Sub­ject: Propo­si­tion of Model

Salu­ta­tion.

My name is Ioana-Noemy Toma. I am a trans­la­tor, and the pres­i­dent of the eco-civic asso­ci­a­tion “Pro vita uni­ver­sale”, from Roman, Romania.

In this let­ter, i sub­mit to your atten­tion the propo­si­tion of a new model of soci­ety, which could solve bet­ter the devel­op­men­tal, social and envi­ron­men­tal problems.

The his­tory of the ter­res­trial life and of the humankind shows that life, with all the real­iza­tions, is unique, irre­peat­able, com­plex and val­oric, price­less. The liv­ing beings always tried to improve their per­sonal and social lives. The humans, with a supe­rior capac­ity of knowl­edge and explo­ration, under­stood more of the world they live in. Philoso­phers, sci­en­tists, politi­cians, artists, from the antiq­uity to the present, were inter­ested by a ratio­nal “com­mon good”. Today, thanks to the progress of the sci­ence, the con­ser­va­tion and the ame­lio­ra­tion of the life is more fea­si­ble. Good exam­ples of the human genius are the eco­log­i­cal admin­is­tra­tion of the Lord Howe Island, the vol­un­tary work in NGO’s like Mercy Corps, or free qual­ity prod­ucts, like Linux’s.

I pro­pose to the sci­en­tific and civic com­mu­nity a model of a ratio­nal human soci­ety (logoc­racy), based on the teach­ings of this his­tory, which should be adopted in order to ethi­cize the human exis­tence on Earth.

The ratio­nal human soci­ety will be founded on the ratio­nal­ity, under­stood as the supe­rior capac­ity of humans to act ben­e­fi­cially, with the respect of the gen­eral moral prin­ci­ples : peace, jus­tice, lib­erty, respon­si­bil­ity and help, for the pro­tec­tion and the ame­lio­ra­tion of the life on the Earth and in the Uni­verse, by edu­ca­tion, bal­ance, per­fec­tion­ing, con­ser­va­tion, progress, coöper­a­tion and healthy rest. This first value, which implies along with the rea­son the mod­er­a­tion and the com­pas­sion, is needed in order to pre­serve the pat­ri­mony of human and uni­ver­sal val­ues, and to real­ize ben­e­fi­cial activ­i­ties in sci­ence, eco­nom­ics and cul­ture. The exis­tence of the other forms of life (min­er­als, plants, other ani­mals) will be respected, avoid­ing their destruc­tion and ensur­ing their con­ti­nu­ity as much as possible.

In the ratio­nal soci­ety, it will be ensured for all the cit­i­zens, decently : a house and a gar­den at the level of fam­ily or social group, legal and charge­less (free) edu­ca­tion, the free access to ben­e­fi­cial and ratio­nal­ized (non-excessive for the health and the envi­ron­ment) activ­i­ties, in use­ful domains, to be real­ized vol­un­tar­ily, accord­ing to the indi­vid­ual capac­i­ties and the social needs, the sci­en­tific, objec­tive, non-monetary, computer-aided eval­u­a­tion, con­ser­va­tion and dis­tri­b­u­tion of the nat­ural and arti­fi­cial resources, to nat­ural and legal per­sons, accord­ing to nor­mal needs, in mod­er­ated lim­its, and the sup­port in case of sick­ness, dis­abil­ity or death. Money and other dam­ag­ing arti­facts, by the inutil­ity, the waste, the fal­si­fi­ca­tion and the cor­rup­tion they imply, will be banned. The prod­ucts will be stored and dis­trib­uted sci­en­tif­i­cally and chargelessly.

The nat­ural and legal per­sons will act in an inde­pen­dent and coöper­a­tive régime. Every­one will have the oblig­a­tion to pre­serve the ratio­nal­ity of his/her activ­i­ties, in con­di­tions of health and efficiency.

Humans will no more be con­sid­ered as resources, but as intel­li­gent man­age­r­ial actors (i.e. per­sons who act) on the Earth and in the Uni­verse. The human activ­ity will be cor­rectly eval­u­ated, by a wise list of qual­i­ta­tive (non-numeric) and numeric indicators.

The sci­en­tific knowl­edge will respect the impor­tant cri­te­ria of truth­ful­ness and benef­i­cence of the affir­ma­tions, because the false­ness is a fraud, and a source of errors, and because the malef­i­cence endan­gers the life. As there are con­stant and evolv­ing or improv­able truths, respec­tively goods, the sci­en­tists will state the degree of reserve they give to the truth­ful­ness, respec­tively benef­i­cence, of their works.

The cul­tural, reli­gious and occult soci­eties will be nor­mal­ized, in the sense of the ratio­nal inter­pre­ta­tion of their pat­ri­mony, rec­og­niz­ing the false­ness of their myths, proven by the sci­en­tific means, and of the real­iza­tion of ben­e­fi­cial activ­i­ties, with the respect of the ratio­nal­ity, the real­ity and the science.

The immoral, use­less, waste­ful of capac­i­ties and resources, toxic, destruc­tive, will be rec­og­nized as dan­ger­ous for the humans and the envi­ron­ment, and will be for­bid­den. All the per­sons impli­cated in such activ­i­ties will be reed­u­cated, coun­seled and sup­ported to real­ize ben­e­fi­cial activities.

In the ratio­nal soci­ety, every­one will have the pos­si­bil­ity to thrive, and to con­tribute to the well-being of the soci­ety, and of the sur­round­ing nature. This model is not fic­ti­tious, it is real­is­tic and nec­es­sary, and it can be real­ized by good, science-based laws.

Please, send me your obser­va­tions con­cern­ing this model. You would par­tic­i­pate to the project of its sci­en­tific and civic devel­op­ment ? And you could rec­om­mend me other pos­si­ble collaborators ?

I am look­ing for­ward to your response.

Wishes of well.
