LIVING BEINGS MANIFESTO
Let's invent an organization perennial for the living beings !
Last update : 20/12/0057 Universal Terrestrial calendar (09/06/2026 Gregorian cal.)
2020-2040 : LET's GO FOR THE TRANSFORMATION !
To start right away ?
LET'S LIMIT THE MAXIMUM SALARY LEVEL
to 5000 dollars net/month
FINITE PLANET = Bounded production = Bounded consumption = BOUNDED SALARIES
Very concretely in the immediate future, before having invented a new organization structurally perennial for the living beings, we could for example launch a global movement - directors, shareholders and stars on the front showing the example - which would simply consist in everyone taking the initiative to LIMIT her/his salaries:
-
all those who earn more than 5000 dollars per month would ask by themselves to see their salary gradually return to 5000 dollars by 2030,
-
all those who earn between 3000 dollars net and 5000 dollars per month would ask for their salary to be frozen,
-
all the unpaid excess of these salaries would be donated to a global fund piloted by the UN and governments to help populations in difficulty and to build major global projects.
This measure would aim to achieve fairly quickly the necessary rebalancing of the capacities TO ACT and of the rights TO HAVE of the human species on the planet in order to be able to better respect us all, and to respect the biosphere limits... which will not wait for us.
This action is above all symbolic and will not alone solve the global problem of respecting planetary limits: it aims to express a clear message of
REFUSAL OF THE OMNIPOTENTE AUTHORITY OF THE MONETARY COUNTER
with the aim of serving as an impetus, a "seed" to
LAUNCH THE NECESSARY COLLECTIVE WORK OF INVENTION OF
A NEW PERENNIAL ORGANIZATION FOR THE LIVING BEINGS!
The salary thresholds are deliberately high (the majority of people in the world are not at these levels), to appeal to the richest 10%, who currently have the power within the rules of the game in place, who are generally capable to understand the fact that the human species exist on a finite planet whose balances must be respected, so that they take the movement head on and set an example!
One of the priorities of this exercise (an emergency for several decades according to the UN, the IPCC and the IBPES), would be to determine, in all areas of existence, the GOOD LIMITS not to be exceeded to guarantee at every moment, every day, every year the perennial renewal of the resources of our FINITE BIOSPHERE, that is to say at least first:
LEAVE ENOUGH SPACE, AIR AND WATER (not polluted)
TO ALL THE CHAINS OF THE LIVING SO THAT THEY CAN FLOURISH !

Make the topic yours
This work of transformation begins with in-depth personal work. We must read the analysis and the transformation proposals up to understand them, in order to be able to restore them, to challenge them... and to go further on !
This site is built a bit like a Russian doll and you can gradually master it by level:
-
first feel comfortable with the content of the Presentation and Contact pages only (depth 0 level),
-
then all the depth 1 level pages (Living, Equality, Sustainability),
-
finally all the pages of the level below.
Knowing that if you are comfortable with all the content of the Presentation page, you are already largely capable of sharing the keys to this Manifesto around you to become aware of our contradictions and open the door to transformation.
The following dashboard makes a good summary of the overall Manifesto proposition (you may use it as the only slide that you can project during discussion/presentation sessions):
To gain objectivity, it is also good to dig into other theories, read the history of life on Earth, the history of the human species, our knowledege of the Universe and what we have already built in the nearby space... to crosscheck information and realize how our human technical capacity is meaningful for the Living in its context in the Universe.
DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE ONE WHO SPEAKS...
...but seek at every moment RELEVANCE for our lives,
living beings who cohabit in finite contexts.
Whatever responsibilities we may be called upon to take on during our lives, whatever abilities we may have honed to the point of being only 10 on Earth to be at this level, it does not change the fact that by nature we are living beings similar to all living beings.
BELIEVING IN SOMEONE, delegating "absolute" power to someone, would therefore potentially be overwhelming them with responsibility and an inhuman expectation of exemplarity: on one hand this person could become paralyzed in a pattern of power whose he would become the prisoner; and on the other hand, human beings abdicating to this power would lose their dignity as equal living beings.
At the scale of human organizations, thus the important thing is not WHO has the POWER, but whether we have the right INFORMATION to make the right DECISIONS.
If the first intention of a person getting involved may often really be to "improve" a situation facing societal "problems", the fact remains that these "problems" are often structural/cultural and require effort and transformation of everyone, and not of a single “human being” who “would be perfect” to come to power for a few years in a given region of the planet.
The SEPARATION OF POWERS is a key to avoid this societal dead end.
Besides, due to our construction inside a culture, to our bonds (essential to our lives), chains of authority and our values in a given society, cultural judgment biases can appear everywhere : indeed information will not have the same value if it comes from the neighbor's 7-year-old son, from my father, from the Center National Scientist of my country, the head of state of my country or the one of a religion... Thus, when we seek to carry out a "scientific" analysis of a problem, that is to say the most objective possible in the physical reality of the world, it is often necessary to separate the content from the container, to analyze the information itself separately from the person who carries it (this joins a major proposal for improving democracy which is that we would no longer vote for people, but for projects, priorities/directions, from local to global).
Eventually, this work should enable us to individually transform our referential, our daily reflexes, and progressively during the next 10 to 20 years, to collectively transform our institutions.

