Founding contributor and creator of Natural Earth Striving an Earth Ethic and Earth Research Explorers, a vision that accepts and includes everyone on Earth as stakeholders, stewards, explorers, researchers, creators, pattern recognizers, ground truthers, innovators, hypothesis generators, etc. Suppose you look at these two entities and consider them as a cycle. In that case, it gets everyone contributing towards a more continuous adaptive striving for desired future conditions on planet Earth from a broad scale to a fine scale. This leads us to a more holistic positive energy reality for the health of everyone, everything, everywhere on Earth. The vision includes a loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, genuine kindness striving to bring about conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, faith, and sustainable striving happiness foundation for everyone on Earth, transitioning most laws, rules, regulations, policies, to holistic prescriptive advice.

Perceptions about Parasitism and Predation from someone out of the loop.

I like to believe the best about people and give them the benefit of the doubt as I believe in their potential for transitioning and their capacity to love.

We live in a perception-perfect world, and those in traditional functioning want to continue the perception that everything is going great and there is nothing to worry about. However, it is an odd coincidence in this world that there are so many preventable suffering people, kids that are not being fed on Earth, people in survival zones, so much violence, terrorism, war, environmental injustice, controversy, chaos, litigiousness, complexity, ecological problems and struggle. Do you find it interesting that we have all these problems on Earth, and we hear no one ever taking responsibility for anything?

I believe various people used parasitism and predation-like behavior because they were either desperate, in survival zones, lacked creativity, were coerced, were impacted by itinerant controversy creation, and were extreme believers in traditional definitions of success or formal fiscal responsibility. Sometimes, Alpha male wolf-like behaviors intimidate people to act in various ways such that they engage in these behaviors. I have hypothesized that people are using chemical allelopathy. Using toxins (polluting with them without them knowing it), itinerantly creating controversy with the use of sex, drugs, and, at times, rock and roll lyrics. I believe they have been intentionally creating “criminals” either for subservientization reasons, so they can be fired at any time, to keep secrets about the largest conspiracies in history, to keep secrets about the functioning of the real economy, to keep things status quo, to keep an upper hand, to be able to use surveillance on you, so you do not get help when you need assistance, and to do anything they want to you. This over-topping of people has occurred because people are often treated like commodity variables, meaning that physical, creative, mental, and holistic energy are extracted. At the same time, the privileged and out-of-context inner circle turns the energy into power, control, and direct or indirect violence on the same people that they extracted from. Sometimes, it goes through many different organizations and people first but usually ends up with another organization or individual impacting them somehow. They are also engaging in creating servitude people where people make low wages and do not get holistic benefits in life. Sometimes, the people are parasitized in extreme ways behind the scenes and led down a road of extreme suffering lives.

Too often, people function in their little bubbles, doing their own thing. Like responsible people, they follow their job descriptions and do what their supervisors tell them. However, everything on Earth is so fragmented and complex that we have been unable to get our arms around defining or understanding the fundamental nature of our problems on Earth. Each person and each organization mainly functions independently and out of context with other organizations, which is a similar revelation in the 911 Commission reports. It may be somewhat different now, but I am not sure. However, one thing is for sure: we have a long way to go with priorities, rationality, reasonableness, fundamental fairness, holistic planning, holistic problem-solving, and holistic motivations. Too many borders and boundaries of confusion and complexity create excess processes or allow unlimited manipulation, hiding of assets, greed opportunism, unlimited money laundering, diversions, distractions, and an opportunistic playing field to do anything they want.

An Attempt to Look at Excessive Population Growth as a Holistic Inspirational Incentive Holistic Problem Solving Opportunity in a Ecogeosystematic Way that considers everything, everyone, everywhere in Earth.

