The Humanist System : Outline

There Is No Money

There is no money in the Humanist System.
Everything is "free", although, that is not an accurate way of conveying the idea.

Everyone is "free" to take what they want, as much as they want,
but,
nobody thinks of resources as "free".

The Fundamental Principle of The Humanist System

Taking more than what a person believes they need to be healthy and comfortable, takes away resources from someone else.

Doing deprives another person of the resources they need to thrive and be happy and ultimately hurts oneself.

Why?

Because we human beings depend on one another for our mutual survival, and, more importantly, our genuine happiness and joy in existence.

We depend on each other to be our society's : bus drivers, nuclear physicists, doctors, teachers, construction workers, farmers, etc.
Further, we depend on each other for inspiration, friendship, love, guidance, and all the other products of interaction that a gregarious species like our needs.

Most importantly, taking more resources than what one knows and feels they need, simply put : doesn't feel good.
It just doesn't feel right, knowing that one has so much, while others have so much less.
Ultimately, I believe, it is feelings that hold the day.

Feelings

The Humanist System is the first Socio Economic System or Political Philosophy or Societal Model which recognizes the inextricable element of Human Feelings.

"Human Beings are indivisible from Human Feelings."

"How a person feels is the most important thing."

These two statements are representative of the philosophy of The Humanist System.
