Dear Everyone,

The relative and absolute capitalization of sinning and what people call “evil” is causing a downward spiral feedback loop in our society.  People often thrive on competition, with wrongdoing frequently serving as their method of competing.    Sins are meant to be forgiven, but too often politics and law use relative and absolute sinning as a tool for extreme competition to get ahead of one another.  This caused more and more sin.  Sinning in a religious context is meant to be forgiven, but too often our society uses it as a tool for competition instead.  Sins are turned into movies, newscasts, tools for firing, tools for not hiring, tools for getting ahead, and societal stratification.  Some people go to extremes and say that sinners are so-called bad people or evil people, but we are all sinners.  This competition may be the source of all downward spiral feedback loops in society.  The capitalization of sinning from greed helps the greedy get ahead in our society, as they call for more judgment and police to find sinners and put them through reactionary “justice”.  This is when the real blame game begins.  Isn’t sinning used to divide society and undermine fairness, equity, and unity?   Most sinning starts because of a lack of opportunity to get ahead and be satisfied in our world of sinning.  It also begins with greed.  Instead, I suggest reconciliation and forgiveness for everyone, with a focus on unity and equity-building.  Helping people become free of sin is a building process.  Once this is accomplished, people become free to explore all life has to offer.  This helps avoid entry into capitalization and the downward spiral feedback loops associated with sinning.

Sincerely,

Richard Thomas Simmons

Dear Friends, Colleagues, Leaders, and Fellow Earthlings,

Richard Thomas Simmons here. I have a dream. Guided by the wisdom of the past, present, and future, I’m writing to you today, not with despair but with a fervent hope born from the cumulative totality of circumstances. Our planet, our shared home, is facing a crisis of unprecedented scale. Like a body succumbing to hypothermia, Earth, our cultures, nature, and its people are losing their vital positive energy, its delicate balance threatened by the escalating consequences of anthropogenic complexity, controversy, controlled chaos, irrational decisions, out-of-control problems, and inequity. But I believe we can, and must, reverse this downward spiral. I call it globalization controlling domination and infinite variabilization of hierarchical structures. This isn’t merely an environmental challenge; it’s a systemic failure of imagination, interconnectedness, and our collective responsibility. We’ve built a world governed by divisive hierarchies, fragmented systems, pollution of all types, and a relentless pursuit of short-term gains at the expense of long-term sustainability and stability. The time for incremental change is over. We need a radical holistic transition from the current condition to a desired future, a leap toward a future characterized by unity, collaboration, and ecological harmony.

Imagine a world where the “We-Me Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle” replaces Earth’s antiquated command and control hierarchical structures. It represents a world where governments, corporations, communities, and individuals collaborate as a single, dynamic super-organism, each contributing unique strengths to a shared purpose: restoring and preserving our planet. Envision a global network of knowledge, a “Unidiversity” where all disciplines interweave, fostering innovation and exploration, holistic living, holistic learning, holistic investing, and holistic problem-solving on an unprecedented scale. Thus, it includes everyone, everything, everywhere on Earth. Imagine our militaries on Earth, once instruments of war, retooled for ecological restoration, humanity restoration, and holistic endeavors, deploying their resources and expertise to combat deforestation, missions similar to universities, restore societal and natural ecosystems, and combat climate change disasters.  This transition requires a shift in our mindset, a move away from the artificial complexities of our current systems towards a more straightforward, more efficient, humanitarian, and ecologically integrated way of life. We must simplify our gut feel political structures, economic models, and social interactions to reflect better the elegant simplicity and interconnectedness of the natural world.  Corporations, too, must evolve. They must shed their exploitative greed practices and embrace a new paradigm: becoming ecologically conscious niche organizations, operating within the natural limits of their environment and society, and contributing positively to the broader ecosystem. Profit shouldn’t be the sole success metric; ecological and social well-being must take center stage as a profit percentage becomes ecological equilibrium compensation for our holistic well-being.

