The Seven Absolutes

Our organizing principle is that individuals need help managing sustainable behaviors. One of these behaviors is to form ideas and defend them at all costs. In general, our pattern recognizing behaviors are poor and understanding complexities. Alignment among many individuals can become challenging when core ideas are challenged, especially organizing principles that help define the scope and values of a movement.

Thus, the Seven Absolutes were created to frame the foundation of the movement in philosophical statements of truth. They are intended to reflect ideals of human behavior that when followed, would cause sustainability within our movement, enabling sustainability globally. Calling them "absolutes'" honors the difficulty of truly following each tenant to it's logical conclusion. They are intended to serve as ideals which will guide the development of our movement. They reflect human behaviors that have consistently contributed to core problems.

The Seven Absolutes will be malleable for a time, changing only when needed.

This page will be elaborated on to justify each of the seven absolutes, and provide a venue to discuss them.

The Seven Absolutes

No Harming. All life is valuable and should be protected. We are all of us each and together guardians of our environment.

(Starting with the self, then other humans, then all responsive life.)

No Wasting. All resources are valuable and should be respected. We inspire and promote behaviors that honor our resources and our creations.

(Rare, natural and artificial resources; tools, supplies and consumables.  All are expected to know their value)

No Ignorance.  All information is valuable and should be maintained. We help each other learn and remain receptive to learning.

No Cheating. Wisdom begins with the self. Respect as well. We hold ourselves accountable to high ideals of human behavior: discipline, balance, and respect.

No Isolation. Humanity is the priority life form on this planet, thus we collaborate to reduce suffering and increase life satisfaction among all humans.

No Competition.  Conditions do not warrant this wasteful and stressful survival strategy. We have the means to live happy, long, satisfying lives with out the experiences of competition.

'''No Limits. '''We overcome challenges through science, technology, creativity and pioneering. We can thrive sustainably with the life around us.
