CANCELING STUDENT DEBT: A SOLUTION OR A STALL?
Every day bounds of human beings wake up with intentions and ambitions of forging a better life for themselves and their loved ones. The end destination that they strive to arrive at with the hard work of their ambitions varies per person, and so the path that one may take to get to their end destination will vary. There is a paradigm within our society that dictates one stop along the path that we ‘must’ take if we are to become successful. This is the paradigm of receiving secondary education, mainly through the completion of a college degree.

Exponential Optimism
In an age where a human being is merited upon the actions they take and the results of said actions, now more than ever is an important time for a conversation around the motives of our actions. If we were to continue to pull the layers back on the motives of human action, we will find multi-faceted reasons that drive our actions as a species. While some motives for our actions have a direct overlap between all humans, such as basic functions for maintaining our life force, other actions that humans decide to undertake seem driven by a different set of logic. Actions driven by motives of this nature may seem to have repercussions both short term and long term that are detrimental to the human being undertaking the action.

The Tightrope of Existence
The forces of energy that human beings define as life comes in many forms. Within all forms of life, we find a duality that each form of life is intrinsically guided by. On one side, we find that life is resilient. Withstanding all obstacles, a physical being endowed with life is inclined to ensure the continuation of its own life. On the other side of the coin, we see the fragility of life. That all forms of life are fragile in their existence and are subject to the ultimate dissolution of death. Between these two ends that define the nature of life, is the existence of the human being.

Fixing a Broken Society
In a time when human beings are seemingly more divided than ever, there is one thing I am willing to say that we can all agree on. The reality of human existence, the systems of the global human civilization is broken. Though this is not a startling revelation to any reader, it is interesting to note, that you could ask any human if they thought the current structures and state of humanity are functioning the best that they can, and I would be confident that the answer would be a resounding no.

Trust Issues – Part 2
To any human being who has been an observer of events, especially recent events, it is apparent that a mentality of low trust is rotting away at the gears that allow our global human civilization to operate. How did it get this way? Is there a way for us to rebuild trust within our society? As the Human Civilization Reformation Coalition, we believe that there is a way forward to overcoming the pitfalls that this low trust mentality has fostered in our global human civilization. We believe that there are two elements required to rebuild trust, whether the attempt is to rebuild trust between two individual people, an individual and an institution or even between two institutions, these two elements seem to hold as almost absolute truths when it comes to building or in this case rebuilding trust among two parties.

Trust Issues – Part 1
As the Human Civilization Reformation Coalition, we believe that numerous problems face humanity and can affect the existence of our species. In the effort of a continuous conversation concerning the problems that face humanity and the potential solutions towards these problems, we feel there is no other time appropriate for a discussion revolving the issue of our species existing in a low trust society.

Purposeful Utilization of Tools
Each tool can be used for both intrinsically good and evil reasons. While some tools are built with specific intentions, of good or evil, while other tools are built out of the spirit of innovation, all tools can serve both good and evil purposes. What determines how a tool gets used? Generally, that is determined by the end-user of the tool itself and their intentions.

A Melting Pot of Ideas
The development of tools to advance our abilities beyond the bounds of traditional human capability has been one characteristic that has allowed us to flourish as a species. Although other species of animals have been found to conduct themselves similarly, that is using tools to enhance one’s ability to sustain their life, it should be safe to say that no other species has created or utilized tools in the magnitude we have as a species. It is this ability to quickly create and implement tools that will benefit not only us as an individual but as a species altogether which in turn allows us an adaptative advantage in the realm of existence. As we continually adapt to the challenges that face us as a species, we must remember the best way to effectively find ourselves in a better global human civilization will be to adapt the concept of a humanity’s problem repository into mainstream utilization.

A Plethora of Perceptions
Continuation of the human species requires a diligent awareness of the problems that can affect humanity’s existence. The only way that we can bring awareness to our problems as a species is through a conscious effort of compiling and organizing these problems. As the HCRC, we have endeavored upon this task of building a version of this humanity’s problem repository. A repository of this nature would be comprehensive and allow not only an awareness of the problems themselves yet help begin a baseline understanding of how the problem came to be, as well as what solutions we may ponder to begin solving said problem. This can seem great and its use as a tool to positively progress our global human civilization is ideal, to say the least. One can easily shift perspectives and zoom out to see that are potential problems that could arise from the creation, governance, and enforcement of a repository of this nature that dictates which problems take precedence and which do not. Hence the importance of analyzing these pitfalls before the humanity’s problem repository, which is intended to be a tool, becomes a cumbersome problem within itself.

Privileges of Existence- Part 2
Each human being is consistently striving to find their true self through the course of their existence. As the HCRC, we define the discovery of this true self as a human being who has found a way to live their life in which it brings them internal happiness and peace. This can occur both consciously and subconsciously, no matter who you are though this search occurs at some point through the course of your existence. Some human beings find their true selves both earlier and easier than others. This can be for a variety of reasons. Whether you are born into a life that supports your true self or you faced adversity that revealed who that true self is, you may be one of the lucky human beings who has had the opportunity to find their true selves. Other human beings may not have had the chance for these variables to line up and to find that true self yet, as long as we are existing within our physical form though, we still have an opportunity to find our true self. As the HCRC, we believe that finding your true self is crucial to each member of the human species contributing their best towards the global human civilization. Establishing the privileges of existence for all human beings is the catalyst that can heighten our ability as human beings to find our true selves.

Three variables of problem prioritization
As human beings, there are numerous things to do and minimal time to do it. What gets done now and what should get done later is a question we consistently ask ourselves as we decide which actions to take in our day to day lives. Consciously and subconsciously we organize the actions we take in a sequential order that is to our pleasing as an individual human being. While it is common that unforeseen circumstances can always alter the sequence in which our actions may end up unfolding, most human beings tend to realign themselves to the initial sequence they set out before the unforeseen circumstance had occurred. As human beings, we must utilize this ability to prioritize the actions we take as individuals and expand its use to how we solve the problems that will affect our existence as the human species.

Classifications and Categorizations of Chaos
As human beings, we live in a continuum of revolving questions and answers. We venture out, searching for answers to questions we have and as we find those answers, we begin to think of new questions. Our questions as human beings can be constituted by two functions, curiosity, and a need to solve a problem. For example, one may look at a cloud and question what a cloud is and made out of, this would be a question rooted in one’s curiosity. While another question we may have to ask ourselves is where can I find my next meal. Questions of this nature would derive from a need to solve a problem. As the HCRC, we believe that continuing the existence of our species is the highest priority that we should hold, and because of this priority, we must fixate on answering questions that allow us to solve the problems that threaten our existence as a species.
