Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About New World Humanism (NWH)

1. What is New World Humanism (NWH)?

New World Humanism (NWH) is a transformative proposal that calls for constitutional reforms to ensure equitable, sustainable, and independent human survival. It advocates for replacing the current monetary system with a time-based exchange system, where working time becomes the medium for accessing products and services (P&S). This system aligns human survival with the principles of time, ensuring fairness and sustainability for all.

2. Why is the current system flawed?

The current system relies on money as the medium of exchange, which is earned by investing working time in the production of P&S. This system:

  • Perpetuates inequality: Access to P&S is restricted to those who can afford them.

  • Exploits resources: Overproduction depletes natural resources and harms the environment.

  • Limits freedom: Individuals are trapped in a cycle of earning money to survive, restricting their ability to explore their full potential.

  • Fosters division: Ownership of resources and P&S creates societal fragmentation and conflict.

3. How does NWH propose to address these issues?

NWH proposes a time-based exchange system where:

  • Working time is recognized as the official medium of exchange.

  • P&S are accessed by exchanging the working time invested in their production.

  • Equitable distribution: Everyone receives P&S based on their contributions during their working years.

  • Sustainability: Resources are used responsibly, avoiding overproduction and environmental harm.

4. What are the Five Principles of Time for Human Survival?

The Five Principles of Time are:

  1. Co-Habitation: All age groups coexist in the same area or country.

  2. Integral Contribution: The elder generation provides P&S and education to the younger generation.

  3. Governance for Sustainability: Governments ensure the equitable production and distribution of P&S.

  4. Standardized Contribution: Each country mandates a specific amount of working time from its citizens.

  5. Working Time as the Medium of Exchange: Working time is credited, directly exchanged, and debited throughout an individual’s life.

5. How will NWH ensure equitable access to P&S?

Under NWH:

  • Childhood: P&S are provided without contribution, and working time is credited.

  • Working Age: Individuals contribute working time to produce P&S and access them directly.

  • Old Age: P&S are accessed based on past contributions, with working time debited.

This system ensures that everyone, regardless of age or background, has equitable access to P&S.

6. What are the benefits of NWH?

NWH offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Equality: Everyone has equal access to P&S based on their contributions.

  • Sustainability: Resources are used responsibly, reducing environmental harm.

  • Freedom: Individuals are liberated from the endless cycle of earning money.

  • Unity: Societal divisions based on wealth, race, gender, or nationality are eliminated.

  • Progress: Nation-building and human potential are prioritized over profit.

7. How will NWH be implemented?

NWH proposes a phased approach:

  1. Abolish monetary compensation for P&S: New-borns receive P&S without monetary exchange, and their working time is credited.

  2. Constitutional reforms: Governments amend constitutions to recognize working time as the medium of exchange.

  3. Global adoption: Nations collaborate to implement NWH, ensuring a unified and equitable system.

8. What challenges might arise during implementation?

Some potential challenges include:

  • Resistance to change: The current system is deeply entrenched, and some may resist transitioning to a new model.

  • Coordination: Global cooperation is required to implement NWH effectively.

  • Transition period: A gradual shift is necessary to ensure stability and fairness during the transition.

9. How does NWH address environmental concerns?

NWH promotes sustainable resource use by:

  • Eliminating overproduction driven by profit motives.

  • Reducing waste and pollution by aligning production with actual needs.

  • Protecting natural resources for future generations.

10. What role do governments play in NWH?

Governments are responsible for:

  • Amending constitutions to recognize working time as the medium of exchange.

  • Ensuring equitable distribution of P&S.

  • Supervising nation-building projects to meet the needs of all citizens.

  • Promoting sustainability and environmental protection.

11. How can individuals support NWH?

Individuals can support NWH by:

  • Spreading awareness: Educating others about the benefits of NWH.

  • Advocating for change: Encouraging governments to adopt constitutional reforms.

  • Participating in discussions: Sharing ideas and feedback to refine the NWH proposal.

12. Is NWH a utopian dream?

No, NWH is a practical and necessary path forward. It is based on the principles of time and addresses the root causes of humanity’s crises. By aligning human survival with these principles, NWH offers a realistic and achievable solution for a sustainable and equitable future.

13. What is the Final Appeal of NWH?

The Final Appeal calls for urgent action to:

  • Abolish the current flawed system.

  • Implement constitutional reforms to recognize working time as the medium of exchange.

  • Ensure equitable, sustainable, and independent survival for all.
