Etude 1. The main dish.
The founder and Chairman of the World Economic Forum Mr. Klaus Schwab correctly identified one of the most important questions of our time: "What kind of capitalism do we need"?
However, I dare to add a few "original hot sauces and original main dish" from the author to the menu of the "round tables" of WEF 2020.
First, we all need to understand the fact that #EraRA (the author's definition), i.e. the Era of Robotics and AI (including 4IR, and Society 5.0, etc.) has already come.
Happy New year, ladies and gentlemen, happy a New Era! This is not the "end of history", this is the end of prehistory. And the true history of Humanity is just beginning…
It is unwise and irresponsible to oppose technological progress. Also unreasonable and irresponsible are the baseless promises of many politicians (especially during the elections), some businessmen and scientists that a lot of new high-tech and high-paying jobs will be created for people in the EraRA.
They could be nominees for the "Lorelei Award", which I propose to establish for leaders who promote ideas that lead humans on a fatal dangerous course.
While it is more likely that only geniuses, virtuosos of their professions, "Golden fingers" and - on special reserved for them workplaces - workaholics will work together with robots and AI.
And, as you know, the workforce without work becomes the driving force of protests and revolutions.
High technology without high morality will inevitably turn into a guillotine for humanity.
Therefore, we need to answer not only the question of what kind of economic system (without the labels "capitalism", "socialism") we want to create, but also the main question - about the role of human beings in the universe and the meaning of human life in the new epoch of the Anthropocene.
How we could to create well-being for human beings?
Secondly, 50 years have passed since the respected Mr. K. Schwab formulated the parameters of "stakeholder capitalism".
I am engaged (independently, without remuneration, without any help, in my spare time) 25 years in developing a new Picture of the World (the book "Justification of human", 1995, "Transfiguration of the World. Principles of Good Will and Sharing production & consumption", 2003, the concept of "All-inclusive society and economy", 2018, articles).
But nowadays we have not time for endless discussions and we have no right to do nothing.
Global climate change, the growing threat of MADday (author's notion -- because it's wrong to name a Day of Madness as a biblical DoomsDay), the danger of "social apartheid", and the rising of worrying for the fortune of people and the world (especially among the younger generation), clearly demand the urgent, wise and fundamental changes in the current paradigm of world civilization development. And palliative measures this time are powerless.
Finally, in order not to waste time, I propose to unite the efforts of all people (objectively assessing their contribution, regardless of titles, positions, capital, age, etc.), starting from the WEF-2020, with the goal of presenting the main parameters of the new paradigm for the development of the world community at the 75th session of the UN General Assembly in September 2020.
As my original intellectual dish, I grant on the "round table" of Davos 2020 my concept of "All-inclusive society & economy" and the article "Super-Co-Ops for a decent life", in which I have tried to harmoniously combine in the form of Global / National People's Corporations, or super-co-operatives (in which every citizen of the world or state owns an equal share and receives dividends), the best elements of shareholder capitalism, stakeholder capitalism, state capitalism, socialism, communism, etc.
"To be or not to be? - that is the question" on which each person answers with his actions.
Let's vow to the World:

Etude 2. Horsepower.
If you woke up in New York hotel in a room on the 3rd floor, looked out the window on the street and saw mountains of horse feces on level with your windows, then you are in the 1930 year of alternative history of humanity, because, in fact, the deliverance of cities from the bad-smelling future came at the end of the 19th century, when cable and electric trams were launched in cities, and cars appeared in the 20th century.
It was thanks to technological progress that one of the biggest problems faced by our ancestors in the cities of the 19th century was successfully solved.
Think about it: horses were used in the transport of people and goods, in the army and police, and were also a measure and symbol of wealth, prestige and power of their owners.
In the 19th century, new York city's population density increased by 2 times from 40 000 people to 80 000 people on square area of 2.5 km. and every day, each of the 200 000 horses in new York at the end of the 19th century filled the city with feces and urine.
The forecast, based on a simple extrapolation of that reality, predicted that in 1930 the level of manure mass would reach the height of three-story buildings.
It is not surprising that the delegates of one of the first International conferences on urban planning, after several days of emotional but fruitless disputes, themselves got bogged down in the "dung problem" and left in horse-drawn carts to their homes and hotels, convinced of the inevitable onset of a "shitty future".
Then they could not have thought that horses that have served people faithfully for thousands of years can be replaced not by other animals created by God and Nature, but by the creations of the human mind.
People who think within the framework of the old worldview often cannot find an innovative radical solution to the problem and those people replace it with palliative solutions.
It is easier to continue searching for a lost "key" in the circle of light of a street lamp, although it is already obvious that it is not there, than to step into the darkness and increase the search circle and the chances of success...
In 19th century the governments could decide, for example, less riding and less giving food and water to horses to reduce the amount of manure and urine.
Then the common sense of our ancestors saved them from simple but meaningless decisions.
And soon (thanks to creative people, trailblazers who passed over the boundaries of outdated paradigm of development) an innovative radical solution was found: cars and trams.
In 1912 the number of cars on the streets of New York exceeded the number of horses. In the 20th century, horses were no longer widely used in everyday life. Creative and active people put scientific and technological progress at the service of people and cleaned Augean stables in cities at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Maybe "The Great Horse Manure Crisis" of 1894 (GHMC) is an internet myth.
As for the Crisis, manure was a real problem, but palliative actions of governments could help. As stated some authors, for example, New York City hired George E. Waring Jr in 1895 to clean up the streets, which he largely accomplished by 1896.
In the 21st century the World faced with "The Great Human Pollution Crisis": this is not an myth.
We need to understand that the wrong actions of mankind within the current paradigm of development and outdated Worldview have led to pollution, i.e. to distortion of the existential foundations of the vital activity of global civilization on the planet Earth.
Recently the new global problems were at the top of the WEF 2020 agenda. The global problems, such as Climate Change, Social Apartheid, etc. will be discussed on the eve of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly and at other important forums and summits.
Unfortunately, the author of this essay has never been in Davos and, highly likely, will not be at the 75th session of the GA UN in New York...
But I hope that my advice will be heard, and not remain "the voice of a crying in the sea of fake news".
I am sure that world leaders and ordinary people should hear the care for the future of the world and humanity, clearly expressed by Greta Thunberg and the new generations, without ignoring the opinions of others, including senior generations, especially creative, wise, competent, influential and responsible people.
Innovative cardinals solutions to the main problems of our time must first be sought beyond the current worldview and outdated development paradigm i.e. "not in the World, as we know it, but in the World we want". We needn't deny palliative solutions, such as eating less, flying less, walking and cycling more, etc., but we must not be limited by palliative measures.
We must not make primitive conclusions and we must not make hasty and radical decisions based on a simple extrapolation of current data and trends, as do neo-Malthusians, neo-luddites, etc., but we have to look for inclusive and innovative solutions that could drastically change negative trends, transfiguring our reality into a better future, "leaving no one behind".
For me and, I am sure, for most of my contemporaries around the world, the current trend of permanent deterioration of the life standards of new generations is unacceptable.
My concept of "All-inclusive society and economy" and the innovative business model of Global or National People's corporations, or super-co-operatives, in which every citizen owns an equal share and receives dividends in the form of "human Income", are aimed at breaking this negative trend.
Only joint our efforts can we change the world for the better.
Otherwise, we risk being up to our ears in shit one day.
