CHAPTER 1
The history of humanity stands as a rather precarious, sketchy and partial documentation of the evolution of humanity towards understanding of Reality of self and the milieus it lived in. Human history however, happens to be a common and shared record-book of culpability of humanity at large and minority of powerful leaders and intellectuals in particular, in failing to invest sufficiently in the much required mechanism and processes of deciphering of Reality. Naturally, human history is infinite saga of immense and variegated hypocrisies, stupidities and even insanities. That is probably why there is this primary need to look back at history of human stupidities and hypocrisies, before we actually take up the much required task in hand to eliminate them.
Thankfully, the right and sufficient human investment to decipher Reality began to happen in 19th century, matured in the 20th century and now at the start of third decade of 21st century, this continued and sustained investment has facilitated the broad but actual understanding of Reality of human ‘self’ and its milieus, including the cosmos. This singularly presents the case of big changes in contemporary politics, economy, state craft and governance. Hypocrisies should no more have another lease of life anymore as contemporary human wisdom about objective Reality leaves little leeway for it. In contemporary world of critical knowledge of Reason and Reality, only objective, logical, measurable, provable and irrevocable science can stand the test of finality.
In the same breathe, it needs to be accepted that even today, a very critical element of human wisdom is still missing, which should be the urgent agenda in 21st century. It is a rather deplorable dimension of human problem that all advanced and objective scientific knowledge and wisdom still remain poorly linked and shabbily integrated. It has been accepted by modern intellectuals that in an ideologically and philosophically divided world of contemporary humanity, it is too difficult to convince people about the collective, assimilative and common wisdom of scientifically objective knowledge, which is the singular uniting factor for over 7 billion people. It is truly sad and deplorable that massive advancement and critical knowledge in the fields of physics, mathematics and artificial intelligence et al have little or no reflection and influence on statecraft, governance and politics. Inter-disciplinary integration and to and fro linkages are hugely missing. This reflects the lack of integration and assimilation of collective human knowledge. For that matter, even economy and psychology seem to be not fully aligned to scientific advancements. It is only natural that they have not reached the average individual’s knowledge pool or what has reached is pseudo-science or just the technology part of it. This is unpardonable for humanity.
Scientists also believe that despite huge advancements in objective and proven knowledge of collective humanity, not much has reached to people because of the failure to integrate all knowledge and make them available for easy sharing. The troubling aspect is that collective contemporary knowledge of humanity has successfully arrived at the holism of wisdom, which explains Reality in definitive terms, but it has neither reached average individual nor this objective and holistic knowledge has yet evolved an interface to make easy understanding for everyone.
For example, it is not easy even for a space scientist to understand the logistic intricacies of a smart phone yet, even an illiterate person can and does easily operate a smart phone. It is simply because the smart phone has the easy and very user-friendly operational interface that cuts across intelligence levels of different segments of people. This is a great example of the power of collective wisdom of humanity and the most brilliant part is that it is now hugely successfully shared wisdom, across the globe. This is also a happy reflection on the potential of contemporary collective wisdom, if it is integrated well, shared diligently and interfaced successfully with masses. This sure is the domain that has the potential of grassroots and empirical empowerment of the sovereignty of common people, to take the issue of Human Dignity back in their own hands and run it on the basis of the common creed of universal jurisprudence, structured on scientific factuality of Reality.
When we insist that 21st century must be the age of arriving of humanity, it is because of this potential of the collective contemporary wisdom. From this perspective, when we relook the long tumultuous history of humanity, we can clearly understand the genetics of the troubles humanity had, in private as well as in public domains. The core trouble was that humanity was divided on the basis of identities, ideologies and perceptions and they still are. But, the critical difference between earlier centuries and the 21st century is that now we have definitive and irrefutable collective knowledge of Reality, which now installs the definitive futility and stupidity of diversity of identities, ideologies and perceptions. Reality is singular and so has to be the human reality for all. This knowledge is now available and logically irrevocable.
The second critical difference is that whatever collective knowledge was available and in whatever shade of Reality, it was not integrated and shared and it is still not. However, now we have the collective potential and ability to attain integration and sharing, which was not possible then. Universality and objectivity of Reality is the singular common creed, identity and perception for all humanity and this can now be established through possible integration and assimilation of all fragments of human knowledge. A unified humanity with singular Reality for all is a definite probability and contemporary collective knowledge has the wherewithal to attain this dream idealism in coming years.