I have been interested in population stability regarding a well-balanced holistic approach that considers the needs and health of everyone and our natural environment.  On a broader level, I had thought it would be a great way to assess and understand population by areas on Earth with discerning differences relative to the characteristics of the environment and the health of the people and their cumulative totality.  One way is to assess an area with high population growth and find another similar area with similar characteristics using a relatively weighted similarity index.  Then, try to determine the difference between the two areas so that you can identify prescriptive advice to either suggest incentives to people in the area to disperse to a more sustainable striving area or give incentives to consider having fewer children.  I have even explored an option of relatively significant incentives for those that choose one child or none in exchange for higher relative freedom incentives like important explorational and experiential roles on Earth being a roving “parent” of planet Earth, Nature, and humanity that helps look after people and kids as well as our natural environment by contributing to and organizing “mountaineering” events, working together with nature, working together with oceans and ocean life, working together with humanity, or higher and accelerated milestone as an Environmental Justice, Health, and Safety as well as holistic mission role.  Essentially, they will be viewed as “parents” of Earth at another broader level at different ecogeosystematic resolutions, dynamic variable spatial areas, and temporal epochs based on relative need.  It could also be in one area where you choose to live your life.  I suspect most will determine a comparable percentage of both scenarios close to how they want to schedule their selected life experiences and how they want to live their lives.
Their high relative freedom life will be scheduled and planned spatially and temporally in an ecogeosystematic way with higher relative importance and higher relative significance areas or sites being more desirable choices because of a higher chance of getting much higher HVCI (High-Value Contribution Index) or EEC (Ecological Equilibrium Compensation).  Likewise, desired potential experiences may involve a place incentive.  Planning to go to a place that satisfies their interests or needs may outweigh more desirable HVCI or EEC accumulation.  The high relative freedom associated with this life is a tremendous incentive as scheduling events, duration, location, and planning are entirely up to them.  This contributes to solving exponential population growth extremes while at the same time allocating energy towards our existing population in need, our natural environment in need, our kids in need, holistic health, our people in need, our oceans in need, and anything else of higher relative importance and significance.  Any mountaineering event, project, mission, and other planned event is available to anyone in this program as they get first choice over others unless specific expertise is needed, like particular milestone Aspiring Doctors (AKA Nurses), etc.  It also gives a tremendously rewarding and contributing life experience to people who choose not to have children and to accept Earth, humanity, nature, people, and kids as a parental role.

If people want to have kids, they should.  There should be more inspired times to have kids in life as it is a relative concept with unique circumstances that may adaptively change soon as we prioritize higher relative importance and temporal prescriptive advice for a person’s health throughout life.  The prescriptive advice must consider the whole person for the longevity of a lifetime such that all of their cumulative health and life experience is assumed.  Each epoch contributes relatively to the overall cumulative totality of life itself; thus, holistic prescriptive advice that considers this resolution is highly beneficial from the entire life perspective.  In contrast, if people cannot have children, they should have the potential and inspired relative freedom to be a “parent” at the broader level and incentives that accompany their sacrifice and contributions.

Healthcare, Traditional Organizations, People, and the Natural Environment

Healthcare must be available for everyone all the time. Insurance is strange. It seems we spend so much effort and energy on insurance that we could spend more effort and allocation on more health care. Too much paperwork and insurance companies (which sounds like big business meddling in your health care). Imagine some insurance company telling a well-motivated holistic Doctor what treatment and what they will pay for to help you get well. It is an odd situation.

