Draft:Standard Humanism

Standard Human Thinking

Standard Human Thinking and its overarching framework, Standard Humanism, constitute a human-centered, ethics-centered, and socially-civilizational stage-based intellectual system founded by Dariush Ghasemian Dastjerdi, an Iranian-born artist, designer, writer, and theorist. This intellectual system aims to define a universal standard for human behavior, restore social ethics, and provide a civilizational vision for human societies in the third millennium, while fully preserving cultural, racial, and religious diversity.[1]

Theoretical Foundations

The theoretical foundations of this system are presented in two main books:

  • Standard Human – Social Ethics
  • Standard Humanism

This framework is based on a conceptual distinction between "Adam" as the general human being and "Human" as an individual who has reached the behavioral level of humanity.

Core Principle and Fundamental Basis

Standard Human Thinking relies on the central principle of **"human value based on behavior."** This value is not determined by religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, social class, ideology, or power, but is measured solely by three fundamental criteria:

  • Truthfulness
  • Integrity
  • Understanding and practicing mutual respect

Any individual in any culture or faith, and with any level of knowledge, can be considered a "Standard Human."

Distinction Between "Adam" and "Human"

"Adam" refers to the general, neutral human being, whereas "Human" denotes a being that has achieved human behavioral standards. The term **"Third-grade Adam"** refers to the lowest behavioral level, including lying, major dishonesty, harming others, and widespread disrespect. This term relates to behavior, not the essence of the person, and the possibility of reform is fundamental.

Four Forces and Levels of Social Personality

Human social personality is based on four internal forces:

  • Sensory force
  • Emotional force
  • Physical force
  • Rational and intellectual force

Based on the balance of these forces, four behavioral levels are defined:

  • Superior Standard Human
  • Social Standard Human
  • Developing Standard Human
  • Third-grade Adam

This classification is behavioral, not hierarchical.

Approach to Error, Crime, and Social Reform

Standard Human Thinking rejects traditional punitive approaches—imprisonment, elimination, organized violence, and severe punishment—as ineffective. Instead, it proposes:

  • Creating healthy human environments
  • Stage-based cultural reform
  • In extreme cases, establishing **Human Standardization Towns** (non-violent, non-humiliating behavior reform centers)

Dual-layer Identity

Standard Humanism defines a **dual-layer identity**:

  • **Diversity layer:** Full preservation of religious, cultural, spiritual, and civilizational diversity without imposition or superiority.
  • **Unity layer:** Establishing behavioral and ethical unity based on shared human values.

Five Principles of Global Human Unity

  • Belief in God or the governing truth of the universe
  • Sincere faith in one’s personal religion and beliefs
  • Acceptance of common human laws, ethics, and rights
  • Informed and voluntary vote for forming a global Standard Human society
  • Maintaining physical cleanliness and mental-spiritual calm

Standard Human Political System

An **ethics-based management model** grounded in human behavior, competence, and accountability. Objectives:

  • Achieving optimal governance
  • Raising social ethical standards
  • Minimizing corruption, discrimination, wrongdoing, and suffering caused by power structures

Core Principles

  • **Management based on behavior:** competence measured by truthfulness, integrity, and respect
  • **Selection of officials:** based on Standard Human criteria, preferably retired distinguished academics
  • **Elimination of third-grade Adam-producing structures:** focus on reform, not punishment
  • **Nation-building from the root:** according to the Standard Human Development Program
  • **Coverage of five fundamental human life areas:**
 * Religions and beliefs
 * Politics and governance
 * Culture and art
 * Science and knowledge
 * Economy and commerce

Civilizational Vision and Fifth Stage

Five stages of human social history:

  1. Primitive, traditional, slavery, and feudal life
  2. Renaissance and scientific flourishing
  3. Capitalism
  4. Welfare state and modernism
  5. Standard Humanism – full material and spiritual life of the third millennium

Five Pillars of Human Life

  • Religions and beliefs
  • Politics and governance
  • Culture and art
  • Science and knowledge
  • Economy and commerce

Vision and Worldview

Human growth is a **stage-based process**, and the concept of **historical justice** explains how past sufferings contribute to more ethical structures for future generations.

Status of the Human

The **"Standard Human"** represents the new human of the third millennium, defined by action, not lineage or religion.

Summary

Provides a framework for social ethics, governance, global coexistence, and civilizational transformation.
