I propose this as a new Preamble of a society which seeks to found itself on pursuing only activities and thoughts and sciences concerned with the discovery of what it means to be a human being strapped to a rock, by some force we know not what but call gravity, floating in some thing/place we call the cosmos. Such a society would be founded with the revelation that knowing who and what we are inextricably precedes and informs action and also, therefore, any and all normative systems formed from such action. Such a society would be diametrically opposed to any other society whose precepts or latent, devolving philosophies allow for the valuation of resources so that they may be used as luxuries or accumulated into wealth.
A New Preamble
When, in the course of the culmination of knowledge concerning the human condition, it becomes necessary to dissolve all extant paradigms within the greater pool of identity-- all resources pulled from this Earth may be seen as best used for the augmentation of this identity-- a New Marker in history will be achieved. As Reason within individuals is compelled to see itself in scale with the 'Cosmos,' the borders of its paradigm will consequentially expand, in scale, with this new identity. As a widespread revelation, this will cause the current indoctrination to particular facts to no longer satisfy as the popular definition of the word: education. As it has been the case throughout human evolution, the rise of particular changes in the genome have made others non-competitive for sexual reproduction. Should our species make it far enough into the future, such changes will dictate our evolution over and over again; Especially as a new trait, our cognitive evolution should not be seen as exempt from this selection, irrespective of any illusion of certainty we now feel or have ever felt.
