Core Belief

Equality and Freedom
Though each human is an individual, humans are still a social species. Though there are a wide range of living arrangements, humans predominantly seem to live in villages, communities, tribes, or clans. The concept of society, civilization and nation only came later, and along with this modern concept of society came the concept of equality and freedom. Now that civilization is here, and most probably permanently, the concept of equality and freedom is also going to stay with us. Maybe civilization will cease in the future, like it is shown in some Hollywood movies, and at that time, what will matter more is survival. If that day comes, we will see, and maybe we change. But till that time, we are not going to give up on equality and freedom.

Why is equality and freedom a core value?

We just established that humans are a social species. Humans do better when they are in a society. But being in a society means that individual humans has to interact with each other, and this interaction comes in two forms;


 * 1) Trade interactions (for e.g. getting in a cab, walking into a restaurant to order food)
 * 2) Trust interactions (for e.g. friends, love, kinship)

Trade between parties should happen freely and fairly. '''Only a free and fair interaction is called as trade, or trust. All other interactions are called as stealing, or cheating'''. Imagine if anybody can steal anything from anybody. Imagine if anybody can cheat anybody. Life will become bloody and miserable for every one and intelligent life will finally die. There is no point in writing a wiki for a species that is intent on its own death.

Not only stealing or cheating, but malice is sure to beget malice, and if unchecked, the society will become progressively toxic, and will reach a point of no return, when only something great can unite the people against malice, and oppression. Living in such a toxic society is not a problem, like Assange said, humans can adapt themselves to any conditions. But the problem is, which Assange pointed out somewhat is, we are loosing time, and we are loosing opportunities.

Now that we are not cave dwellers anymore, now that we have telescopes and measuring instruments, we can measure things around us and can make a prediction of our future. And it seems that the future of the earth is not so pleasant. If we consider ourselves as wise people, If we consider ourselves as people who respect life and the human psyche, then we cannot let this self-destruction to happen.

Hence the first and foremost thing on the agenda is equality and freedom, from which arises all other values.

Consequences of the loss of Equality and Freedom
The extinction of human beings seems to be inevitable. At the very least, consciousness and human wisdom may separate from the inorganic body. And maybe the organic bodies exists as mindless zombies. Though this might be farfetched, but it could not be said that it would never happen.

The loss of Equality and Freedom in society will produce social toxins, like malice, hate, jealousy, and anger. The very hard conservative can argue that these are bound to exist, even if humans achieve some Utopia. But how do we know? Humanity has never been to Utopia. The hardcore conservatives point is cost and fairness to achieve equality and freedom. This is explained more in detail elsewhere (See xxx). It cannot be argued that the loss of Equality and Freedom in society will produce some sort of social toxins. Prolonged exposure to social toxins will lead to the degeneration of humanity, with it the wisdom of the human species. Though some isolated spots of goodness might exist, evil will thrive, and it will become that the only way for anybody to survive is to be evil themselves (like the Chinese 2-year-old kid, repeatedly run over, but nobody came to help)

It will be very unpleasant to live in such a dark and degenerated society. And if that continues, human life will be painful, with no opportunity to even die, but the only choice is to live in painful slavery.



One could ask, why should we bother about a dark and unpleasant future, which we may never see, which we may never live. It is hardwired in organic life to consider, at the very least the next generation.
