Moral Innovators’ perspective on humanity today

Moral Innovators focus on humanity and to thrive with knowledge of your place in the world. 

Earth was formed ~4.5 billion years ago.  Our Last Universal Common Ancestor (or LUCA) lived ~4 billion years ago as life evolved through photosynthesis with Rubisco enzyme to deliver oxygen from carbon dioxide that changed our atmosphere.  Geology (i.e. land mass) and climate cycles through the last ice age 15,000 years ago have shaped today’s earth.  With a stable atmosphere, humans were created/evolved and settled down to domesticate animals that produced more food than we can consume.  Languages and arts/music emerged as some humans did not have to concentrate on food and shelter.  Today, three communities represent over 90% of humanity on earth:  1) Atheists in China, 2) Henotheists in India, 3) Monotheists in the rest of earth.

Until 200 years ago, Atheists and Henotheists commanded the global economy with the Silk Road, bigger than Roman and Ottoman Empires.  Christian Monotheists industrialized for 300 years by taking treasures and enslaving other humans.  Britain sought all global treasures.  When the 1773 Boston Tea Party happened, Britain gave the British East India Company (BEIC) the monopoly power to trade opium that same year (1773).  BEIC produced opium in the newly colonized Henotheist India and delivered opium into Atheist China.  For over a century until World War I, a united front of Christian Monotheists took treasures (i.e. capital) out of China.  After the puppet-state Japan replaced Shogun culture with Meiji Restoration after the 1854 US Commodore Perry visits, the radicalized Japan under Hirohita tested and used chemical weapons in Atheist China and raped/killed civilians throughout Asia with no remorse.  Even today, textbooks in Japan generally defended Japan without teaching Japanese students the inhumane Japanese invasions across Asia.  Japan colonized Korea, Ryukyu and Taiwan until the atomic bombs ended World War II in 1945. 

The global human population grew from 1 billion in the year 1800 to 2.5 billion in 1945 through the US Gilded Age and Jim Crow Laws when Christian Monotheists led immoral innovations under the name of opium trade to take US$100 trillion (2010$) capital from Atheists China until there was no more capital (i.e. money) to be taken just before World War I.

Adolph Hitler was democratically elected via a coalition government to become Chancellor using the platform that Germany should no longer pay the obligations under the Versailles Treaty that ended World War I.  To rebuild the depleted German capital, Hitler radicalized USA eugenics under the name of an Aryan race that first took money and then annihilated a large portion of Jews through the Holocaust.  Today, students in Germany learn the Jewish holocaust.

Following the footsteps of Portugal and Spain who declared ownership of the world beginning in 1493, USA and Japan signed treaties that declared Hawaii belong to the USA, and Ryukyu (its largest island is known today as Okinawa) belong to Japan.  As recently as 2019, Japan’s now assassinated Prime Minister Abe nominated the radicalized USA egotistical narcissist Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Britain identified fossil fuel as the engine to sustain industrialization. After the 1874 demise of BEIC, British Petroleum (BP) was incorporated in 1908 after the discovery of oil in Persia (today’s Iran). In 1953, Winston Churchill convinced USA’s President Eisenhower to use CIA in a coup d’etat to replace the democratically elected President of Iran with the puppet Shah of Iran in order to control Iranian oil.  This is one of the root causes of poor US-Iran relations today.

Monotheist Muslims did not emerge until OPEC flexed its muscles beginning in 1973.  Each one of the more than 8 billion humans today contributes to an average of $2 trillion dollars of profit to the owners of fossil fuels for the last 50 years.  This is like delivering the 8^th largest economy on earth (i.e. Canada) to the fossil fuel owners each and every year.  Unless we take action to mitigate giving our money to the owners of fossil fuels, we are like a frog in heating water – we may not survive.

Unlike frogs, we must jump out of the heating water and focus on the root cause – the widening wealth gap.

