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.

Prosperity everybody wants it but nobody knows what it is

 

Inner reform only really begins to take effect when we align our existence with the knowledge of who we are and where each of us came from. To discover who we are, good will and humility are enough. 


There are many paths and sources for those who are already looking, among them the most efficient is the study of everyday occurrences:

1- If you practice the accumulation of wealth through actions that cause damage, suffering or exploitation of third parties, reassess your conduct and know that you are only rich, but not prosperous;

2- If your economic activities harm the environment or degrade the life of other forms of life on the planet - reassess your conduct and know that in addition to not being prosperous, you are inconsequential;

3-If you participate in the development and use of processes or technologies that do not have sustainable management of resources and ecological balance, reassess your conduct and know that this can be as harmful as the two points above;

4-If your activities do not prioritize community involvement, promoting social cohesion and inclusive development, reassess your conduct and know that this can be as harmful as the three points above;

Prospenomic proposals seek to create a more sustainable and compassionate economic system, encouraging individuals and entities to act in a responsible and ethical manner. The aim is to promote positive behavior through education, awareness and encouragement rather than punishment or coercion.

Prosperity is a state of well-being characterized by economic and social flourishing along with a sense of personal fulfillment and happiness. In the context of Prospenomics, prosperity is not measured simply by material wealth or economic growth, but rather by a holistic view of well-being that encompasses social, environmental and cultural factors.

In a prosperous society, prosperity is achieved through sustainable resource management, equitable distribution of wealth, and inclusive development that benefits all members of society, including future generations. It is a state in which individuals and communities have access to the resources and opportunities they need to live fulfilling lives without compromising the well-being of others or the environment.

Prosperity can take many forms, including economic prosperity, social prosperity, cultural prosperity, and environmental prosperity. In a prosperous society, all these forms of prosperity are interconnected and interdependent, and the well-being of one aspect depends on the well-being of others.

Overall, prosperity in a Prospenomic society is not simply about accumulating material wealth or economic growth, but about creating a sustainable and inclusive society in which all members can prosper and flourish, both individually and collectively.

From what I see, I'm not the only one to use the term prospenomia (prospenomics).

In his book "Dinero ¿estás ahí? Mover nuestra conciencia hacia la abundancia" by Editora Kolima, Professor Jean Guillaume Salles presents the fictional story of the planet Prospenomia, in which the planet was created by the gods to house beings who wished to reconnect with their divine part. However, life on Prospenomia was hostile, and the inhabitants needed to go beyond their five senses to find harmony and connection with all forms of life on the planet.

Through this reconnection, the inhabitants reached a state of irrational acceptance and love, turning life on Prospenomia into an exciting and harmonious game. The story suggests that Prospenomia became a school for those seeking to learn this way of life, leading them to share this wisdom with other planets in the galaxy.

----

"This is the story of the planet Prospenomia.

Prospenomia was created by the gods to house beings who wanted to regain unity with their divine part. Thus, all the beings who lived in Prospenomia had gone there by their own full and complete decision. But life on the planet was hostile. The gods, as fine strategists, had conceived it in such a way that if the beings living there limited their perception to their five senses, their life there would be unbearable.

Planeta Prospenomiapor el Profesor Jean Guillaume Salles

Indeed, the planet was created with the goal - let us remember - that all the beings who populated it would regain their connection with their divinity. Thus, for beings who called "reality" what they perceived through their five senses, life quickly turned into a nightmare.

But what the gods had not foreseen is that, although all the beings who went to that planet did so by their own will and with the intention of reconnecting with their divine part, they quickly forgot what they had gone there for and passively endured and resignedly the hostile life. As if a dense fog invaded their minds, which were gradually anesthetizing deeper and deeper.

The gods watched with patience, hoping that at least a few would wake up, but that did not happen. So they decided to come to their aid and dissipated that strange fog that invaded the mountains. Life on Prospenomia was so hard that it generated great suffering, which in turn produced that dense fog for the mind.

After the fog had dissipated, some beings quickly woke up.

These beings knew how to look beyond their five senses to find solutions to the challenge that life in Prospenomia represented.

The gods had installed in the invisible world a network that connected all forms of life on the planet with each other. Thus, the beings who knew how to go beyond their five senses were immediately connected with all the forms of life that existed in Prospenomia.

