Declaration of Earthlings
Preamble
We, the people of the planet Earth, unite to form a new nation — Earthlings. We recognize that humanity faces global challenges requiring both new thinking and significant efforts. Overcoming our differences and creating a common platform for collaborative actions is not an easy path, and we understand it may take years. We proclaim this Declaration for present and future generations as a guide and historic opportunity for further cooperation and development. This initiative aims for practical change rather than building an idealized society. The Earthling approach is about striving for achievable goals that take into account the real conditions and complexities of the surrounding world.
Principles
1.Global Interconnection
We acknowledge that all people are interconnected with each other and the planet. In the modern world, each person's actions can affect the lives of others, regardless of their location. Any threat to humanity is a shared problem that requires collective action.
2.Responsibility for the Future
Every generation must be aware of its responsibility towards future generations. We understand that meaningful changes in the economy, social systems, and ecology require consistent work and flexibility. Implementing our principles will be gradual and focused on long-term results.
3.Technological Ethics
We aim for the development of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, genetic technologies, and other advancements to consider the interests of humanity. We recognize that implementing ethical standards on a global scale requires careful preparation and gradual integration. Therefore, we will start with private initiatives and agreements that will help build trust in our model.
4.Supremacy of Nature
Nature is the source of life, and its preservation is one of humanity's top priorities. We act with an understanding of the limits of natural resources and a commitment to conserve them.
5.Solidarity
We assert that there should be no division of people based on origin, race, gender, religion, or political views. The whole planet is a single people united by a common fate.
Goals
1.Creating a Global Community
We strive to create a community united by the desire for peace and sustainable development. We will start by bringing together those who share our values, acting through projects and partnerships to address pressing issues.
2.Eco-Centric Economy
We propose a transition to an economy that considers the ecological limits of the planet. We will begin with pilot projects that allow us to assess results and develop approaches for sustainable resource use.
3.Eliminating Technological Discrimination
We believe everyone should have equal access to technology. We will start by creating local initiatives that promote technological accessibility and support. These initiatives will include training programs, access to online resources, and collaboration with educational institutions to ensure access to necessary knowledge and skills.
4.Universal Basic Income
We recognize the need to meet the basic needs of every person, which is the foundation for achieving sustainable well-being. Participation in local programs and partnerships will create conditions where people can feel dignified without struggling for survival. This will allow for the redistribution of resources from less necessary expenses to support those in need, ensuring financial stability and confidence for the future.
5.A World Without Wars
Historically, many wars have been initiated due to ineffective leadership and disagreements between nations, as well as a lack of compromise ability. Research shows that politicians often use conflicts to achieve their goals, whether maintaining power, strengthening nationalism, or diverting attention from internal issues.
Initiative and active citizen participation in the negotiation process and conflict prevention can lead to more peaceful coexistence. Our goal is to create conditions for international cooperation where nations can openly discuss and find solutions to prevent violence. We strive to form global and digital platforms that will promote open discussions and mutual understanding, breaking down barriers that lead to conflict. We express our commitment to a peace based on respect and understanding rather than violence and confrontation.
6.Protecting Mental Health
We acknowledge that mental health and psychological well-being play a key role in the well-being of every individual. Stress, anxiety, and other mental pressures can negatively impact the lives and functioning of society. Our goal is to create and implement programs aimed at preventing mental illnesses, supporting psychological well-being, and raising awareness of the importance of mental health.
International Recognition of Earthlings
We view the international recognition of Earthlings not as an immediate goal but as a process aimed at gradual engagement and gaining the trust of international organizations and countries. We understand this requires significant effort and patience, and we allow for the possibility of partial recognition and cooperation at certain levels until full international recognition becomes possible.
Rationale for the Importance of International Recognition
1.Legitimization of Status
International recognition will grant the Earthling movement legal and political legitimacy, enabling participation in global negotiations and facilitating interaction with international institutions. However, we also recognize that some goals can be achieved through private partnerships, local initiatives, and network alliances, providing our platform with flexibility and adaptability in a changing world.
2.Legal Protection and Rights of Earthlings
Recognition will create protected legal frameworks for community members and enable us to represent our interests in international courts and organizations. This will allow us to defend the interests of Earthlings and strengthen engagement with the global community.
3.Participation in Global Governance
As a people, we intend to participate in global forums and organizations, which is essential for addressing climate, security, and technological risks. Initially, this can be implemented through local and international partnerships and alliances to contribute to solutions for global challenges based on shared human interests.
4.Creating International Agreements and Cooperation
International recognition will allow us to establish agreements with governments and organizations, building legal and economic mechanisms for the implementation of our projects and initiatives. By starting with private partnerships and local agreements, we hope to create a platform for broad cooperation.
