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.

Focused on the Problem
For the majority of human beings, we can envision the future. Just because the majority of us can though it does depend upon that specific human being if they do actively utilize their ability to envision the future. If you are a human being that does actively utilize your ability to envision the future, then you may have varying topics that you envision that can range from your future to the future of our human civilization. There are also differences in the exact duration of how far into the future that vision may stretch between different human beings. Regardless of the details, there are visions of the future that many of us have. As the HCRC, our vision of the future is a place where we allow all human beings within our global human civilization the Privileges of Existence. Living in a global human civilization where we can ensure every human being can live their life to the fullest extent, and enjoy the liberty to do as they please, as long as they do not detract from any other human being’s life or liberty, is the vision the HCRC has for the future.

The Origin of Issues
As human beings, we all have various levels of awareness. What determines each human being’s specific level of awareness for any given situation can vary based upon a variety of factors. Existence as a human being can be dynamically fickle which does not allow for an easy ability to construct a one size fits all formula for determining why one specific human being may experience a certain degree of awareness concerning one thing, while a complete lack of awareness regarding another. Despite the numerous factors that can dictate one human being’s awareness, two elements that do seem to hold validity in determining the likelihood of how aware one may end up being is their overall sense of how important the situation or topic is relative to how much impact nonawareness could have on that specific human being’s existence. When we take those factors into account, we can see most human beings will devote the majority of their awareness to the things they find important.

When the situation calls for it
Our quest to build a better global human civilization is riddled with many obstacles in the path. If we are to positively progress as a species then we must follow this path towards a better global human civilization regardless of the obstacles that try to deter us. Whether these obstacles exist in the physical realm or within the intangible realm of the human psyche, many of these obstacles are difficult to navigate through. Hence the reason why guiding principles are pivotal in helping us overcome the difficulties that may lie ahead.

Connecting to the Goal
Each human being has goals that they want to achieve through the course of their existence. Whether they are conscious of these goals or not, every human being has set goals for their life. Although all human beings have goals, we cannot say all human beings achieve their goals. The question is, what drives human beings to be successful in achieving their goals and how can we utilize this same principle as a species to ensure we are successful in the goal of building a better global human civilization? The answer to this question leads us to our next guiding principle.

Receptive to Reformation
As the HCRC, we have illustrated the human species’ need for a set of principles to guide our actions towards the achievement of a better global human civilization. These principles can be seen as our guide on the path towards building this better global human civilization. Without guiding principles, we are bound to get lost along our journey through existence as a species. This is why we believe it is crucial to determine what these guiding principles are based upon the type of civilization we want to exist within. As the HCRC, we believe that humanity should exist in a global human civilization that has the best interest in mind for every human being. With this vision of what type of civilization humanity should exist and operate within, we have set out to analyze principles we believe can fulfill the role of guiding humanity towards building a better global human civilization.

Compassion in Action – Part 2
ven general acquaintances. Performing a simple yet helpful task in service towards another human being that we know, but by no means that we would consider a loved one. Many of us have fulfilled the role of demonstrating compassion towards another human being that falls into this category, which entails that many of us can demonstrate compassion if we choose. While most of us have fulfilled this role at least once up to this point in our existence, we should all know that there is always room to expand the parameters to which your compassion can be extended.

Compassion in Action – Part 3
In the effort to mobilize compassion to help progress humanity towards the achievement of a better global human civilization we have explored the previous confines that may have limited our ability to demonstrate compassion to its furthest extent. Without the mobilization of compassion, we will not be able to ensure our actions will create the resulting global human civilization that we hope to create. A species that is compassionate to itself and others have a higher probability of synergizing with others which in turn will allow for greater potential to arise from that species. To unlock the full benefits of compassion and to allow its capabilities to guide us in the achievement of building a better global human civilization, we must continue the expansion of our perceptions of who and what we can demonstrate compassion towards.

The Path Towards Positively Progressing
Our mentality as individual human beings dictates the actions and reactions we will have throughout the existence we experience. If our goal as a species is to exist within a global human civilization that has the best interest of every single member of the human species, our actions must support this goal. Each human being must exist and act in a manner that supports the goal of the human species as a whole. Our actions revolve around our perceptions of the previous experiences we have endured throughout our life. Over time as we consistently undergo the same experiences, we form a guiding principle that we use to filter our future decisions. Since we cannot go back in time and change those experiences, the question then becomes how do we realign our actions in a way that will support the achievement of a better global human civilization?

Compassion in Action – Part 1
What does it mean to live out our existence as compassionate human beings? Where does compassion start and where does it end, or should even end at all? As we quest for a better global human civilization, these are a couple of the infinite questions we each must contemplate as members of the human species if we want to achieve this end goal. If we are to reach this destination, as a species we need to ensure our day to day actions are guided by a higher purpose. As human beings, we will all have an individualized purpose within the existence we are currently experiencing. As members of the human species, we must understand that we need to operate with a core purpose as a species as well. As the HCRC, we believe that living within a global human civilization that has the best interest in mind for every single member of the species needs to be the shared purpose of the human species.

Privileges of Existence – Part 3
A global human civilization that successfully operates with the best interest of every member of the human species requires every human being to contribute to that success. While every member of the human species will have different skills to contribute, we must recognize that the more human beings that focus their energy on positively progressing our global human civilization, the easier it will be to achieve. We must allow every member of the human species the ability to find their contribution to the global human civilization. As human beings, we must realize that finding the best contributions we can make to the global human civilization resides in our passions and purpose. When a human being lives a life of passion and purpose is when that human being can joyously contribute to the global human civilization.
