Themes in our modern world are very similar, if not identical. They inlcude: liberty, equality, unity, democracy, justice, happiness, wisdom, charity, reason, non-violence, independence, truth, peace, nature, and more.
There
are at least three options
for our human world culture:
1.
Survival Of The Fittest –
extensive
freedom vs. limited equality
some form of capitalism – availble to all animals
OR
2.
Survival Of Social Equality –
extensive equality vs.
limited freedom
some
form of socialism – available to humans only,
because
the „tragedy of the commons“ can only be managed by
humans
OR
3.
Survival Of Equally Limited Freedom –
Comprimising and
limiting both freedom and equality
in order to achieve the
greatest possible combination
of all themes, inlcuding
equality and freedom
some
form of participatory economics - a different kind of economic
model combining both major goals:
freedom/capitalism + social
equality/socialism = ParEcon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Survival Of The Fittest
-
This option does not need a majority vote! As long as some are willing and able to dominate, those people in such a country/world would happily accept the gaps between wealth and poverty, superiority and inferiority, power and powerlessness in favor of their extensive personal freedom.
-
→ Likelyhood of this continuing:unknown, my guess: above 70%
Survival Of Social Equality
-
This option needs a unanimous vote within a country! All people of such a country would willingly give up some of their individual freedom in favor of common choices that allow greater social equality for all.
-
→ Likelyhood of this happening: unknown, my guess: less than 30%
Survival Of Equally Limited Freedom
-
This option requires world unity among all people. It would require participatory planning and execution of common measures. The whole world needs to believe in limiting both personal freedom and social equality; otherwise there would be people favoring superiority, who would then go out dominating the world. All people around the world would agree to compromise some personal freedom and some social equality in order to ensure equally limited
liberty, equality, unity, democracy, justice, happiness, wisdom, charity, reason, non-violence, independence, truth, peace, nature, and more. -
→ Likelyhood of this happening: unknown, my guess: about 50%