5.Economic Interaction
Recognition will enable Earthlings to develop an economy based on an internal currency, such as Earthling, and integrate into the global economy. We understand that the integration process will be gradual and require effective and flexible solutions.
6.Protecting Cultural Heritage and Values of Earthlings
Recognition will help protect our cultural values and unique approaches, allowing us to preserve our identity on international platforms like UNESCO.
Actions
1.Energy Transition

Ecocentric Economy: A Key Aspect of Sustainable DevelopmentThe concept of an ecocentric economy is a crucial component of sustainable development, focusing on creating a system that respects the planet's ecological boundaries and seeks harmony between economic growth and environmental protection.
1.Understanding Ecocentric Economy:
The ecocentric economy represents a transformation of the traditional economic model, which is based on constant growth and consumption, into a model that integrates ecological and social considerations. This new paradigm acknowledges that economic activities must remain within the planet's capacity, emphasizing ecosystem preservation, biodiversity protection, and efficient resource use.
2.Key Principles:
The main principles of an ecocentric economy include:
·Reducing Pollution: This involves shifting to clean technologies, minimizing waste, and using recyclable or reusable materials.
·Biodiversity Conservation: Sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystem protection are vital for preserving all forms of life on Earth.
·Sustainable Resource Use: Adopting "circular economy" principles in production and consumption, where products and materials are used as efficiently as possible, minimizing waste.
3.Practical Applications:
In practice, an ecocentric economy can be realized through:
·Green Technologies: The use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, and technologies aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
·Ecological Agriculture: Shifting to sustainable farming methods that minimize environmental impact and promote biodiversity.
·Circular Economy: Designing products with their entire life cycle in mind, allowing for waste reduction and material reuse.
4.Policy and Legislation:
To implement an ecocentric economy, political and legislative frameworks need to be reformed. This might involve:
·Business Incentives: Governments can provide tax breaks and grants to companies that adopt environmentally friendly technologies and practices.
·Environmental Protection Legislation: Stricter pollution standards and biodiversity protection measures will help ensure compliance with ecological norms.
5.Education and Public Awareness:
Raising awareness and educational initiatives are also key. Society needs to be informed about the importance of transitioning to an ecocentric economy and how each of us can contribute through conscious consumption and supporting sustainable practices.
6.Global Cooperation:
Transitioning to an ecocentric economy requires global cooperation. International agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement lay the foundation for countries to work together to reduce carbon emissions and adapt to climate change. Knowledge and technology exchange between nations will also accelerate this transition.
An ecocentric economy is a necessary step toward ensuring a sustainable future for our planet. It requires a holistic approach that encompasses environmental, economic, and social aspects, aiming to create a balance between economic development and environmental protection. This transition will not only improve the quality of life but also ensure a secure future for the next generations.
For a deeper understanding of the ecocentric economy, you can explore resources like the International Institute for Sustainable Development and the World Resources Institute.

Elimination of Technological Discrimination
1.Understanding Technological Discrimination:
Technological discrimination occurs when certain groups of people have limited access to technology or digital resources, exacerbating social inequality. This can manifest in various ways, such as the lack of access to the internet, educational programs, healthcare services, and other resources that rely on modern technology. As a result, these groups find themselves at a disadvantage compared to those with access to advanced technologies.
2.Internet Access Issues:
Access to the internet is essential for participating in modern society, particularly in education and healthcare. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), around 2.9 billion people globally still do not have access to the internet, limiting their opportunities to gain information and engage in the digital economy. This issue is particularly pressing in developing countries, where infrastructure is underdeveloped, and access to technology is restricted.
3.Education and Technological Discrimination:
In education, access to modern educational technologies is critically important. Students from low-income families often cannot afford necessary devices or internet access, putting them at a disadvantage compared to their wealthier peers. This can exacerbate the gap in educational outcomes and opportunities for future learning and employment. Solutions may include:
·Programs offering free or subsidized devices.
·Initiatives to expand access to Wi-Fi in public spaces such as libraries and schools.
·Online courses and resources available in multiple languages and for different skill levels.
4.Healthcare Technologies:
Modern healthcare technologies, including telemedicine, electronic medical records, and online access to medical information, can significantly improve service quality. However, groups lacking access to these technologies risk being deprived of necessary healthcare services. For example, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, access to telemedicine can dramatically reduce the distance between patients and doctors, especially in remote and rural areas. Key steps to address this issue could include:
·Developing telemedicine programs specifically targeting vulnerable populations.
·Raising awareness of available medical technologies and their benefits.
·Training healthcare workers to use new technologies to enhance patient care.
5.Government and Social Initiatives:
Eliminating technological discrimination requires active participation from governments and society. This may include:
·Developing policies aimed at reducing the digital divide and ensuring equal access to technology.
·Collaborating with the private sector to create programs that offer access to technology and training.
·Forming partnerships with non-governmental organizations to implement initiatives aimed at increasing awareness and accessibility of technology.
