Our true human potential
Our true human potential is blocked by many things. It is feared by politicians, manipulated by financial economists, yet needed to survive ourselves and enter a new era of post anthropocenic sustainable existence. The STIR Foundation experiments with this through Sustainocracy as a societal invitation to develop our essential natural human values together. Here is some “deblocking” stuff:
No, we don’t use only 10% of our brains. We only behave as such.
When we are given the opportunity
In the open space, conditioned by essential human values, as presented by Sustainocracy, its spin offs and like minded partnerships, we can value this unique manifestation of creativity. Creating this space requires a modified attitude by corresponding institutions, such as government. They become facilitators, showing their commitment to the human values while applying innovations that make us get and stay there. The open space is not necessarily oriented at problem solving. It is more directed at the opportunity to make a proactive, positive difference, guided by existentialist ethics.
STIR Innovation Lab
STIR develops this space together with the institutions, providing guidance for both those at the centre of innovation as those needing to get used to the facilitating role.
Social media risks for young generations
STIR Academy united about 30 youth workers from 7 European countries to discuss this issue. For over a week they brainstormed through workshops to come to solutions. They also learned about the essential values for human sustainable resilience, as expressed in Sustainocracy. A comprehensive, low cost, online tutorial is offered to all parents, teachers and youth workers across the world.
Our youngest generations are naturally vulnerable due to their growing up struggles. This evolves in logical phases. As soon as they get in contact with others of their own age a comparison starts. This can be playful but also highly competitive, survival oriented. Their level of self reflection, empathy and compassion is often not enough developed to place blocks on their competitive attitude. Adult moderation is then required to gain again peace together with the necessary corrective reflections. Social media lacks such moderation. The young people are left alone in a jungle or cocktail of hormonal chaos. Our system oriented education falls short on teaching about respect while pressure on electronic system availability is pushing for ever younger ages. The consequences can be enormous.
Existential Ethics in Education, explained in Japan for a world in transition
Our current educational system prepares us for financial dependence in a competitive, job oriented world. The essential values of our human existence and the shared responsibilities for a sustainable evolution only make themselves known to us through painful recessions, war, crises and the reaction of nature on our abusive, polluting and parasite behavior. Sustainocracy introduces an Existentialist Ethical format for all learning environments to adhere to, making all the cognitive teaching facilities become relevant in a values driven context of sustainable development. The impact on our youngest generations and our economies is transformative, motivational and a new age stimulus for value added creativity.
