      There are tens of thousands of wars and conflicts in history - practically there are perpetual wars and conflicts all the time - and all of them are due to enormous human errors! All people want to immediately stop these non-sense errors, and start a normal life, based on peace, no arms, freedom, good health, good education, good jobs, harmony and prosperity for all on our beloved Earth! Why these perennial war errors persisted for so long? There are many fundamental questions that all human beings are called to answer. The most important philosophers, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant, always asked profound questions, and gave eternal answers. Over 140 years ago, around 1881, Darwin said "To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact." Yes, we need to eliminate these never-ending war errors - it is well known, for over 2000 years, the Latin maxim "errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum" (to err is human, to persist is diabolical" - and this diabolical simply means due to illness. This book presents many war errors from history, using questions, clearly showing how bad the war errors are, and comparing with new ideas, which will create the conditions for a peaceful, free, healthy, harmonious and prosperous life for all on our Peaceful Terra. The future begins to take shape in front of our eyes, and is amazingly attractive!

      What is life? There are many fundamental questions that all human beings are called to answer. The most important philosophers, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant, always asked profound questions, and gave eternal answers. Over 160 years ago, in 1859, the 50 years old Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 - 19 April 1882, aged 73.1) formulated the theory of evolution by natural selection, first presented in his book "On the Origin of Species" - it is the process by which all species of organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. This was erroneously applied to humans too, mostly in a very wrong way.Also, Darwin said "To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact." This is what we are doing in this book - the theory of evolution by natural selection does not apply to Homo Sapiens post 2020 - now we have evolution by harmony!This book discusses in detail this important change, using many questions, giving complete responses, emphasizing on the new ideas from the Constitution of the World, which will create the conditions for a peaceful, free, harmonious and prosperous new country, Peaceful Terra.The future begins to take shape in front of our eyes, and it is astonishingly beautiful!

      What is Life for Homo Sapiens post 2020?: Life is evolution by harmony, not by natural selection for people

      After the full implementation of the new Constitution of the World for a little while, the people will begin to replace the old top-down management style, and start working like a self-conducting orchestra. In long run, the objective is to have the people self-manage their activities, with minimal government help - then the government will become a small part-time organization, working only when is necessary (taxes, accidents, earthquakes, etc.), mostly with volunteers. Many of the millions of great world opportunities will work with self-management - we give just several dozens of examples, from Establishing a permanent peace and Transforming cities in capitals, to Maintenance of the World Government and Increasing global wealth.This self-management will generate a much greater productivity, prosperity and happiness for all.

      Around 1795, George Washington wrote: "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master." After thousands of years of such governments all over the place, obviously the bureaucracy is growing like a weed, and the people want a quality change really fast - no bureaucracy whatsoever! The over 7.7 billions of people on Earth impatiently ask for a friendly, helpful, compassionate, polite, prompt and smart World Government, with no bureaucracy! This book is exactly about a quality change to a much better and non-bureaucratic world management, with clear, short and practical ideas.Bottom Line: Eliminate bureaucracy and keep it away!

      Bureaucracy is growing like a weed - People Want a Quality Change: Yup, that's right! Better life for all!
