More on ... the "human manifesto"

A quick double-take. :)

In simplified form, a group of people is but a person and another person. The whole is at best dysfunctional unless each component is "right" in mind and body ... and ... the environment "allows" for each to rightly function.

A dinner plate, dish drain (where one places recently washed dishes to "drip dry"), and water. Goal: Wash clean and dry the plate after you eat your dinner.

So ... after you eat, take the plate, dish drain, and a bucket full of dirty mop water, go outside while it's windy, sit on a patch of dirt, and proceed to accomplish the goal successfully.

It just ain't gonna happen! And the point being driven at is this ...

No "group think strategy" (or more forceful "majority action") will succeed in "curing" Humanity's ills without firstly addressing each human's mental and physical in/capacity and the environment within which each human, and Humanity collectively, is to function.

Ooh ... so serious it almost "sounds" scary, doesn't it? :)

I've been following your posts here and thereabouts, though, and it seems like this may be the ground you've been digging around in regarding what Christianity looked like way back when it initially started. (Am I somewhere in the ballpark at least?)

I don't know ... perhaps your proposed "think tank" could polish up such a "mandate" to minimize or altogether remove its "abuse potential", add "G-rated" interactive features to your Encyclopedic History of Everything, and reintroduce apprenticeship to Humanity, too ... and you might just have something truly beneficial to all life on Earth ... and beyond? :)
