Emberi

Mission: Changing the system within which humans live, to improve their condition and protect our world.

From www.ic.org/directory/emberi/:

We seek to CHANGE THE SYSTEM.

We believe that the single biggest problem in existence today is GREED.

Emberi ("EM-bur-ee") is a Hungarian word meaning "the condition of being human". Right now, the Human Community of Emberi exists only online, but at some point it will have to become established physically.

We seek people who are dissatisfied with the way the system works - people who have a deep and well-thought-out desire to change the system, and the world. The Emberish system will inevitably become the way of the world sometime whether we make it happen or not - the only question is, will the transition be smooth or will it cause the eradication of most of the human race?

We seek to make it a smooth transition. The current system is responsible for all of the negativity experienced by humans of all types, and it is untenable. Someday the non-renewable resources we currently call "wealth" will run out, and the system as we know it will cease to operate. If this transition occurs abruptly, which will happen if change is not started now, most of the human race will die - either from starvation or from the widespread pandemonium that will erupt as soon as people become aware that they won't be able to obtain food easily.

We operate by the Four Emberish Principles:

PRINCIPLE 1 (The Preservation of Humanity Principle): Do nothing to any other person, directly or indirectly, which causes that person undesired harm or negativity.

(This Principle is ABSOLUTELY never to be violated unless your very survival depends upon violating it in an emergency situation, even if preserving it means you violate other Principles. They are all subordinate to Principle 1.)

PRINCIPLE 2 (The Golden Rule Principle): Treat other people in the same way in which you would want to be treated if you were in their exact same situation.

PRINCIPLE 3 (The Communal Living Principle): Contribute to Emberi according to your ability, and take from Emberi only as much as you need.

PRINCIPLE 4 (The Goodness of Humanity Principle): All humans are to be considered GOOD by nature and treated as such.

(When they do "bad", which nearly all people do today, it's because of having been programmed badly by the current system, which Emberi seeks to change and will eventually change.)

The only acceptable violations of any of these Principles will be due to complete accident or unintentional oversight.

We seek people who are passionate about changing the system, to join us and help us cement the system that will be best for all humans going forward. Find our Facebook group and join up there, to be part of the discussion about the best way to improve the condition of humanity going forward.