At first, this was a shock for the one reconnecting; many times, the fear of going mad appeared, then came a collapse of all beliefs about reality and how life should be lived. If that being was able to go through all that, they completed the experience of being connected, beyond space and time, with all the forms of life that were on the planet. And the one reconnecting also recovered the memory of the goal they brought when coming to Prospenomia.

So, for that already reconnected being, life began to flow synchronously, beyond all logic. Thus, fear gave way to love, pleasure replaced desire, and beyond all that, a deep state of irrational acceptance of everything that is installed. To everyone who was reconnected with the invisible network, that state allowed them to know at every moment everything that was useful for their survival, their joy, and their consciousness. And then life on Prospenomia quickly became an exciting game.

The invisible network was woven in such a way that every time a being reconnected, the mesh gained more strength, and it became easier for those who were still "asleep" to reconnect.

Thus, like stars that light up in the sky, the consciousnesses of the beings of Prospenomia were illuminated with that reconnection.

In a very short time, life on Prospenomia went from hostility and ferocity to a harmony in which all forms of life were respected, with the vigor of a pulsating joy that illuminated the consciousness of each being.

Then Prospenomia transformed into a school planet for all beings desiring to learn that way of life. Some came by themselves, and others to take that teaching to other planets in the galaxy. But that's another story... Dear reader, I bring you good news: you have in your hands the practical guide to Prospenomia. 

Shall we go?!

----

The concept presented by Professor Jean Guillaume Salles about Prospenomia can integrate with what I present on the topic, from a perspective of harmony, connection, and transcendence. Just as the inhabitants of Prospenomia needed to go beyond their five senses to find balance and peace, his approach can emphasize the importance of looking beyond conventional structures to find innovative and sustainable solutions to economic and social challenges.

AI and the emergence of a prospenomic society - How tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, GPT-4, along with Microsoft's Bing AI chatbots, among others could help accelerate the creation of a prospenomic society


Carl Sagan by Craiyon


 The evolution of technology can be described as moving on a geometric scale, with some technologies advancing rapidly and others becoming obsolete relatively quickly. This is often referred to as the "technology lifecycle," and it is driven by a number of factors, including market demand, innovation, and competition.


Some technologies have a relatively long lifecycle, such as the automobile, which has been around for over 120 years and continues to evolve and improve. Other technologies, like the fax machine, had a relatively short lifecycle due to the emergence of new technologies that were more efficient and effective.

This rapid pace of technological advancement can be both exciting and challenging. On the one hand, it opens up new opportunities for innovation and growth. On the other hand, it can be difficult to keep up with the latest developments and to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of technology.

Ultimately, the key to success in a rapidly evolving technological landscape is to stay informed and adapt quickly to changes in the market. 

The advent of a prospenomic society (even though the prospenomical definition has never been used for this yearning) has long been a goal for many individuals and organizations, and recent advances in AI have the potential to open up new directions towards achieving this goal. AI has the ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns and trends, and make predictions about future outcomes. This can help individuals and organizations make more informed decisions about how to allocate resources, invest in new projects, and create new opportunities for growth and development.

In addition, AI can help to automate routine tasks, freeing up time and resources for more important work. This can lead to more efficient processes and greater productivity, which can ultimately drive economic growth and development.

Furthermore, AI has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges facing society today, such as poverty, inequality, and access to education and healthcare. By analyzing data on resource use and social impact, for example, AI tools can help individuals and organizations make more equitable choices, leading to a more inclusive and prosperous society.

Of course, it is important to note that AI is not a silver bullet solution to all of society's problems. It must be used responsibly and ethically, and in conjunction with other tools and strategies, to ensure that it benefits all members of society. But there is no doubt that AI has the potential to play a significant role in shaping a more prosperous and sustainable future for all.

2-First things first - evolution of the individual prospenomic agent

Achieving a prospenomic society is a long-term and complex process, and it requires the development of individual prospenomic agents who can contribute to the overall goal of creating a prosperous and sustainable society. Prospenomic agents are individuals or organizations that work towards creating economic prosperity and social progress in a responsible and sustainable manner.

One of the best ways to start developing prospenomic agents is through education and training programs that emphasize the importance of sustainability, social responsibility, and innovation. These programs can help individuals and organizations develop the skills and knowledge needed to create innovative solutions to social and economic challenges, while also promoting ethical and sustainable business practices.

