NeoHumanist Rally for the Greater Mankind: Our Cause

~

Good day or good night to you who listen. Today I talk about our unifying cause, our dream. I call it a dream for a reason, and that reason is why I speak.

We are a generation without direction or purpose. We live, we eat, we tire. We get jobs in impersonal corporations, we trade our precious time for coin, then we die. The more fortunate among us have enough to enjoy and make merry for half their lives, and then they die. We live without cause. Without purpose. Without meaning. And yet, we all have that urge to act, to achieve, to fight for something greater than ourselves, something that since birth our society has convinced us is impossible. To change. Everything.

The fall and rebirth of society is inevitable. It has happened countless times before, it will happen again. Of Alexander's Greek Empire, of the Romans, of the Arabs, the Spanish, the British colonialists. This is our evolution, our continuous progress as a species. We rise, we fall, we rise again in a different spirit, and so we live, and we move forth.

It is always a new peoples, a new ideology, a new passion that gains ground and then overwhelms the previous corrupt, conceited, contemptuous world-owners. When Caesar claimed Rome, when Napoleon led France, when Mao took control of China.

It is when there is no competent successor to herald the next age of humanity that we fall into disorder, into chaos, into ruin. See the Dark Ages from the collapse of the Roman Empire. See the fragmented Successor kingdoms from Alexander's conquest. See the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

I say, we must be the new peoples, the successors, the unforseen force that sweeps the world from under its feet and then catches it again. We must represent a new enlightenment. We must usher in a new era for humanity, one characterised by peace, compassion, progress.

Like Anonymous fights for the freedom of information, let us pursue a society that reflects, and embody in ourselves, the ultimate love for humanity.

Here, I show you my dream.

Here, I share with you our cause.

Here, I give you your purpose.

You, who wish to achieve greatness, to shout and to be heard, to create the future with your very hands, join me. Our purpose is clear, our course is set, our cause is and will be like none other in history.

We The People, The NeoHumanists

~ 

Good day or good night to you who listen. I am the speaker of truth, the champion of the future, the voice of the frustrated many. I speak because I have had enough. Governments meant to represent the people are now ruling over them instead, making independent decisions, keeping secrets, dabbling in media propaganda to justify actions in self-interest.

In doing so, they underestimate the people. They degrade us, they mock us, they insult us. If a government is no longer representative of its people, it is a false government, one where politicians have personal vested interests and corporate sponsorships.

We, a star in its infancy, require governance like a young child relies on his or her parents. To prepare us for independence, to lead us by example, to teach and inspire us to be capable of self-governance in our daily lives, and furthermore when they are not around. That is the next step for humanity.

I ask you: is this the benevolent image reflected in politics today?

I want only to spread an idea: the idea that we, the people, political infants, should strive to make ourselves knowledgeable and educated, should consider matters beyond our individual selves, should always shower compassion and understanding upon our fellow human beings.

I want to create a society that has a fundamental love for humanity, of people who, in reflecting this attitude in their daily lives, come to embody our future, our hope.

Join me. Together, we will change the world for the better.

The Truth: My Conviction

I despise the way society churns on. I hate it.

That to "change society" is to correct a blemish in an inherited structure, that we blindly celebrate that we build on top of, and that we build on.

That we erect pillar after pillar under a prehistoric rock and think to boast "look, we are holding up better than before".

That we have unthinkingly laid our ground so thickly that to change would mean yanking it from under our feet.

Society has become a monster that even the brightest and most intelligent of us helplessly feed through inaction and compliance and, in doing so, are starved by for a decent living.

I hate that the verbs "to mold" and "to shape" have taken on positive connotations despite the implication of an objective (and, truthfully, horribly wrong) standard of perfection.

I hate that society has pressed its members into its building blocks instead of its builders, that we have allowed built on ourselves a heavy, heaving monstrosity, and let develop its uncooperative nature.

I hate that society is no longer defined by its individuals; society now does the individual mass-produce and define.

Call me a futurist. It seems today is not mine.

Our Pale Blue Dot

"..The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

"Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings. How eager they are to kill one another. How fervent their hatreds.

"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.

"In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere, to save us from ourselves."

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot

Words Never Truer

“When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance;

We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish,

and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters.”

Martin Luther King Jr., The Quest for Peace and Justice

Now, Kids, This Is What We Call An Atom.

"Every chemist’s dream – to snap an atomic-scale picture of a chemical before and after it reacts – has now come true, thanks to a new technique developed by chemists and physicists at the University of California, Berkeley."

One short newspaper article, another giant leap for mankind.

Wishing Well.

Water poured over a flat surface will never form, will never stay, will never rise.

Water represents our time. Our energy. Our lives. We must, ourselves, mould the cup that embodies our motivation and ambition.

Only then will our lives be lived not in vain.

Only then can our future generations drink from our well.

Only then can humanity float, fly higher than ever before.
