Legislation

Current Synthesis on Legislation

Proposed: Universal Legislation based on Shared Human Values and Peaceful Win-Win-Win Conflict Resolution Guidelines
A universal set of human values are to be defined as a guiding moral compass for all our decision-making processes, aiming to protect individual rights and freedoms, improve the social welfare of the community all while being respectful of the contextual environment (win-win-win).
I personally prefer justified guidelines and best practices over rules but as legislation may be inevitable, it will need to be reinvented and made simple, akin to a Golden Rule equivalent and using terminology that is understood by all (not only lawyers and law makers), so that anyone can represent themselves in any situation or case ruling.
Whenever such rules are expanded on, whatever new vocabulary is introduced should immediately be made common knowledge to the masses.
We will want to avoid the use of behaviorist techniques such as conditioning to ensure a humane approach to all conflict resolution.
Consequential penalties and correction facilities must use proven humane and constructivist reform techniques (such as Norwegian correction facilities).

This matter requires attention from folks who are knowledgeable in conflict resolution, social work, healthcare, psychology, and so on.

Carl Sagan (1995) published the Demon-Haunted World to argue the case for science, underlining how the mainstream has often tried to stereotype scientists as crazy or geeky or dangerous outcasts that see themselves as holier than though and then blow everything up. Sadly, an infinite amount of journalists and health experts, such as Gary Taubes (2016) in The Case Against Sugar and Michael Moss in Hooked (2021), have reported on the intentional misleading propaganda of big Corp and their conflicting influence on governmental policy, all to the detriment of public health. The concept of a Food and Drug Administration in itself has been highlighted as paradoxical – if food can deteriorate health and drugs can heal the ailments, then we have an inherent conflict of interest under a single umbrella.

Add to that how lobbyists in the U.S. alone have jumped from only a few dozen to 10s of thousands in the last 2 or 3 decades. Their existence is to persuade politicians to do what is in the best interest of private groups and not the masses. Does this not by definition challenge the very definition of a democracy, where representatives are supposed to work for the people who elected them - the masses? The argument may be that without employers, the masses would not be employed. Imagine a world where everyone learned to collaborate, would we still need employers, or could we focus on missions, visions and strategies instead? The Personal Growth section currently has that very objective insight.

Dr. John Campbell recently (yesterday, as I write this) reported on various studies about Vitamin D in May of 2023 showing just how outdated government health policies can be. The War on Drugs lasted for almost a century, imprisoning, enslaving, and even killing young black men simply for having smoked a marijuana joint. Now that the world has to accept that all the “hip kids” do it too, the western world suddenly embraces this leaf as an industrious and ‘woke’ move forward. Labour lawyers such as Vivek Ramaswamy (2021), who published Woke, Inc, underline how stakeholder capitalism has abused democracy, and how the legislation has protected nefarious and often immoral acts against the common citizen. Yanis Varoufakis perhaps correctly dubbed our present system Technofeudalism.

Big question is, how do existing organizations that are known to be corrupt continue to exist after already having been pinned for so many traitorous acts? What sorts of laws can we create to ensure that no single individual can ever be extorted or taken advantage of by any other person or entity.