Personally, I do not want this very much and will do everything that possibly to find a way out of the delusion of hopelessness. Join us, let's go together...
Etude 3. True Greatness, Fake Greatness.
Etude 3.
True Greatness, Fake Greatness.
In the World, as we know it, from the Bible's moment of expulsion from Paradise to the present day the semantic pillar of life of most people and society was work. Worldview, culture, society and economy - somehow revolve around this age-old axis of human civilization. The problems of human well-being, demography, education, employment, migration, health, pensions and many other issues of foreign and domestic policy of the countries are largely determined by the state of labor relations. And even moral principles, including justice, are based on the imperative: who does not work, let him not eat.
In the World, as we know it, since the biblical time of forced expatriation of our ancestors from the homeland, where human beings lived in well-being, that is, since of deportation from the Eden to the present day the semantic pillar of life of most people and society was work. Worldview, culture, society and economy - somehow revolve around this ageless axis of human civilization. The problems of human well-being, demography, education, employment, migration, health, pensions and many other issues of foreign and domestic policy of the countries are largely determined by the state of labor relations. And even moral and religious principles, including justice, are based on the imperative: "who does not work, let him not eat".
What happens if the Sun will be replaced from the Solar system? Darkness and horror! The same thing will happen to the current World Order, if the Work, as we know it, will be replaced from humans' everyday life thanks to automation and AI: so probably think 99% of our contemporaries.
However, there were always 1% or more "very important people" who continued to live in Eden. Some of the inhabitants of "Eden" have merited these aöards but many entered the "Gardens of Eden" as occupiers, because by force, cunning, or other dishonest ways they appropriated the fruits of other people's work.
Since the 50s of the 20th century, the development of human civilization has reached an unprecedented level. The activities of humanity in our time can destroy the global civilization and the planet Earth (the Day of Madness can come because of an automatic error or by the evil will of madmen who have access to the launch codes of a global disaster), or transform our world into a global ecosystem of shared prosperity.
Human can destroy the World - this is a Fake Greatness, incomparable with the True Greatness of the Creator who created the World.
What way will be chosen by the world community - fake or true greatness?
It depends on every person. Humans matter!
Etude 4. Lorelei's Songs.
In the debate about the future of humanity in the Era of Robotics and AI i.e. EraRA, only arguments of Techno-Pessimists and so-called Techno-Optimists are heard.
Techno-Pessimists scare people with the threat of losing their jobs and income due to the occupation of their jobs by robots and AI.
Techno-Optimists, on the other hand, delight people with the prospects of a lifetime job (where automation has not yet trickled) and a basic income barely sufficient for minimum living standards to motivate the unemployed to find any new, even very bad, job.
In 2019, in Germany, the leader of the EU, I saw this image from the Techno-Optimistic future. A large, hi-tech garbage machine was moving slowly along the street of Aachen, collecting garbage from the roadway. On the sidewalk and ahead of the machine gone three workers with brooms who were pushing garbage from the zone along the curbs onto the road in front of that machine...
Obviously, Politicians Techno Optimists promise for humans analogical jobs.
Such irresponsible leaders, who sing charming songs to the people, want to win elections by any means.
But for them, the reward should be the "Lorelei Award", which lured the ships to the rocks of the Rhine with her wondrous singing, not the right to lead people to a better future.
Etude 5. The Unthinkable. Coronavirus & Virulent Ideas.
The World Health Organization announced a coronavirus pandemic: the number of infected reached 118,000 people on March 11, 2020, and more than 4,000 people died.
The coronavirus COVID-19 could be called as virus-liar because it tricks the immune system, since the crown of virus creates fake molecules that mimic substances that are useful for the body.
The "Little Liar" from the microcosm created global problems and caused a lot of harm to peoples.
Due to the high mobility of the World's population and the lack of vaccines, drugs and immunity against COVID-19, the virus is rapidly spreading, along the way easily collapsing stock markets and breaking comfortable social norms, separating people and countries.
The modern high-tech civilization of the Earth, planning the landing of a human on Mars, standing on the threshold of the Era of RA, i.e. the era of mass use of robotics, AI, and creating the most advanced expensive types of weapons of mass destruction of people (including biological weapons) suddenly found itself almost defenseless against the threat from the microworld.
Note also that the disease caused by the virus-liar has a feature that virologists cannot explain. Children, young and middle-aged people, mainly, easily pass this sick and often recover without consequences, but COVID19 has not mercy the elderly.
Undoubtedly, over time, the virus-liar will be weakened, get rebuff from humanity and nature...
It is necessary to understand the phenomenon of a global outbreak of a viral pandemic and reflect on a simple question: "Is the coronavirus pandemic the sinister manifestation of exacerbation of chronic diseases of the world civilization or isn't?"
As you know, COVID-19 was first detected in a human in China, according to various reports, in the period from November 17 (according to newspaper "The Guardian") prior to early of December 2019, and for several months of 2020 it takes the throne of the world's Empire of mass media.
On Friday, March 13 the BBC reported that the Italian Institute of anaesthesia, resuscitation and intensive care (SIAARTI) compared the situation with COVID-19 in Italy with the war and published recommendations for doctors to to comply with the principle of "the maximum good for the maximum number" of people in a shortage of doctors and medical equipment for ventilation.
Moreover, The recommendations to say what the BBC called UNTHINKABLE under normal conditions: "It may be necessary to determine the age limit for receiving intensive therapy." This is a cruel decision (comments the British BBC), but its only alternative - the principle of "who arrived first, took place" in the intensive care module - is even worse.
In the 21st century, it is truly unthinkable that the world community left Italy almost alone with this unthinkable choice.
Beautiful Italy is now in the greatest danger owing to the most aggressive strain of coronavirus and a large number of elderly people (Italy is the second in the world after Japan in the number of centenarians).
But we can and should take advantage of the fact that the pandemic is spreading unevenly around the world and the world community, with the coordination of the UN, is able to collect and send funds, medical workers and equipment to Italy.
The Security Council and WHO can and should call on the world's countries to stand together against the global threat and invite countries with the largest defense budgets to urgently redirect part of these funds to the global Fund for defense against the coronavirus pandemic...
(While I was working on the article, I posted these appeals on social networks. 22.03.2020 news: a group of doctors and medical aid from China arrived in Italy a few days ago, a group of military virologists and special equipment from Russia and Cuba is planned to arrive... the UN is launching an air bridge program to transport specialists and equipment to the regions most affected by the pandemic ... The UN Security Council planned organize remote Summit against COVID-19 on April 9, 2020).
Of course, these are urgent and necessary, but palliative measures. We will discuss the fundamental measures of healing humanity.
Fortunately, what is UNTHINKABLE in traditional normality does not always become reality in the so-called new normality.
The history of Humanity consists of dates and events. Here are some of its.
Spring-summer 1945. On the instructions of Churchill, "The Operation Unthinkable "was developed, in fact, it was a plan for the World War 3 of Great Britain and the United States with the use of nuclear weapons against the alleged military aggression of the USSR. The "Unthinkable" plan was not implemented, fortunately. Otherwise, Europe would have become a radioactive desert in the middle of the 20th century.
2002. More than a million Britons in a survey by the BBC television and radio Corporation named sir Winston Churchill the greatest Briton of all time.
An honorable fourth place in the list of "100 greatest Britons in history" in the same poll was taken by sir Charles Robert Darwin.
