I – Humanity at large is increasingly reliant on advanced technologies and techniques employed by a small number of specialized individuals to provide for its basic needs.

II – Through the use of advanced technologies and techniques by a small number of specialized individuals, humanity has extended its lifespan beyond its biological norms.

III – Through the use of advanced technologies and techniques by a small number of specialized individuals, humanity has greatly reduced environmental pressures on itself.

IV – Through the use of advanced technologies and techniques by a small number of specialized individuals, humanity has greatly increased its ability to support large populations.

V – In many cases this increasing use of advanced technology, techniques, and specialists is desirable and necessary for the Common Good and the advancement of the species.

VI – It must be understood and accepted that this increasing use of advanced technology, techniques, and specialists necessarily reduces the pressures exerted by natural selection on humanity at large.

VII – It must be understood and accepted that this reduction of pressures exerted by natural selection will necessarily have unintended results on humans at large.

VIII – Humanity at large is less likely to be able to persist and advance without the continuing aid of advanced technologies and techniques employed by its specialists.

IX – Any attempt to reduce humanity’s reliance on advanced technologies, techniques, and specialists will necessarily cause harm to humanity and cause it to regress.

X – This type of regression is harmful to the Common Good and to the individual.

XI – As dependency increases, the moral obligation to maintain the systems that sustain humanity increases.

XII – The Common Good requires distributed participation in sustaining technological and institutional systems.

XIII – It is therefore essential for humanity at large to actively contribute to their own survival in such a way as to augment the services provided by the advanced technologies and techniques used by its specialists.