On the contrary, Doctors must be given incentives and what they need to treat emergency health needs no matter what. Get what they need. I also feel the same about teachers because teaching is about health, too. I know some teachers who had to pay for pencils for kids in their classrooms as they earn $27,000 per year. We need to allocate more holistic preventive measures to prevent health problems. I believe we have too many ill people and ill organizations making people sick (itinerantly or not) in our world in a variety of ways, creating unhealthy conditions for us to live. Much comes down to individual health, the environment, and the inextricable link that both have. If that cycle falls apart, we get ill more often, compounding detrimental impacts. Then, it starts another cycle of treating with excessive medications when we do not have the slightest idea about chronic impacts and side effects, especially when combined with many other characteristics in life and your health. Some medications are currently essential, but if we prevent the need for them in the first place, that would be better. I fear that if things do not change, we will be itinerantly creating sick people in our world so we can have the industry (insurance, pharmaceuticals, technology, health care information technology, etc) to support the efforts in reactionary medicine. We must live closer to nature and live healthier, balanced lives by having better nutrition, healthy development in youth, healthy environments, minimal toxins in the environment, unhealthy chemical allelopathy, no toxic pesticides, no bioaccumulating pollutants, no creation of chemicals that mimic natural chemicals or hormones in the body, no safety and health impacting assembly lines that deviate far from natural living conditions. We must minimize the cumulative detrimental impacts of everything that hurts or makes us ill.

I wonder if insurance allowed businesses to meddle in our insurance records. Is it legal protectionism? Is it planning for complacency? Is it planning to win at any cost? Have you been able to see all of your insurance records? Do you know what is in your files? Does anyone? The real story is that the traditional way of doing things either knew not what they were doing or did not know but did not care or did not prioritize people (kids too) and the natural environment at the top where they should have been. It has been mostly about making more money from that money and investing the most they can without understanding what they were investing in. People often invest in ill health, pollution, detrimental impacts, obscure functioning, out-of-context functioning, wasteful exploitation, price point environmental injustice, chaos, complexity, confusion, controversy, and doing anything to survive. The microcosmic functioning of any organization is primarily unknown except for how much money they make and their quarterly earnings. How much illness do they create? How many detrimental impacts do they start? How well are the people in their organizations? How much resources do they consume? How much pollution do they create? What are they funding with their profits? What are they supporting with their investments? Chaos, complexity, controversy, and behind-the-scenes functioning also add to the environmental injustice in our world. When an environment is polluted at the beginning of your life, they can do anything to blame it on you, your habits, where you live, etc. Everything in your life is a starting point for someone else to impact you more. This happens because it creates reasonable doubt and confusion. It also creates unlimited controversy, and they make huge money off the debate. It also creates blame games and endless controversy if things get figured out. But everyone starts blaming everyone else. That is when the charismatic megafauna stops the fighting and tries to add some order in the proverbial Earth courtroom. Then, the judges cannot possibly understand everything in a 1000-page legislation world. This is especially true when what happens is way beyond the imagination. People would prefer to judge people because they feel better about themselves when they do such things. It gives them a competitive edge. No one can believe another human being, especially those impacted immensely. Are there any adults on Earth? Yes, most of them! That is the problem with our traditional world: They love money and power more than they love people and the natural environment. That is why I am happy being a little bit of a kid.

Similarities and Differences toward Unification as Spiritual Environmentalists on Earth

I consider bringing everyone together on Earth regarding spirituality, religion, living, learning, and loving. It seems that 7.5 billion people on planet Earth are similar and different simultaneously. What if we had a broader context focused on our unifying collective humanity regarding foundation principles that almost all religions have in common? These principles include love, care, compassion, nurturing, nature, helping one another, and others learned in religion, philosophy, and other inspirational messages. At the same time, we are all different, leaving us the freedom and flexibility to try to study the various interpretations in the Bible, etc., as long as they are rationally in context with our world today. This way, we would all be able to get an inspirational message on Sunday, etc., experience spirituality in nature, and live a certain way all the time such that we all share our core foundational principles as a human family.

On the other hand, we can learn about differences through our diverse learning interests as long as they come from holistically relevant prescriptive advisers. This satisfies both our commonality and our individuality at the same time. We can celebrate, work together on our similarities, and continually learn from our differences. What do you think? World without end…

Relativity, Inclusion, and Prioritization

R.I.P. Relativity Inclusion Prioritization. These are three of the most important concepts we need today. These concepts eliminate destructive functioning and deleterious structures but allow people to transform from their current condition to their desired future relative to our world’s needs. These future conditions and needs must be in context with holistic functioning that places the highest regard on human health and our natural and human-centered natural environments.

ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE “ECOGEORELATIVE HOTEL/HOMESHARE HOUSE SHARE SHELTER SHARE SCHEDULING CONCEPT”

Several people in the Northeast hardly ever get away from their homes and have an opportunity to stay in a different place.  Some places are for relaxing and having a great dinner, seeing a place they have not seen before, exploring, seeing a play, shopping, and getting away with your love.  Several hotel rooms, home shares, and house shares are empty several times of the year.  In summer resort areas, there are many available hotel rooms, condos, resort homes, home shares, house shares, etc.  Besides offering hotel rooms to those in need during times with empty rooms for decreased prices, It seems to me that empty hotel rooms are opportunities for increased opportunities to give low relative cost incentives to people who are contributing their physical effort, mental effort, creative effort, and all of their energy in their various roles.  We could ecogeorelatively and prioritize those that may deserve more incentive or increase the probability in an ecogeorelative lottery.  This is a supplement to the “Priceline” idea and a way for hotels to contribute to giving back to the people.  In many circumstances, EEC will be provided because these people’s relative index ratio of benefits, energy, and value contribution far exceeds the relatively low costs associated with such an endeavor.

Ecogeorelative ecogeosystematic prioritization incentive planning hotel/home share/house share scheduling increases the chances that people will get an inspirational incentive for a worthwhile life experience.  This function adds value, energy, and benefits to our people and world instead of letting hotel rooms sit empty.  Likewise, ecological niche organizations will benefit immensely from doing what they do to contribute.  Again, any person should also have the opportunity to stay in these places as a priority.  It could be an EEC-integrated all-in-one device card/thumb drive concept where EEC is added based on involvement in helping some aspect of community events and doing whatever is needed.  The integrated device will continually be connected to the planning spectrum pyramid knowledge tree universe.  There will be a constantly updated map and list of required assistance everywhere in the local area.  Likewise, a continual opportunity exists to contribute to HVCI accumulating public scoping surveys and any other EEC incentive earning day-to-day living observations and duty of care knowledge to more health or safety concerns and urban nature or natural environment people.  Planning vision public scoping ideas are also accepted, encouraged, and incentivized.

Holistic health and the health of people and nature as priorities

Interestingly, some insurance companies are not paying for holistic health. It seems like such ignorance. I have an idea about having a holistic compensation approach called Ecological Equilibrium Compensation, which takes more of a big-picture systematic approach to understanding how we can have people living in a world recognizing that everything is connected to everything else. Essentially, it takes from more destructive functioning where detrimental ESH ecological impact assessment index values are high, where there is excess energy source from high charges, and allocates to the more holistic alternatives elsewhere where there is an energy sink. These holistic health alternatives are energy sinks that contribute to enormous potential to help significantly with cumulative human health throughout someone’s life. I believe it is like a cycle that states that cumulative human health is a vital component of the health of nature (stability), ecosystem health, and humanity health, which are also related or vice versa. (See figure 1.)
I find an interesting relationship or complex functioning regarding business and industry. Some licit and illicit parallel functioning organizations might be connected to more prominent organizations that always seem “perfect” as they rarely admit to doing anything wrong. Some exciting considerations should be areas that change a lot and organizations that do not. Likewise, organizations that change a lot or are resistant to change are complacent. Some organizations care more about money and investing than their primary reason for functioning. This should be more holistically researched for other traditional money-making investment schemes, both illicit and illicit, with direct or indirect connectivity to other connected or parallel functions. Investment and “children” organizations or “children” industries should be researched holistically. It seems as if, once again, business and industry have been in control again as they seem to align themselves closer to traditional money. For some reason*, they have built a fortress around the inner sanctum and act as proximity to funds and control matters more than any other consideration of much higher priority. Some of the problems come from the fact that money itself is not in context with anything else and thus is not normalized. This creates a situation where we have no idea what action helps human or ecosystem health or cumulative ecogeosystematics. Suppose a business and industry is functioning with traditional money-based assets and liabilities accounting. In that case, it is not an adequate representation of the cumulative cost or cumulative impact of any transaction in context. Likewise, three people can make $30,000 from selling a $300,000 house in one transaction that took three weeks. A teacher can make $30,000 in one year and be responsible for 15 kids’ educational enlightenment, helping them learn, inspiring them to learn, encouraging them to want to know, and their care every day. A vice president or CEO can make this amount in one month. In each one of the situations, I believe the most positive value, benefits, and energy goes to the kids while the teacher receives significantly less relative compensation for contributing a vastly more positive impact on each of those kids, their future, our future generations, their health, their comfort, and their future inspirational learning, more than each of the other combined. It is a weird system and is often backward. I hope to contribute towards a genuinely holistic and sustainable striving way of functioning in the future. Until then, I suggest a responsible organization of health experts, researchers, nature experts, and interdisciplinary experts must put everything in the Ecogeohealth context that is more ecogeosystematic in nature. The graphic below shows that each individual’s health affects our overall health potential. Therefore, we must put the responsibility on those responsible for higher priority concepts, as indicated above, instead of leaving them to traditional process functioning and dogmatic anthropocentric constructs that function like blame magnets like “the law.” Much of everything is at the wrong ecogeosystematic resolution of the problems in our world.