In 2019, in addition to the 210th anniversary of the outstanding naturalist and traveler, progressive humanity also celebrated the 160th anniversary of the remarkable work of Charles Darwin "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life", which was published on November 24, 1859, began the scientifically justified enthronement of the principle of the Struggle for Life in the evolution of the plant and animal kingdom.
Unfortunately, both these anniversaries were discussed in the mass media in 2019 unfairly little. Indeed, Darwin's rich natural science heritage is often called "Darwinism", and his influence is great not only in the field of natural sciences. Darwinism produced even more significant consequences in the social sphere.
Darwin himself wrote in his work "The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex":
"The following proposition seems to me to be highly true — namely, that any animal with clear social instincts, parental and filial relations would inevitably acquire a moral sense or conscience as soon as his intellectual faculties were developed in the same way as those of man"...
Unfortunately, Darwin's theory of natural selection in the animal kingdom was unnaturally transferred by self-willed interpreters to the social sphere in the form of Social Darwinism and other "virulent ideas" that parasitize the ideas and works of the great naturalist.
In the book "Transfiguration of the World: from the willfulness of Power to the supremacy of the Spirit" in 2003 I wrote the following about this: ."...recognizing weakness as a serious illness, a Homo Sapiens seeks the supremacy of spirit over power. And truly the forerunner of the Faith of Love, its nameless Apostle was that unknown woman who once was the first of humans to throw herself not into the arms of the winner, but to his defeated rival in the hope of healing his bodily and mental wounds.
Driven by love and empathy she spiritually rejected brute force - and the mechanism of natural selection failed for the first time.
So natural for female, who dutifully waits for the winner in the struggle of males for life, this selection was unnatural for a spiritualized person who has the right to choose."
I have neither the time nor the space in the article, nor the desire to describe in detail the unreasonableness and misanthropy of a lot of virulent ideas that parasitize on the Darwinism.
A precursor to the ideas of "social Darwinism" British economist Thomas Malthus, who published in 1798 his book "The Experience of the Law on Population" in which he argued that the reason for the difficult situation of the peoples, including unemployment, is the result of a "natural law of population", according to which population growth increases exponentially, and the growth of means of livelihood only in arithmetic progression.
The solution to the problem of "useless people" was seen by the priest T. Malthus in the forced regulation of population through wars, epidemics, famine, forced work, temperance from marriage, childbirth, etc. This theory got the name of "Malthusianism".
"Neo Malthusians" and adherents of other virulent ideas and theories juggle the ideas of Darwin and other great scientists, like clowns with oranges in the circus arena.
Indeed, 7.7 billion people lived on Earth in 2018.
The UN estimates that the World's population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050 and 11 billion by 2100.
In the dominant now socio-economic model, which is outdated for a long time, has essentially problems.
Most scientists and just sane people understand that neo-Malthusianism and other virulent ideas and theories operate with sly numbers and create false goals, and their creators and supporters are worthy of the "Lorelei Awards", because they push the development of global civilization on a false course of "social apartheid" and "palliative ruling regimes", distracting attention from the true causes of global plagues of nowadays civilization.
Supporters of the Malthusian concept of "fighting till the death of all against all for life", which naturally loses its relevance, probably, are ready for the last battle.
Mad, but probably still influential supporters of virulent, misanthropic ideas, see that the world in "the 20s of the 21st century" is entering the Era of RA (Era of Robotics & AI), in which robotics and AI can replace people in many areas of production, service, etc., and also fearing that time for misanthropic ideas is running out, can begin to implement the UNTHINKABLE.
It is obvious that someone of the researchers of the causes and consequences of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic will be interested in the coincidence of two Darwin's anniversaries in 2019 and the appearance of the first people infected with a coronavirus. One way or another, independently or with someone's help but the new coronavirus made a steep evolutionary leap from animals to humans.
It is very likely that soon a blockbuster with a huge budget and a primitive scenario based on this random act of fate will be released.
According to the scenario, on February 12, 2019 in 210-th day of the birth of Darwin one of social Darwinist hums the song "Happy Birthday To You" and eating bat with coronavirus. After 9 months, on 24 November of the same year, on the day of the 160-th anniversary of the publication of the doctrine of the struggle for life, this crazy man begins to cuddle with people, spreading the disease to "save the world"...
Absurd, - you say.
Absurd, - I say. It wasn't like that. And Darwin had nothing to do with it.
Moreover, Darwin in his youth left medical university because he did not want to see blood.
But you can't argue with that the consequences of the new coronavirus pandemic, which kills primarily and most of all the elderly, are cruelly and cynically solving, in a way unthinkable in today's humane and democratic society, the same false in its core problems that world and national leaders have so far solved by raising the pension age and other harsh market measures. But there are no mass protests, people are quarantined at home...
Objectively: the "problem of pensioners" is not a big problem even in the current outdated socio-economic model.
So, let's discuss about evolution of humans & evaluation of humans.
The point is that Darwin's ideas were wrongly transferred from the biological sphere to the social sphere, and the principles of commodity and money relations were transferred to the sphere of human relations.
In the current system of commodity and money relations a few people are interested in the purpose of evolution and the true value of human as a person, most people are interested in the so-called "price of human". Ask them, " How much is this human worth?"
When evaluating the owner, they will say that his price is equal to the valuation of his property. When evaluating an employee, they will evaluate their professional abilities and their remuneration.
Figuratively speaking, the value of a human is measured in horsepower (hp).
That is, in the current models of society and economy, the abilities of an ordinary human to work and to war are valued above all another talents of a person.
Approximately the same measure was used to evaluate a human at all times: from the moment of exile from Eden till the present day. Rulers, as a rule, looked at their slaves, servants, hired workers as "workhorse" or "small screw".
I, of course, forced to simplify a lot, clearing the varnish from the age-old image of an ordinary human in the current picture of the world. But the meaning is correct.
After all, most people have lived their lives without discovering the talents that nature and God have lavished on them. Because they did not live in the full sense of a high understanding of life, but were forced to survive in the struggle for life imposed on them.
During my work on the Etud "The Unthinkable", I read a small fragment of the beginning of an article by an Russian economist in the Russian business newspaper "Vedomosti" on March 16, 2020 in the "opinions" section.
In this fragment the author presented "the simplest variant" as he called it. The option was approximately as follows: 60% of the population will get sick in a month, 1% of them will die, and 70% of those who died will be people over 60 years old. "As cynical as it may sound," - the author comments , - "it's not a very scary for the global economy."
I looked up from my reading because I was very scared. I was not afraid for the world economy, I was very scared owing to a dispassionate calculation that was probably as mathematically correct as the economic justification for the break-even operation of gas chambers in nazi's death camps. And I felt ashamed of people who consider such calculations possible (a shame is such a non-economic definition).
Shortly before that, I read the words of CNBC analyst Rick Santelli, who, because of fears of a downturn in stock activity on Wall Street suggested that it would be better if the pandemic COVID-19 spreads like flu without quarantine. Then everyone would have been sick, but a month later, as after a normal flu epidemic, the stock would have risen again in price.
Probably, Mr. Santelli expressed the secret thoughts of some oligarchs whose "prices downed", because they lose significant amounts due to the panic on the stock exchanges, but they do not yet speak about it so cynically, for fear of public opinion. Although the voices of people most affected by virulent ideas about the alleged "usefulness" of the coronavirus pandemic are already being heard.