This isn’t a utopian fantasy; it’s a blueprint for survival. We have the knowledge, the resources, and – most importantly – the collective potential to create a more harmonious and sustainable future with each of us as stakeholders and stewards. But we must act now. The urgency is palpable. Nuclear proliferation and planetary ecological breakdown aren’t distant threats; they are looming realities.

How do we begin? We start by fostering dialogue, connecting, and sharing our visions for a better world. We begin by demanding systemic change from our governments and corporations as they transition to a holistic cycle. We start by making conscious choices in our daily lives—reducing our carbon footprint, supporting sustainable businesses or niche organizations, and actively participating in community-based initiatives from local to Earth scale.

From local to broader scales, maps will integrate us all and unite us by geographic coordinates of knowledge. We will become an earth of unidiversity, where each coordinate represents a portion of universal knowledge worthy of exploring and researching. We will become a research explorer planet where, with integrated devices, we will unify the vastness of human knowledge and understanding as we all get involved. By seamlessly connecting local data and coordinates, these integrated maps will serve as powerful tools for collaboration, allowing people from all corners of the world to engage, share insights, and solve problems together. Whether through geographic, cultural, or scientific lenses, the unification of knowledge will empower us to address global challenges, promote sustainability, prioritize, and celebrate the diversity of our shared human experience. With each device, cyclic system, and map, we move closer to creating a truly interconnected world where information flows freely and exploration knows no limits and bounds past, present, and future. Essentially, the Earth becomes a cumulative totality University or Unidiversity for exploration by all of us and each of us, Earth Research Explorer Cycle. This will allow everyone to go to university to study, research, and explore whatever they want. These coordinates and maps will allow us to live, learn, explore, and invest on Earth. Hence, to transition desired future conditions from current conditions, we can prescribe holistic remedies for people and our natural environment to adapt to current conditions holistically.

Let this be our collective call to action. Let us move beyond the limitations of our current systems and embrace the boundless possibilities of a genuinely unified and sustainable striving future. Let’s work together to build that upward spiral, a future where humanity thrives in harmony with the Earth. We must begin living in a world of holistic problem-solving, considering relative importance, priority, and significance. We must bring everyone up to similarity equity out of the survival zone level and a unique purpose, unique diversity, and desired future conditions. To get this transition world started, we all need to be accepted and included on earth; in doing so, we need to be loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving to bring around conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, faith, and sustainable striving happiness.  Therefore, we must have an Earth ethic of natural Earth striving, natural humanity striving, and natural spirituality striving with God’s approach to living on a free planet Earth.  Let’s begin today.

Warmly yours,

Richard Thomas Simmons

Most sharing ideas are meant for everyone. This is especially true for rideshare, as it makes the most sense. It should be like Boolean, opt-in or opt-out, available or not available. With the integrated device, a user simply chooses whether to be involved or not. If you’re too busy at the time, then you merely opt out. It’s kind of like hitchhiking. It is meant to be an eco geo idea. The closer you are to someone who needs a ride, the more likely you will be chosen as a possible rideshare person.  For example, being chosen is like winning the lottery, providing extra money or energy in your pocket. The first to respond is the one that gets the ride. I envisioned that this idea was for both short-distance rides and long-distance rides. It all depends on the eco geo scheduler whether you are somebody who has opted in or opted out.

The same is true with houses, homes, and shelter share.  However, it’s simply going to be a matter of whether the location is desirable or not. People often seek places to relax or enjoy the environment. Sometimes, it’s convenient to be closest to specific events, etc. However, including everyone means you could choose a house close to your relative or a friend. The idea is pretty much the same: you can opt-in, opt-out, or not get involved at all.  If you choose a home share, the person may be your friend accepting you in his or her home.   Shelter share is just any other available type of shelter, like tents, yurts, huts, campers, boats, hotel rooms, camps, resorts, etc.  Initially, I thought it’d be a great idea to have sharing be about similarities and differences. For example, if you are a teacher, all the teacher’s homes, houses, and shelters would be available to choose from.  If you want to meet somebody different, you could select anybody but a teacher.  This way, you can choose fascinating people to visit your home. Otherwise, you can live on a farm for a week to get a different experience.  These ideas are really about everyone, everything, everywhere on earth.  These ideas are part of an idea called Earth Research Explorers and the unidiversity.

