Life has given mankind everything it has, without segregation and without consideration of which characteristic or quality best suits the situations or the periods. Only by having the totality of human characteristics and options can we hope to deal with all periods to come.Our collective is our key to survival and well-being.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["humanism","inspirational","perspective","self-knowledge","survival"],"id":260,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"The political parties are there to distract us from our systems of government; instead of focusing on the system, we focus on political parties to vote for.Voting is our only encouraged interaction with our systems of government.The choice between political parties fractures our nations yet further, turns our focus on each other, and away from the mechanisms of our systems of government.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["administration","democracy","division","government","political-parties","politics","society"],"id":304,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"Until now, human organization could only be based upon something negative which could not be conquered: SCARCITY, and something false: PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY... No wonder instead of producing stability, it produced the exact opposite.The current human organization based upon dealing with the consequences of scarcity and being considered responsible for our individual characteristics which we could never have chosen (our nature, our nurture, our “soul”, and all the choices they engender), will always lead to an irrational, hence unstable human organization causing perpetual conflicts, which is no organization at all.Today, we have the luxury to initiate a rational self-organization based upon two positives: -our HUMAN CONSENSUS; our common desires shared by all, and -the SCIENTIFIC PROJECT to achieve them.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["accountability","consensus","determinism","false","free-will","human-organization","humanism","irrational","organization","personal-accountability","rational","scarcity","science","unreasonable"],"id":39152,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"Making decent human beings accept the principle of a private, divine covenant be it first, second, third, old, new or whatever, will destroy all humanity and decency in our species.All these diverging and contradicting one man “revelations” will always destroy our HUMAN grace, to serve one of the many “versions” of a hypothetical DIVINE grace…Something like… rape for a divine virginity….","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["covenant","divine-grace","grace","human-grace","humanism","monotheism","religion","revelation","thought"],"id":52143,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"Democracy is a continuous, open process of civility.A democracy can never be “done”; updating democracy can never be over.Democracy can be nothing else but a continuous process, because we use it to organize our life, and life is nothing but a continuous process.Democracy can be compared to an operating system or an anti-virus software; if it does not get perpetually updated, it becomes obsolete very fast.Trusting the updates or the “improvements” of democracy to the elected and the owned mass media is like trusting the updates of an anti-virus program to virus creators; it defeats the purpose of updates or improvements.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["administration","civility","democracy","government","politics","self-reliance","society"],"id":56008,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"DIVINE NECESSITY creates “others” even among family members who become good to be killed by family members…HUMAN NECESSITY commands man to resurrect the supposed reason for which God supposedly shattered humanity in Babylon:The “Covenant” among men.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["covenant","divine-necessity","human-necessity","humanism","monotheism","religion","self-reliance","thought"],"id":90300,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"Survival in scarcity dictates nastiness with a rival clan, but also dictates goodness towards our own clan whose support is vital to acquire or defend the necessary scarcities.Man’s nastiness or goodness is not his fault or merit;They both create the vital coping mechanism to his environment of scarcity.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["good-and-bad","rival","scarcity","survival"],"id":104151,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"Before eating from the tree of knowledge, Adam and Eve had no notion of Good and evil.They were kicked out of paradise, because the supposed Creator was unable to reason that giving someone free will to choose between two things while having no notion of either, would be the Himalaya of nonsense.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["adam-and-eve","anachronism","free-will","good-and-bad","good-and-evil","monotheism","nonsense","original-sin","religion"],"id":107920,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"The minority (the considered one percent of the one percent of the one percent of the one percent of humanity…) that has “worked hard” its way to obscene riches and power depriving human beings of vital necessities like water and food is a part of us, not an alien enemy.They are not the devil, nor satan.Just men (like us)Men who are taught what they know (like us)What to think (like us)Men who are lied to (like us)Manipulated (like us)Processed (like us)Indoctrinated (…. ..).","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["control","economic-minority","economic-system","humanism","riches","self-knowledge","unity"],"id":111213,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"},{"text":"My species should know the following about itself:-The universe created the ultimate abstract life-form by creating man, but scarcity “programmed” him to this current, ridiculously diminished version of himself.-Everyone and every community (clan) is everybody’s and every community’s future ally and brother in arms in what will be humanity’s decisive stand against scarcity, whether they realize it, desire it, or deny it.","author":"Haroutioun Bochnakian","tags":["humanism","inspirational","scarcity","self-knowledge"],"id":125416,"author_id":"Haroutioun+Bochnakian"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":29,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