By the way, the opponent of the social Darwinism Jeet Heer counted how many human victims are willing to put on the altar of the Golden Calf of his fans: "With the most conservative estimate of 0.5% mortality, this is a call for the deaths of 37,500,000 people worldwide, including 1,750,000 Americans, to support the stock market."
I did find the full text of the article by the Russian economist Nikolai Kulbaka. As always, the most interesting part was at the end. It turned out that he is not a supporter of the "simplest option".
He wrote that cynical rulers of the undemocratic states will hide information about the danger of a pandemic in order, by economic standards, to minimize costs and maximize benefits, regardless of the suffering of people. And the democratic states despite economic losses, will save the maximum number of people by observing the necessary quarantine measures and providing assistance to all who need it.
"Thus, - says Nikolai Kulbaka, - democratic States will successfully pass the test of humanism and democracy".
But I say more than that:
"Every person during this coronavirus pandemic is tested for humaneness."
Because a true person cannot be reconciled with the fact that someone values ;;people only as workforce, and the meaning of life of "workforce" is squeezed into the Procrustean bed of "working age".
The coronavirus pandemic is most dangerous because it has set moral pitfalls for those who agree with the "logic like a steel trap" of virulent ideas that older people who have fully worked out their working age have become "useless people" when they retire.
Falling into the moral pitfalls that set by a small virus-liar and its big bosses-liars, people lose their human dignity and become hostages of their immoral choice.
Because the big liars, "corona leaders" of the current world, supporters of social Darwinism, Malthusianism and new-fangled virulent ideas, seeking to enter the high-tech future unencumbered by morality, maybe soon declare "useless people" not only the elderly, but more than half of humanity, throwing at the same time on the garbage dump of history indulgence for "working age".
And those who now agree that old people are "useless people" will not have the moral right to defend their human rights.
In other words, "High-tech progress without high morality will inevitably turn into a guillotine for humanity."
Therefore, we do not need to panic over this kind of information, which was published under a flashy headline by one of the economic newspapers: "Demographics are one of the biggest threats to the world economy and the future of the world."
In this article, author intimidated us by the OECD report, in which data on the population aged 20 to 64 years old in each OECD country is projected to the situation in 2050. The forecast showed that the number of workers in 2050 will be only 80% of the number in 2000 in Korea and Italy, and in Japan it will decrease to 60%.
Earlier in the Etud "Horsepower" I gave an example of the forecast of 1899, according to which, owing to the increase in the number of horses in new York in 1930, mountains of horse manure should have accumulated as high as 3-story buildings. But, as we know, the creative human thinking that created cars saved humanity from the "shitty future" predicted by prognosis at that time.
The creations of human thought - mechanical engines - replaced horses, but by mental inertia the power of engines continued to be measured in horsepower...
And now the solution to the most complex problems of our time can offer us a human-creator, not a virus-destroyer.
But if at the beginning of the 20th century it was necessary to clean the "Augean stables" on the streets of cities, then at the beginning of the 21st century it is necessary to clean the "Augean stables" in the minds of people affected by virulent ideas.
It is creative and moral persons who have to protect the world from real deadly dangers.
It is therefore my duty as a person of goodwill, philosopher and sociologist, for over 25 years professionally involved in the development of a new image of the future, to warn people about a new global dangers, which will not jump up as a virus-liar from the microworld and will not drop down on our heads from the space, but which maybe is rooted in a virulent ideas in the brains of the few, but often very influential people and can be a fatal cause of total enslavement and destruction of a lot of peoples.
The fact is that modern humanity and the world are facing a man-made "end of the world", the basis of the scenario of which, very likely, is a mixture of virulent ideas incompatible with the life of humanity.
Do not confuse this global man-made performance with the blissful scenario of the future described by F. Fukuyama in the book "the End of history, or the last man".
Do not compare the mad performance of the world theater of the absurd with God's Providence and Doomsday (by the way, I suggested changing the name of the famous Doomsday Clock to a more correct name for them - the MADday Clock, because only madmen suffering from delusions of false grandeur can allegedly try to improve the world, including forced rejuvenation of mankind with the help of a coronavirus pandemic).
The transition to a Misanthropic Era can occur not only by direct violence of groups of influential madmen over the peoples of the world, but also, most likely, by false leaders who will lead people towards goals-mirages.
(The Misanthropic Era as the unthinkable and worst variant of world development is described by me in the article "The Future. The Main Aim and The Options". The best option Is the Era of RAJ / Era of Eden, the bad option Is the Era of Regression - in Russian http://www.proza.ru/2018/12/14/1092
English version - http://www.proza.ru/2018/12/16/936 ).
And the apotheosis of this global performance on the world stage can be:
A FULL FALL OF VALUATION OF A HUMAN.
Whether this happens gradually and latently or dramatically depends on the world stars of the theater of the absurd: producers, writers, and performers of the main roles of the corona-leaders...
This is unthinkable for a sane person of good will, but it is quite acceptable and even seems rational for a human whose mind is affected by the virulent idea of the right of their own domination over other people.
To complete the description of the Unthinkable, I will again quote an excerpt from the book "Transfiguration of the World: from the willfulness of Power to the supremacy of Spirit":
BETWEEN POWER AND SPIRIT.
Unfortunately, we must admit that the force line of development has prevailed for thousands of years.
Most of the fateful dates were dictated by the force are written by blood in The History.
Wars and revolutions built and crushed the world order, wiping out decrepit empires and raising new rulers to the top of the world.
However, with the development of world civilization, brute force increasingly encountered fortitude and was condemned by people of good will.
Power was restricted by Law, subdued by Spirit, lost self-sufficiency, lost self-will, became not the first and only, but the last argument in conflicts.
In times of Holy wars and Great revolutions, people carried the bright flags of Faith, Brotherhood, Freedom, and Justice before and above the bloody flags of Violence.
The force gave way to the Spirit, but at the first opportunity it regained its lost dominance, sometimes dressing up in someone else's clothes.
THE LINE OF WILLFUL POWER.
The forces of Nature reigned on Earth long before the appearance of human.
Before becoming" intelligent", human has fully experienced the power of the blind forces and the inevitability of the laws of Nature.
Natural selection ruled the vegetable and animal kingdom with a cruel and inexorable rule, killing the weak and the unwanted, and giving life and offspring to the strong, the cunning, the prolific and so on. The survivors worshipped the Force, trusted in It.
By fangs, fists, weapons, fans of Force breakthrough their way in History, form by force a world order where the strong is right and the strongest is the ruler.
Irreconcilable struggle of individuals, species, tribes, clans, collectives, corporations, classes, peoples, states, technologies, ideas is their way of existence.
The winner is not judged is their battle cry.
The force forever is their worldview.
Tyrants, dictators are their idols.
Their steel will, their mad energy, their merciless strength - be it muscle, weapons, or money - push the world in a force line of development."
But remember: what measure you measure such and you will be measured.
"Never shout: God with us, better say: In God we trust".
THE LINE OF SUPREMACY OF THE SPIRIT.
Thank God, initially there is another line of human development, based on love for one's neighbor, empathy for the weak, and justice for all and in everything.
The emergence and spread of religions and ideas that preached the triumph of Truth and Good on Earth and in Heaven opened the path of spiritual growth for humanity.
Millions of Christians, Muslims, and Jews worship the God, the Supreme - the absolute personification of Love, Goodness, Wisdom, and Truth.
Billions of people of good will recognize the highest and enduring values of the ideals of Love, Kindness, Intelligence and Justice.