I like the idea of combining everything into something called everything rents and shares as part of the Earth unidiversity research exploration cycle since most ideas are about living, learning, exploring, and investing. 

To get this transition world started, we all need to be accepted and included on earth; in doing so, we need to be loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving to bring around conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, faith, and sustainable striving happiness.  Therefore, we must have an Earth ethic of natural earth striving, natural humanity striving, and natural spirituality striving with God’s approach to living on a free planet Earth.

Adapting to desired future conditions is rational. However, it requires all of us. We need to transition to this desired future condition on Earth. She needs us to be stakeholders and stewards to protect her from out-of-control greed and how things are in a world where we care for each other, our environment, and our commons. To start this holistic, well-intentioned, well-motivated idea, we must begin the candle-lighting ceremony on Earth by sending a letter to everyone on Earth. In doing so, we must inform everyone that we are all together; transitioning is about everyone on Earth.

Otherwise, God collaborating with us may have planned something that mimics a natural disturbance or ecological succession worldwide. This may mean that the understory species on Earth will begin to grow and overtop the traditional way things are in the current condition. A balancing act on Earth will start, giving everybody the relative freedom to contribute to everything on Earth. This balancing act will provide people marginalized by globalization-controlling domination an opportunity to survive in a holistic, well-intentioned, well-motivated way where they get credit for what they do and their creativity and contributions. Also, the similarity equity foundation will mean no one on earth will be in a preventable suffering condition anymore. All wars, militarism, terrorism, mass shootings, violence, crime, and destruction of our environment will cease to occur, bringing a holistic, well-motivated, positive, energy-rational decision-making world with all of us involved.  We will all transition to a loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, genuine kindness striving world to bring around conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, faith, and sustainable striving happiness. Our earth ethic will then include natural Earth striving, natural humanity striving, and natural spirituality striving with God’s approach to living on Earth.

When making decisions in this world, the weights are often arbitrary and capricious. Rational decision-making requires weights by relative significance, importance, and priority. We must shift away from a political world where weights are based on politics. Politics can be introduced only at the end of a rational decision-making process to reach a decision. Therefore, politics should represent gut feeling at the end of a decision-making process. Today, we put politics first. I would like to see decisions made on science first by including everybody on earth as data collectors, observers, ground truthers, hypothesis generators, monitors, etc. For example, decision-making in the political world often relies on the market-based economy as a priority. Take, for instance, the horrible fires on the West Coast.  People would suggest buying more fire trucks or adding more personnel using the market-based economy approach. It is just like the crime problem in the United States; where we add more police officers, the more horrific crime we have. However, it often has more to do with the intensity of the news reporting.  However, I am in favor of solving the problem of crime and wildfires before they have a chance to occur or using holistic methods to prevent such horrible loss of life and property damage. In the case of wildfires, the next generation of buildings should be fireproof homes and businesses. The lost homes are in a fire-prone ecosystem, which won’t change anytime soon.  Alternatively, in the case of crime, we must map it out and have everyone get involved and include everyone. Including everyone on earth would mean no one can get into their survival zone suffering level. Everyone will get ecological equilibrium compensation to keep them above those survival zones’ suffering line in the form of equity. As an analogy, you can think of it as Social Security for everybody on earth when they need it and want it. However, in this situation, people must contribute somehow, however they’re able. The out-of-survival zone equity line is funded by the profit percentage of all the businesses and corporations on earth. The roles and the similarity foundation are called similarity roles and primarily involve the Commons on Earth.  Suppose we are all holistically included and accepted on earth. In that case, we have a similar condition where we take care of each other, our environment, and our Commons together, as we are all stakeholders and stewards of our natural resources, environment, and society.  On top of this similarity foundation is a unique diversity pyramid where everyone can have their life purpose exceptionally diversely, which satisfies most people’s holistic adaptive capitalism instinct.

