Homonism
If there is one rule for life, then it is:
Change “u” and “a” with “o”; Change Humanism for Homonism.
The Individual disappears in humanism. Humanity and collective rights are the final goals, the individual being a mere means to achieve a humanistic higher goal. How to attain individual primacy over collective through homonism? Mere lexical change changes nothing. Homonism tackles both know-what and know-how of such a change.
Life is complex. Digital rules like a computer program cannot prescribe it. It is driven by genetic and memetic co-evolution. Memes are the primary constituency of the symbolic human world. Humans as symbolic beings live only as much as we constantly interpret and reinterpret symbols. Symbolic interpretation and reinterpretation are sensemaking activities. Homonism helps readers to enter this symbolic world, to become human.
There are concepts like individualism, egoism, sustainability, economy, freedom, equality, responsibility, liberal, progressive, conservative, left, right and many others that have been seriously misused significantly in the last century. Homonism reinterprets each of them in constant dialogue, one with another. Symbols can only play in harmony one with another. The harmony produced by polyphony in this book is called Homonism.
An individual is not a blank slate into which any kind of practical rules could be inscribed. It is only you that lives your life. It is your experience only to absorb what is proposed in this book as your unique practical experience. Should this practical experience be the same as mine, it would mean we live in a world of humanism. Since it is not, here is the chance to understand what you are really living in: homonism.