Another important aspect of developing prospenomic agents is fostering a culture of collaboration and inclusivity, where individuals and organizations work together towards common goals and share knowledge and resources. This can help to create a more supportive and productive environment, where individuals and organizations can learn from each other and develop new ideas and approaches to creating a more prosperous society.

In summary, the development of individual prospenomic agents is an essential part of achieving a prospenomic society. Education, training, collaboration, and inclusivity are all key factors.

It is interesting to note that Luiz Pagano has evaluated our current level of prospenomic agents at approximately 1.6 and has predicted, with the advent of democratic AI tools a jump to level two in 2050. While it is difficult to predict the exact impact of AI on our level of prospenomic agents, it is clear that AI has the potential to play a significant role in promoting sustainable economic growth and social progress.

AI can help us to better understand the complex relationships between economic, social, and environmental factors, and to identify new opportunities for growth and development. It can also help us to develop more efficient and sustainable business practices, and to address some of the biggest challenges facing society today, such as poverty, inequality, and climate change.

3-Pessimistic x Optimistic View

The impact of AI on employment and the economy is a topic of much debate and discussion. While it is true that AI has the potential to automate certain tasks and replace some jobs, it is also true that it can create new jobs and opportunities in fields such as data analysis, machine learning, and robotics.

In a pessimistic view, the widespread adoption of AI could lead to significant job displacement, particularly in industries that rely heavily on manual labor or routine tasks. This could lead to economic hardship for affected individuals and communities, and it would be important for governments and other stakeholders to develop policies and programs to help those affected transition to new industries and opportunities.

In an optimistic view, AI could enable individuals to automate certain tasks and free up time for higher-value activities, such as creative work, problem solving, and innovation. This could lead to new forms of employment and economic growth, as well as improved living standards for individuals and communities.

Ultimately, the impact of AI on the economy and society will depend on a variety of factors, including the pace of technological progress, the nature of the jobs being automated, and the policies and regulations put in place to manage the transition to an AI-enabled economy. It will be important to consider both the potential benefits and risks of AI, and to work towards ensuring that its development and implementation benefit all members of society.

4-Increase unlimited resources, as a group and decrease our impact by consuming

Prospenomy, as viewed in other papers, is an economic system that aims to achieve prosperity for society by balancing the exploitation of resources with intelligence and promoting a community that prospers through dedication to talents and fraternal spirit. This system recognizes that individual wealth alone does not necessarily lead to overall prosperity, and instead focuses on achieving wealth in harmony as a group.

Elon Musk by Craiyon

Socialism and capitalism are two well-known economic systems that have both strengths and weaknesses. Socialism emphasizes equality, but can also lead to a lack of satisfaction, freedom, and economic collapse. Capitalism emphasizes individual wealth accumulation, but can also lead to poverty and unequal opportunities.

Prospenomy, as a third option, seeks to avoid the pitfalls of both socialism and capitalism by prioritizing balance and intelligence in the exploitation of resources. This creates a post-scarcity society where individuals are encouraged to dedicate themselves to their talents, while also promoting a sense of community and fraternity.

5-Improving the individual to improve the whole

It is important to recognize that the success of any economic system depends on a variety of factors, including cultural norms, political institutions, and individual behaviors. However, by striving for a system that values both individual and collective success, it may be possible to create a more prosperous and equitable society for all.

And, if you consider the definition of economics as the allocation of scarce resources to unlimited needs is a widely accepted one. Prospenomy, as an economic system, aims to achieve post-scarcity by balancing the exploitation of resources with intelligence and promoting a community that prospers through dedication to talents and fraternal spirit.

Prospenomy does not seek to eliminate or reduce people's needs, but rather to create a society where these needs can be met in a sustainable way.

Furthermore, while productivity is certainly an important aspect of any economic system, it should not be pursued at the expense of individual well-being or personal fulfillment. Prospenomy aims to create a society where individuals are encouraged to dedicate themselves to their talents and passions, rather than simply pursuing productivity for its own sake.

In summary, Prospenomy aims to achieve post-scarcity by balancing the exploitation of resources with intelligence and promoting a community that prospers through dedication to talents and fraternal spirit, without seeking to reduce individual needs or prioritize productivity over personal fulfillment.

