     For a paradigm to be long-term viable it must fulfill
minimal conditions  in regards to reflexive behaviors.  It
must:

     1.  Lead to reconciliations, rather than alienations.

     2.  Emphasize affirmations, rather than negations.

     3.  Focus upon encouragement, rather than punishment.

     4.  Promote conflict resolution, not more conflict.

     5.  Transcend judgmentalism and excommunications.

     6.  Encourage inclusivity, rather than exclusivity.

     7.  Lead to integration, rather than disintegration.

     8.  Generate open and honest dialogue, not deception.

     9.  Engender meekness and gentleness, not arrogance.

     10.  Transcend coercions and violence, not copy them.

     11.  Promote respect and honor, not undermine them.

     12.  Seek healthy growth, rather than perfection.

     13.  Transcend idealistic naivete and perfectionism.

     14.  Encourage people to learn from mistakes made.

     15.  Facilitate public openness and honesty.

     16.  Engender non-alienative evaluations of actions.

     17.  Encourage sharing, rather than possessiveness.

     18.  Lead to more cooperation, than competition.

     19.  Promote healthy self esteem and reflection.

     20.  Promote both personal and communal integrity.

     21.  Honor simplicity, more than sophistication.

     22.  Respect inevitable limits and boundaries.

     23.  Honor recycling, more than consumption.

     24.  Promote connections, more than disconnections.

     25.  Engender synthesis, as much as analysis.

     26.  Balance creativity & conformity with each other.

     27.  Facilitate dialogue between distant extremists.

     28.  Set priorities honestly and realistically.

     29.  Lead to power sharing, not power grabbing.

     30.  Seek to transcend evil, rather than to destroy.

     31.  Seek true visions, rather than to control them.

     32.  Promote liberation, rather than more controls.

     33.  Honor personal integrity more than conformity.

     34.  Deal honestly with exponential growth patterns.

     35.  Deal honestly with limited resources and power.

     36.  Focus upon descriptions, not prescriptions.

     37.  Focus upon alternatives, not proscriptions.

     It is foolish to respect and honor paradigms which do
not  fulfill  such minimal conditions.   Yet people do  so
every  day---and often  fail  to  learn  from  the  tragic
consequences of their mistakes.
