As described in the article “Economics of the future”, the global economy faces a major shift towards a large scale space facility building. In order to mount such an industry, not only the conjugate efforts of multiple countries or political unions are necessary, but also the individual resource of human expertise and creativity is critical.
But, where do you find the adequate human resource when the planetary challenges become overwhelming and escalate with waiting?

Strength in numbers

It is known that, when dealing with a large task, a team is preferable to an individual. That applies more if the task involves qualified work or technological know-how. But, if we ‘are talking about the field of research, the effects of many, although more subtle, are even more decisive.
Imagine that for the work of a breakthrough in cold fusion technology, a developed country can provide 100 specialists for a certain period of time, say 30 years. If the same country could provide for the same task 1,000 specialists, not only the estimated speed of research will increase 10 times, but also the probability that one of them is the future Einstein will increase accordingly. That is of course a simplified scenario, but you get the idea.

Mawi

In Central Africa the desert borders a savannah and a river bed that fills with water in the raining season. The inhabitants of a small village near the river move their herds of cattle along with the season changing, searching for the best pastures to ensure their living.
Even when he was a ten years boy, Mawi learned from his grandpa that we should live in harmony with the nature, for everything we take we should give something back. Grandpa also said that there are unseen forces that bind all things together, and one should acknowledge and respect these forces. Among the other kids, Mawi was the first to learn to read the weather changing, to find the clues for a soil with underground water, and even learned several stars on the sky that help the traveler going to a distant place.
All the villagers obeyed a strict code of honoring the traditions and gave praise to the forces of the nature that granted them a continuous existence for many generations. But Mawi felt that the unseen forces are meant to be known by the man, and he could reach deeper in understanding what the other villagers consider to be immutable.
One day a group of strangers wearing long coats and sun glasses arrived into the village. They gather the kids to play a contest of keenness using some little devices that talk and show various images while held in your hand. They noticed that Mawi was very fast to learn and had a natural way of interacting with the device and decided to give it to him as a present. They spoke with the elders of the village and offered to return two years later with a proposal of scholarship for Mawi as he progresses with his learning.
Twenty two years later, in North America, at the Physics and Astronomy Institute, Professor Eric Shuman, chairman of the Science Academy, opened the biennial conference on Achievements and Discovery with a speech: “We gathered here to salute the decisive step forward in setting the basis of the world spatial sustainable economy, made possible by the astounding discovery of the anti-graviton waves by our exceptional colleague Dr. Mawi Erbassa. The efficient space transportation and the orbital manufacturing in our planetary systems can finally become a daily reality …”

Necessity or evolution?

As seen in the Maslow’s pyramid of needs, an individual is driven by basic and higher tier needs, when it comes to describing the human behavior. But, whereas the individual needs can be identified pretty accurately, the needs of the society made of many individuals form the base of the endless political and philosophical debates throughout the history.
In an age where the communication between people is quasi-instantaneous, the society is much more integrated regarding the sharing of ideas, exchange of opinions, and many other thinking related activities. One should look at the human race like as a super-organism whose needs need to be identified properly and even anticipated. An umbrella under all those needs may be gathered is the evolution of the human kind. The history of life has shown that if a species should succeed in its endeavors, it must succeed in its evolution. If we want to identify the necessities of the human race, we must anticipate its trajectory, looking especially for its future evolution. As in the pyramid of needs, the entire race will be hindered in its evolution if the basic needs of all the people will remain unmet.

Solidarity Grant

The definition of the solidarity grant is:
Each human must be granted the access to food and shelter.

Implementation

Each country or political union will build a series of modular accommodations grouped in areas called solidarity campuses.
The operation of these areas will be ensured by the army or an equivalent legal organization with a strict code of conduit and good operational performance where no army is constituted. The financing and the material needs of the campuses will be ensured by the government or an equivalent legal budget ordering organization where no government is constituted. The supervising and the political responsibility for the welfare of the campuses will be ensured by the parliament or an equivalent legal representative organization where no parliament is constituted.
Any person with self-responsibility may request access to the campus for a given period of time starting with one month, e.g. 1, 3, 6, 12 months, and renew the request several days before expiration. Children under 2 are allowed with their mother if present. For the other children, any person who requests a period of access and is a legal tutor of those children will agree that the state through its institutions will take care of their food, shelter and education for the same period of time.
Inside the campus applies the rule of law, the human rights and the solidarity grant. Only the functions of food and shelter will be performed by the campus, other supportive functions will ultimately defeat its existence. The access will be permitted for sheltering hours like 6 hours sleeping; bad weather like under -20°C or natural catastrophe decreed by law. Also the access will be allowed for three short periods of time when the food is distributed and ingested. Any personal belongings are held at the entrance and returned at exit. A person may exit any time the campus but will be allowed in only when a period of shelter or of meal begins. Also, at the end of each period the campus will be evacuated and will do maintenance tasks.
The campus consists in modular living units for one person each and several service units like toilets, personnel offices, energy and communication units. Each unit has a minimal decor, is connected to a heating and energy source, has surveillance capacity and may be inspected by the operation personnel. A person will be given a random living unit which differs each time a food or shelter period begins. The food will be delivered and consumed inside these living units. Several periods can be glued together for efficiency reasons eliminating intermediary evacuations, but keeping at least two daily maintenance periods of 4 hours each. Circulation and access inside the campus will be limited and monitored. Toilets are single person nodules with washing sets included. Other than some administrative restrictions, no obligation will be created for the persons accessing the campus.

Consequences

Freeing the individual from the necessity of solving two of the most basic needs will contribute dramatically to the evolution of the race. The higher level needs will get much more attention, and the problem solving capacity of the global community will increase ten times. Also, the basis for more civilized and a more educated world is set with the integration in the human minds of the solidarity grant. People will soon consider a habit like washing on hands to work in a small fraction also for the need of the community which in turn will ensure their access to the solidarity grant. It is worth mentioning also that moral rights like human dignity and self-esteem will be strongly enhanced.
The vectors of evolution of the human race can be changed by various events in ways not necessary positive for the future. Why not change them in a controlled way with decisive positive contribution to the human being?