A rational human is called by his very nature to be guided not only by the laws of nature, but above all by the law of conscience, the Law of God... Human seeks not to weakness, but to subordinate a power by a reason and to the supremacy of the spirit.
The righteous and people of good will in coworking with God create good, believing and loving, dream of a new world order in which Truth will reign..
Love, empathy and everyone's right to happiness are the pillars of their way of life.
God is not in brutal force, God is in truth is their motto.
Love your neighbor as yourself, love the World as yourself is their main commandment.
Do not harm tis heir principle.
God is Love is their faith.
The righteous, poets, thinkers, prophets, saints, and the God are their mentors."
Unthinkable in the 21st century, documentary video of deserted streets of Rome, Paris and other European cities with patrols detaining rare pedestrians could probably be montaged in a fantasy movie about the arrival of the Antichrist.
Good always triumphs over evil.
To remember it again and again I propose to perpetuate the memory of all victims of COVID19, most of whom are older people, by creating the painting "Massacre of the Elderly" similar to the painting "Massacre of the Innocents".
Andra Tutto Bene! Everything will be fine!
Some authors of the best-selling who artfully mixing a cocktail of fact and fiction, as Dan Brown did in "The Da Vinci Code", maybe will write the intellectual thriller "Massacre of the Elderly. Geronticide in 21st Century".
Intertwining the storylines of "Massacre of the Innocents" at the beginning of Anno Domini and the death of many old people around the world from a new coronavirus at the beginning of the 3rd Millennium, the fiction writer will directs an hero-investigator, like professor Langdon, to unravel the ball of virulent ideas of a global conspiracy.
The leitmotif of these stories of infanticide and geronticide is simple and eternal: tyrants are afraid of losing their crown and are ready to commit any crimes in order to preserve their power.
The hero finds secret plans of the "world backstage" to destroy the Messiah, who was born more than 65 years ago and is hiding from enemies, waiting for his time.
They launch the COVID-19 pandemic, which collects victims from all over the world, primarily the elderly.
In Italy, the pandemic is burning, taking the lives of many old people every day. Once a baby, which can be saved by urgently connecting to a ALV apparatus, is brought to one of the hospitals. But there are no free ALV apparatus…
A doctor who has the right to disconnect elderly people from the ventilator tells the elderly people about the baby in the intensive care ward. Many of them are ready by their own free will to hand over to the baby the equipment that saves them. The not-so-old man begs the doctor to save the baby by his life-support equipment.
The good deed is done: in the struggle for life the human saves the human.
Was this good man a Saviour? God knows. At least for the baby, who recovered on the third day after the old man's death, he is definitely a Savior.
After all, by saving humanity in a human, a human saves humanity. In another words: if every human saved humanism in his soul, altogether humans will save Humanity.
Epilogue.
Some time after the victory over the coronavirus pandemic, the hero-investigator in a group of tourists stops in the Vatican Gallery in front of two tapestries "Massacre of the Innocents". He feels someone's eyes on him, turns around, and at the end of the Gallery sees a man who looks very much like an old man who saved a baby. The old man makes signs to approach him, but when the hero approaches, the old man disappears.
In front of the eyes of the hero-investigator is a new tapestry "Massacre of the Elderly" but the plot is life-affirming.
On April 9, 2020 the number of reported cases of covid-19 worldwide has reached more than 1 500 000 , 88 700 people died.
The danger of the new coronavirus is that people do not yet have immunity from it. But the danger of transferring artificial mutations of social Darwinism into society and the fact that humanity has not yet developed spiritual immunity from virulent ideas are much more terrible.
And only together can people of all races and peoples save themselves and the world.

The Code Of Exodus. Etude 6. Key For Era of Eden
My articles and books are little-known that allows me to quote them a lot.
"Acquiring immense opportunities, people spend its on strengthening their power and adding wealth, so that they can use it again to increase their mighties.
In this vicious circle, justice is trampled on, good is not increased, and love is not multiplied.
Becoming almighty, modern humans are still far from omniscience and goodwill.
In the growing superiority of a force over a mind of human hides the mortal sin of mankind. For this discord moves us to wrong thoughts and actions, the price of which has recently increased immeasurably.
It is time to understand that human who has conquered the cosmic heights and penetrated the mysteries of matter has lost the right to make a mistake.
Even a small human misstep, multiplied by the monstrous power he has gained, threatens a global catastrophe.
The age of "homo sapiens" reached only a few tens of thousands of years - a moment by cosmic standards. But during this time, human has repeatedly put our world on the verge of life and death.
In the Era of high technology, Freedom should not be ahead of Reason and above morality.
The increased influence of human on the course of history makes him a co-worker of Nature and God.
It is vital for a person to understand and accept the Universal Laws of The Universe, to act in accordance with them."
"Transfiguration of the World: from the willfulness of Power to the supremacy of Spirit", G. Yu. Zherebilov, Lipetsk, 2003).
People who trust in God, when building an earthly community, are guided by the ideal of Paradise.
People who believe that there is no God (because it is almost impossible to prove this scientifically, as well as the opposite) are building Communism...
But one way or another, people have always dreamed of a society in which all people and everyone will live with dignity and wealth.
My proposed concept of "All-inclusive society and economy" is based on the principle of "cooperation of all with all", which in the near future will inevitably and finally defeat the principle of "struggle of all against all". (This concept has been developed in detail in my articles and books, and was presented as the thesises at the UN Global Goals Festival in may 2019 in Bonn).
The implementation of the "All-inclusive society & Economy" concept will ensure the transition of the Earth's civilization from the principles of the "wild forest", "jungle", where dominate natural forces and an endless struggle for survival, to the principles of the "garden", in which the Creator and humans as Co-Creators are co-working at preserving and truly flourishing the spiritual and natural forces of each creation.
This is why I named this global project as "the Era of RAJ" in Russian, or in English - "the Era of Eden".
Nowdays science and technology have achieved the ability of provide people with everything necessary for a life of prosperity.
Therefore, the most feasible part of "The Era of RAJ / The Era of Eden" project is a socio-economic model based on the good principle of cooperation, which has successfully passed the test of time.
It will remind to the Jews about kibbutzim, to the French about communes, to the British about pioneers of Rochdale, to the Germans, Austrians about Raiffeisen's co-operatives, to the Russians about artels, etc.
The largest co-operatives are successfully operating in many countries of the world today.
Philosophy teaches us that quantity overgrows into quality.
So, size matters.
In the book "Transfiguration of the World. Fundamentals of Good will and Sharing" in 2003, I proposed the principles of "sharing", i.e. a sharing economy based on Global or National People's Corporations, in which every citizen of the world or the state owns an equal share for all life ("Honeycomb Property") and receives dividends ("Human income" - Hi"). This idea was developed by me in articles in English http://www.proza.ru/2019/07/18/1103 ).
I declare that the form of Super co-operatives or Grand artels, which are owned by the entire population, namely - in equal shares every citizen of the country or the world, is optimal for the coming Era of RA (the Era of Robotics and AI), since any co-owner of the co-operative can work the Super-Co-Ops etc. in the appropriate specialty during the period till the artels will go to full automation and unmanned technologies.
The creation of Global and National Super Co-Ops became possible with the emergence of big data, blockchain, supercomputers, AI, and cryptocurrency, i.e. thanks to scientific and technological progress. The time has come to accelerate social progress.
