago

Give up, people have tried to make Utopias and they never work.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

So that's your operation to go around and tell people to give up. Please dig deep and offer something more valuable to the world than pessimism.

[-] 1 points by TheStop (53) 12 years ago

Instead of a utopia lets use a free market.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

Your welcome to do so, how's that working for you?

[-] 1 points by TheStop (53) 12 years ago

pretty good a GDP of 14 trillion and EU has 18 trillion and china has 10 trillion. Pretty good. We have hit some rough areas but we come through.

[-] 0 points by MVSN (768) from Stockton, CA 12 years ago

Perhaps you could dig deeper and come up with something other than childish, utopian silliness.

[-] 1 points by beautifulworld (23772) 12 years ago

Humans need to evolve much more for something like this to take place. I get you, but most will not. It will frighten them.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

Yes you are correct. All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of the two emotions - Fear or Love

[-] 1 points by beautifulworld (23772) 12 years ago

You know what, though? Let's hope. Let's keep on hoping. Let's hope that love really does rule the world. That's what my mother always told me.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

My father always told be this: Life exist as a tool of your own creation, and all of its events merely present themselves as opportunities for you to decide and be who you are.

[-] 1 points by beautifulworld (23772) 12 years ago

Yes. Folks. What kind of society do we want to live in? That is the momentous and over-riding question.

[-] 1 points by julianzs (147) 12 years ago

As long as a Bengali will work 30 hours for less than $4, you will not get anywhere with the proposal.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

Just an idea what do you got?

[-] 1 points by me2 (534) 12 years ago

I don't understand the "equal access to 30 hours per week in exchange for services to our new system of world government" thing.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

Your guaranteed the work if you choose to do so. I job will always be there that fits your skill set.

Advanced...yeah, we believe you_ like in having Aipac parasite bunch call the shots...if they dont like you, you get a special gift sent down by a drone from 41000 ft. But again , this is already happening...oh, only muslims been getting this treatment so far. Soon every country except Israel and occupied West bank will get drone visits

What you know is what appears as your reality.

[-] 1 points by barb (835) 12 years ago

Evolution takes a long time for Humans to evolve to act more mature and be responsible as stewarts to the earth. If there really is a Higher Power then we would all be fired!

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

I often picture our human natures as little children trying to express ourselves. All conflict arises from misplaced desires. If all we are doing is following someone else’s rules, then we have not grown, we have obeyed.

[-] 1 points by barb (835) 12 years ago

I agree!

[-] 1 points by JadedGem (895) 12 years ago

One world government, are you kidding me??? As a nation we have been divided on everything, now you want to muck up other nations? Globalization was bad for everyone involved except the big corporations and the people they bought off. You expect me to believe a one world government could do anything but oppress people, devalue their culture, their identity, their rights??? Pretty words are just pretty words.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

You cannot evict an idea whose time has come

[-] 1 points by katie321 (2) 12 years ago

Unfortunately, these principles can only be applied to an idealistic world that simply does not exist. Question: "Who will be at the head or running the world government?" Response: 'We will, the citizens of the earth.' Has it ever occurred to you that every 'citizen of the earth' may not be willing to accept equality? You have forgotten human nature; there will always be someone who will try to seize power, and there will always be someone with the willingness to utilize violence to do so. In short, you can't have 'world peace'.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

Has it occurred to you your welcome to stay where you are. These new ideas posted are for an advanced society which means advanced thinking is necessary. Don't worry yourself, you will be okay because your leader will care for you. The word Can't is not in my vocabulary. If we all thought like this there would be no progress at all.

[-] 1 points by stevo (314) 12 years ago

You people are imbeciles. One world government??? You assholes can't agree to anything and there are only a few hundred of you.

How about this for the Constitution: Rule # 7: We will get along in peace and harmony, sharing our resources ,food and love, and we will become one with nature, our planet, and fellow human beings.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

That's great, thanks for your input. There is no government in an RBE its powered by the creative genius in people.

You're fantasizing about communism. Fortunately you're in the minority among the US population, even if communists (and Zeitgeist techno-communists) are common within this movement.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

So you continue to hold onto old norms. A true tech junkie would vision a future of unlimited potential. Your hard set on keeping people trapped in your own prison of thinking. Lets upgrade to 2.0 shall we?

[-] 1 points by TechJunkie (3029) from Miami Beach, FL 12 years ago

There is a lot of potential for me under the current system. The people who don't have much potential under the current system are people who don't have any useful job skills. I'm not in favor of changing the system to benefit useless people. That won't help our country, which in turn will not help those people -- or me.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

I see, the deepest secret of life is that it is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation.

[-] 1 points by egarners (27) 12 years ago

They pay no attention to our existing Constitution so what gives anyone the idea that another will one will be obeyed? The existing organic Constitution has has been ignored by most of your elected and appointed representatives for over a century as they have violated their oath to OBEY and protect that great blueprint of checks and balances. Why do you think we are in the mess we are in?

So far you can't even unify the 5-6 people that are reading your insane gibberish!

A history lesson teaches us all it takes is 5-6 people to change the world.

Are you capable of not resorting to cliches or is that all your obviously limited intellect can deal with?

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

Of course, do you have something constructive to say?

[-] 0 points by MVSN (768) from Stockton, CA 12 years ago

And you are incapable of recognizing constructive speech. I say why your utopia is silly and you respond with flowery cliche. You are not helping your side. You explain nothing. You have nothing constructive. So typical of left wing filth.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

I'm not quite sure what your point is? If you are to engage in sensible adult conversation you should choose your words with less hatred. This site is about coming up with new ideas and concepts. If your to outdated for that and have nothing new to offer them perhaps its time for an upgrade. It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.

[-] 0 points by MVSN (768) from Stockton, CA 12 years ago

If you are capable of adult conversation I have yet to see it. People ask you questions and you give non answers using inane platitudes. Perhaps you should go back to your fairy tale coloring books.

[-] 1 points by lifesprizes (298) 12 years ago

All things that proceed from you return to you. You might want to remember this. The words you speak reflect your lever of conscious awareness. You have not asked a single question that can help yourself understand. Your mind is closed, please open it to a larger reality.