That is why it is an insistence of singular reason and logic that today, the maturing of the 21st century is the time to dump the old, archaic and obsolete structures and functions of current politics, governance and administration, which has failed to uphold the necessities of Human Dignity and give back the true and real sovereign, the individual the crown it was supposed to have but never had in the long history of humanity. It is the time to write afresh, the universal common code of conduct of human affairs in global perspective, backed by objective, singular and irrefutable scientific knowledge of Reality of collective humanity.
Human history, despite being a rather patchy and partial documentation of past, has huge significance for deciphering what, where, why and how collective humanity went wrong and what right things could not get the mainstream support. The totality or holism of history of mankind is a sad yet powerful reflection of how inception, pregnancy, deliverance and infancy of knowledge leave long and scary trails of human misery, annihilation and perpetual struggle. In the colossal cosmos, all lives within this vast expanse of Earth and huge challenges of life-living in ambient milieus are not something that even the best of potentials of an average human being could ingest and process sanely. It always takes the collective wisdom of humanity to bail out people in their life-living struggle. Nothing can help but a singular, objective, irrefutable and universal acceptance of Reality. This could not happen in the past as only now collective human knowledge has it. It is just an impending correction that all domains of human knowledge now need to be integrated, aligned and assimilated so that the Holism of Reality could become a singular universal code and creed for all humans, anywhere on the globe.
The long history of humanity tells us very emphatically that in the absence of this singular universal and objective knowledge of Reality, humanity always suffered by perpetuating the conflict and battles against each other. Humanity also suffered hugely because lack of singular knowledge of Reality led to plethora of man-made stupidities and hypocrisies, which humanity could not decipher. And this in turn created such structures and functions of solutions and management of troubles, which themselves were seeded in stupidities and hypocrisies. The two most important structures-functions, which caused most agonies and killed the most, are Religion and Politics.
The long and dreadful history of evolution and entrenchment of Religion and Politics in human lives is calamitous testimony of how this singular ignorance about ‘Reality’ messed up the lives of billions of people. It is a sad commentary on how ignorance about ‘Reality’ created two Mega Monsters out of the very propitious and prosperous milieu of Culture, which essentially was a natural evolution of geographical elements of ‘Reality’. The contemporary crisis of Humanity is essentially the finality of the progression of these two suicidal human creations of Religion and Politics. Both are archaic, obsolete now and are rotting vestiges of lack of knowledge of humanity about Reality, how it is appropriated, how it expresses itself and how it plays out through human body-mind ‘media’. This needs to be understood in detail. Then only we can lead our way to an alternative of both, which is based on contemporary scientific knowledge of Reality and its manifestations in human world. We shall discuss and deliberate on every detail of this later in this eBook.
No doubt, in the long history of humanity, there were individuals and also some groups of people, who helped humanity in understanding their lives and their milieus well but, they were insufficient or only partial reflection on the Holism of Reality. This fractional or fractured knowledge helped but also added loads of confusion and conflicts in societies and people’s minds. It happens primarily because part knowledge is innately filled with abstract ideas and faith structures for their validity, which naturally stands in conflict with competing abstractions and faith structures. Moreover, scattered and un-integrated knowledge allows loads of pseudo-wisdom to spread out and become the seed element of divisive perspectives on Reality, which always was and shall always remain singular for all.
Throughout the history of humanity, the immense problem of integration and linking of collective knowledge crippled and restricted the sharing of knowledge to majority of people. This still remains a dream attainment for humanity. This lack of sharing of collective knowledge creates integration trouble for larger human population itself, who thus remain fragmented and ideologically competing and conflicting. It is tragic and calamitous for humanity that even in contemporary world, there is no single timeline that runs through all 7 billion plus people on the Earth. Most people still live in mid-ages in their ideological and perceptional world of Reality. Big chunk of global human population is living in before Christ era. Even among educated urban population, majority of people are in a timeline, centuries and decades back. They may be living with all 21st century technologies, gadgets and lifestyle choices but their mental, perceptional and ideological timeline is still 19th century or 20th century.
This happens because of failure of humanity to integrate knowledge, upgrade it and share it with all layers of humanity. This is also a huge challenge for larger humanity to understand and accept that Time is not about dates and year on a calendar. It is rather everything about being ‘at’ or ‘behind’ of Holism of Reality, depending upon how much ‘part’ of Reality one associates his or her consciousness with. It may be said that it is also a big blame on scientific community as they even could not reach out the scientific idea of Time, to squeeze the philosophies and faith-related populism out of its understanding among common masses. Universality of acceptance of singular Holism of Reality however has the best prospect in 21st century and this is the singular agenda for all 7 billion plus people.