A 2020 - 2040 TRANSFORMATION PLAN
For those who would be most convinced and motivated by the analysis and proposals of this Manifesto, we must now invent the details of these new rules of the game and implement them, to allow the human species TO ACT and TO HAVE sustainably within its FINITE BIOSPHERE.
A METHOD:
To achieve this within the next 20 years, working groups could be established in universities worldwide (the "local" IPCC) to:
-
analyze the inconsistencies and contradictions of our human organization and invent new modes of organization, "new rules of the game",
-
continuously disseminate, popularize, and train the world's population: through integration into "normal" educational programs for young people pursuing their studies; and through continuing education programs open to older generations to update their knowledge of new best practices and regulations,
-
maintain continuous communication with their respective governments to ensure coherence and progressively integrate these principles into national constitutions and laws; each government engaging in ongoing dialogue with the United Nations to create global coherence.
STEPS:
-
STEP 1/3 - 2020/2025: ANALYSIS and BRAINSTORMING - participatory work without borders to determine a new, structurally FAIR and SUSTAINABLE, MINIMAL FUNCTIONAL FRAMEWORK (separation of powers, indicators, etc.): COMPLETED
-
STEP 2/3 - 2026/2030 : DISSEMINATION EVERYWHERE - Digestion/Adaptation in all universities, governments, and the United Nations, to complete a Universal Declaration of Living Beings Coexistence common on a global scale (Planetary Constitution), then adapted with amendments in each country (National Constitutions):
-
The details of these "rules of the game" must be simple, intuitive, and self-evident, so that the majority of people see concrete progress in them and spontaneously adopt them without too much learning difficulty.
-
=> 21/06/2031 Gregorian cal. (=01/01/0063 U.T. cal.) : OFFICIALIZATION - Joint signing of the Universal Declaration of Living Beings Coexistence by the United Nations, governments... and the world's inhabitants (possible digitally, otherwise symbolic for the world's inhabitants), with the following immediate effects:
-
Renaming of the United Nations (UN) to the United Living Organization (UL):
-
Three core values: LIVING - EQUALITY - PERENNIALITY
-
One motto, one direction: Life won't stop
-
-
The separation of powers between TO ACT and TO HAVE is declared.
-
The TO KNOW institution (IPCC from local to global) is institutionalized with the UL-Governments-Universities cascade identified.
-
The Universal Earth Calendar becomes the reference for describing temporal chronology.
-
STEP 3/3 - 0063/0072 U.T. cal. (2031/2040 Gregorian cal.): DEPLOYMENT - Deployment and testing phase at all scales.
After 0072 U.T. cal. (2040 Gregorian cal.): Established perennial operating mode.
Determine the major development milestones for ensuring the living perenniality:
-
on Earth facing meteorites, future warm and ice ages,
-
in Earth orbits,
-
in the Lunar orbits and on the Moon,
-
in Mars orbits and on Mars,
-
in the viable belt around the sun during the few billion years remaining viable, before the inflation of the sun leading to the end of our solar system,
-
...
-
towards the closest stars,
-
...
-
in our Galaxy before its meeting with Andromeda in 4 billion years,
-
...
-
and in the Universe.
The Universal Declaration of Living Beings Coexistence and the Universal Participation notice proposed here in this Manifesto are a first vision of what could be the structure of the organization, with its indicators and key information updated and made available to all annually, to guarantee the stability and perenniality of life on Earth and beyond :
If we work well, then we might wake up twenty years from now looking at a few tokens (money) lying around in the corner that have become obsolete, and wondering : What was that Monopoly game we all used to play? "Supply and demand law"? The value ? The capital gain ? The price ? Inflation? GDP? "Competitiveness" ? All these concepts as vague as all the demonstrations that we have been able to make...
TO KNOW how many we are and if we are able to produce enough food to feed everyone: this is a clear problem that we can pose and solve, as many others in our human organization !

Eventually, if this work of transformation may seem too difficult for ourselves, questionning too many of our references, it should not be thought of as a transformation that we must achieve today for ourselves, but as a thorough work that we can achieve over the long term to guide our children and grandchildren of today so that they never experience unemployment nor need, on a planet where it is nice to live, while being ready to start the stairways to the stars...
