The Society

1.2    Society

 

By their nature, the individual is a free biological being and a social being as well. “The individual who knows” is aware that they will satisfy their natural needs to a greater extent by associating with another individual. By associating with others, the individual accomplishes a higher power in nature and, accordingly, a greater possibility of satisfying their natural needs. The joining of people represents a community of individuals with specific and collective needs.   

A “society that knows” is based on equal human rights. The establishment of equal human rights is the only condition for creating a good society. Without equal human rights, a good society cannot be formed. Equal human rights mean that whatever is allowed to somebody in social relationships must be allowed to everybody else, and vice versa, what is forbidden to somebody must be banned to everybody.  

The individual is a natural need for another individual and the value as well. In a “society that knows,” each individual has respect to all members of society irrespective of the differences in their degree of ability or power. In such a society each individual is entitled to participate in the decision-making processes about the rules for joint activities. In this way, the sum of all individual needs form the optimal collective needs of society, which determine the rules of the social relationship.  

Such rules establish the rights and obligations of individuals. The rights determine the freedoms of people, while obligations diminish them as the people are forced to behave toward nature and society in the way that suits the community as a whole. “The society that knows” regulates the rules of the social relationship by reducing the personal inconveniences and by increasing the collective conveniences to all. Such rules suit all members of society to the most significant extent possible.  

Society has the same reactions to the relationship with nature as individuals. “The society that knows” forms needs following its nature within the limits of the natural power of realization and thus satisfies their needs and accomplishes the conveniences.   

One can say that the individual during their lifetime takes the roads of development of the society. A child has neither knowledge nor ability to meet their natural needs. The parents who know how to live following their nature are satisfied and as such develop love toward the children. They take over ongoing care for meeting the children’s natural needs. Such an attitude brings warmth and joy, which is a prerequisite for the prosperity of both the child and society. The people not deprived in their youth, later become sound protagonists in society.     

“The individual who knows” brings benefits to themselves and the society as a whole. Therefore, “the society that knows” is interested in having each member be familiar with the amount of knowledge they possess. “The society that knows” forms an impartial knowledge about the laws of movements in nature, and educates the young members on the rights, duties, and responsibilities for their wellbeing in society and nature. The young who see active and satisfied adult members of “the society that knows” form a belief in a convenient future and, therefore, accepts with pleasure the rights, duties and responsibilities of the community. “The society that knows” forms the education that follows the interest of the students and the society, as in this way the act of education satisfies the needs and desires of the students and produces benefits to society as a whole.   

Society meets its needs by work. “The society that knows” establishes needs by mutual agreements, and then by the associated work meets the needs and in such a way accomplishes benefits. “In the society that knows” each worker has an equal right to work in every work post, and the most productive interested worker gets the job. In this way, society reaches the most significant productivity and the highest values in the production, while freedom in choosing jobs enables work to become a value for itself.   

“The society that knows” distributes work to workers in the way that the work posts form balanced conveniences to them as well as in distributing the results of work. Such an approach builds an equal interest of workers to perform every work. Such social attitude toward work allows the coverage of all work posts with the workers who perform their jobs following their own natural needs and abilities.   

An autonomous worker works only if they have a direct interest. On the other hand, if they lose such interest, they lose the need to work and stop working. In associated labour, the worker is forced to work when it is a collective need, regardless of whether it suits them or not. Associated labour may be inconvenient and, therefore, in “the society that knows” each individual may exercise the right to perform work that brings them less inconvenience.   

An autonomous worker bears responsibility for their work by their work accomplishments. In associated labour, an irresponsible worker may inflict great inconveniences to the working collective because of the relation existing among the work processes. This is why “the society that knows” forms the efficient principles of accountability for the workers who fail to perform the work obligations and for behaviour not suitable to society. Therefore, each member of such a society behaves responsibly toward nature, community, work, and work results. Being aware of their responsibility, they form the work needs following their nature and possibility of realization. Such an orientation is a precondition for satisfying needs and for the basis of a constructive orientation of society.   

In “the society that knows,” the products of collective work are distributed according to the contribution of each individual in the process of production. The work that produces a higher value brings greater conveniences to the society, and thus deserves a higher reward in the share of the products of communal work. The distribution of work results among the workers has also performed according to the degree of inconveniences occurred during the work. A more inconvenient work duty requires a higher compensation, and therefore it receives a higher share in the distribution of the conveniences coming from the result of work. In the distribution of produced goods we should count the contribution of workers’ ancestors as well because each result of work contains a vast quantity of past labour.   

