Starting from its very inception, from the time of Adam and Eve, humanity has always been uncivilized, has always been engaged in uncivilized citizenship. Incessantly, inevitably, and inescapably, humanity has been violent, corrupt, and prejudiced. Its uncivilized citizenship unavoidably brings about wealth destruction, wealth abuse, and wealth waste, perpetuating poverty. To civilize itself, humanity is required to shun its barbarity and eradicate its poverty. Humanity cannot escape barbarity and end poverty without embracing nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance. To attain its cherished wish to become a noble species, humanity must embrace Civilized Citizenship by becoming nonviolent, altruistic, and tolerant.
I was trained in development economics. I am affiliated with no one, associated with no one, identified with nothing. My monologues summarize my reading of human reality, review of human history. They have three purposes. Their first purpose is to make people aware of the unbearable economic costs of violence, corruption, and prejudice. Their second purpose is to tell people about the untold economic benefits of nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance. Their third purpose is to explain why ideology is idiocy, dictatorship is detrimental, and flawed democracy is a swindle.
America’s democracy is a flawed democracy that the powerful use to scam the powerless. American democracy was designed and sustained to enable and empower the powerful to fleece the powerless. Only a flawless democracy undergirded by nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance will ensure ongoing improvement in the standard of living and quality of life for the 90-plus percent of patriotic Americans and thus eliminate poverty forever.
Violence, corruption, and prejudice make and keep humanity uncivilized. Humanity cannot become civilized without eschewing violence, corruption, and prejudice. Humanity will remain uncivilized as long as it perpetuates violence, corruption, and prejudice. It will continue to be uncivilized and cannot become civilized until it shuns violence, corruption, and prejudice. Humanity cannot eliminate poverty without abstaining from violence, corruption, and prejudice. Violence, corruption, and prejudice are the sole cause of humanity’s never-ending poverty. My name is irrelevant, though what I say is consequential.
Synopsis
Violence. Corruption. Prejudice. Violence, corruption, and prejudice make up humanity’s uncivilized citizenship. They constitute humanity’s embodiment. They are humanity’s scandalous quintessence. They are actuated and actualized by humanity’s ingrained barbarity. Violence, corruption, and prejudice keep humanity everlastingly uncivilized. Humanity’s quintessence is barbarity. Barbarity exemplifies and epitomizes humanity to be everlastingly uncivilized.
With no exception, every human being is innately inclined toward violence, corruption, and prejudice. Uncivilized citizenship began with the arrival of Adam and creation of Eve. Corruption started when Adam and Eve purloined the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Prejudice started when Adam and Eve preferred their son, Abel, over their other son, Cain. Violence started when Cain killed Abel. Since then, violence, corruption, and prejudice have continued nonstop. They burgeoned as the population count burgeoned. They proliferated as humanity proliferated.
Uncivilized citizenship happens when people’s innate inclination for violence, corruption, and prejudice are actualized. Violence, corruption, and prejudice bring about unimaginable tragedies, impeding and curtailing humanity’s prosperity and progress. Nonstop violence, corruption, and prejudice inescapably encase humanity in barbarity and poverty. Human barbarity inevitably is the source of violence, corruption, and prejudice. That violence, corruption, and prejudice unavoidably entail unbearable economic and social costs, keeping humanity in perennial poverty.
Ideology, despotism, and flawed democracy were invented subsequent to the beginning of violence, corruption, and prejudice. Ideology, despotism, and flawed democracy inescapably exacerbate violence, corruption, and prejudice. Thus, ideology, despotism, and flawed democracy heighten human barbarity, thus worsening humanity’s poverty.
Violence, corruption, and prejudice, actualized through people’s innate inclination for barbarity, as well as violence, corruption, and prejudice, caused by ideology, despotism, and flawed democracy, have immortalized humanity’s barbarity and poverty across cultures and generations. Violence, corruption, and prejudice are the sole cause of humanity’s entrenched and perennial poverty. Without ending violence, corruption, and prejudice, humanity cannot eliminate poverty. Without ending violence, corruption, and prejudice, humanity will utterly fail, as it has failed so far, to eradicate poverty anywhere, either in rich countries, or in poor countries.
An immeasurably superior alternative to humanity’s uncivilized citizenship is Civilized Citizenship. Nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance make up Civilized Citizenship. Unlike uncivilized citizenship, which is an innate human trait, Civilized Citizenship is an acquired attribute. Being an acquired attribute, Civilized Citizenship is required to be nurtured. Nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance will unremittingly and unceasingly create untold economic and social benefits, helping humanity eliminate poverty forever.
Nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance will enable humanity to eliminate barbarity and eradicate poverty. Civilized Citizenship will endow humanity its hallowed triumph. Nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance alone will civilize people. Only nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance can free humanity from being uncivilized. Without becoming nonviolent, altruistic, and tolerant, humanity cannot become civilized. Civilized Citizenship will free humanity from its immanent barbarity and inevitable poverty. Only nonviolence, altruism, and tolerance will help humanity become concurrently civilized and affluent.