Meanwhile, people are being impacted. This plays into the above cycle. The cycle goes round and round until someone stops it. It is time to stop the cycle and plan a more holistic functioning planet Earth. Anything that impacts human health impacts others, too. The same is true for the natural environment in an opposite vice versa way. Suppose our people are polluted with pollution bio-accumulation of all types. In that case, there is a higher chance our environment will also be degraded from inadequate prioritization, opportunity cost allocation concepts, and lack of conscience because of cumulative significant impact. It continued a complacent focus on traditional functioning, often the opposite of rationality.

Ending War and Violence by Transforming to a Harmony, Peace, and Restoration Earth

pangaea1
War and violence are more of an unenlightened perspective because they show that the focus is on “knowledge is power” rather than holistic enlightenment: “knowledge is energy.” Maybe the JFK Quote or Jefferson’s Quote was mocking war, ignorance, or reactionary ways of solving disputes with his quote about peace.  We should say, “War and Violence is that brief moment in history where ignorance won out over rationality, reasonableness, and real problem-solving.” Isn’t peace more of a natural and spiritual homeostasis representative of stable functioning like natural spiritual miracles like human beings, ecosystems, and natural communities?  Violence and war is an anthropocentric construct that has nothing to do with the harmonious systematic stability of humanity and the natural environment because, with current conditions on Earth, there are way too many Environmental Justice issues of all types.  These Health and Safety conditions are too heterogeneous around planet Earth.  This concept creates instability, especially when people who live in regions around the world know the history of war and violence and irrational traditional power dynamics around the world.  Too many games are being played with borders and boundaries, like compartmentalization processes and isolationism.  We need Peace and Restoration more than war.  Jefferson was right when he said “reloading.” Still, it is really about being manipulated into committing violence because outrageous media events may come from atrocities created by those that have agendas and itinerant functioning usually related to advancing political capital.  This generally translates into other types of capital like power, money, weapons, tanks, swat teams, police officers, soldiers, armor, ammunition, bombs, lasers, and research and development of more insidious weaponry that is less detectable and more destructive.

