The Freedom Doctrine – The Architecture for Global Freedom
For scientists,
freedom is a function of our response repertoires: the more responses,
the more freedom. Indeed, without the responses, we cannot even discriminate
the opportunity for their use.
For the possibilities
scientists, freedom is a function of our repertoires of processing, or
thinking, responses: the more thinking responses, the more freedom. With
these processing responses, we can generate our own degrees of freedom.
Our processing-response
repertoires are thus critical to freedom, and freedom is critical to them:
- They define
our ability to relate freely to all experiences, people, and even nations-our
social freedom!
- They
require a free market environment to which we may apply them freely-our
economic freedom!
- They
require the political power to use them freely-our political
freedom!
Essentially,
freedom is found in our ability to think and to generate new and more
productive responses to the changing conditions of our times in socially,
economically, and politically free environments!
Just as we
produce free individuals by empowering them with free thinking responses,
so do we produce free nations by empowering them with free processing
responses. For nations and cultures, these responses have to do with the
development of freedom's resources:
- Socially
empowered responses that enable cultural relating;
- Economically
empowered responses that enable economic enterprise;
- Politically
empowered responses that enable supportive governance.
In short,
the empowerment of freedom's resources provides the conditions for empowering
and freeing individuals as well as cultures and nations.
In Table
1, we may view The Freedom Doctrine. The Freedom Architecture
that guides the development of The Freedom Doctrine will
be presented in this body of work.
| Table
1. The Freedom Doctrine |
| I.
|
To
lead freely by relating, empowering, and freeing all peoples
dedicated to participating in our integrated and elevated global
society; |
| II. |
To relate freely and interdependently with all cultures dedicated
to growing in our global society; |
| III. |
To trade freely and reciprocally in a free enterprise marketplace
dedicated to mutual growth in our global society; |
| IV. |
To govern freely and democratically within, between, and among
all nations in our global society; |
| V. |
To empower our communities freely to generate all forms of new
capital in order to produce a spiraling array of products, services,
and solutions that benefit all humankind. |
|
| The
book, itself, is divided into four main sections: |
| I. |
Introduction
and Overview. This section focuses on the processing
systems that constitute the scientific methods at the foundation of
all freedom and, thus, all civilization. |
| II. |
The
New Capital Development Systems. These are the systems
that empower us to accomplish any human vision. They are the generating
engine for Freedom-Building. |
| III. |
The
Freedom-Building Systems. These define the ingredients
for building free peoples and nations in the 21st Century. |
| IV. |
Summary
and Transition. This section presents The Freedom
Doctrine, which prescribes the architecture for global freedom
in the 21st Century. |
Eager readers
may skip ahead to Chapter 13, which provides more detailed information
on The Freedom Doctrine. They may then go back and fill
in their understanding of the ingredients necessary for elevating and
integrating civilization in the 21st century.
The global
need for The Freedom Doctrine is well illustrated in
Figure 1; this figure also points to a basic thesis of this work-that
we can define freedom and assess its effects on performance. As may be
viewed, Free Nations perform significantly different
than Unfree Nations on all indices of performance:
- Cultural
Relating
-
Economic Prosperity
-
Supportive Governance
Figure 1. The Performance Curves of Free and Unfree Nations
The curves
themselves represent separate and distinct categories of nations. Free
Nations are culturally relating, economically prosperous, and
governmentally supportive. In short, Free Nations are
"free": culturally, economically, governmentally.
Unfree Nations are simply not free! There is
no overlap between the curves!
Other nations
should have no conflict in choosing their future directions. This is not
a philosophical discussion. The Freedom Doctrine is there
for all to study and observe.