There is another aspect of this trouble of lack of integration and equal sharing of collective human knowledge, which has been very clearly documented in history. The very partial, fractional and fractured nature of collective knowledge of humans, not having means or intent to integrate them and share them, instinctively engendered a strong sense of missionary mindset. History is full of details of the missionary missions and resultant suppression of masses, resulting in annihilation of their dignity. History is a well documented record of how religion and politics, emboldened and spearheaded by missionary zeal, happened to be the biggest causalities of violence, repression and annihilation, as never ever there could be singular Holism of Reality about religion and politics. Despite the fact that all religions and political ideologies on Earth, since ages have common core creed and they are universal for every human being, still, the lack of integration and assimilation of different wisdoms created differing perceptions and perspectives. Naturally, missionary sentimentalities were pronounced and this fueled confusion, conflict and chaos.
This continues even today in age of reason of 21st century, though in subtle form. The growing trouble is that even today, there are countries and ruling classes there, who are using the force of their might and that of state power-authority to forcibly integrate all population of different ethnic, religious, cultural and ideological belief systems into unitary and monolithic collective belief system. Such forcible integration, which is worst form of missionary aggression, is definitive signs of how humanity has failed big time in intellectually integrating their collective wisdom and sharing it equally with all. Knowledge is singular because ‘Reality’ is singular and when shared and assimilated well, it automatically integrates the consciousnesses of people. Any use of force is signature of partial, fractional and fractured wisdom.
The Integration and Assimilation of collective human knowledge about Reality and sub-Realities of life-living has to happen, then only the seven billion plus humanity can stand tall and united under one single ‘Identity’ of Humanity. Reality is singular and its expression is the root cause of trouble. This very singular objective realism of Reality is the common basis of all humans. This alone is the only ‘Identity’ of all humans. The contemporary world is in immense and perpetual conflicts and chaos only because 7.5 billion-strong humanity has not yet been integrated and assimilated into single Reality. As this could never happen in past and therefore, humanity had to face untold miseries. Now, in 21st century, we know that state and politics is not the solution of humanity. The violence of any shade itself is against and antithetical to the very Reality of Reality. Under no mandate and under no legitimacy, violence can be allowed. The contemporary state and politics with its mandate and legitimacy rooted in abstract and mystical ideas, has no justification in 21st century Reality. The only need is integration and assimilation of humanity under one ‘Identity’ through singular Reality. This is the task and humanity now has the required wherewithal to execute to perfection.
As we said earlier, the history of evolution of the idea of state and polity is testimony to the fact that even when loads of philosophies attempted to link and underline the ultimate sovereignty of people and even attempted to condition the role of state and polity towards liberty of people, they failed to achieve the desired end just because they faced this twin problem. First, they could not find the scientific basis of Reality and therefore they failed to integrate and assimilate humanity into one single idea about Reality. Secondly, humanity did not then have this wherewithal to effect and actualize mandate through a pragmatically feasible way.
There are two classic examples in history of humanity, which show how partial, fractional and fractured knowledge about Reality could never achieve the universal goal of human integration and failed to establish the uniformity of Human Dignity across all layers of humanity. These examples also exhibit how lack of integration and linking of collective wisdom of humanity failed the very utility and fruition of knowledge. These two examples are the idea and grassroots pragmatism of Humanism and Jurisprudence. They need to be understood to have a clear understanding of how and why history failed but in 21st century we have this well-potentialed prospect of being successful.
The Renaissance age idea of Humanism was surely a big leap forward for humanity. It powerfully advocated the hugely crucial and critical reality that human world and human issues must be approached and dealt with from the perspective of the Realism of human body and mind and not from some external, abstractive and faith-related notion. In its holism, Humanism in 15-16th century attempted to install a scientific perspective of objective, measurable and verifiable fact-based Realism of humanity and human life-living. This at that time stood in reaction and clash with contemporary wisdom, which was dominated by Monarchs and Churches and their abstract and faith-based Realism. Humanism had a perfect call for a reason and logic based world of humans where Human Dignity had the best possible potential of fruition. This however, could not happen and Humanism movement lost its energy very soon.