In conclusion, the following steps are recommended for rational decision-making.

1. Include everyone on earth
2. Accept everyone on earth
3. Eliminate the liberty concept, and then everyone becomes relatively free
4. Everyone becomes hypothesis generators, monitors, ground truthers, observers, and data collectors according to their interests and the needs of the broader communities
5. Everyone is brought up to a similarity level in the similarity foundation as a redundancy
6. Everyone contributes to the Commons in a relative way
7. Everyone is involved in science
8. Everyone becomes members of communities, from local to global.
9. Everyone is involved in a community census
10. Everyone becomes holistically incentivized with inspirational incentives
11. Voting is done in a rational decision-making way
12. Rational decision-making should be employed, getting ideas from everybody on earth
13. Everyone should be involved in politics to get a gut feel after the rational decision-making process
14. Everyone is involved in a similar and unique diversity way, leading to similarity, Commons, an exceptionally unique life’s purpose, and exceptional unique diversity in holistic adaptive capitalism.
15. As a redundancy, all religions should be brought together in a similarity foundation, including a unique diversity pyramid to have diversity, unity, and similarity among all faiths.  Agreement with what they have in common is essential.  Anyone and everyone can go to any House of God on Earth.
16. Everyone on Earth goes through holistic inclusion while receiving the integrated device
17. Everyone becomes holistic, positive energy, well-motivated people in a loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, genuine kindness striving way to bring about conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, faith, and sustainable striving happiness in context with natural earth striving, natural humanity striving, and natural spirituality with God approach to living on Earth.

Serenopathic drugs of natural origin may satisfy cumulative totality impact assessment.  There are apparent drugs that help in our world with pain.  However, it has been difficult to do a cumulative totality impact assessment to understand it.  It confuses me sometimes because God gave us our natural resources, environment, and minds to determine what to use in nature.  These are so-called licit drugs that are derived initially from nature but may go through synthetic processing that may not be healthy for us.  What comes to mind as far as illicit drugs are concerned is marijuana. I know it has been approved for use in most states, but the federal government is still against it.  The other thing that comes to mind is natural mushrooms and their use as food, teas, etc.  It leaves people very confused as to what to do.  We need a cumulative totality impact assessment to determine the cumulative totality of health potential on both the person and broader levels up to society.  With the We Me Earth Unidiversity Earth Research Explorers Cycle, everyone contributes to understanding things like this. Since everyone is involved, everyone goes through their own experiences and can shed light on everything that contributes to a cumulative totality impact assessment.  Therefore, this cycle contributes to finding knowledge that is close to reality about whether to do something or not.  It is my philosophy that those drugs that are closer to nature may be healthier for you.  However, the pharmaceutical industry produces drugs that are highly manufactured and altered, making them unnatural, which leads me to believe that they could be contributing to cancer.  The healthiest natural drugs are natural endorphins produced when involved with strength, fitness, and conditioning.  Hence, strength, fitness, and conditioning are the most holistic way forward.  However, when it’s not an option, serenopathic drugs of natural origin may be a solution to our problems