For this reason, I suggest the immediate transformation to a borderless Spectrum Stability Pyramid Knowledge Tree Universe approach to include, inspire, and incentivize people to work together because each person knows the most about what they know about.  Suppose we harness this knowledge in an enlightenment energy approach and eliminate the destructive traditional knowledge as a power domination approach.  In that case, our world will be rid of war and violence forever.  This is especially true if we start the holistic inclusion embracing of everyone on Earth to accomplish the following: inclusion, inspiration, incentives, role acceptance, recruitment as an energy source, knowledge transferer, inclusive idea creators, contributors, transforming energy sinks to energy sources, and inclusionary problem solvers with those that are more cumulatively qualified.  This approach would transition each person’s unique current condition to their desired future condition relative to the needs of our world and the imaginative creativity they have to offer.  World without end…..

Extreme Cumulative Destructive Anthropocentric Interventions

One of the major problems on Earth and for individuals is the extreme cumulative destructive anthropocentric interventions imposing on natural functioning.  Too often, people are isolated by those who know less about what they are doing because many went to school to become leaders, managers, bosses, directors, executives, power players, and process controllers.  We have favored process, law, traditional organization charts, cubicles, and narrow job descriptions that promote an industrial machine-like functioning rather than natural universal integration, working together, and problem-solving.  Many of these positions are promoted from a business-only perspective.  Many are conditioned to operate in a wilderness of process, greed, procedures, and keeping the ship upright through any storm.  Many tendencies are apparent, such as silence being a violent protective mechanism that does not help people because many have been conditioned to live in a wilderness of extreme opportunistic greed, which was the top priority instead of love, care, and compassion for one another.  We chose to love reactionary justice instead of putting the word love on the holistic side to prevent the need to use the word justice.

Hence, the rationale for transforming all of the reactionary justice complexity to create a love concept on the holistic side is called environmental justice, holistic health, social justice, holistic arbitration, health, holistic prescriptive advice, Be aware, and safety.  This concept is an all-inclusive concept involving all people with relative contribution milestones.  It removes the border and boundaries that create the propensity to fight.  Many of us are running fast on treadmills as we work, work, and work out of context on those concepts that should matter much less.  We chose to love our anthropocentric constructs, functioning, money, process, law, and a chaotic and complex system of relative inequality, lack of holistic diversity, and inequity that produces low ecological stability.  Do we love these controlling concepts more than people?  I believe that we are causing people to live with little nurturing, nature, constructive criticism, educational enlightenment, checks and balances, mentoring, advice, and healthy interactions in favor of destructive violence that tends to produce ill societies and sick people instead of educationally enlightened and nurtured healthy people that function in tandem with a healthy environment.  If our functioning contributes to destructive tendencies, it increases the likelihood of perturbation to our people, natural environment, and planet Earth.  Sometimes, there were highly intentional, harmful anthropocentric interventions or ultra-competitive mechanisms that were meant to destroy or eliminate people from life so that others could have control, dominance, transference, and leverage so they could get rich.  The greater they had to gain in terms of their cumulative greed, the more they were willing to do in terms of extreme cumulative destructive anthropocentric interventions.  The answer is to stop all the destructive violence; otherwise, the cycle continues as many ride the wave of logic games.  Instead, we need holistic rationality.  We must reallocate everyone’s tremendous brain energy potential to only genuine, holistic, sustainable striving functioning to significantly improve our world.  We must continually adapt and strive towards the desired future conditions together.

Everyone is both similar and different

We are all the same, and we are all different. This significantly contributes to transforming our planet Earth, our humanity, and our natural environment to create genuine holistic and sustainable functioning and behavior, which represents a desirable dynamic continually improving the entire spectrum of life’s path.

Similarities (Love, care, empathy, compassion for a person) + Differences (Like a person) = Chance to love, care, have empathy, compassion, and like everyone.

Similarities (Gives Genuine Holistic qualities) + Differences (Gives you sustainable striving qualities) = Chance to become a genuine holistic, sustainable striving person.

Similarities + Differences = Higher propensity to love, care, empathize, compassion, and like people. Eliminates all the fighting behavior and creates lovers instead.

Similarities + differences Create conditions that prevent all forms of violence and preventable suffering, including war.