If we relook the history and analyze the factors that failed humanism in installing a world order that it deserved, we can clearly point out key reasons. First and foremost, Humanism movement of renaissance era was more philosophically aligned than scientifically factual about Reality; especially about that of human body and mind. It sort of hypothesized a reality about human beings, which was not scientifically tenable. The core idea of Humanism accepted the General Will of individual as rational and righteous, which was untenable and also, it did not account for so many other elements that conditions the Human Will, especially the education and knowledge part. To say that an individual knows what is good for him and therefore he has the Will to be the Boss is as scientifically untenable as saying that the King is the representative of God and has the right to rule over people. Humanism failed as collective wisdom then did not have the true scientifically tenable knowledge of Reality and that of Human Consciousness and its complex nature. Even this much hyped liberal philosophy of social contract hypothesized about a human Reality, which was unscientific and did not match with the Reality of human consciousness.
Humanism as a creed rested on the hypothesis of innate human nature, which was philosophical but as scientific knowledge about human body, brain, consciousness and cognitive behavior, etc were still not available, it stood in contradiction to what actual innate human nature is. The cardinal mistake of Humanism was that as it accepted the primacy and supremacy of individual over all other things, it naturally had to fall on a hypothesis about the innate righteousness and infallibility of average human being. This hypothesis, we now know very well, is out-rightly wrong. Humanism has to be the sole basis of every human affair not because humans are innately right and good. Rather, on the contrary, human beings are innately reactive, their consciousness is very localized and given to stupidities and hypocrisies. Still, humanism has to be the no-option, only choice because, humans cannot be managed and administered on any basis and system, which does not objectively and singularly conform to the holistic Reality of human body-mind mechanism and processes. Humanism in 21st century has to be based on the scientific Reality of Humanity and not on some utopian philosophical hypotheses.
Secondly, idea of 15th-16th century Humanism failed to integrate itself with other contemporary knowledge of humanity. The very assertion of the hypothesis about the centrality of individual Will required it to be aligned with the imminence of education and awareness of collective humanity about the newly emerging knowledge of the world around them. The limited elitist nature of ‘humanism-appeal’ was evident and rooted in lack of tools of effective communication structures then. Naturally, Humanism remained restricted to just a philosophy of an idealism, for which there was little pragmatic grassroots realities backing it. Any change, if it has to sustain, has to ride on an energy that derives its source not from the patronage of a section of society but from the support of the majority of masses itself. Renaissance primarily was patronized by the elite section and as communication and sharing was not easy then in the 15-16th century, it failed to reach the mass base and therefore died down as regional political realities changed, weakening the force of the patronage it had.
The same reasons can also be attributed to the idea of modern Jurisprudence not becoming a single, objective and universal reality, which is probably the most critical requirement for Human Dignity. If we look at the history of humanity, if we pick up one single element of human societies that has caused most pains, sufferings and heinous injustice, it is the abstractions, stupidities and hypocrisies of the idea of Jurisprudence. Its innate and embedded propensity to align with politics and power structures makes Jurisprudence a deep pathology of many human troubles, especially the killer of human dignity. It still remains in the same archaic mold.
The worst hypocrisy of history of evolution of jurisprudence however remains the structural part of justice delivery system, which actually enacts the laws and reaches out for individuals. The ghastly fact remains that no doubt, human dignity has been butchered hugely by bad laws but majorly by corrupted and inefficient law enforcing and dispensing agencies and structures. The judicial and civil administrations almost always ensured that benefits of lawfulness of system remained at the side of the mighty and authoritative; leaving out the poor and un-resourced. This malaise jurisprudence seldom considers as something as part of the holism of its duty even today. Globally, even in developed countries, where human dignity has better history, the contemporary judicial system still has the innate propensity and orientation to align with state and its agencies, while sitting on judgments concerning human rights and dignity; leaving the common men and women gasping for the much sought after relief and justice.
The trouble with jurisprudence is the same what it has been with the idea and idealism of humanism. When there is no definite, objective, verifiable and universally acceptable basis of what Reality is, there can never be any reasonable and logical basis of how human body-mind works and how it sees and accepts reality. Be it Humanism or Jurisprudence, no code and creed of management of human affairs can have credibility and effectiveness if it is not in conformity and symmetry with critical Reality of Consciousness, Cognition and Causalities, which engender the Holism of Reality. In the absence of singular Reality, there can never be a universal human code for culpability as well as corrective legalities. As collective human wisdom could attain this criticality of Holism of Reality only in recent decades, it is only now that humanity can have the true and right Humanism and Jurisprudence. This shall prove to be the critical basis of firm and lasting installation of Human Dignity in the human world.