Earth Research Explorers identified nature as worthy of everyone exploring, as well as humanity and spirituality with God. Interestingly, in the year 396-430ad or so, Saint Augustine professed that we should question the beauty of the air, the beauty of the sea, the beauty of the sky, and the beauty of the earth. I think God wants us to explore the world because the more you understand the beauty of the world, the more you will understand God. Augustine further says that Nature is constantly changing, which means it adapts to us as humans.  This also validates the need to research and explore our planet. Consequently, it makes sense that exploration of the earth and nature Leads us closer to God. Maybe we can learn more about God by exploring nature and learning about God from the Bible.  I learned about Saint Augustine from the Catholic catechism. (as read by Father Mike Schmitz  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRpDxjB9K9U).   Saint Augustine supports Earth Research Explorers and the Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle.  My early revelation about God in nature was when I learned about serotinous cones within fire-prone ecosystems in the western United States. It was hard for me to believe that evolution could have created serotinous cones so seeds could be dispersed and opened on the landscape only when fire was present.  God also wants us to be stewards and stakeholders of Earth and nature. Learning about nature helps us to become holistic, well-motivated, and positive energy people.  If we create digital monuments all over planet Earth, we can have a university on Earth to explore.  Likewise, it will enable everyone on earth to go to college or university throughout their lives.  This idea reminds me that it is like going on vacation and learning everything you can learn while getting credit.  One could tailor one’s interests according to one’s desires and life’s purpose. They could focus more on nature, humanity, and spirituality with God’s approach to living on Earth. Having digital coordinates as monuments on planet Earth allows us to explore them at our own pace.  This idea also allows everyone to go to school or university throughout their lifetime, starting when they are children.  While living, learning, exploring, and investing on planet Earth, we can also get things done while we are there. It is similar to missions and the need to tend to our forests, lakes, rivers, humanity, and spirituality.  Tending to the needs of our world, missions, and explorations can be accomplished from local to global.  It is also like filling up a digital diary throughout your lifetime to have memories to last your and your descendant’s lifetimes.  That would be a great way to monitor change as multiple generations get involved.  Each generation could hypothesize changes that occur from generation to generation. Hence, we will be able to question the beauty of the Earth and tend to the cumulative totality of our needs while experiencing joy.

We must transition to a holistic, well-motivated, positive energy living, learning, exploring, and investing experience on earth. We must transition from a negative energy, reactionary, reductionistic world. In doing so, we must consider relative priorities, relative significance, and relative importance in our decisions.  Also, we must prioritize a holistic, well-motivated, positive energy and holistic inclusion of everybody on earth. Everyone on earth must be holistically accepted and included.  I call this a holistic blobification effort; over time, more and more people get blobifyed.  As each person receives acceptance and is included, they, too, start holistic blobification for everybody else; therefore, it is kind of like a candle-lighting ceremony representing an exponential progression. If everyone were an earth research explorer or a nature-striving/humanity-striving person, we could use this as the unifying approach to living on Earth. This unifying principle will include everyone, everything, everywhere on earth. Instead of everyone becoming police officers, we can become nature-striving lovers, humanity-striving lovers, and spirituality-striving God-approach lovers.  We should all strive to be loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving to bring about conditions of comfort, joy, love, faith, and sustainable striving happiness to fulfill those conditions of natural humanity, striving for nature striving and natural spirituality striving with God approach.   We should start appreciating what God gave us and caring for our resources, environment, people, and nature.  Therefore, we become stakeholders and stewards of everything, everyone, everywhere on earth. Then, everyone on Earth can receive their well-planned integrated device from the Earth Unidiversity Earth Research Explorers Cycle.

