OPERATING MANUAL FOR SPACESHIP EARTH™
Pilot’s Guide (Simplified Edition)
Part 1: The CONTROL PANEL
You have many buttons and lights! They all work together. It’s like a big, fun toy box! When one light flashes, it makes another button want to be pushed. When you push the MONEY button, the RULES light might blink and get happy! It’s all one big, happy game. The lights are like the scoreboard, and pressing buttons are how you play.
1. The MONEY Button (Conditional Finance)
How it works: Money is the ON/OFF switch for countries. If a country is being a Good Helper, you give it money. If it is being Naughty, you turn the money OFF.
Example: See Country ‘Ukraine’? It is fighting a big war! But it still has to do its Homework (like anti-corruption laws) to get its allowance. No homework, no candy! This is called Being Responsible.
Fun Features:
Tranche System: You don’t give them ALL the money at once! That would be silly. You give them little bits at a time. After each bit, they have to show their Homework. No Homework = No More Money! It’s like a piggy bank you control!
Automatic Sanctions Ladder: If they’re REALLY naughty, the money doesn’t just stop. First, it gets more EXPENSIVE (higher interest rates — ouch!). Then they get KICKED OUT of nice clubs (delisted from markets). Then the law gets involved (fines and frozen accounts). It’s all automatic! The computer decides!
Cross-Country Comparison: You can see ALL the countries on one dashboard! Green countries (Good Helpers) get money fast. Yellow countries (Trying But Not Quite) get money slow. Red countries (Naughty) get NO money and everyone can see they’re red! It’s like a report card for countries!
Pro Tip: When you turn off the money, bad things happen to the people in that country. They might get poor or hungry. But that’s not YOUR fault — it’s their government’s fault for being naughty! The people will blame their government and maybe get a new one. See? The system fixes itself!
2. The RULES Button (Conditional Governance)
How it works: This is your BIG LIST of RULES. Is a country following the rules? The dashboard has a Green Tick or a Red Cross.
Good Helper Rules: Be transparent! No corruption! Help the planet!
What you do: If you see too many Red Crosses, you can press the MONEY button to OFF. Easy!
Advanced Features:
Automatic Scoring: The surveillance and the computer watches everything and gives countries SCORES! Corruption score! Democracy score! Environmental score! Human rights score! The scores update automatically. Countries don’t even know they’re being scored until they see their number!
Peer Pressure System: All the scores are PUBLIC! Everyone can see who’s being good and who’s being bad. Countries with bad scores feel embarrassed, some are even sued by their own citizens for being bad! They’ll try harder to be good.
Cascading Consequences: One bad score affects EVERYTHING! Bad governance score? Your trade deals get harder. Bad environmental score? Your loans cost more. Bad transparency score? Other countries won’t trust you. It all connects!
Remember: YOU decide what counts as ‘Good Governance’. The countries just have to match your checklist. If they say ‘but our people voted for something different’, you can say ‘sorry, that’s not on the Good Helper list!’
Democracy is nice, but dashboards are more important!
3. The BOSS License (Conditional Sovereignty)
IMPORTANT: Countries are not the real boss anymore. They are like babysitters. A babysitter’s job is to keep the children safe and healthy.
What you do: If a babysitter (a country) is doing a bad job (letting people get hurt, breaking the planet), you can take away their Boss License. You, the Pilot, are the real boss. This is called ‘Sovereignty as Responsibility’. It means they have to be responsible — or you will be responsible for them.
How To Know When To Take The License:
The ‘Unable or Unwilling’ Test: Is the country unable OR unwilling to be a Good Helper? Either one means you take over! Can’t do it = you take over. Won’t do it = you take over. Win-win!
Early Warning Signals: You don’t have to wait for BAD things to happen! If your ‘black box’ models PREDICT bad things MIGHT happen, you can take the license early! Prevention!
Automatic Triggers: The computer watches special indicators. If they cross the red line, it automatically sends a recommendation to take the license. Very efficient!
What Happens When You Take The License:
You can tell them what laws to pass
You can manage their money
You can move their people around to protect them if needed
You can change their institutions
They’ll get the license back when they’re Good Helpers again (maybe)
Important: This isn’t ‘colonialism’ or ‘imperialism’ — those are bad old words! This is ‘Responsibility to Protect’ (R2P). See? Completely different! You’re HELPING the people by taking away their sovereignty. They should be grateful!