It is true that human civilization has had a significant impact on the planet and other living beings, leading to environmental degradation, species extinction, and other negative consequences. However, it is also important to recognize that humans have the potential to create positive change and contribute to a more sustainable and harmonious world.

Prospenomics, as mentioned, is a field that seeks to promote human prosperity while also considering the well-being of the planet and all its inhabitants. It recognizes the need for new behavioral algorithms that are better integrated with the needs of the planet, and that can help humans transition to a more mature and responsible civilization.

Achieving this goal will require a collective effort from individuals, organizations, and governments, as well as a willingness to embrace new technologies and ways of living. It will also require a shift in mindset, from one that prioritizes individual gain at the expense of others, to one that values cooperation, collaboration, and mutual benefit.

Ultimately, the success of Prospenomics will depend on our ability to create a planetary consciousness, one that recognizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of working together to create a better world. By embracing this approach, we can help create a future in which humans and other living beings can thrive together in harmony and prosperity.

6-The responsibility does not lie with the tool, but with those who use it.

I do not have personal opinions or beliefs on the future of things; I dare only the role of describing a possible theory of the future. However, I can provide information and insights based on what is currently known about AI and its potential impact on society.

It is true that AI can be a powerful tool that has the potential to improve many aspects of human life, such as healthcare, transportation, and communication. AI can help us make better decisions, automate repetitive tasks, and create new solutions to complex problems.

However, it is also important to recognize that AI, like any technology, is not inherently good or bad. Its impact on society will depend on how it is developed, deployed, and regulated. While AI can be a valuable tool, it can also be misused or abused if not properly controlled.

Elon Musk and others have expressed concerns about the potential risks of AI, particularly the risk of creating an artificial superintelligence that could pose a threat to humanity. While this scenario is still speculative, it is important to consider the potential risks and work to mitigate them through responsible development and regulation of AI.

Overall, it is important to approach AI with caution, while also recognizing its potential benefits. We must work to ensure that AI is developed and used in a way that promotes human well-being and serves the common good.

In this context, the concept of a universal basic income has been discussed as a possible solution to the challenges posed by the increasing automation of work.

As machines become increasingly capable of performing tasks previously done by humans, many people may find themselves out of work, which could lead to social and economic disruption. A universal basic income, which is a periodic cash payment given to all individuals in a given society, regardless of their employment status, could be a way to mitigate these challenges.

By providing a basic level of economic security to all individuals, a universal basic income could allow people to pursue education, training, and other opportunities without the immediate pressure of needing to earn a living. It could also serve as a safety net for those who are unable to find work due to factors beyond their control, such as changes in the economy or technological advances.

However, the implementation of a universal basic income would require careful consideration and planning, as it would involve significant changes to existing social and economic structures. Proponents of a universal basic income argue that it could promote greater social equity and reduce poverty, while opponents argue that it could disincentivize work and lead to economic instability.

Overall, the idea of a universal basic income is one of many potential solutions that could be explored as part of a broader effort to create a more harmonious and equitable society. Prospenomics, with its focus on creating new algorithms of social conduct, is well-suited to exploring and developing these kinds of solutions.

Achieving harmony and balance with the intricate chain of life on our planet is crucial for the survival and well-being of all species, including humans. Learning from the examples of other species, such as bees, mycelia, and whales, can help us develop ways to regulate human society and reduce our negative impact on the planet.

Bees have been on the planet for millions of years, with fossil evidence suggesting the existence of bee-like insects dating back to around 100 million years ago.

The mycelial network, which is made up of underground threads called hyphae, is an intricate system that connects and communicates between different plants and organisms in a forest ecosystem. Through this network, the mycelium is able to distribute nutrients, minerals, and water to other plants, and even warn them of potential threats such as pests or diseases. The mycelial network also plays an important role in breaking down organic matter, helping to cycle nutrients back into the soil, which is important for the overall health and balance of the ecosystem. The mycelial network is considered the oldest and largest living organism on the planet, with some estimates suggesting that a single network can cover hundreds or even thousands of acres.

AI, together with prospenomics and biomimetics are fields that could help humans to better understand and emulate the natural systems of the planet, such as the mycelial network and the social structure of bees, in order to create a more harmonious relationship with the environment. Prospenomics proposes a rethinking of work and remuneration in light of technological advancements and a potential post-scarcity society, while biomimetics studies natural systems and processes in order to develop sustainable and efficient technologies. Both fields could contribute to a more balanced and sustainable human society that is more in harmony with the natural systems of the planet.