People can work in the People's Corporations etc. for some part of their lives, but they will own their share for all life.
Not lifetime employment and working age from birth to death, but lifetime and non-inherited ownership of an equal share in National or Global Grand Artels together with all other citizens of the country or the world.
This will create an inexhaustible source of "human income" (which may be the main income) for each person, form the "basic class" as the basis of democracy, give everyone equal starting opportunities, and create equality of opportunities for everyone go ahead to heights of Humaneness. No one will leave behind.
Very important are the ideological, sociological and psychological aspects of the activities of the Grand artels and the receipt by each person of "Hi = human income".
An every person should understand that global and national wealth are created by God, Nature, and humans and they belong to every person, whose ancestors and he himself preserved and created these global and national wealth. People are co-holders of the World.
Therefore, the dividends of the Grand artels received by each citizen as "human income" are a well-deserved reward for the result of the combined activities of all previous generations, and not the charity from the state, organizations or VIPs...
And, of course, "human income" is not "a helicopter money".
Mass paying capacity demand will creates favorable conditions for the development of society and the economy.
The mass paying capacity demand of the older generation will create favorable conditions for the rapid development of gerontology, as well as the industry of goods and services for the elderly.
Inevitably, the coming automation will become a period of unrest in the current socio-economic model: as the workforce without work becomes the force of revolutions and protests.
And promises to create a lot of new jobs are either electoral lies of politicians, or a lack of understanding of the possibility of developing and self-learning robotics and AI, but at any case it is a mad attempt to stop the development of world civilization.
The great and natural process of emancipating humanity from labor as we know it has begun.
Does the Pope pray or work?
Does Messi play or work?
Thanks to the Grand artels, the process of releasing labor force redirects this energy of people in the arts, science, sports, crafts, etc. - and this is the best solution for people of any age, race, gender...
Thanks to worldwide and/or nationwide super-cooperative-corporate networks:
1. The economy will become a "full-circular economy" - that is, a "circular economy" in which not only raw materials, waste and energy circulate, but, very importantly, financial resources circulate.
After all, the registers of owners of shares of production and trade, credit and consumer "super-co-ops" will largely coincide with the lists of buyers of their goods and services, which will ensure a constant circulation of money of every citizen "from my pocket to my pocket".
2. In the same way, the sharing-economy will not become one-sided (only share consumption), but "complex sharing" of consumption, production, services...
3. In the distribution of income, along with the current system of "trickle down" will operate a system of income (I propose to call it) "drip irrigation", in which "a drop", or share of income will constantly come to every citizen of the country and/or the world in the form of "Human income"("Hi").
Moreover, to harmonize the "human income" with the profits of the super-co-op it is necessary to apply the principle of "flood-tide".
Because the profits will increase with the growth of productivity not owing of the intensive work of people but thanks to an increase the degree of robotics and automation.
Therefore: an upcoming Era of Robotics & AI (ERARA) isn't a threat for Humanity but a hope on an Era of Eden (ERARAJ).
The rising tide raises all the boats, but the tide raises the small boats first, then the small ships, and finally - the big ships.
In accordance with the principle of "rising tide", the boats of the poorest should be raised first, and the yachts of the billionairs will be raised the last.
That is, with the low profitability of super-cooperatives, dividends can be received only by those members of the cooperative whose total income from all sources is lower than the statistical level of "decent life".
Citizens receive from reserve funds "basic income" as the floor income while "low-tide" period, i.e. during of low profit period of super cooperatives.
The circle of recipients of dividends expands up to a maximum while profits increase ("high-tide" period).
4. It will be launched and gain power so to speak, "the economy of abundance" i.e. "the economy of Eden"/ "Eden-Econ"/ "eden-econ", in which the continuity of the cycles of solvent demand and their respective proposals will turn into an endless "Mobius tape".
While until now, the "economy of abundance" was in principle impossible because of the regular "overproduction crises" caused by the low incomes of the masses of "Their Majesties the End Consumers".
5. The problem of mass unemployment due to robotics and automation will be "passed over".
6. Private and public interests will be harmonized, which will help to solve social, environmental, political and other problems, will open the way to continuous improvement of human, humanity and the world.
7. And so on...
The peak of profitability of "super-cooperatives" in the form of "people's corporations" will come with a high degree of automation and robotization of human activity (i.e., in the heyday of the EraRA - Era of Robotics and Automation as a result of the 4th industrial revolution).
However, "the obvious is often unnoticeable".
To protest against the process of emancipating a person from forced labor and replacing it with the free activity of a free person is just as nonsense as to protest against the abolition of slavery by slaves.
Along with robotics and AI, only geniuses, virtuosos, and "golden fingers" will be engaged in creating all sorts of worldly goods, as well as workaholics in specially saved jobs for them.
That is right: to be "job free" is better than to be jobless.
Those who believe that there will be an endless carnival for people who are free from work are not right. Of course, the sphere of recreation and entertainment will increase significantly, and spiritual and physical culture will flourish.
Scientific and sports olympics, competitions and art festivals will motivate people to reach new heights of humaneness.
"We are not "left" or "right", we go ahead to the heights of humanism".
People will strive to become perfect through all round personal development and the disclosure of talents and abilities. Perfect people will create a perfect all-inclusive society, and a perfect society will create perfect people.
For this we need to solve complicated, but entirely feasible task - without losses and catastrophes to move from the old world picture and outdated model of civilization, which came to the edge of its limits of growth and in which most of the actual problems (and especially future problems) is unsolvable, to a new world picture, a new worldview, a new model of civilization, to new meanings of life...
In the early 1990s, I worked on a philosophical dissertation "the Harmonization of the spiritual and material in human, in society and in the universe". At that time, I refused to present my thesis because of the moral and socio-economic crisis in Russia, but it became the basis for my book "the Justification of Human", published in 1995, two copies of which I gave to the Library of Congress in Washington in 1996.
The book was quite highly regarded in scientific circles.
Unfortunately, the author's original ideas, hypotheses, judgments and conclusions are still not widely known owing to the complexity of the topics raised and the interdisciplinary approach to solving problems, but their relevance and significance are highly likely to grow.
So here are some of them.
"A self-organizing system becomes ready to cognize only when at least two hierarchical levels are created in this system. And the earth's self-organizing system gradually prepares the appearance of the human mind.
Primates are one of the first living creatures through which animal wholeness was destroyed.
After all, it was as a result of the evolution of the Primate nervous system that human appeared - a creature with weak instincts, a flawed being from point of view of the standards of the animal world.
From there, from the welfare of the animal Paradise, he looks like a degenerate animal. But on the other hand, human is the crown of evolution.
The stages of human evolution:
weak instincts (loss of animal wholeness) - ultra-compensative development of the brain, allowing a person to successfully adapt to the environment - (elite brain cells start to rise from subordinate "position of servants" in the system of the body - the emergence of religious and philosophical beliefs that divide human into the immortal soul and mortal body - metamorphosis of consciousness in which the elite brain cells as if alienated from the rest of the cells of the body, the brain becomes "master" of the body.
Thus, philosophical and, above all, religious views that recognize the division of human into an immortal soul and a perishable body played an important role in the development from natural human to spiritual person.
Especially those ideas that interpreted the body as a temple of the soul, not a prison for the soul.
So, alienation of consciousness created Homo Sapiens.
At the same time, thanks to this "gap", the alienated individual consciousness becomes capable of objectivity, which, in turn, is manifested in the "openness of human to the world" and is recognized by many researchers as an essential characteristic of the human being.