“The society that knows” always forms solidary distribution elements, which guarantee the existence of the entire population, regardless of whether they participate directly in the production. In that way, society creates a view that the individual is a value to the individual. Solidarity provides products intended for individual consumption to everyone who needs it. It establishes social stability and helps the development of new forces in society that reproduce such orientation.  

The society that continually manages to satisfy its needs is a satisfied, powerful and noble society. The community with generous members necessarily helps each other and develops unity which brings prosperity. It believes in its force and is confident to be able to reach conveniences. The consequence of such belief results in love appearing among the members of society, the social equilibrium and harmony with nature.   

In such a society each member helps the development of every individual, as in this way they also contribute to their own development. Giving is a source of manifestation of the power of being that brings great benefits. “The society that knows” ensures the reproduction of constructive orientation and can plan its development and prosperity. Such a society is a healthy society.

The Individual

 

1.1       Individual

 

Nature contains an infinite quantity of matter charged with energy which creates an endless multitude of forces, actions and reactions, tensions and equilibriums. The individual is a living part of nature; they possess the sensorial ability, thoughtfulness and the ability to act consciously. By moving, nature creates sensorial advantages and disadvantages to the individual. The sensorial difference between the advantages and disadvantages forms the individual’s needs.  

The individual defines their needs through thoughts. By thoughts, the individual creates and accumulates the consciousness of the advantages and disadvantages of their relationships with nature. In different conditions, thoughts form different emotional states. When the state of nature does not suit an individual, it creates in them a sensorial and emotional tension that concentrates energy towards finding an appropriate state.   

The individual mostly meets their needs by conscious action. The intensity of their actions depends directly on the degree of the disadvantages. Small disadvantages induce small moving energy, while significant obstacles that also bring into question their survival, accumulate the entire individual’s strength in their struggle for survival. The process of activity lasts until the individual satisfy their needs.  

Satisfaction of the needs brings advantages that are proportionate to the intensity of surpassed disadvantages. Advantages appear in the form of relaxation from the inconvenient tension and in a sensorial and emotional satisfaction. The process results in saturation. The relation of the needs and saturation change periodically, with the intervals dependant on the nature of the needs. The period of saturation relieves the individual from their needs.   

The individual depends on nature, therefore they are not entirely free. In its broadest sense, freedom represents a state of full independence and, accordingly, does not allow the formation of needs, either. The individual who has vital needs does not need freedom in the broadest sense. In a narrow sense, freedom should be a state which allows the satisfaction of needs because the individual who cannot meet their needs are not free. Such freedom is a condition for the accomplishment of the individual’s subsistence, for the development of their abilities, powers, cognition, and therefore the individual can and needs to have such freedom.   

Nature has unlimited power compared to the individual; however, thanks to their biological development, the individual adapts to the movements of nature and develops their abilities so that in normal, natural conditions they can meet their natural needs. The individual can be free in nature. Their freedom is based on their ability to do what they want; however, such freedom depends on their cognition that they want what they can do.   

During their lifetime, the individual acquires a multitude of favourable and unfavourable sensorial and emotional states arising from relations with nature. By controlling and arranging their reflective determinations as regards to the sensorial and emotional aspects of the life practice, they create knowledge about the conditions bringing advantages and disadvantages in nature. Knowledge formation is the individual’s greatest ability. Knowledge implies the forming of objective definitions of the laws of movements in nature, the definitions that under equal conditions form equal reactions irrespective of the degree of advantage or disadvantage that such definitions create to people. Objective definitions present the laws of the movements in nature as they are.    

Knowledge gives power to the individual to meet their needs by a conscious and organized work. The individual opposes the disadvantages in nature with planned work. They produce the means needed for their survival and the creation of more significant advantages. The working ability gives the individual a high power in nature.   

Anything that creates benefits has its value. The individual accepts the value in cases where differences may exist between advantages and disadvantages, where needs are not satisfied or may not be satisfied. The value is proportional to needs.   

The work output has its value in use or natural value. Natural value of the products of labour meets the individual’s natural needs related to the survival and living standard. The work brings advantages by itself to some extent so that it has some usable value to some extent as well. The individual’s bright future lies in finding the job that brings more benefits in its duration because in that way the individual reaches more existential conveniences. As a general rule, such conveniences last longer and may also be more intensive than the conveniences arising from consuming work results.   

