The Humanity Index contains the 10 conditions for human well-being in 1 holistic model.
How can we face the major challenges of today on the road to a sustainable future?
A sustainable future means long-term survival as humanity on Earth. How do we do that?
This question has been bothering me for quite some time. I had to do something about this. But in order to know what I could do, I first wanted to understand the causes.
I wanted to understand the root causes of our contemporary existential crisis. For this it was necessary that I first investigate the evolution of humanity. You can read the results of this in For our daughters.
The knowledge and insights I found there form the basis of the Humanity Index: a holistic thinking model about what is important for sustainable happiness.
The Humanity Index is a framework of what is important for natural human survival on our planet. All kinds of human partnerships, including companies, non-profit organizations and governments as well as religions, can be tested for humanity using these 10 criteria. Do they contribute positively or negatively to this?
The core of our being is love. This truth about our true instincts has been pushed into the background by a long era of male dominance, also known as paternalism.
Male dominance has nothing to do with good human leadership.
Natural human leadership is leadership that is good for us all and for our long-term survival.
The interesting thing about our current era is that the consciousness of love is emerging again. (Mass) communication about acts of oppression plays an essential role in this.
It started with the printing press, which made sharing knowledge and awareness possible on a larger scale. A rebirth ‘renaissance’ of humanity and an investigative look at the world.
A few centuries later, newspapers, with their daily dissemination of (bad) news, fueled awareness of oppression, resulting in revolutions, the abolition of slavery and the rise of emancipation.
A recent example arising from our modern individual means of mass communication is #metoo. This has raised awareness of (oppressive) transgressive sexual behavior.
The transparent truth affects the image: it is literally naked. This tool is so powerful that contemporary male dominants use fake news and state propaganda to mislead their oppressed population.
Transparency is the key to awareness and therefore to change.
The Humanity Index stands for transparency about everything that is of value: ourselves, our children, human coexistence and collaboration, our environment (nature and culture) and our sustainable future. With the humanity index on the way to a human world for everyone.