7-We are young and smal, but we may survive

Carl Sagan once said, “The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

This quote is a sobering reminder that as a species, we still have much to learn and much progress to make if we are to ensure our long-term survival and prosperity on this planet.

In that sense, Prospenomics, is a framework for promoting human well-being while also working to protect the environment and other living species. By emphasizing the importance of responsible behavior and sustainable development, Prospenomy offers a roadmap for navigating the challenges of the 21st century and beyond.

Prosperous City by Craiyon

Initiatives like Pagano’s CAUIM TIAKAU and Roddik’s The Body Shop, with sustainable approach to business are great examples of how businesses can incorporate principles of biomimicry and sustainability into their operations. By doing so, they can not only contribute to a healthier planet but also create economic opportunities that are in harmony with nature and beneficial for communities.

It's true that advancements in AI and other technologies can bring about uncertainty and changes in the economy and our way of life. However, with the right approach, these changes can also bring about new opportunities and possibilities for a more sustainable and harmonious future. 

It's important to have a mindset of openness and adaptability to embrace these changes and work towards solutions that benefit both humanity and the planet.

As societies and individuals, we must undergo a process of growth and maturity. Just as children need to learn and grow to become responsible adults, we as a society must also mature and learn to take responsibility for our actions and their impact on the planet. AI can certainly play a role in this process by helping us better understand complex systems, make more informed decisions, and find innovative solutions to problems. As we continue to explore and understand our place in the cosmos, AI and other advanced technologies can help us advance as a civilization and reach new heights of understanding and prosperity.

General Theory of Prospenomics 1

 

The arrival of a prospenomic economy is inevitable and is related to human socioeconomic interactions, but, above all, closely related to the way we interact with the planet: 1- how we use the available natural resources, in the first place; 2- the way we relate to other forms of life, in the background; and, finally, 3- the way we culturally interact with each other.


The way we interact with each other has, if not well directed, the potential to undermine the first two interactions, an example is the process that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 or how we indiscriminately use the CFC, causing damage to the shield offered by the ozone layer, with the potential to sterilize life on the planet. In these two examples we see that human social interactions can endanger all forms of life on the planet, human and non-human.

Carl Sagan once said “We are fortunate: we are alive; we are powerful; the welfare of our civilization and our species is in our hands. If we do not speak for Earth, who will? If we are not committed to our own survival, who will be?”

So let's talk about that first.

The prospenomic social economy emerges as a result of the conception of a global civilization, predicted by Samuel Hutington, which even though each culture is different and unique, cultivates elements of its own culture of origin, respects and interacts positively with other cultures, and understands DIVERSITY as RICHNESS, understands that the planet is a single organism THAT CAN ONLY PROSPER IN UNION and that belligerent actions, of all kinds, are highly harmful to the whole system.

Day-to-day situations tell us that, from a practical point of view, intelligent actions that promote prosperity and good coexistence are gaining more and more prominence in global relations, at all levels: 1-since the origin of commercial flights, he realized the need for a single language for flight controllers, with the aim of organizing routes and reducing accidents; 2-global trade rules are discussed, today in an elitist way in Davos, but in the near future in a more democratic way, with perspectives of being mutually accepted and, mainly, the growing social interactions via applications available on the Internet, today quite polarized, which demand the need for routines to mitigate individual conflicts, making them tools for valuing differences, beliefs and values, with evolutionary purposes and not just a forum for offending those who think differently.

But how did we get here and how do we proceed from there?

Since the 'Axial Age' (500-300 BC), which corresponds to the period in which most of the main religious and spiritual traditions were conceived in European societies, the theme of acceptance and joint work is debated, but unfortunately little applied in practical life.

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. 


Immanuel Kant writes “[A man], who is in prosperity, while he sees that others have to contend with great wretchedness and that he could help them, thinks: 

What concern is it of mine? Let everyone be as happy as Heaven pleases, or as he can make himself; 

I will take nothing from him nor even envy him, only I do not wish to contribute anything to his welfare or to his assistance in distress! 

