Rejected for the following reason(s):
everything starts with accepting reality and it is such that it seeks a way out for all of us, as a species. maybe we will save ourselves by uniting with the machine
maybe we will save ourselves by changing the genetic code. all of that stands as a maybe. I don't know.
I know that I would like to survive as a species in as little changed form as possible. I see the biggest obstacle to that in ourselves, in the audacity to put the ego and interests of individuals
above the priority of preserving the species. we lack focus as a community, as a group directed towards a goal.
guided by that, I tried to find a solution in ourselves, in focus, will... and faith in ourselves.
we have a consciousness that separates us from animals, so why not rise even higher. we have the potential.
the premises from which I started are the following:
demographic degradation.

degradation of spirit and moral values.

percentage of population living below the existential minimum.

growing economic inequality.

external and internal threat to the planet.

goal: preservation of the body, evolution of consciousness, expansion among the stars
the plan I came up with was inspired by everything I experienced in my life, the analog age, primary education, wars, hyperinflation, lack of basic living conditions.
I was lucky to be able to read at least, the library was working. we don't need a utopia where everyone has everything, we need everyone to have enough for a dignified existence.
we need a trench for the spirit, to be modest and humble, to strive for higher ideals. to strive for development and maintenance. we need guidance towards more important things.
I want to emphasize that the plan is based solely on ethical foundations.
The emphasis is on diversity, personal consent, and functional skills
I think I've reached my ultimate cognitive capacity and would like to ask you to test the logic and ethics of my plan.
Constructive criticism is more than welcome.
Plan Summary (5 points)
Foundational Covenant: Axiom — survival and evolution of the human species under procedural ethics; pre‑mortem verification of goals.
Structure: Decentralized, compartmentalized community, Base and Periphery with rotating roles and mandatory ethics oversight.
Filter & Formatrix: Selection of participants by ethical, genetic and functional criteria; AI mentor for education and monitoring
with “Guardian of Doubt” mechanisms and independent audits.
Resources and Defense: Ensuring basic needs for all; most resources go to the space program; energy from SMR source: https://world-nuclear.org/ solar and hydro
weapons exclusively for defense.
Rights and Boundaries: Inalienable rights (life, bodily integrity, prohibition of torture, fair trial, prohibition of discrimination)
minimal data collection and an anonymous Exit Node for reporting ethical violations.
I will walk you through a few key steps
1 — Dusan’s Code 2.0 (Procedural Ethics)
-Introduce a mandatory ethical pre-filter for all decisions and technologies; each target undergoes pre-mortem verification.
Ethics is no longer an instrumental addition, but a fundamental rule.
inspired by one of the most important laws of medieval Serbia, which was passed in 1349
its basic principle is that no one is above the law, not even the emperor.
it guarantees that means and ends remain consistent with universal moral principles and protect human rights.
2 — and a nanny so that our children can reach their full potential
-Increase cohesion, ethical consistency and skill development through personalized mentoring from early childhood.
Early and continuous education reduces the risk of ego-driven decisions and improves team behavior.
We are biased. especially when it comes to our own children.
3 — guardians of doubt and mandatory rotating roles of individuals
- Introduce mandatory, rotating skepticism that blocks ego-motivated decisions and prevents the concentration of power.
Systemic protection against abuse and group bias, all with the aim of strengthening the system and trust.
Step 4 — Transparent, time-bound publishing mechanism
- After establishing stable control, publicly publish key data and procedures with legal protections
the system must be built on trust. we hide nothing, we do not work behind anyone's back. let's move forward together, towards the goal.
this is a brief overview of the steps that I believe are necessary.
in the link that leads to github you can also see the implementation phases, more elaborate steps and some of the things that must not be questioned
We expressly reject racial, ethnic or biological discrimination; all selections are transparent, based on consent and independently reviewed."
