A proposal for global human organisation

On the organisation of the species

Last updated: January 2020

There have been many attempts at human organisation at scale

capitalism, communism, socialism, monarchy, aristocracy, plutocracy, feudalism, oligarchy, republicanism, democracy, theocracy, dictatorship, totalitarianism, tribalism, federalism....

It is time to think again, and to think bigger.

Summary

Nation states have been useful tools during the evolution of the human species. However nation states, and more specifically the cultures that define them, are responsible for all wars, land disputes, tariffs, barriers, borders, tax havens, trade wars, currency disputes and economic migration. They actively promote cultural differences that prevent us working together as a global society, and they are responsible for preventing global responses to natural disasters and man-made problems.

We should at least consider taking another step in the evolution of our organisations, and develop a single global system based on a global culture, to resolve the major issues confronting our species today.

This paper proposes a system, based on evolution of our prior experiments in organising ourselves at scale, that would

Develop a common, top level, global culture based on common legal system, taxation, language, wealth management, free movement, currency, ethics, values, and most importantly a common species vision.
Weaken nation states to become administrative regional entities rather than competitive cultural entities.
Provide common global services (education, health, law and order, infrastructure, social, agriculture, environmental management, taxation, electoral system).
Be regulated using common operational processes based on both elected and professional bodies.

The proposed system, in theory, reduces competition that causes conflict, enables competition that helps us develop faster, and allows us to tackle major issues such as wars, human inputs to climate change, migration, inequality, drug abuse, government debt, housing, land disputes, tax evasion, and conflicts between social and commercial aims.

It also proposes a global finance model that can free us from our current government debt burdens, and provide all the investment required to:

Raise living standards in the ‘developing world’
Consolidate living standards in the ‘developed world’
Support an environmental transition to greener technologies to help stabilise our technological based existence within our ecosystem.
Provide the research financing for the ultimate aim of transitioning our entire planetary ecosystem to an interplanetary one.

Too good to be true? Maybe. Have a read and then make up your mind.

Assumptions

There are a number of things you should already understand in order to make sense of this paper

Cultures bind people into common groups of ‘Us’ which exclude ‘Them’.
A person can belong to many cultures.
Evolution and the nature of competition - Darwin’s ‘On the origin of the species’.
Law, money, nation, religion, border – these are all man made concepts, that only exist because some of us agree they do.
The nature of our globe, its place in the changing universe, and our fragile existence on it.
The nature of a human, which is base animal, whose behaviour is shaped by genetic capabilities and education, morals and ethics.
Our Actions are determined by mental models that are learned through life, become fixed with age, but can remain malleable with effort.
