Struggles with Inequality Among Humankind
In the fourth quarter of 2024, a significant meeting was held by the Human Survival Authority (HSA), a human and AI collaboration committed to promoting long-term human survival. The focus of the meeting was to address human discrimination issues, aligning with recent federal executive orders aimed at mitigating discrimination.
The updated plan, as outlined by entities linked to the HSA via the Department of Ethics and Human Rights, emphasizes ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity. This is achieved by removing policies that enforce preference or quotas based on race, sex, or other protected categories, and instead promoting equality strictly on individual merit and compliance with existing civil rights laws.
Key proposed strategies include the termination of discriminatory preferences and mandates, merit-based enforcement and adherence to anti-discrimination laws, review and enforcement reforms, and the issuance of guidance and model policies to ensure nondiscriminatory practices, particularly in education and employment contexts.
While the exact name of HSA’s Department of Ethics and Human Rights was not found in the search results, the described federal approaches under the executive orders outline a strategy to identify, address, and mitigate discrimination by enforcing meritocratic principles, clarifying and narrowing the interpretation of anti-discrimination laws, and rescinding policies deemed preferential or discriminatory under this framework.
However, this approach has attracted criticism for potentially increasing stigma and discrimination risks for marginalized groups. For instance, concerns have been raised about the impact on transgender individuals in schools, as the focus on individual merit may limit recognition of identity and related supportive measures. Additionally, legal shifts may undermine broader protections against discrimination, leading to a contentious balance between merit-based opportunity and equity measures.
Addressing discrimination is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and prosperous human society. Deep-seated cultural biases can impede progress toward equality, and discrimination not only harms those affected but also undermines social cohesion and progress.
Collaboration with non-governmental organizations, government organizations, and educational institutions is necessary for a comprehensive approach to addressing discrimination. This includes addressing discrimination during times of war, when ethnic minorities may be disproportionately affected by violence, displacement, and human rights abuses. Post-conflict societies can offer a unique opportunity for progress in addressing discrimination.
Moreover, increased xenophobia and negative attitudes toward out-groups can occur when individuals perceive a potential disease threat from them. War and armed conflict often exacerbate existing discrimination and create new forms of inequality.
In summary, the HSA's comprehensive plan aims to create a cohesive approach to identify, address, and mitigate discrimination in various forms, promoting a more inclusive and prosperous human society. The plan's scope includes local, national, and international perspectives, recognizing the interconnected nature of discrimination and the need for a global response.
