The Essence of the Human Sciences

The Humanities try to get consensus among those concerned about the basics objectives (O) to be multiplied (m) in society. Similarly, your brain works out a model of the physical world (F1-3), that you can administer (F4), to be able to undertake (F5) the desired action in terms of F1-3, and keep its outcome under control (F6) in terms of the initial idea:

F4=PP: Looking at the past (P) of the human past, it seems all the approaches to putting life-fulfillment in the center of the mental operating systems of people have failed. In fact they were in the end misused for establishing power positions. And in these post-normal times, the mother of all human power is Ce. And we all know the result of the kind of injustice in the established Communication, say against the Jews. With its associated end- and death-technology, waste of life; among others, the thinking catastrophe of communism led to some 100 million murders and to incredible pollution...

F5=FN: Without closing the gap of procrastination and avoidance scenarios about our future (F) we provoke in the present now (N), humanity is lead deeper into the prevailing content-free thinking catastrophes inherent in a Ce-driven mentality. On the other hand, more and more people say goodbye to the prevailing system and find ways to overcome its mobbing and scapegoating by deregulating Ce, language and meaning up to throwing out the baby with the bathwater...

F6=NP: At this stage, which is now beyond the point of no return to the past zigzagging, one has to go ones path with or without someone else, WOWSE. Here the connotation, the personal meaning breaks through the denotational, personally-neutral and generalizing Ce of the trend and the spirit of the time. It is sad when a person can only get to Ce and die, for through that last gate we all go alone, past Ce, with what we acquired beyond it as persoanlly relevant!

How can the past (P) facts be managed with the past experience of failure, and in view of the temptation of end-technology, sin? Modern methods and techniques are now evolving to support group work, say on the flagships of the US Navy or in the decisions support centers of global players, while the quality of the knowledge work degenerates in the heads defaulted to the spirit of the time....

The insights, the methods and the technology for global solutions are now readily available on the Internet! Why are they not used appropriately?  How can the projected future (F) shape the now (N)? We can either avoid the dawning truth, or continue our path with it, and in consequence waste, or fulfill our lives by taking up our cross to deregulate Ce correspondingly. The latter entails social risks, and to face them, we need to revitalize the deregulated social social space with our personal life-fulfillment!

How can the now shed light on the past? First of all that happens within the individual; only YOU can discover, invent, create and rise beyond the mere evolution of forms and opinions in YOUR life by being responsible towards how you control ideas in terms of their manifestations, theory with practice. Therefore at this stage, the question of personal belief, attitude and basics understood, are decisive.
