Quantum Obligation

It has been a while since my last post.  I will not waste time writing frivolous prose or ideas that lack meaning and impact.

This area is entirely devoted to words and thoughts that "...make a difference..."

A while back I began my trek to compile the essential elements of the 21st century philosophy.  Those foundational precepts that when followed while aid in making this world better...(isn't this the role of a philosopher?)

I am uniquely blessed with a few individuals that exchange thoughts with me on a daily basis, challenge my position and (in their own way) guide this foundational path...

One such discussion has grown into a comprehensive philosophy...I call it "Quantum Obligation."

Although on outward appearance it may seem new...it has its DNA deeply rooted in the concepts of social obligation, existentialism and believe it or not hedonism!

The 21st century is so "me" oriented that all but a rare few individuals are looking much higher (on Maslow's hierarchy) than the survival level...What I am saying is...the human race is finding itself in a survival mode (whether they realize it or not).  Believing that they are consistently at a higher level is self-deception.

There are no "grand unification" philosophies!  Each "scheme" relates to a segment of the human society.  The prevalent philosophy is simply that which appeals to the largest group.

Quantum Obligation does not fall into this category...yet...

What is Quantum Obligation?

Simply stated...it is the responsibility to leave every "moment" (Quanta), at minimum, unscathed or better, for one's having been a participant in it.

In order for our species to survive we must realize that our futures are a sum total of the past and present moments.

What is a moment?

The single most important "word" within this philosophy is "moment."

A "moment" is not a fixed point in time.  It is an event with a specific entry point and exit point.  It is better described as an event.  Some moments may last milliseconds...while others may last a lifetime.

 A moment is a period of time in which the individual takes (receives) something and returns something, in exchange for being there.  It is a transaction...with an external investment, an internal benefit and a return to the investor for the initial investment...
