Rethinking Our Future – Massachusetts Institute for National Development (MIND)
MHRF Founder, Steve Hershman, envisioned the organization as an Institute for National Development (MIND) and was conceived as a forum for streamlining efficient public and private support that would accord with reliable measures in social responsibility, using new methodologies (such as AI) to accelerate prospects for nationally-oriented, community-participatory self-help, while also applying the full framework of Constitutionally guaranteed legal and human rights, privileges, accommodations permissible which are germane and beneficial in application to bolster and improve our national democratic social, political and economic free-enterprise system.
The major thrust of emphasis is placed first on our children’s human rights, whose physical health, nutrition, and mental and spiritual well-being in America is constantly being jeopardized in our care and leadership. For their sake, we must defer to more serious obligation and commitment, morally consonant and intellectually indistinguishable from the quintessential quality of properly placed, conscientiously motivated service in stewardship on their behalf as our first priority.
As the children reflect the prospect required for continuation of our national and human survival for all future generations, then we must all demonstrate moral and ethical accountability to inculcate as society endowed with values and wisdom, rather than selfishly-justified politically-ideological narratives that can only polarize and divide us, and that can only perpetrate inter-generational and inter-culture “cycle-of-abuse. In the end, all that is achieved is making the children the constantly suffer as perpetual victims of deterioration and demoralization of our entire societies’ cultural.
We seek to bring greater deeper understanding of what humanity as man women, American or human—-as nationalist or internationalist? What commonalities bind us together, and particularly in all our children, for any reason that we should have mutual respect for the sacred dignity of human life? Or should we convey to the world, as we are doing now in mindless, unproductive conflict, that serves no definite—-no discernible point about human justice, civil rights, democratic prosperity toward sustainable posterity?
The people whom would riot on the streets during a pandemic, or on the U.S. Capitol, who could not be privy to know as to whether an election is stolen or not, yet act, are neither democratic, nor good citizens. How do they even set a good moral example for children?
Is not that which binds us in in commonality, is that we are a species of self-aware beings with naturally granted power for discernment? In other words, the children collectively are synonymous with our future. Their care nurturing and development is crucial to the survival of our species. The continuation of entire human race globally, let alone nationally, is impossible without the children’s mature and responsible care. How we consummate that quality of care if we refuse to take good care of ourselves and each other? Who else should be there to take care of the children?
This point is axiomatic, and its theme is reiterated throughout this entire thesis….even in seeming redundancy, yet notwithstanding clarity in simple terms of empirical self-evidence that, without the ultimate welfare of the rights and needs of our children, and juxtaposed, based upon the growing intensities of crucial dilemmas throughout the world in these times along with their ideological forms of political, religious, and secular denial of wrong behavior, the prognosis for the ultimate future of the human race, is extinction.
