School of Talents and Wellness session 17.11.20 for action

Our global School of Talents and Wellness attracts all kinds of people from around the world. All are invited by Jean-Paul Close to use their own expertise within the vision of Sustainocracy (core natural human values and democracy) to come up with global or local programs. During previous sessions, including the ones organized by Dr. Mahendra Shah under the title of Earth Odyssey, we got to four propositions:

  • Sustainability or Health Valleys near urban areas. In analogy of the old establishment of Silicon Valley like industrial zones near cities we could organize Sustainability Valleys. The SDGs and Sustainocratic core human values could be developed in such areas with the engagement of the local community of citizen’s and institutions.
  • Zero tolerance. It is gradually unacceptable that institutions operate in a “negative values” environment (abuse of human beings, society and planet) out of pure financial benefit. The alternative is defined using instruments like UNITED and the 4 x Profit/Value principles for genuin participation in core values creation. In 2020 we speak out the Zero Tolerance to be fully applied in society against anyone (business or politics) as from 2030, providing a voluntary 10 year transition period. During those 10 years severe cases will be prosecuted already to create precedents and warning signals to those who are reluctant. As from 2030 the abuse is seen as a crime against humity and our living planet.
  • LYPS – Let Your Passion Shine: Showing the positive, passion driven initiatives, large and small, of people in the field of values creation, creativity and expressionist art. We use video platforms, social media, etc to inspire, build awareness and visualize back practice measured against the core values, UNITED, 4 x Profit, etc.
  • Engaging our youngest generations and schools into the School of Talents and Wellness. Young people are trapped into a old scholing system that pays no attention the essentials of living a progressive life. There future is not based anymore of the old thinking of a job for life and obedience within a system. Their empathy towards the planet, our fellow human beings and the challenges we face, require the development of the creative innovative potential, addressing phenomena and root causes rather that sustaining the unsustainable.

The discussion went into a specific direction, an open reflection. Feel free to listen to the dialogue as it builds up. Relevant information can be found here:

Present during todays dialogue about these issues and bringing them into our practical reality are:

Zero tolerance

Within the industrial based societal hierarchy there is a perceived official tolerance for polluting and destructive activities due to its economic relevance. Supportive politics to these industries due to corruption, misleading information or dependence on the taxable labour offered by these enterprises, become complice to the damages caused on local and global humankind and our planet. Have a look at this video of the crimes of cement industries that use subsidised waste to fuel their processes.

Such industries, often within the domain of large western multinationals, have the coward, historical tendency to do these practices in areas where the politic environment is still favorable for their crimes. They are called crimes because the negative health and environmental impacts are known to the executives. This is why they diverted to these places, away from their home country where rules are much stricter. The aspect of willingly and knowingly polluting and poisening a local population somewhere in the world is a crime against humanity.

Such industries tend to justify their action because of the global “need” for their products, the wish to recover their investments or the profit pressure demanded by their stakeholders against all moral validation, often with a long term collatoral of the local government. This means that the local network is as responsible for the crime against their own population as the multinational itself.

Locals that defend their basic right for health (without unnatural, human inflicted pollution) get prosecuted for trespassing, blocking economic processes or other “system crimes” that have no natural basis. This shows the old irrational focus of justice on defending a manipulated interpretation of justice out of economic bias. This is wrong in basic, unwritten natural laws of public health and safety. Favoring the sustaining of a corrupt “money determines all” type of phylosophy makes even those parts of justice complice of the crime.

When there is a choice there is no excuse. With the growth of core natural values driven alternative community (society) governance (SDG’s based, donut economy, Sustainocracy, etc) to the money driven hegamony the zero tolerance of crime against nature and humanity is growing equaly. Politicians, business executives and justice have now a choice. This is still voluntary in view of the relative novelty of the definition of the core values and alternative governance model. Soon it will become compulsary by law of nature. Within the voluntary arena of choice they will have to face increasing the public disapproval and uprise. It is not the institutions that choose, it is the people that run and support them.

The newly demanded zero tolerance justice is hence not concentrated anymore on blaming the enterprises with their battery of system lawyers. It is going to prosecute the executives, politicians, civil servants and even judges themselves who get blamed for their choices. Self protective immunity could be a mask within the dominance of a single system but with the breakthrough of alternatives the immunity is not effective anymore. There is no hiding possible. The only way forward is through protecting, defending and supporting sustainable human progress and our core natural values. If not, one is facing to be banned from the community as even jail, at the expense of the community, is too much for such criminals.

Zero tolerance….

Earth Odyssey

View on YouTube the dialogue (see links below)

Five times in history our planet Earth suffered a high impact event that nearly killed all life forms. The most famous is the alleged meteorite impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. A sixth event seems to occur right now. It is called “the human being” and our Anthropocene behavior. Even this is being disputed by some scientists who refer to humankind as a possible hickup in the history of life on Earth, one that will be long forgotten, let alone remembered by any possible future so called intelligent, analytical species in the future.

What would that mean? That we don’t have to take responsibility, because whatever we do, we become extinct anyway? Or does that mean that we do need to take responsibility in order to make the best of it as long as we occupy our place in the timeline of the planet and its ecosystem? Is it reasonable to analyse the human species as any other species in the diversity of possibilities? Or do we need to look at our wit, self awareness, creativity, inventiveness and adaptiveness as something unique, authentic and instrumental to turn our destiny to our benefit. Is it reasonable to look at our development in logical phases, starting with our breakthrough as an intelligent toolmaker?

Our second phase would be competitive as our advantage would give us the capacity of greed and desire of control. We would follow the path of deepening understanding that greed and competition does not lead to stability. That diplomacy, cocreation would, first of all among the diversity of our own many cultures.

Haven’t we now reached a point of a second mayor turnaround, one that gives us deep understanding of our responsibility towards ourselves and our environment, the one of symbiose, to live and let live? To value our core natural values and let nature and time determine our destiny while we ourselves contribute to our sustainable existence instead of self inflicted premature death?

Let is talk about it, and develop a mindset of faith, adaptiveness, sustainable progress and cohesion. Earth Odyssey is a platform for dialogue. Sustainocracy is a new mindset.

The awareness breakthrough is a real, memorable point in a person’s life
