Prospenomics: Understanding Prospenomics Agents

PROSPENOMICS

Prospenomics, also known as Prospenomia, is the study of prosperity and its generators, aiming to pave a path towards Post-Scarcity. Through an economic and social approach that transcends the conventional paradigms of known economic theory, which often associates relatively low abundance with hard and inefficient work and fails to distribute well-being among individuals, paying little attention to the depletion of resources on the planet. The field of Prospenomics arises from the urgent need to rethink current economic and social models. To achieve this, we must study all known forms of prosperity, from intelligent decisions made in ancient times to the fictions of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, envisioning a future where prosperity is abundant, where no longer uses monetary fractions for the exchange of goods and services, and people work to satisfy their talents and ambitions for personal upliftment; or also the ideas of Buckminster Fuller, in which prosperity was not limited solely to the accumulation of material wealth or economic growth but rather ensuring well-being and sustainability for all forms of life on the planet.

Understanding Prospenomics Agents

Thirsty Romildo (fictional character) by the 'sororoca'

With this little story we are going to show what Prospenomic agents are and how they would interact in a more evolved society.

Romildo, an engineer at the service of an oil company was sailing in a boat that sank while investigating the leak of contaminants in the Solimões River, in the middle of the Amazon rainforest.

Romildo did not drink water afraid that the water was poisoned, and after three days, when the rescuers arrived realized that Romildo was almost dead, leaning on a phenakospermum guianensis, commonly known by locals as 'Sororoca'.

Romildo had no idea that the plant that served him as a shelter during the whole time he was thirstily living in a hot rainforest was a perfect source of clean water. The leaves of the sororoca, supported by long and strong petioles, arranged in the form of an array of fans accumulate and purify water, forming a perfect natural filter and reservoir.

The three levels of prospenomics agents

The surviving history of Romildo makes us understand what are the mechanisms behind 'post-scarcity' and the important role of its three tier agents:

- Prospenomic agent of 1st level - the basics - If Romildo had the knowledge of an experienced woodsman, he could have been benefited from water, plants and insects that were around him, and could have come out the situation perfectly hydrated and nourished;

- Prospenomic agent of 2nd level - state of the art - If Romildo had the accumulated knowledge of a 'bushman' added to a 'chef' and a 'physician', he not only would have eaten delicious dishes such as a soup of toast larvae, tucupi and jambu, but also would have reduced his usual high level of blood cholesterol.

- Prospenomic agent of 3rd level - plenitude of use - If Romildo had a relatively perfect base of knowledge (conceptual condition of plenitude in post-scarcity scenario) he would have had as much delight and moments of rare pleasure in the middle of jungle, and also could have got out of there as a millionaire. May be because he dedicated himself to a rich gold deposit, or have studied the use of a handful of native plants combined to make a tonic compound with the purpose of increasing the average life expectancy of mankind in 220 years.

Currently, our civilization is experiencing a stage of shortage (just prior to the first stage in the example cited above) where a relatively small group of people takes improperly advantage of resources around, and the vast majority feels impaired:

- A brilliant musician who opted for a life of crimes because he needed urgent money to feed his family, dies in a police confrontation. He was unable to use his potential talent because of the misuse of knowledge and proper attitudes;

- A victim of cancer dies because he had no access to a remedy made out of the toxins of a particular type of spider that lives in the garden of his own house;

- A postal clerk fails to bring to market a revolutionary software, able to share information on the newest achievements of science because their low self-esteem did not allowed him to quit his secure job to devote to the project;

Here are dramatic examples of how the era of scarce is harmful to the planet and should be tackled immediately.

In a post-scarcity scenario the classic definition of economics would change from - allocation of scarce resources to unlimited needs - to - conscious use of unlimited resources for all needs.