By using knowledge, the individual defines the rightness of movements in nature, and the more deeply they reveal them, the more broadly they can apply their regularity. Knowledge gives the individual the power that is in its form unlimited to nature. The more the individual develops knowledge, the higher the needs they can create and meet, the more control they have over the conditions forming their sensorial and emotional states. “The individual who knows” can discover and build their progressive orientations, to live in harmony with their nature, to rely on their forces, to believe in their power and themselves. Such an individual can understand their relationship with nature, to develop love with nature, to develop a constructive relationship with nature, and to find pleasure in connection with nature. Such an individual necessarily lives in harmony with nature. 

The more the individual knows, the more they meet their natural needs, the more balanced they are, the more they believe in conveniences, the more optimism they build toward life, the more relaxed, content, joyful they live. Generally speaking, this is a description of an individual who lives a natural productive life and as such can be easily recognized.   

Wisdom is the highest level of knowledge. It is acquired only by the experience gained by healthy, natural living. The wise individual continually satisfies their natural needs and therefore experiences a significant satisfaction. They have everything they need, irrespective of the quantity and quality of what they have, and consequently, they are satisfied. By overcoming the inconveniences, the conveniences also lose importance. In other words, when differences between the possible conveniences and inconveniences get smaller, the needs also get smaller. The more the individual knows the less need they have, which means that by living they come closer to freedom in its broadest sense. 

The Society

 

 

1.1           Society

 

The natural laws of society

 

The individual is a free biological being and a social being by their nature. “The individual who knows” is aware that they will satisfy their natural needs to a greater extent by associating with another individual. “A society that knows” achieves that. Such a society accomplishes a higher power in nature and, accordingly, a greater possibility of satisfying their natural needs. The joining of people represents a community of individuals with specific and collective needs. These needs determine social relationships.

 

Social relationships do not occur accidentally; they depend on social conditions. When the same social conditions permanently create identical results, they may be called the natural laws of society. This study seeks to prove that the natural laws of society will establish a good community. Now, the question arises if some rules can establish a good society, why has it been so absent from the history of humankind? The answer is straightforward: Society has never defined the natural laws of society. This study presents the natural laws of society and argues that they will build an incomparably better community than has ever existed

 

The natural laws of society should determine social behaviour, like how the laws of physics determine powers in nature. Understanding the laws of physics lets people live in harmony with the physical world. Likewise, understanding the natural laws of society will let people live in harmony that is impossible to obstruct. This paper elaborates on this.

 

Considering that society’s natural laws were never defined, this study used the book “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy” written by Isaac Newton[1] in 1687 as a reference model for determining natural social laws. Accepting society’s natural laws is intended to contribute to the progress of humanity in the same way Isaac Newton contributed to the development of physics.

 

1st natural law of society:     Destructive people are dissatisfied and form destructive social relations. Satisfied people are not destructive and create constructive social relations.

 

2nd natural law of society:  Strong people tend to dominate over the weak, forming a repressive society. People of equal power respect and do not try to dominate each other, thus creating harmonious social relations.

 

3rd natural law of society:     Social privileges create unequal power among people, causing social problems, while equal human rights give the same social power to people, preventing social problems. Equal human rights create constructive and harmonious social relations, making people satisfied with their lives.

 

The first and second natural laws of society are self-explanatory. They might have some exceptions due to the perversion existing in the alienated world. But once a community recognizes the natural laws of society, they should remove perversion in society and establish constructive and harmonious social relations without exceptions. 

 

The first and second natural laws contribute to understanding the third natural law of society, which is the most important in this study. The third law is not an obvious solution for creating productive social relations of satisfied people because equal human rights have never existed.

 

A “society that knows” will form equal human rights. The definition of equal human rights should mean that all people have equal opportunities in life. What is allowed to some must be allowed to everybody else, and vice versa; what is forbidden to some must be forbidden to all. This study will try to provide evidence that the establishment of equal human rights is the only condition for creating a good society. Without equal human rights, a good society cannot be formed.

 

The individual is a natural need for another individual and the value. In a “society that knows,” everyone respects all members of society irrespective of the differences in their degree of ability or power. In such a society, everyone is entitled to participate in the decision-making processes about the rules for joint activities. In this way, the sum of all individual needs forms the optimal collective needs of society, which determine the laws of the social
relationship.

 

Equal human rights demand obligations of individuals as well. The rights determine people’s freedoms, while responsibilities diminish them as the people are forced to behave toward nature and society in a way that suits the community as a whole. “The society that knows” establishes the social relationship rules to reduce personal inconveniences and increase the collective conveniences to all. Such rules suit all members of society to the most significant extent possible.

