Ethics of scholar and peacemaker is incompatible with silence as disrespect. Dear Leo and Prof. Bruce Cook, I am writing to say weld one! It must have been a lot of hard-work to get to this point. Peace n' love, Ayo Sent from my iPad On May 15, 2014, at 4:49 PM, "Leo Semashko leo.semashko@xxxxxxxxx [peace-from-harmony]" <peace-from-harmony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear friends of GHA worldwide, I am happy to send you the two key chapters (83 pages) of our collective book: Global Peace Science (GPS): 1. Theory of SPHERONS (spheral classes of the population) as eternal actors of global peace and 2. SPHERONS’ Statistical proof, which is minimal but enough to be convinced in their universal existence and reality as eternal actors of global peace from harmony. These chapters are available here: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=585 and attachment. They were edited by Bruce Cook and partially Robert Weir - we appreciate their work. These chapters are the GPS theoretical and empirical foundation. On it will be located the articles of about its 50 co-authors. By the GHA tradition, its innovative knowledge belongs to everyone, so there are no restrictions on its distribution, discussion and participation in it - we do not make it a secret. In view of the crucial importance of these chapters, they sharpen three simple questions about the abilities of each GHA member as peacemaker, especially each coauthor of GPS: 1. Are you capable carefully to read these chapters (83 pages)? - Could you read them? 2. Are you capable to evaluate them to formulate your own opinion (any, positive or critical) of these chapters and to express it in a few (2-5) phrases? - Could you evaluate them and to express your opinion about them? 3. Are you capable to write and send to all members of the GHA your public response with your opinion about these chapters on GHA Email: gha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx during a week before May 23 inclusively? - Could you write and send your opinion to all? Of course, here, except your mind, requires your will, which the great French writer and philosopher Andre Maurois named by "the queen of virtues." From your abilities and will depends the scientific quality of our collective GPS, therefore also an honor of each of its coauthors and GHA in general in fulfilling our peacemaking mission in our anniversary, tenth year of life. The GPS following discussions will be similar: I will propound the chapters about 30 pages with 10-15 coauthors’ articles rather than individual articles. It will be more intense and more democratic discussion format than discussion each of the 70 articles separately. Please, let me highlight the scientific and ethical situation with our first chapters of GPS. These chapters, which required more than two months of my work, starting in March, express a fundamentally new approach to understanding peace and creating the foundation of peace science for the first time in history. Peace has not been made in the last 100 years within the traditional approaches, starting with pacifism since the late 19th century. This means it will never be reached through those similar methods. Humanity will not be able to achieve peace without changing anything in its peace consciousness, thinking and education. The proposed GPS is a fundamental, revolutionary change of peace consciousness, thinking and education. The GPS scientific revolution of peace thinking is thinking by global peace actors from harmony: SPHERONS. Therefore, this book represents, first of all, GHA’s highest moral responsibility and requires from us, from its coauthors, high scientific and civil ethics. This ethics requires from each of us active discussion, from which depends the quality of GPS. I rewrote the proposed chapters many times and am ready to rewrite them again after your criticism, suggestions and editing with gratitude to you. Your active position in the discussion is a key condition for scientific improving GPS. In this regard, therefore, we will be forced to exclude from the book the co-authors who choose to be silent and ignore the discussion of the new book chapters, i.e., those who have self-distanced from it and from dialog about it with its coauthors - this is not the position of peace to neglect dialog. We cannot recognize the dangerous trend of silent indifference among us. For example, in our discussion of a very important and interesting article by Ernesto Kahan about military genocide, only 10 coauthors participated. This is a very low level of solidarity for our unprecedented peace book, which requires the highest level of consolidation. The coauthors and all members of the GHA expect active involvement from each participant of the book. Particularly high is our priority to estimate any of your editing on any piece of text or the book as a whole, as well as any criticism and your definition of the place of your article and its ideas in GPS and among its SPHERONS. This will be a beacon signal for me: in which direction I must edit your articles and reduce them to 2-3 pages. Only this format of ethical, friendly and mutually respectful discussion of our peace science from harmony is appropriate. Silence and indifference are disrespectful to colleagues, friends and our mission of peace. Any disrespect is unacceptable for GHA and its mission. Therefore, we look forward to an active discussion of each as a guarantee of our ethics and science. This discussion is also very important in our time, in the new acute global context, when we see a new round of the Cold War, nationalism, militaristic hysteria and pathology that can effectively resist just common scientific understanding of peace in our GPS. With love, best wishes for peace from harmony, Dr. Leo Semashko, GHA President. www.peacefromharmony.org 15/05/14 Attachment(s) from Leo Semashko | View attachments on the web 2 of 2 File(s) !!_1_GPS_Br_ CHAPTER-1_14-05-14_FINAL+.docx !_2_CHAPTER_STATISTICS GPS_Br-Ro_15-05-14_FINAL+.docx Reply via web post • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (1) . __._,_.___ Reply via web post • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (3) Just launched !
