About Perceptionism and Humanity’s Value, Purpose & Direction
For as long as humans have had consciousness, we have been searching for the meaning of life and our purpose.
Founded by The Institute of Perceptionism, Inc., PERCEPTIONISM® is a philosophy based on the value of human observations and cognizance of the universe, be it ever so vast or minute. Without the perception provided by humanity, there would be only insignificant wave of various lengths. There would be no sound; no light; no time; no space; no relativity. The fundamental principle of PERCEPTIONISM® is that humanity makes a unique contribution to the Universe. Our perception of the universe provides an element to the Universe without which the Universe would be lesser. Therefore, as a result of this contribution to the Universe, humanity has great value, and thereby, has purpose and direction.
A VISION OF A PERCEPTIONISM® WORLD
A Perceptionism world is a civilization of an optimization of human beings in a social structure that enables individuals to lead happy productive lives; that enable humanity to make a maximum contribution to its beneficial impact on the Universe. Such a social structure will enable an infinite evolution of the human species in that direction.
The Family
Perceptionism recognizes the family as the most fundamental basic building block of civilization. The family is the Human Incubator that provides the physical sustenance; earliest education; the functional socialization and the psychological development essential to the properly matured individual. At this time the maturation of a human individual ranges from twenty to Thirty years.
Religion
All human individual demonstrate a need for a belief structure that fulfills a Need for a sense of purpose; a sense of personal value; a way of accepting the otherwise capriciousness of personal fortune or miss fortune and/or the unpleasant prospect of death. Any or all of these become one’s religion
Most commonly, these are accompanied with a social moral code. Absence an acceptance of a set of dogmatic rules guiding human behavior the individual and a society as a whole is left with a “Might makes Right” moral guidance. Perceptionism offers simple Rules that are coextensively and simultaneously compatible with most existing social moral codes.
Formal Education
Perceptionism demands that the education of minor children is solely in the domain and purview of the sovereign parents. Institutions offering formal education must do so in a free, competitive and unencumbered market to assure an ever improving educational system.
Government
Ina a Perceptionism world, sovereignty does not rest in government. Sovereignty resides in and is vested in the individual citizen. Government only serves the individual citizens by assuring: orderly social intercourse; free, honest, competitive markets and protecting and preserving the Sovereignty of the individual over his/her Person, Property and Minor children from any and all encroachments.
Economic System
A Perceptionism Economic System will maximize the human life’s experiences throughout life’s cycle; maximize human development; maximize human achievement; while distributing its production from Land and Capital across the population honoring the range of varying human contribution to the total.
A PERCEPTIONISM® WORLD will enable Humanity to evolve infinitely to become a species possessing abilities and capacities beyond our present comprehension or imagination. Here is to be found humanity’s purpose, value, direction and happiness.