 

Society has the same reactions to the relationship with nature as individuals. “The society that knows” forms natural needs within the limits of their natural power of realization and thus satisfies their needs and accomplishes the conveniences. 

 

One can say that the individual takes the roads of development of society during their lifetime. A child has neither knowledge nor the ability to meet their natural needs. The parents who know how to live following their nature are satisfied and develop a love for the child. They take over ongoing care for meeting the child’s natural needs. Such an attitude brings warmth and joy, which is a prerequisite for the prosperity of both the child and society. Such people who have not been deprived in their youth later become sound protagonists in society.   

 

“The individual who knows” brings benefits to themselves and society. Therefore, “the society that knows” is interested in having each member be familiar with the amount of knowledge they possess. “The society that knows” forms an impartial understanding of the laws of movements in nature and educates the young members on the rights, duties, and responsibilities for their wellbeing in society and nature. The young who see active and satisfied adult members of “the society that knows” form a belief in a convenient future and, therefore, accepts with pleasure the rights, duties and responsibilities of the community. “The society that knows” forms the education that follows the interest of the students and society. In this way, the act of education satisfies the needs and desires of the students and produces benefits for society.

 

The society meets its needs through work. “The society that knows” establishes its needs by mutual agreements, and then by the associated work meets the needs and in such a way accomplishes benefits. In “the society that knows,” each worker has an equal right to work in every work post, and the most productive interested worker gets the job. In this way, society reaches the most significant productivity and the highest values in production, while freedom in choosing jobs enables work to become a value for itself. 

 

“The society that knows” distributes work and labour results among workers to form balanced conveniences. Such an approach builds an equal interest of workers to perform every work. Such a social attitude toward work allows the coverage of all work posts with the workers who perform their jobs following their natural needs and abilities. 

 

Autonomous worker bears responsibility for their work by their work accomplishments. In associated labour, an irresponsible worker may inflict great inconveniences to the working collective because of the relation existing among the work processes. Therefore “the society that knows” forms the efficient principles of accountability for the workers who fail to perform the work obligations and for behaviour not suitable to society. Therefore, each member of such a society behaves responsibly toward nature, community, work, and work results. Being aware of their responsibility, they form the work needs following their nature and possibility of realization. Such an orientation is a precondition for satisfying needs and for the basis of a constructive orientation of society. 

 

In “the society that knows,” the products of collective work are distributed according to the contribution of everyone in the process of production. The work that produces a higher value brings greater conveniences to society and thus deserves a higher reward in the share of collective work products. The distribution of work results among the workers is also performed according to the degree of inconveniences that occur during the work. A more inconvenient work duty requires a higher compensation, and therefore it receives a higher share in the distribution of the conveniences coming from the result of work. In the distribution of produced goods, the contribution of workers’ ancestors should be counted because each result of work contains a vast quantity of past labour. 

 

“The society that knows” forms solidary distribution elements, which guarantee the existence of the entire population, regardless of whether they participate directly in the production. In this way, society develops an orientation that an individual is a value to an individual. Solidarity provides products intended for individual consumption to everyone who needs it. It establishes social stability and helps the development of new forces in society that reproduce such orientation.

 

A society that continually satisfies its needs is a satisfied, mighty, and noble society. A community with generous members necessarily helps each other and develops unity, bringing prosperity. It believes in its force and is confident in being able to reach conveniences. The consequence of such belief results in love appearing among the members of society, social equilibrium and harmony with nature. 

 

In such a society, each member helps the development of every individual, as in this way, they also contribute to their development. Giving is a source of manifestation of the power of being that brings great benefits. “The society that knows” ensures the reproduction of constructive orientation and can plan its development and prosperity. Such a society is a good society.

The Individual

 

1.1           Individual

 

The nature of individual

 

A human being is a part of nature. Nature contains an infinite quantity of matter charged with energy which creates an endless multitude of forces, actions and reactions, tensions and equilibriums. The nature of an individual is a living part of nature; they possess the sensory ability, thoughtfulness, and the ability to act consciously. By moving, nature creates sensorial advantages and disadvantages for the individual. The sensory difference between the advantages and disadvantages forms the individual’s needs.