Moral Innovators’ perspectives on impact of wealth preservation and trade on mental health

Moral Innovators know that global industrialization in the last 500 years happened with a focus on innovations at the expense of morality.  For example, Tordesillas and Zaragoza Treaties declared that the world belongs to Portugal and Spain without input from Chinese, Indians, Native Americans, Africans, Muslims nor other Caucasian Christians in Europe.  In business terms, the return on investment for Christopher Columbus’ voyages has been artificial high due to the very low cost of investment.

After the Tordesillas/Zaragoza treaties, treasures were taken from around the world for 300 years before Caucasian Christians recruited Japan to force 1 million tons of opium into China against Chinese laws in exchange for $100 trillion (2010 USD) that supported the first US Gilded Age which allowed families like Carnegie, Rockefeller and Vanderbilt to join Medici and Rothchild in Europe.  When China ran out of money by the beginning of the 20^th century, Caucasian Christians tried Versailles Treaty to extract money from Germany through the world wars until humanity’s reliance on energy led to the OPEC cartel and rise of the Muslim Gilded Age led by Saudi Arabia.  In the last 20 years, the stock market supported another Gilded Age led by Bezos, Gates, Buffet, Musk and Google founders Page and Brin.

If we dig deeper along the two pillars of investments to industrialize our world, we see a pattern of wealth preservation by the Caucasian Christians to maintain or expand the wealth gap.  It is no longer possible to restrict wealth only to Caucasian Christians because Saudi Muslims have large oil reserves.

Let’s look at the first pillar – capital (or money) using USA to illustrate events today.  We had a eugenicist narcissist win the 2016 presidential elections via electoral college while he lost by 3+ million popular votes.  (Note:  This means USA is NOT A DEMOCRACY but a republic, the subject of another blog.) Like Reagan, the eugenicist narcissist leveraged partisan politics to deliver tax cuts that artificially inflated corporate profits (due to lower taxes) and drove stock growth even as federal budget deficit grew by $1.9 trillion dollars per year (highest rate in US history).  Unlike Reagan, estate tax dropped to 40% rate with $11.6 million exemption per parent by 2020, compared to 77% rate with $0.09 million exemption in 1976.  The net result is preservation of wealth that Caucasians have ~10 times more wealth than African American families which impact education and related career opportunities.  Like China, USA is also  sacrificing the environment to support growth like quaternary oil recovery methods (e.g. fracking).

By digging deeper into related issues like trade, European Christians in the form of OECD nations established GATT as international treaties in 1946 (the predecessor to WTO).  Where was the equivalent of GATT (or WTO) when equivalent OECD nations (like Spain, Portugal, Britain, Netherlands, etc) extracted treasures from around the world between 16^th to 19^th centuries and completely ignored illegal opium imported into China against Chinese laws in the 19^th century?  GATT expanded through OPEC with the most recent (2001) round of meetings in Doha before WTO emerged.  This is an example of lack of morality when we focused on the extraction of wealth from around the world. After wealth has been accumulated, moral or ethical rules have been added to make it difficult for others to accumulate wealth, while Caucasian Christians devise methods to preserve wealth they had accumulated, including from unethical means. China is the largest trade nation that helps modernize and update WHO rules of trade through the Belt-Road projects. While some in WHO allege unfair trade and human rights violations, there are regional trade organizations such as ASEAN, APEC, BRICS, and others that are also bigger than EU which represent mostly the Caucasian Christians in Europe. China plays an important role guiding trade rules among different organizations with 2,000+ years of global trade (silk road) experience.

A similar pattern can be found for the second pillar – labor.  From slavery to peony age and Jim Crow laws, we have unequal wages and gender/race discrimination leading up to Anti-Asian violence and Black Lives Matter issues we see today.  We can examine that evolutionary process in a separate blog.

These may be root causes for the growing mental issues we face.  When we cannot logically understand what is happening and feel trapped with few opportunities, violence is the easy way out.  If we pursue knowledge through a moral innovations framework, there will be more opportunities for our children to decide their future.
