The B.S.E. Standard (A Needed Global Prioritization Policy)

It's a bird's-eye view of human activity and a sound foundational strategy for much-needed universal prioritization standard for any kind of biological habitat

It sets a simple, yet universally compatible, standard for infrastructure, industrial production regulation, chemical and frontier science experiments, consumer convenience, sustainable occupation guidelines, resource-based distribution, and individual or community problem-solving.

With these three topics we can understand any objective situation(and learn to think for ourselves, challenge each other, and discover the knowledge behind our culture of high standards instead of merely believing philosophy, prophecy, and rumors of politics and others' personal experience.

These are probably the single most important topics to consider and bring up in legislative and policy-forming conversations when making regulatory decisions that affect people, wildlife, the climate, and most importantly, the Earth's future habitability and thus the psyche of our entire global community.

So we can't just decide to self extinguish when there are trillions of unborn people who could experience life if we leave un-polluted, and unrestricted otherwise, and therefore biologically, socially, and finally economically sustainable, at least if the current monetary system is where we choose to economically plateau. 

1. Ecological Resilience(Biological Security/Biospheric Sustainability):

   Our planet's biosphere, that vital thin layer encompassing air, water, and soil, forms the fragile cradle of all life, but isn't just a static collection of resources. It's a dynamic, interconnected web where life thrives and evolves, constantly adapting to change. From microscopic composters breaking down waste to phytoplankton producing air in the ocean, every element plays a crucial role in it's resilient dance. Protecting this biosphere isn't just about preserving nature; it's about safeguarding the very foundation of our existence and the potential for all life to flourish.

   1. Why it's the top priority:

      • Foundation for Life: A healthy biosphere is the prerequisite for everything. - clean air, water, and a stable climate, the very resources and conditions that allow us to live, thrive, and even imagine a future, Without it, other pursuits become meaningless.
      • Dynamic, not static(Irreversible damage): Ecological resilience means the biosphere can adapt and recover from disruptions. But once tipping points are crossed, like mass extinctions or runaway climate change, the damage becomes irreversible and the costs, immeasurable.
      • Preventive approach: Investing in ecological/biosphere  sustainability now is not just a matter of protecting nature, it's a sound economic strategy. We save future costs from pollution cleanup, climate disasters, and resource scarcity by preventing environmental damage in the first place.
        
        Preventing environmental damage saves us from future expenses incurred by pollution cleanup, climate disasters, and resource scarcity.
   
   
   
2. Social Equity*(social sustainability):

   A Just and equitable society forms the bedrock of a sustainable future. This means ensuring everyone has equal opportunities to thrive, free from oppression and with access to basic necessities like healthcare, education, and a supportive community. Addressing issues like poverty, inequality, and social injustice not only fosters individual well-being, but also create a more stable and resilient society prepared to tackle global challenges.

   Why it's second:

   • Dependent on a healthy biosphere: Social equity cannot flourish on a degraded planet. Access to clean water, food, and resources becomes precarious in an unsustainable environment, exacerbating existing inequalities and leading to instability.
   • Foundation for individual potential: When basic needs are met and everyone feels valued and included, individuals can reach their full potential. This fosters innovation, creativity, and collective progress, propelling society forward.
   • Prevents unrest and conflict: Social injustices and disparities breed frustration, conflict, and ultimately, instability. By proactively addressing these issues, we build a more peaceful and resilient society prepared to face the challenges of every tomorrow.
   
   
3. Economic Opportunities(capitalism is only okay if it's after securing environmental pollution prevention and social oppression prevention)
   • Prioritizing finance: This sustainability model criticizes the tendency of many countries to prioritize financial well-being above all else, suggesting a lack of order in the free markets of an ecological planet can create fertile ground for corruption and neglect of other important aspects like environmental and social well-being.
   • Honest leadership: It contrasts this priority with the role of honest leaders in transparent democracies who should prioritize biosecurity and social equality over pure financial gain.
   • Unchecked capitalism: It warns against the dangers of allowing complete economic freedom in certain industries, particularly those with negative environmental and social impacts. The example of pollution-emitting and worker-exploiting industries highlights this vulnerability.
   • Narrative control: The sustainability narratives raises the issue of powerful entities using misleading narratives to defend unsustainable practices and manipulate public awareness and opinion by setting them up with biased or false claims, hindering progress towards sustainability. This "ignorance stigma" they mention refers to the tendency to dismiss concerns about environmental or social costs as unfounded or unimportant.

    

   The interdependency:

   It's crucial to understand that biological security and social equity are not isolated pillars. They are deeply intertwined, with each one strengthening the other. A healthy planet provides the resources and stability needed for a just and equitable society. Conversely, a thriving society with shared values is better equipped to protect and nurture the environment.

   By prioritizing these two fundamental pillars, we pave the way for a future where all life can flourish on a healthy planet within a just and equitable society.
   
   
   Overall takeaway:
   
   This sustainability model argues that current economic systems often prioritize financial growth over ecological and social well-being, and advocates for a shift in priorities towards a more sustainable and equitable future. It highlights the role of responsible leadership, regulation, and critical thinking in challenging unsustainable practices and ensuring that economic systems serve the broader well-being of society and the planet.
    
   This Page focuses on explaining the intrinsic value of each priority and its synergistic relationship with the other. It avoids generalizations about specific groups and emphasizes the preventive and long-term benefits of prioritizing these fundamental aspects for insuring a sustainable future.

Pass It On:

Bring up these three points in conversations when starting a new project, purchasing from businesses, or determining modern policy priorities if you intend to secure your community/planet's future vitality, and remember, biology can naturally adapt to weather and biological threats like viruses and predators, but not so much with long term, slow-acting chemical contamination to DNA nor political philosophy like bind-faith values patriotically wedged into legislation.

Globally useful lesson:

Instead of demonizing capitalism for plastic pollution, we want to promote a nuanced understanding of economic systems and their potential drawbacks. It emphasizes the importance of responsible regulation, strong institutions, and critical thinking to balance economic growth with ecological and social responsibility. This creates a globally relevant discussion applicable to diverse contexts and encourages constructive solutions for a more sustainable and equitable future.

• Focus on economic systems rather than countries: Instead of stating all countries prioritize finance, acknowledge economic systems, like neoclassical capitalism, tend to prioritize GDP growth above all else. This avoids generalizations and opens the door to discussing alternative systems.
• Acknowledge economic benefits: While prioritizing finance can breed corruption, recognize its role in generating resources for investment in vital sectors like healthcare and education. Nuance is key.
• Avoid binary framing: Instead of absolute freedom vs. complete regulation, suggest responsible regulation can encourage innovation and address negative externalities (environmental and social costs) caused by certain industries.
• Move from "honest leaders" to "effective institutions": Leaders come and go, but strong institutions like independent judiciaries and regulatory bodies foster long-term economic and social well-being.
• Shift from personal attacks to systemic analysis: Avoid generalizations about those controlling narratives. Instead, analyze how systems can create incentives for industries to prioritize profit over sustainability and worker well-being.
• Promote critical thinking and dialogue: Go beyond "manipulation" and "ignorance stigma". Encourage critical analysis of information and open dialogue about ethical approaches to economic development.
