Introduction After long consideration and advice from my friends, I decided to introduce the idea of beginning the Wisdom Society in an urban setting. That by no means implies that I abandon the original idea of Wisdom Society as a self-sufficient egalitarian social structure, which has to have a sufficient amount of land to be […]

Poison of patriarchy
Introduction In the previous article about cars and trucks, I promised that I will write about the absurdities of stratification, but after some consideration, I decided to use instead of the word “poisons.” Absurdity seems too weak to express the damage of phenomena, which stratification created. One of them is patriarchy, History Patriarchy could […]
The absurds of stratification: cars and trucks | Part 2
Introduction The article became longer than expected, so following suggestions of my friends, who remind me to keep my posts as short as possible, decided to break it into two parts. Why has it happened? Now is the turn for a question: why has it all happened. There is one fundamental cause, which is the […]
The absurds of stratification: cars and trucks | Part 1
Introduction It is the first of the series of forthcoming articles describing absurdities of our world. I will write about their manifestation and how social and economic stratification produced them. Also, I will present some suggestions on how to avoid them, or at least reduce their effects. There are so many of them that discussing […]
Millenia of indoctrination
Introduction In this post, promised a long time ago, I will write about the development of stratification in Human society and its consequences, both physical and mental. By now, it is well known that the humans or Homo Sapiens, since its inception in the Paleolithic era, lived in small, egalitarian, matrilineal hunter/gatherers groups. The reasons […]
Beyond nucleus – wisdom village, town and more
Introduction Isolated nuclei would have a little chance to survive in the face of a violent world crisis. They depend on several services and products which they must acquire from the outside, such as medical care, electric energy supplementing local production, variety of equipment for everyday life, farming, etc. Consequently, Wisdom Society to succeed must […]

Relations of the wisdom nucleus with the natural environment
Introduction One of the most essential principles of Wisdom Society is preventing the ecological destruction of our planet. This article presents ways to incorporate this principle in the wisdom nucleus. We already mentioned some pertinent features of the nucleus: the members’ residence, agriculture, energy, natural environment and water. However, the nucleus goes beyond the non-destruction […]
The joy of daily life in Wisdom Nucleus | Part 3
Introduction In our present society daily life is divided among work and leisure, more or less adopted from some traditional religious views. On top of that, in more affluent countries, there is an allotted period for vacation, which varies from country to country, type of occupation, etc. We are accustomed to that and hardly question […]
The joy of daily life in Wisdom Nucleus | Part 2
Introduction We begin the continuation of the previous article with the description of work, in which some members of the nucleus would be involved. The qualification “some” is necessary because children and unable are excluded. However, there are kinds of work, which do not necessarily require physical strength and skills, so most of the adults […]
The joy of daily life in Wisdom Nucleus | Part 1
Introduction To provide a less generic description of living in a Wisdom nucleus, I decided to “imagine” it. Please note that here are presented only my personal suggestions, which do not have to be necessarily followed by real nuclei. However, since no nucleus exists now, it may be useful to create some idea about its […]
Eduction in Wisdom Nucleus
Introduction Learning is not only an ability applicable to a single individual. We may say that the totality of life continuously learns. We may view the evolution of life as a learning process. Some organisms produced by genetic modification survive, and others perish. In other words, we can say that species learned how to adapt […]
Pragmatics of establishing Wisdom Nucleus
Introduction Once a group of future members decided to form a new nucleus, they have to carefully examine the pragmatic aspects of its creation and functioning. One of the ways to do it is to define the key areas which have to be investigated. They definitely will include the place where the future nucleus would […]
Creation of a Wisdom nucleus
Introduction The creation of a new nucleus is not easy, particularly when it is not added to an already existing, developing village. It is even the greater challenge if it happens to be a pioneering nucleus in a country in which no nuclei have been formed. The reasons are straightforward because the already existing nuclei […]
Update of Vision
The page Vision has been updated. Since the time it was published nearly a year ago, the world situation has changed and is changing. The current explosion of COVID-19 pandemic and its difficult to preview consequences, make the necessity of introducing a radically different view of our world, even more, the urgent. That inspired me […]