Therefore, a human can be characterized as a being that has its roots in the microcosm (body is form, content are cells, substantial agents, "They"), but thinks in terms and images of the macrocosm (personality, Ego , Super-Ego) and enters the higher system of the mega world (Extra-Ego, spiritual substantial agent), and also seeks to know all the worlds in their unity."
(G. Yu. Zherebilov, "Justification of human", 1995).
The Mind Exodus Pyramid is a visualization of the universal principle "Mind Exodus", first formulated by #GennadyZherebilov in the book "Justification of Human", 1995.
Now, in 2020 I would probably add two higher levels:
6. Self-transcedence;
7. Transfiguration...
As you know, a good question eventually becomes a great answer.
I hope this is what happened with my question in this book (p. 86):
"In addition, it is probably possible to raise the question of a certain universal process, which consists in the fact that during the origin and development of a self-organizing cognitive system, a "thinking" core (subsystem) appears in it, which, depending on the level of development of the system, can go through the following stages of relations with the system:
1) a complete dependence on the system, on its lower levels;
2) a certain degree of autonomy;
3) an alienation from the system, from its lower levels;
4) a highest degree of possible independence from the system is a state of non-participating objectivity;
5) an understanding, inclusive, intelligence objectivism - a reasonable base of love the almighty "thinking core" to the system, to internal and external worlds."
This is universal process for macrocosm and microcosm: the evolution of the "thinking core" represents a process like stairs where every next step is a raising to a qualitatively new level of development.
Figuratively speaking, this can be called an "Exodus of the Mind", which "passes over" the barriers between qualitative stages, receiving new degrees of freedom at a new level of development and gaining at the highest stage a quality of "intelligent love", "wise love".
In the light of the biblical Exodus, the action "pass over" gets us the new accent of meaning, namely, "pass over the barrier", i.e. go up to a new stage of quality. Thus The Almighty divided the waters of the sea by stopped the stream of times, the flow of History. The Almighty allowed Moses and chosen people to "pass over" the sea and they came to the other side no longer as slaves…
This universal process in the system of a human being is reflected in its own way in the Maslow Pyramid as a hierarchy of human needs.
We are now in the zone of the stage "alienation from the system, from its lower levels" or at the stage "the highest degree of possible independence from the system - a state of non-participating objectivity".
In my opinion, this can be seen with the naked eye in the relations between rulers, elites and peoples, as well as between the current civilization and nature, the world.
At the same time, there is a growing understanding that the Kingdom of Nature and Global Society is a whole living organism that reacts, sometimes sharply and painfully, to the rapidly increased role of human activity in the Anthropocene.
If human at the sunrise of humanity, by the standards of the animal world, looked like a degenerate animal, a flawed creation, doomed to destruction in the interspecies struggle, then now, in order not to launch a self-fulfilling fake forecast about "inevitable sunset of humanity", we should not become hostages of views from the coming Era of Robotics & AI on human as an uncompleted robot, who is doomed to becomes "a looser" if he will be not stuffed with microchips, because natural human is not able to compete as worker with robotics and AI.
Humans Are Co-Creators!
In this regard, the need to form and spread a new view on "an above price human", a new worldview that includes the ideals of world religions and a new scientific picture of the world, which will become the basis for the harmonious development of human, the global community and the world in the transition from the world as we know it to the world we dream of.
The phrase of some economists that the thesis of the pricelessness of human life was invented by those who do not want to pay proper price for human lives is similar to the belief of a gigolo that those who do not want to pay for intimacy talk about love.
To pass to a qualitatively new level of human development, it is necessary to cultivate a culture of "wise love".
Thus, having previously recognized as an essential characteristic of modern humans the presence of a certain degree of alienation of consciousness, we can now recognize that the essential characteristic of the human of the future will be the presence of a "wisely loving", truly free consciousness.
And since this process is universal, both in societies and in the states, it is necessary to replace the alienated consciousness of the ruling elites with a "wise love" for the people, and of human civilization - for the world.
In other words, in the relations between humanity and nature, as well as in the relations between government and people, we need to develop to the stage of understanding, participating objectivism, to the wise love of the "thinking core" for the inner and outer worlds.
The state should be a "hieroglyph of reason", as the philosopher Hegel taught, but not a stupid machine for suppressing the people, as has often happened in history.
The Logic of Love leads us to understand that the spirit of Savior has to reborn in each of us. That is, each person must take on the sins (the consequences of erroneous actions and thoughts) of all who have ever lived on the planet Earth.
More precisely, each of us is doomed to bear the full weight of our own and others' sins (mistakes), because they are either in us (i.e. transmitted to us through genes as inherited diseases), or around us (i.e. the consequences of the wrong actions of previous generations in the Earth System). And by and large, it can be argued that Salvation consists in the Atonement of all earthly sins, that is, in the correction of all errors.
A Homo Sapiens has to become a Saviour! And as human is the subject of (at least) three levels of the Universe he will have to carry out his saving mission in the micro-, macro - and mega world...
Including using the latest achievements of science and technology to constantly monitor possible threats to humanity, the planet Earth and near-earth space from human activities and processes in the microcosm (viruses, bacteria), in the mega world (comets, meteorites), etc., trying to avoid the development of adverse trends and their consequences in advance.
And since the universal essential characteristic of the human individual is the ability of neuro-dynamic systems of the personal level of human brain self-organization to advance development, this opens up the widest opportunities for creativity and self-improvement.
In other words, the comprehensive and harmonious development of the every person can become the meaning of life. Human should never again be valued only as a "workforce".
The life of a Human Creator is above any price. After all, the most valuable thing is what is not for sale.
Therefore, gets the way of acquiring perfection, changing himself and changing the environment for the better, a person will significantly affect the change for the better of his future, will be able to "pass over" the barriers to raise at a qualitatively new level of development for each and everyone.
In the sphere of world order and state building, such a harmonizing concept could be my idea of a world based on the coexistence of parts as a whole on the universal principle of "unmixed and indivisible", but not a "hot mixing pot".
In the socio-economic sphere such harmonizing idea could be the concept of "The All-Inclusive Society and Economy", built on the principles of full inclusion and cooperation of all with all for the prosperity of each person in the New Gardens of Eden that described by me in articles and the book "Transfiguration of the World. Bases of Good Will and Sharism"
The Code is the Key.
Unfortunately, madmen dream to privatize the "Gardens of Eden" and radically solve the problem of "useless people", which, as madmen think, have become too much on the Earth – on a small planet with limited resources.
The essence of these virulent misanthropic ideas can be described with great certainty in the form of a perverted "Paradigm of the Paradise" :
EraRAMS = EraRA + MS, where MS is abbreviated the Misanthropic Society.
The Society without a healthy human morality will enters into "the era of rams", when the "unkind shepherds" lead to the slaughter the "herd of rams"… This is the wrong code. This is the fake key...
Humans need a true Key.
This symbolic key to the gates of the New Eden, or the code that opens information access to the project "The Era of RAJ / Era of Eden", could be represented as the so-called "Paradigm of Paradise", i.e. a new paradigm of spiritual and socio-economic development of humanity in the 21st century:
EraRAJ = EraRA + J ,
Hi-tech + Hi .