 

The individual defines their needs through thoughts. Through thinking, the individual creates and accumulates the consciousness of the advantages and disadvantages of their relationships with nature. In different conditions, thoughts form different emotional states. When the state of nature does not suit an individual, it creates a sensory and emotional tension that concentrates energy towards finding an appropriate condition. 

 

Individual mostly meets their needs by conscious action. The intensity of their efforts depends directly on the degree of the disadvantages. Minor disadvantages induce small action energy, while significant obstacles that also bring into question their survival accumulate the entire individual’s strength in their struggle for survival. The process of activity lasts until the individual satisfies their needs.

 

Satisfaction of the needs brings advantages proportionate to the intensity of surpassed disadvantages. Advantages appear in the form of relaxation from the inconvenient tension and sensory and emotional fulfillment. This process results in saturation. The relation of the needs and saturation change periodically, with the intervals dependent on the nature of the needs. The period of saturation relieves the individual of their needs. 

 

The individual depends on nature; therefore, they are not entirely free. In its broadest sense, freedom represents a state of complete independence and does not allow the existence of needs, either. The individual with vital needs does not need freedom in the broadest sense. In a narrow sense, freedom should be a state that allows the satisfaction of needs because individuals who cannot meet their needs are not free. Such freedom is a condition for accomplishing the individual’s subsistence and developing their abilities, powers, and cognition. Therefore, the individual can and needs to have such freedom.  

 

Nature has unlimited power compared to the individual; however, thanks to their biological development, the individual adapts to the movements of nature and develops their abilities so that in normal, natural conditions, they can meet their genuine needs. As a result, the individual can be free. Their freedom is based on their ability to do what they want; however, such freedom depends on their cognition that they want what they can do. 

 

During their lifetime, the individual acquires many favourable and unfavourable sensory and emotional states arising from relations with nature. By controlling and arranging their reflective determinations regarding the sensory and emotional aspects of the life practice, they create knowledge. With knowledge, individuals develop notions of the conditions that bring them advantages and disadvantages. Knowledge formation is the individual’s most remarkable ability. Knowledge implies forming objective definitions of the laws of movements in nature, the definitions that under identical conditions form equal reactions irrespective of the degree of advantage or disadvantage that such definitions create for people. Objective definitions present the laws of the movements in nature as they are.  

 

Knowledge gives power to the individual to meet their needs through conscious and organized work. The individual opposes the disadvantages in nature with conscious work. With their work, individuals produce the means needed for their survival and create more significant advantages. The working ability gives the individual a high power in nature. 

 

Anything that creates benefits has its value. The individual accepts the value in cases where differences may exist between advantages and disadvantages, where needs are not satisfied or may not be satisfied. The value is proportional to needs. 

 

The work output has its value in use or natural value. The natural value of the products of labour meets the individual’s natural needs related to survival and living standards. The work brings advantages by itself to some extent so that it has some usable value as well. The individual’s bright future lies in finding a job that brings more benefits in its duration because, in that way, the individual reaches more existential conveniences. As a general rule, such conveniences last longer and may also be more intensive than the conveniences arising from consuming work results. 

 

By using knowledge, the individual defines the rightness of movements in nature, and the more deeply they reveal them, the more broadly they can apply their regularity. Knowledge gives the individual the power that is, in its form, unlimited to nature. The more individuals develop understanding, the higher the needs they can create and meet, and the more control over the conditions forming their sensory and emotional states. “The individual who knows” can discover and build their progressive orientations, live in harmony with their nature, rely on their forces, and believe in their power and themselves. Such an individual can understand their relationship with nature, develop love with nature, develop a constructive relationship with nature, and find pleasure in connection with nature. Such an individual necessarily lives in harmony with nature.

 

The more individual knows, the more they meet their natural needs, the more balanced they are, the more they believe in conveniences, the more optimism they build toward life, and the more relaxed, content, joyful they live. This is the presentation of an individual who lives a naturally productive life and, as such, can be easily recognized. 

 

Wisdom is the highest level of knowledge. It is acquired by the experience gained by healthy, natural living. The wise individual continually satisfies their natural needs and therefore experiences significant satisfaction. They have everything they need, irrespective of the quantity and quality, and consequently, they are satisfied. A satisfied person is a good person. This simple claim is so significant for the development of humanism that it should be accepted as the natural law of human beings.

 

By overcoming the inconveniences, the conveniences also lose importance. In other words, when differences between the possible conveniences and inconveniences get smaller, the needs also get smaller. Therefore, the more the individual knows, the less need they have, which means that by living, they come closer to freedom in its broadest sense.
