THE HUMAN MANIFESTO
A General Plan For Human Survival
The Human Manifesto: A General Plan For Human Survival describes a radical belief and action system that provides the individual with genuine methods for the development of personal self-esteem. Equally important, the collective employment of that system will increase the quality of life for all men and enhance the prospects for survival of the species. The main problem for humanity has been that the LIEs fostered by past and present cultures have motivated humans to engage in destructive and trivial behaviors that have failed to enable the human species to reach its highest spiritual, intellectual and technological potential and thus leaves it vulnerable to extinction by natural or man-made cataclysm. What The Human Manifesto proposes is a rejection of the LIEs inspired by present cultural systems and replacing them with a "Genuine Hero System" based upon beliefs that sanctify the human species and promote a comprehensive examination of the existence of God. These methods will promote actions that increase the quality of life for other humans, enhance the survivability of the human species, and inspire a quest for the true nature of God and the Cosmos through spiritual, intellectual and scientific examination. Only by such radical change of viewpoint can mankind avoid what Ernest Becker feared was the ultimate destiny of the human species – doom. The Human Manifesto has been favorably reviewed by the Ernest Becker Foundation. You can read the review by Professor Daniel Liechy here:
Based upon the writings of Ernest Becker, primarily his 1973 Pulitzer Prize winning, "The Denial of Death," The Human Manifesto argues that we are socialized by family, teachers, friends and media to construct illusions – Life Immortality Elusions, or LIEs – that provides meaning and purpose to our lives in order to repress our awareness of the stark reality of death.