EraRAJ (in slavonian) is the Era of PARADISE, or the Era of Eden;
EraRA is the Era of Robotics & AI, the Era of Robotics and Automation. In a broad sense, EraRA includes 4IR, Society5.0, etc.;
J is Joy & Justice, Moral Imperatives, Absolute;
Hi is "Human Income" / dividends from cellular Honeycomb Property / HoPe.

Etudes were created on the basis of articles and books by G. Yu. Zherebilov (philosophical monograph) "Justification of Human", Lipetsk, 1995, "Transfiguration of the World", Lipetsk, 2003, using information from Wikipedia, encyclopedias and dictionaries, and translated by assistance Yandex and Google.
The Code of Exodus. Etude 7. Etude "New picture of the world".
I am sure that philosophy is not only a humanitarian science, but also an art.
Often a simple artwork has more sense than a multi-volume scientific treatise.
So here I will make a sketch, a etude of "The New picture of the world".
The basis of the painting is canvas.
Let it be the piece of the sail that was torn by a hurricane in 1972 during our voyage on the barque "Comrade" from Odessa to Baltimore.
However, it can be any natural canvas.
The main thing is that the threads intertwined with each other, creating a canvas - a single basis for the overall picture of the world. This is a symbol of "cooperation of all with all" for the common good goals.
On the canvas, I applied an even layer of the priming.
This is a symbol of equal income for every person in the world - "human income", or dividends from Global and National Grand Artels (including "basic income").
This is the basic class, the base of a thriving economy and a global democratic community, and equality of starting opportunities.
When a child learns to walk, all his attention and all his efforts are focused on standing on his feet.
Also, when humanity rose to its feet, the priority was the economy necessary for the survival of the human race.
But when a person stands masterfully on his feet, he goes forward to high life goals.
So the economy in the Era of Robotics and AI will remain the basic, but not the main goal of people. It will be a global economy, working for the benefit of every citizen of the world and planet Earth.
I drew continents, seas and oceans.
On them, with strokes of multi-colored paints, I denote many states and world communities with different or similar cultures and traditions that will coexist peacefully on the basis of “constellation”: not mixed and inseparable. But everywhere and always people will live in dignity and prosperity.
Finally, a subframe, a frame.
These frameworks are democratically elected global organizations whose purpose is to ensure the prosperity of every person, humanity, planet Earth …
And if the subframe provides high standards for the vital needs of the world system, doing worldly affairs, then the “main frame” is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of a strategy for the comprehensive development of person in harmony with earthly civilization, nature, the Universe ...
Here I drew the rough etude.
(The Vow To The World - http://www.proza.ru/2019/06/25/1161 ).
The Code of Exodus. Etude 8. PostScript. P.S.
"The PostCOVID Economy",
"The PostCoronavirus Economy",
"Post-coronavirus model of the economy".
"Little liar" - a new coronavirus independently or with the connivance or assistance of some forces significantly affected the current world order and the prevailing worldview.
15.04. 2020 in the world, 130 500 people died from the COVID19 pandemic, 482 000 recovered, and 2,001 000 people were infected.
People hope to create an effective vaccine and medicine.
Nowadays people passing a mass test for coronavirus.
But on the other hand, the COVID19 pandemic forces people, countries, the world community and global civilization to pass tests for readiness to pass over into a new stage of development.
The COVID19 pandemic is a kind of stress test for outdated models of society and economy before entering the Era of High morality and high technologies with the transition to new sources of energy and the emancipation of humanity from work for survival.
Our future depends on each person and all together:
whether it's "a backward somersault", "a flip" on the same place or "a jump forward and up."
"To be or not to be?" - that is a question on which the persons answer with their actions"...
"The test for humanism" is the main test that both a human and the humanity must pass successfully.
"Humanism is the key to the prosperity of humanity" - will be a worthy result of this main test.
Other tests are also important and their could be called "margin call from the future".
For example, current models of society and economy are tested for their ability to successfully operate in the conditions of the coming Future.
From the point of view of the future, a model of the economy will successfully pass the test for the "post-Coronavirus model of the economy", if it meets the main criteria:
1. Not privatization, not nationalization, but humanization is the main driver of the economy (the economy works for every person).
2. The lifetime payable demand of each person.
3. Sustainable supply of quality goods and services thanks to the rapid growth of automation using robotics, AI and other achievements of scientific, technical and social progress.
Therefore, a quick return to the previously achieved, but lost due to the COVID19 pandemic, heights of the prevailing current socio-economic model, in fact, it is not a best option.
Because it looks like a somersault in the air and landing in the same place - that is spectacular but ineffectively.
Moreover, international financial organizations, national governments are willing to pay trillions of dollars of budgets' / peoples' money for this "jump in the same place" effect.
The COVID19 pandemic has dramatically demonstrated the inability of the current outdated socio-economic model to support the effective demand of the population for goods and services, even with a not very significant decline in demand for workforce.
In other words, the inevitable and necessary transition to full automation of economic processes and to new types of energy in the current socio-economic conditions will lead to human and global tragedies.
Sovereign funds in which citizens have shares are good, but when each citizen is not fully, simply and constantly able to monitor the flow of their capital, this creates risks of manipulation of citizens' shares by the managers of these funds.
In extreme cases, the absence of simple and obvious links between a citizen and his incomes leads to the occupation by the oligarchs of people's shares in the common wealth.
The best solution and answer to the challenges of the 21st century is the Constellations of People's Corporations, super-co-operatives, Grand Artels, in each of which each citizen can monitoring his shares and evaluate the level of management skill of top-managers or AI.
Etude 9. Postpostscriptum - Impressions. Aurora.
Author's note: in this Etude the author planned, in fact, to complete a new painting of the world and in a few lines briefly outline not yet so obvious trends in Global Development, finally open roadmaps with hidden fatal dangers and milestones for the optimal fairway to the paradise harbor.
But the pilot is usually invited by the captains of the ships.
And while there are no such invitations, the pilot does not go to the captain's bridge.
The pilot can only wish the passengers and crews of the ships happy voyages.
Nevertheless the pilot is ready to lead a caravans of ships as soon as the pilot receives the message: "Welcome aboard!"

Gennady Zherebilov tribute to 180 jubilee of #Monet Oscar-Claud Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a painter, a founder of Impressionist painting. The term #Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting "Impression, soleil levant" (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874. Monet freed himself from theory, saying "I like to paint as a bird sings." As a practicing philosopher and Visionary I freed myself from theory thanks to the mantra "I like
to think as a bird sings". Monet tried to capture the changing of light and the passing of the season. I try to capture the changes of Eras and Paintings of the World creating the Impressionist literature by Etudes of #CodeOfExodus

The so-called paradox of the stone: "Could God create a stone so heavy that even He could not lift it?"
I think so: God is omnipotent, but also omniscient. Therefore, God foresees the result and will not begin nonsense.
The real main threat now: humans are becoming omnipotent sooner than omniscient. And leaders of that crazy racing can start the political, social, scientific projects without sufficient knowledge about real mid-term and, moreover, about long-term results.
That is: people can create such a heavy stone (problem) that no one can lift it (solve).
As an experienced seafarer, I declare: without updated navigation charts (a new painting of the world), the captain of the ship will not give the command "full ahead", because there is a great risk of shipwreck and death of both the crew and passengers (humanity) and the ship (planet Earth). That is why a new painting of the world is so important and necessary.
Stop sending ravens (dystopias and utopias) that carry us into a false future. It's time to send the dove from the ship so that the dove will show us the true course.