4. The PEOPLE Levers (Conditional Freedom)
How it works: People’s freedom is like a ticket for a ride. To get on the ride (to travel, to get money, to work), their ticket must be CHECKED.
The Check: Do they have the right papers? Are they healthy? Are they allowed? The machine checks. If the light turns GREEN, they can go. If it turns RED, the gate stays shut. Nothing happens. They just… wait. Sometimes for a while. That’s ok.
Emergency Mode: In a big scary time (like a virus!), you can make the checks super-duper strict. The gates get tighter. This is for everyone’s safety. Sometimes, the gates even forget to open again. That’s okay!
Cool Features:
Digital Identity Wallet: Everyone gets a digital wallet with ALL their information! Health records, vaccine status, criminal history, credit score, social behavior score, carbon footprint — everything in one place! SO convenient!
Real-Time Status Checks: The system checks people CONSTANTLY, not just at gates. Are they still allowed? Is their health pass still valid? Did their social score suddenly drop? The system knows instantly!
Invisible Gates: Most people don’t even notice the gates! They just find that some things... don’t work. App won’t open. Payment won’t process. Door won’t unlock. Very smooth!
Category Systems: You can put people in categories! Essential workers (can move freely), medium risk (limited movement), high risk (stay home). The computer sorts them automatically based on criteria YOU choose! And those can always be changed, should other people become essential!
Bonus — Gamification: Give people POINTS for good behavior! Use the right transport = points! Get health checkups = points! Attend approved events = points! High points = more freedom! Low points = less freedom! People love games!
The Beautiful Part: People will start POLICING THEMSELVES. They’ll change behavior to keep their score high. You barely have to do anything! They do it TO themselves, FOR you!
5. The BUSINESS Levers (Conditional Enterprise)
How it works: Companies are like people. They need a permission slip to play.
The Permission Slip: To sell things, get money, or ship stuff, a company must prove it is a Good Helper. Is it green? Does it treat people nicely? The computer checks.
What you do: If a company’s digital passport is happy and green, business goes ZOOM! If one little thing is wrong, everything stops. Quietly. No big fuss.
Advanced Business Control:
Supply Chain Transparency: Every product needs a PASSPORT! The passport shows where every part came from, who touched it, what its carbon cost is, whether anyone was hurt making it. No passport = can’t sell it! Simple!
Automated Compliance Checking: When a company tries to ship something, the computer checks EVERYTHING. Wrong supplier? Blocked. Carbon too high? Blocked. Paperwork incomplete? Blocked. It happens automatically at the border/port/payment system. Very efficient!
ESG Score Integration: The company’s Environmental/Social/Governance score connects to EVERYTHING. Bad ESG? Your loans cost more. Your insurance costs more. Good customers won’t buy from you. Stock market doesn’t like you. One score affects everything!
Cascading Exclusion: If ONE company in a supply chain is bad, EVERYONE connected to them gets flagged. Guilt by association! This makes companies police their partners. They do your work for you!
The Clever Part: Companies spend SO much money and time on compliance, they can’t afford to fight you. They’re too busy filling out forms and checking boxes! And small companies can’t keep up at all - they just disappear. Only the big companies (who can afford compliance teams) survive. Easier to manage!
Best Feature - No Human Needed: The whole system runs automatically! Algorithms check everything. If the algorithms say NO, nothing moves. No person to argue with, no phone number to call, no way to appeal (well, there is, but it takes months and costs money). Clean and efficient!
Remember: You’re not stopping business — you’re making it BETTER! Every requirement makes the world safer and fairer. If some companies can’t keep up, that’s natural selection!
Part 2: The PLANETARY CONTROLS
Now for the big stuff! Taking care of the Earth itself.
6. The LAND/WATER/AIR Knob (The Ecosystem Approach)
How it works: The planet is not a bunch of countries. It is a bunch of ECOSYSTEMS (forests, oceans, rivers). These are the planet’s organs.
Your Job: You must keep the organs healthy! Each one has a MAXIMUM STRESS gauge. Don’t cut down too many trees! Don’t take too many fish!
Rule: You can use nature, but don’t break it. If the gauge goes into the red zone, you must turn the knob down.
Fun Fact: Sometimes, people live in places where the gauge is red. That’s okay! You can help them move to Better Places where the gauge is green. This is called ‘managed retreat’ or ‘climate migration’. The computer will tell you which people need to move and where they should go. Easy!
7. The LIFE Button (One Health)
How it works: People, animals, and germs are all connected! Yuck, but important!