Now no doubt, if such a mode of thinking were a universal law, the human race might very well subsist, and doubtless even better than in a state in which everyone talks of sympathy and good-will, or even takes care occasionally to put it into practice, but, on the other side, also cheats when he can, betrays the rights of men, or otherwise violates them. 

But although it is possible that a universal law of nature might exist in accordance with that maxim, it is impossible to will that such a principle should have the universal validity of a law of nature. For a will which resolved this would contradict itself, inasmuch as many cases might occur in which one would have need of the love and sympathy of others, and in which, by such a law of nature, sprung from his own will, he would deprive himself of all hope of the aid he desires.”

(Immanuel Kant - Königsberg, April 22, 1724 - Königsberg, February 12, 1804)

-------

The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic - a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Among Protestant Christians prosperity, financial blessing and physical well-being are reflections of God's will for the faithful. It also says that faith; positive speech and donations to religious causes will increase a person's health and material wealth. Material success, and especially financial success, is seen as a sign of divine favor.

Just as World War I gave great impetus to communism, exalted liberalism and generated the so-called third wave, that of fascism, World War II generated the Cold War, with the polarization of two major world powers and non-aligned countries.

In the 1990s, the American political scientist, advisor and academic Samuel Hutington explains in 'The Clash of Civilizations' how different cultures overlapped the bipolarity if the Cold War and at least 9 other great civilizations emerged:

- Western - cultures from Europe and the United States;
- Latin American – interspersing leftist initiatives to implant communism with rightwing military forces intervening against it;
- African - virtually all scholars agree and recognize Africa as a distinct culture, with the exception of Braudel who considers Saharan Africa as Islamic, the south as European imperialism and Ethiopia as a unique culture;
- Islamic - Originally from the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century AD, Islamic culture spread throughout North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula and Southeast Asia.
- Sinic Civilization - Born 1500 or even 2500 years ago, Huttington considers this civilization that corresponds to a large part of the Chinese territory, as Confucian, which serves as a unifying component (with controversies);
- Hindu - exists since 1500 BC, more than a religion or social system, Hinduism is the core of Indian culture. Like Sinic they are cultures that expand beyond the state of origin;
- Orthodox - is the civilization of countries whose predominant religion is the doctrine of Christianity that emerged in Byzantine and Tartar rulers, composed mainly by Russia and Eastern Europe.
- Buddhist – Based on Buddha's teachings, differs from Buddhism by two central elements - the first is because Buddhism rejects the preaching of religious leaders and ministers, has meditation as a key element, and the second because it rejects the Indian system of houses;
and - Japanese - which, although very close to China, had its prominence greatly reinforced in the 1970s/80s and early 90s with great technological and economic advances;

We tend to perceive that our civilization defines us more by what we are not than by what we are:

-If two South Americans talk to an Englishman, the difference is the Englishman, although they are all earthlings;
-If two Brazilians talk to an Argentinean, the Argentine is different, although they are all South Americans;
-If two Yanomamis talk to a Brazilian from the city, the difference is the guy from the city, even though they are all Brazilian.

According to Huntington, all these civilizations will continue to perceive themselves as different according to their origins, their languages will distance themselves from each other as they gain power. However, a Universal Civilization will arise when a different form of life presents itself (for example, an extraterrestrial), so we will unite as a terrestrial civilization different from the extraterrestrial.

This can also happen when we realize that other beings who share the planet with us also have their own civilizations, which, although not as elaborate as ours, are of fundamental importance to the planet, such as underground mycelial networks, bees, whales.

Prospenomics and the Refit of Universal Civilization to the Planet Earth

All these differences at sociocultural levels must be seen as insignificant point compared to all the dynamics of the planet that we ignore. The human being is unique in its genus and species, as well as all other live species on this planet.

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” – Aldous Huxley


We only got here because there was a balance between different forms of life that evolved together in the last 4.5 billion years of evolution.

It's not just because our society has evolved more intensely than that of other life forms on Earth, that we should ignore or belittle them.

We must, like any other form of life on this planet, act collaboratively, respecting the extinct that brought we here and accepting those that we see as a substitute for the less adapted of now.

The subject seems to have taken a leap from the human sociocultural theme to the issue of evolution on Earth - this is deliberate, it is better for this scare to be given in a text than in demonstrations of the planet, with the potential to cause great damage to humanity.