Jurisprudence, like Humanism, since its inception in civilized human living 5000 years back, always worked its ways on the basis of abstract ideas, partial causalities and a hypothetical acceptance of the reality of human self. That is probably why, jurisprudence, like the idea of humanism, remained predominantly elitist, aligned to powerful and mighty elements of ruling minority and happily blind to hypocritical insinuations. Jurisprudence has had a very patchy and fractured historical record of aligning with the common man-woman and his or her dignity in social milieus, where equality and equitability was always massively missing. It is a colossal tragedy for humanity even in 2020 that humanity has an education model, which is 150 years old and jurisprudence model as old as 300 years. This is a telling example of how knowledge of humanity has miserably failed in the critical task of integration, linking and assimilation of collective wisdom. This must end. Politics, governments and any other human system cannot change and cannot be expected to do any good if the basic, primary and grassroots issue is not taken care of. Reality has to integrate humanity into singular contemporary Identity.
It is shameful and curse on humanity that it took thousands of years for humanity and its elitist leadership to accept gender equality and equal rights of women as core and critical element of jurisprudence. It took thousands of years and massacre of billions of innocent men, women and children for humanity and its hypocritical leadership to accept the idea of Human Rights and Fundamental Rights as spine and skeleton of the body of jurisprudence. However, still, even in 21st century, human rights and fundamental rights remain merely paper tigers and the most prolific and ghastly violators of human and fundamental rights are none other but the state and government institutions, including the judicial system. This is a global reality with no exception. It is primarily because even modern jurisprudence clearly misses the Holism of Reality and therefore is shrouded in hypocrisies and facilitative abstractions and mysticism.
The brilliant and great luminaries and intellectuals of human history, till date has not yet realized and accepted that no human enterprise for good and right of humanity can survive and sustain if it is not integrated with other equally crucial wisdom and knowledge. Also, the collective human wisdom, in its integrated holism must also be based on scientific, objective, singular and verifiable reality of human body-mind realism. Hypothetical philosophies and presumptuous psychologies can never be the basis of any holistic vision of humanity.
When we talk of the wisdom of humanism or jurisprudence, they must be based on scientific reality of human consciousness, its cognitive structures and behavioral causalities. Also, they have to be integrated with equally important human wisdom on subjects of governance and public administration, judicial mechanisms and processes, political and economic pragmatism, technological expertise, etc so that Humanism and Jurisprudence idealisms could be installed in its holism and totality to grassroots levels.
It could not happen in the past as collective human wisdom was not at the stage of scientific objectivity it is now. Also, the potential to integrate collective wisdom is at best today because of the technological advancement in communication and reception. It is this technological edge and criticality, which also potentials the efficiency and effective monitoring of governance and public administration structures and agencies. It is the long history of humanity and its prolonged and persistent failure in installing the dignity and sovereignty of the individual, which tells us why and how we failed as collective humanity and how these can now be corrected with singular energy and focus in the 21st century to Give Individual Back the Crown He or She Owns!
Somehow, it is now beginning to dawn upon a small section of intellectuals and scientists that biggest requirement for humanity and its wellness is this very critical integration of collective wisdom and constitute them as singular, holistic and universal footprint of humanity. In the coming decades of the 21st century, if collective wisdom of humanity could sincerely and sufficiently embark upon this unitary task of Knowledge Integration, it would be the hugely catalytic platform for installation of human dignity and sovereignty of the individual in 21st century. This is the only possibility, which can save humanity of its colossal stupidities and hypocrisies.
When we look at the contemporary reality of modern states, governments and politics, we can clearly see how calamitously they are still playing havoc with the lives of people with their abstract and mystical ideas about human Reality. It is not only stupid but also tragic that billions of human lives are being risked because their lives are being managed on the basis of stupidly abstract and mystical ideas, which have no basis in Scientific Reality. We shall deliberate in details about the abstract and mystical ideas that state, governments and politics of contemporary world profess and perpetuate for ruling over people, which not only annihilate Human Dignity but also plays havoc with human lives.
As we have accepted that lack of human knowledge about ‘Reality’ was the core trouble fo