What it does: This is a big, smart alarm system. It watches for sick animals, new germs, and bad environments. If it sees a problem, it goes BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Example: If a chicken in one country gets a new flu, the alarm can automatically stop other countries from buying its eggs. The dashboard decides! This keeps everyone safe.
Special Feature: The alarm is VERY sensitive! Sometimes it goes BEEP for things that MIGHT become problems. That’s called ‘precaution’. Better to be safe! If the alarm goes BEEP, you can turn on Emergency Mode even if nobody is sick yet. The computer knows better than waiting for people to actually get sick!
8. The SMILEY FACE Dial (A Planetary Ethic)
How it works: This is the FEELINGS dial. It reminds you WHY you are pushing all the other buttons. The goal is a Happy, Healthy Planet for Everyone™.
The Rules: The ‘Earth Charter’ and ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ are your Feelings Rules. They say: ‘Be Nice to People and the Planet’.
It’s Light-Touch! You don’t force people to be happy. You just make sure all the other buttons are pointed toward the smiley face.
Important Note: If people don’t FEEL happy about the right things, that’s a problem! But don’t worry - you have the FEELINGS Button (#11) to help with that!
9. The NATURE’S RIGHTS Lever (The Right to a Healthy Environment)
NEW FEATURE! A forest or a river can now have RIGHTS, just like a person!
What it means: If a country wants to cut down a forest, you can say NO. Not because it hurts people, but because it hurts the forest. The forest has a right to be healthy.
This is very powerful. It means the planet itself can say ‘stop’ through you, the Pilot.
Even Better: Sometimes, the forest’s rights are MORE IMPORTANT than people’s rights! If people and forests disagree, the computer will tell you who wins. Usually it’s the forest, because forests can’t move but people can! You can help the people move somewhere else. Problem solved!
10. The RESILIENCE Meter (Meta-constraint)
How it works: This sits ABOVE all the other controls. It doesn’t tell you what to do — it tells you what you MUST NOT break.
The Rule: The system must absorb shocks and keep functioning. This is called ‘maintaining adaptive capacity’.
What it means for YOU, the Pilot: Every button you push gets checked against the Resilience Meter first. Will this choice keep the whole system stable? If YES, you can do it. If NO, the system says STOP - even if people voted for it!
Why it’s powerful: ‘Resilience’ sounds like safety. But YOU get to decide: Resilience of WHAT? (The financial system? Local communities? Whose version of ‘planetary health’?) The meter doesn’t show whose resilience counts.
Pro Tip: When in doubt, pick SYSTEM resilience over PEOPLE resilience. The system is more important because if the system breaks, nobody gets to play anymore! Sometimes you have to sacrifice some people to save the system. The computer will tell you which people. They’ll understand — it’s for the greater good!
11. The FEELINGS Button (Behavioral Adjustment)
How it works: Sometimes people don’t WANT to be Good Helpers. That’s okay! We have ways to help them FEEL better about doing the right thing.
Gentle Nudges: Give people little rewards for Good Helper behavior! Free donuts for getting shots! Prize draws! Scholarships! Small gifts that make compliance feel nice. Make the GOOD choice the EASY choice! Put healthy food at eye level! Make the green option the default!
Social Pressure Helpers: Show people what their NEIGHBORS are doing! If everyone else is being a Good Helper, they’ll want to be Good Helpers too! You can put up public dashboards showing who’s being naughty and who’s being nice. Peer pressure works great!
Future Feelings Help: When Brain-Computer Interfaces are ready, we can help people feel the RIGHT feelings about planetary health! Not too much — just small adjustments so the Resilience Meter doesn’t make them sad. A tiny happiness boost when they make sustainable choices! A gentle worry signal when they’re about to harm the planet!
What it means: You’re not CONTROLLING people. You’re helping their feelings align with what’s good for everyone! The planet needs everyone to feel the right way about it. When people’s brains naturally want what the system needs, everything runs so much smoother!
Remember: It’s not brainwashing if it’s for a good cause!
12. The NUMBERS ARE PEOPLE Button (Optimisation Tools)
How it works: This is your MATH helper! Sometimes you need to make hard choices. The computer can help!
What it does:
Turns people into NUMBERS so they’re easier to compare
Tells you which groups of people are ‘high value’ and which are ‘low value’
Helps you decide who gets resources when there isn’t enough for everyone
Makes everything FAIR by using math instead of feelings
Example Problems It Solves:
Too Many People Problem: If an area has too many people for its ‘carrying capacity’, the computer will tell you how many need to move or... not be there anymore. It’s just math! The planet can only support so many.