6.The Role of Businesses:
Private companies also play a significant role in addressing technological discrimination. They can:
·Provide access to technology at discounted rates or for free to vulnerable groups.
·Invest in infrastructure development in underserved regions.
·Participate in educational programs and initiatives to train users on new technologies.
Conclusion:
Eliminating technological discrimination is an important task that requires collective efforts from governments, businesses, and society. Equal access to technology not only promotes social equality but also ensures sustainable development and progress for society as a whole. It is crucial that every person, regardless of their location, status, or financial situation, has the opportunity to benefit from new technologies to improve their quality of life.

Universal Basic Income (UBI)
Definition:
Universal Basic Income (UBI) is the concept where the state provides all citizens with regular, unconditional cash payments, regardless of their financial status or employment activity. Despite criticisms, this approach has many promising aspects that can be justified and validated.
Benefits of UBI
1.Reducing Poverty and Inequality:
UBI can significantly reduce poverty levels by providing financial security. Research indicates that such programs can improve the living conditions of vulnerable groups and reduce economic inequality.
2.Support Amid Automation:
With increasing automation and job displacement, UBI could become a crucial tool to support those who lose jobs due to technological advances. It provides people with the opportunity to adapt to new conditions, potentially retrain or engage in entrepreneurship.
3.Improving Mental Health and Public Well-being:
UBI can reduce stress and anxiety by ensuring financial stability, which in turn can improve the overall quality of life and enhance public welfare.
Necessity of UBI1.Economic Shifts:
With the global economy changing and job instability growing due to globalization and technology, UBI could become essential for ensuring social security, especially during economic crises and labor market transformations.
2.Social Justice:
UBI can contribute to social justice by ensuring a minimum income for everyone, which can, in turn, support economic activity and create a more equitable society.
Justification for UBI1.Financial Sustainability:
Studies show that UBI can be financially sustainable in the long run. For instance, funding models through wealth taxes or automation taxes indicate that such approaches can provide the necessary funding for the program.
2.Existing Program Experiences:
Experiments with UBI in countries like Finland, Canada, and some parts of the U.S. have shown positive results, including improved health, higher employment levels, and enhanced social well-being. These experiments offer real-life examples that support the concept of UBI.
UBI Implementation Opportunities1.Gradual Implementation:
Many experts suggest the gradual introduction of UBI, starting with pilot programs and local initiatives that can later be scaled up. This would allow the system to be tested and adjusted as needed.
2.Integration with Other Social Programs:
UBI can be integrated with existing social programs, ensuring more efficient resource allocation and maximizing social benefits. This could reduce bureaucracy and simplify the process of receiving assistance for citizens.
3.Technological Development:
With the development of technologies like blockchain and digital currencies, UBI implementation can become more accessible and efficient, reducing administrative costs and improving the transparency of payments.
Criticism of UBI and Responses1.People Don't Lose Motivation:
Studies show that people receiving UBI do not lose motivation to work. For example, in Finland's 2017-2018 experiment, 2,000 randomly selected unemployed individuals received €560 per month. Results showed that participants not only maintained interest in work but also explored new forms of employment, demonstrating that financial support can foster entrepreneurship and the pursuit of new opportunities.
2.Experience from Other Countries:
In other countries, positive results have also been observed. For example, Canada’s 1970s "Mincome" guaranteed income program showed that employment levels among participants did not decrease. On the contrary, improvements in health and education were noted, indicating that UBI can support activity and personal development.
3.The "Couch Society" Myth:
Comparisons to experiments like "Universe 25," where mice fell into social collapse, are not entirely applicable to humans. People are not only biological beings but also social, with more complex motivations and a desire for personal development. Studies show that even with basic income, many people use the funds to improve their quality of life, pursue education, health, and active participation in society.
4.Real-Life Examples:
Real-life UBI implementations in some cities have shown that funding basic needs can stimulate people to actively participate in society. For example, in Machu Picchu, Peru, a basic income initiative improved the lives of local residents, increasing education levels and reducing crime rates.
Despite existing controversies and concerns, UBI represents a promising approach to addressing modern social and economic challenges. Its implementation requires deep analysis and testing, but if successfully introduced, it could significantly improve people's lives.
Rather than leading to degradation, UBI could become a powerful tool for improving quality of life, health, and people's motivation. It provides financial security, allowing people to focus on personal development and social initiatives rather than mere survival.

Example: The platform, using blockchain technologies, can track donations and their use for specific projects. For instance, smart contracts can guarantee that funds will be used exclusively for their intended purpose.
Thus, the Platform for Addressing Global Issues will create a unique ecosystem for coordinating the efforts of all humanity in response to new challenges. It will aim to unite both individual and collective efforts to create a sustainable future for all inhabitants of the planet.