Learning from Miraculous Nature

Rick Simmons

10/16/2024

Nature is miraculous. It was meant for us to learn as much as we could. Learning from nature helps humanity in many ways. God also wanted us to learn from Nature, People, the Natural Environment, Humanity, and the Bible. He tried to put things through a positive energy lens in the context of positive energy, nature.  However, you can also learn about extreme competition from nature and functions like a predator feeding off prey in our world. It depends on the way we look at our world that matters.  I see nature as a miraculous creation because it teaches us to adapt and evolve towards a more desired future, like ecological succession.  As succession occurs, we adapt to a more stable climax superorganism desired future condition taking care of our people, planet, and everything else.  If we were all part of ecological niche organizations functioning in the context of Holistic Nature and Holistic Humanity, we would always understand our positioning as it relates to our natural environment and humanity.  Ecological niche organizations are like holistic science. They strive to do no harm and err on the side of caution while keeping the context holistic because everything is related to everything else.   If we were all niche organizations, we would function together with everything else like we have started to do in our business world. However, there is too much extreme competition, price points, and many brands and material goods. Accordingly, there is too much waste and too much waste of potential positive energy. There should be a similarity foundation planning level that determines our needs first rather than blindly following our dreams like the American dream.  Holistic planning helps guide us towards desired future conditions instead of blindly pursuing the American dream alone. We need a map to guide us in the right direction as well. It is like repeatedly locating the same kind of business in the same poor location and expecting a different result each time. This is sort of like false logic in many ways. Traditional business is crazy in many ways.  Why not put the American dream in context with holistic rationality, holistic reasonableness, and realistic holistic dreams of all of us together as a similarity condition?  I have noticed that several people have learned that Nature is a sort of guide towards a more holistic future, like the concept of “greening” our cities by planting trees and parks.  I have also noticed community gardens growing on rooftops and in our communities worldwide.  Bringing green space, nature, and gardens to our cities and communities makes much sense and should be prioritized worldwide.  Niche organizations also have niche products, creating holistic context and connectivity to everything else. These niche products also strive to do no harm and err on the side of caution because they work together with a natural system instead of against it.  Therefore, niche products produce nothing but positive energy fruit in our world in context with everything else. Hence, they, too, require extensive planning instead of blindly following an out-of-context American dream.  It would be great to work together with planning, environmental justice, social justice, environmental organizations, and a natural earth striving humanity as well.  Ecological equilibrium compensation ought to be the future dynamic funding mechanism, and it should be part of the holistic planning effort and show us where and when to allocate.  In a way, how we do things today is planning out of context with holistic rationality.  Ecological equilibrium compensation anticipates and strives to determine needs ahead of time by an impact assessment and needs assessment instead of waiting around for reactionary mechanisms. It is more of a systematic approach, keeping everything in equilibrium instead of out-of-control oscillations associated with instability.  By knowing nature, humanity, and all the other teachings, we can do what God wants us to do.  Consequently, we will strive towards a more holistic future for everyone everywhere on Earth.  Learning and exploring Nature is vital.

War

Richard Thomas Simmons

10/10/2024

Even though people involved in the wartime economy are tremendously intelligent and logical, on the broadest holistic scale, war is Earth’s most ignorant, irrational concept. Imagine the contributions they could make to a holistic economy. Generally, it represents a tremendous waste of energy to blow up infrastructure and all people’s homes and buildings, not to mention the extreme loss of lives. Foolishly, war is pollution and creates vast amounts of pollution.  Moreover, it causes people to suffer in extreme ways, not to mention all the death and destruction.  It is like a tremendous, manufactured hurricane that goes in and completely wastes an area with the expectation to build it up again. War is dumb.  Hence, it makes no sense to do such a crazy thing.  It is one major reason we need unification on Earth.  My greatest fear is that war is part of the infinite variabilization toolbox.  In this circumstance, war is a distraction and diversion to something else of greater value than those considered expendable geographies.

We must transition to a similar foundation everywhere on Earth: loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness, striving to have comfort, joy, love, hope, faith, and sustainable happiness. War satisfies none of the above criteria; it is irrational. Unless we transition to the above foundation, it will be easy to manufacture war as distractions and diversions from other big-picture concepts on Earth.  While we create this foundation, it makes sense to start planning around the scarcity issue people discuss with current economic theory.  Hence, the satisfaction of the foundation, coupled with planning on Earth, will bring us closer to desired future conditions. 

The We Me cycle allows us to loudly and proudly tell those in so-called power that war is dumb. It may take everyone on Earth to share this perspective, but it is worth it. A social media image of a crying little girl with dirt and scratches on her face in war-torn areas reminds us of the urgency of stopping all wars on Earth forever. It is a good idea to share this image around the world.

Once we end war forever, we will transition funding militaries with munitions, bombs, weaponry, tanks, fighter jets, submarines, atomic bombs, and all the infrastructure associated with such functioning to more cumulative totality holistic restoration. The 2.1 trillion spent per year on militaries worldwide will then fund holistic endeavors like ecological equilibrium compensation, missions, health, safety, holistic arbitration, and holistic restoration. Then, we can find social justice, environmental justice, and holistic justice worldwide as a foundation equity condition.
