04 · The idea

Give respect,
get respect.

It’s really not all that complicated.

Without respect, there is no love, no trust, no honesty, and no progress in our human endeavor.

Why it matters now

We have evolved into nearly android primates, controlled by algorithms through the smart phones we hold in our hands 24/7.

Do we all really want to become Commander Spock, C-3PO or R2-D2?
I don’t think so.

What this site will become

This website is permanently under construction, since it will eventually work like a news forum with a firewall like a Substack application.

This firewall is intended to maintain the integrity and quality of its debates for years to come.

The subject of its discussion will be the human condition in the 21st century in retrospect all the way of our ancestors harnessing fire about two million years ago in Africa.

The pages will come in many languages. Each debate will be held in one language: English or Portuguese, German or French, or any other.

The first question

What does respect mean to you?

A call for moderators

The debates will need moderators: chaplains, psychologists, neuroscientists, sociologists, and others able to take on specific questions.

Wear it

T-shirts, hoodies, fleece vests and baseball caps. Coming soon.
