SCIENTIFIC HUMANISM - nihil obstat felicitas (XI)

6. Between Union and Fractionation

The term "humanity" implies a form of collective and social association that can be generalized to all human beings anywhere in the world. 

It makes us feel good. 

But it is false. We could just as well talk about the population of orangutans or the population of kangaroos in general on the planet, and the case would be very similar in practice.

The evidence for this statement is simple: on the one hand, there are numerous and extremely deadly armies in the world, obviously designed to attack, kill, and defend themselves against each other. On the other hand, there are the so-called "police" who patrol every city in the world day and night, trying to prevent crime and murder.

When we think of 'humanity', we imagine a united planet populated by humans. However, when we look at the world, we see a huge number of human entities in conflict with each other: countries, races, religions, and even families in the economic sphere. This is the result of a constant class struggle, a struggle for resources (capitalism), and many other struggles for irrelevant reasons.

Scientific humanism proposes a model for the development of true humanity and planetary civilization, through what we call the great human family. 

This concept is radically different from what we have today, so it will require the progressive implementation of protocols. 

In fact, it is the most important core of action of Scientific Humanism and the only sure way to reach the paradigms of consent and reciprocity.