How Prospenomics Differs from Simple Economics

If economy traditionally focuses on the exchange of wealth among humans, it differs exponentially from *prospenomics, which focuses on the relationships of prosperity and ecological balance of the planet as a whole. While the economy traditionally focuses on monetary aspects and the distribution of resources among humans, prospenomics broadens this perspective to consider global prosperity, in which the life of any living being, no matter how insignificant it may seem to humans, if negatively affected, will adversely affect the well-being of all life forms and the sustainability of the planet. "While Economics operates in a monophonic mode, focusing on the exchange of wealth within human relationships, Prospenomics operates in a stereophonic mode, considering the broader scope of prosperity and ecological balance across the planet." Luiz Pagano

BASIC ARGUMENT OF PROSPENOMICS

Individual wealth is not prosperity - prosperity only happens when the group achieves wealth in harmony ....Socialism fails by focusing too much on equality – by inhibiting ancestral human instincts, society tends to a lack of satisfaction, of freedom and leading the economy to collapse in semi-poverty; ....Capitalism fails by focusing too much on selfishness – making people believe that the unequal accumulation of resources is good for society, causing poverty and imbalance opportunities; ....Prospenomy is a third option in which the exploitation of resources with balance and intelligence creates post-scarcity, favoring a community that prospers by logic, real dedication to talents and by the fraternal spirit.

PROSPENOMICS

Before the Industrial Revolution, we lived with immediate resources, we ate what we hunted and harvested, we had full harmony with the other nearly 9 million species. With the agricultural revolution, we started to have surplus production, which created the need for us to develop new algorithms to adapt to these brilliant new realities. We had to create currency exchange, banks, we had to abandon the nomadic life to stabilize ourselves in cities and we started to have to worry about surplus transportation and security against theft and robbery. START OF PLANETARY DISARMONY We started to move away from planetary harmony, generating urban sewage and unbalanced waste. The industrial revolution has further increased this mismatch and today we have reached the point where we put at risk the delicate balance of the other species that until then lived in harmony, we have reached the point of having to worry about our own possible extinction. We emerged as a new super organism just like the existing ones of ants, bees and termites, with the difference that these social systems had time to adapt to the planet, about 150 million years ago - the human superorganism has no more than 30,000 years. Bees, for example, rely on social functioning algorithms governed by pheromones, astronomical observations, and also have elaborated communication skills. Soldiers and workers interact with drones and the queen, with a great degree of adaptation to the flows of life on the planet, in an enviable way, it is a highly symbiotic society, with essential pollination and feeding functions, serving an infinity of other species. The algorithms that runs on societies of social insects are infinitely more efficient than ours, because their systems are completely integrated and do not generate harmful side effects like ours. CHANGE FROM PARASITE TO SIMBIONT The good news is that we don't have to feel so guilty - this stage of human evolutionary maladjustment was necessary, it had to happen as it did, but it needs to be revised. We needed to go through this evolution and consequent imbalance, and now we have the task of finding new behavioral algorithms, more productive in relation to planetary harmony. Going back is not a logical option, what we have to do from now on is to find new behavioral algorithms that will allow us to better integrate the human superorganism into life on Earth. THIS IS THE MAIN GOAL OF PROSPENOMICS In a PROSPENOMIC SOCIETY we seek our own prosperity, but we also aim to promote the evolution of other forms of life on the planet, in a healthy, harmonious and dynamic way. We fully understand that our current society is acting in a parasitic way, with highly inappropriate, extremely inelegant behavior algorithms - We do that among us, human beings, causing hunger, misery and death of an important marginalized fraction, as well as harming the other species of living beings, causing the degradation of all biomes, changing the atmospheric composition and promoting accelerated extinction. Our conduct algorithms are extremely poorly integrated with the needs of the planet, we generate surplus waste, noise and light pollution, with highly harmful repercussions. PROSPENOMIC is the science that will enable the formation of a planetary consciousness in which human protagonism will create new algorithm of social conduct that will allow us to leave the current problematic civilizatory adolescence for full maturity, in which the planet will prosper in full balance.