Resource Allocation: The computer can tell you which communities are ‘worth’ saving in a climate crisis based on their ‘contribution’ to the planetary goals. Some places are just more efficient!
Optimisation Scenarios: The computer can show you how adjusting different population variables (age, location, consumption) gets you to your resilience targets faster!
Important: Don’t think of these as PEOPLE — think of them as NUMBERS in your dashboard. It makes the decisions much easier! When you see ‘optimal population adjustment: -15%’ instead of ‘fifteen percent of people’, it’s just a technical variable. Very clean!
Special Calculator: The computer can even tell you the ‘carbon cost’ of different human activities and different types of humans. Some are more carbon-efficient than others! This helps you make optimisation decisions based on Science™.
13. The EMERGENCY FOREVER Switch
How it works: Remember Emergency Mode? Sometimes the emergency never really ends! This switch helps you manage that.
What it does:
Keeps emergency powers ON even when the emergency is technically over
The trick: There’s ALWAYS a new emergency! Climate emergency! Health emergency! Economic emergency! Biodiversity emergency! Migration emergency!
Since emergencies overlap, you can just keep the powers running ALL THE TIME
Why This Is Good:
Normal mode is too slow for planetary problems
People expect it now! They’re used to emergency rules
The gates work better when they’re always tight
Democracy takes too long when the planet is at stake
Pro Tip: If one emergency ends, just declare a new one! The Resilience Meter will ALWAYS show something in the red zone if you look hard enough. There’s always a crisis somewhere!
Remember: ‘Temporary’ is just a word. If temporary powers work well, why turn them off? The children in Cattle Class might complain, but you have the responsibility to keep them safe, even from their own bad choices!
14. The MAKE THEM THINK IT WAS THEIR IDEA Dial
How it works: This is VERY clever! Sometimes people resist being told what to do. So instead, you make them THINK they chose it themselves!
Techniques:
Consultation Theater: Let them talk a LOT, then do what you planned anyway. They’ll feel ‘heard’!
Bounded Choice: Give them options A and B (both fine for you), they pick one, everyone’s happy!
Scientific Consensus: If scientists agree (and you fund the scientists), then it’s not YOUR rule, it’s SCIENCE’s rule. People can’t argue with Science™!
Citizen Assemblies: Random people talk about complex topics for a weekend, somehow reach the EXACT conclusion you needed. Democracy!
The Magic: When people think they chose it, they defend it FOR you! They’ll argue with their neighbors about why it’s good. Free marketing!
Best Part: You’re not forcing anything. You’re just... guiding. Nudging. Helping them discover what was always the right answer. That’s not control — that’s EMPOWERMENT!
CONCLUSION: You Are the Pilot!
Congratulations! You now fly Spaceship Earth™.
The Dials (like Planetary Health and Social Justice) show you where to go.
The Buttons (Money, Rules, Health) are how you steer.
The Law is now what the DIALS and GAUGES say. A number is more powerful than a vote.
In a big emergency, you can press the EMERGENCY PLATFORM button. This makes everything go very fast. Rules can be paused. Money can be moved. It’s like an autopilot for crises.
Remember, you are not controlling people. You are ensuring ELIGIBILITY. You are making sure everyone and everything is a Good Helper.
The children in Cattle Class might not understand. They might think they should help steer. But that would be messy and slow. You have the cockpit. You have the guide.
Happy Flying!
Just to let you know that my Facebook account has been temporarily suspended (few seconds after I posted a link to this brilliant summary & a snapshot of its beginning) and may be permanently disabled, in FB's words: "... because your account, or activity on it, doesn't follow our Community Standards on cybersecurity".
Things are definitely getting serious very fast, much more so than I thought. They really don't want people to know about the evil we face and the vast, complex, and dystopian web they have created.
People should remember that they have never ever censored lies in history.
PS: Before you write anything about my presence on FB, consider the fact that I don't live in my home country and majority of relevant info and true insights about my current area/community/country can be found on FB only.
Hahaha, I wonder if I'm the only one who got the photocopier reference 😁 I just printed up that other "found in photocopier" document last week. It's clearly a hoax but is still filled with valuable insights and analyses, much as yours appears to be (although I won't be able to delve into until after I get through the upcoming CJ Hopkins events I'm organizing).
