HOW DOES BEING A WHOLE HUMAN RELATE TO THE CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN?
Open A.I. Assistant responded to my questions about the first principles of the Cardano blockchain, and the major views over history of what is meant by an ideal human.

​They share much in common as can be seen by transporting the key principles and values of the Cardano blockchain, ecosystem, and community to the characteristics of the whole human:
  • Decentralization: Cardano is built on a decentralized platform, meaning that it operates independently without the need for central authorities or intermediaries.
  • Security: Cardano prioritizes the security of its users' funds and data, and employs a number of advanced cryptographic and engineering techniques to ensure this.
  • Sustainability: Cardano aims to be a long-term, sustainable platform that can support the growth of decentralized applications and services. To achieve this, it has a unique governance structure that allows the community to make decisions about the future development of the platform.
  • Scalability: Cardano is designed to be scalable, meaning that it can handle increasing amounts of transactions as its user base grows.
  • Interoperability: Cardano is built to be interoperable with other blockchain networks, allowing for seamless transfers of data and assets between platforms.
  • Transparency: Cardano is open and transparent, with all transactions recorded on a public ledger that is easily auditable.
  • Accessibility: Cardano is designed to be accessible to all users, regardless of their technical abilities or geographical location.
  • Inclusiveness: Cardano seeks to be an inclusive platform that is accessible and usable by all people, regardless of their background or cultural differences.
  • Innovation: Cardano is a platform for innovation, and encourages the development of new and innovative applications and services.
These principles and values form the foundation of the Cardano ecosystem and community, and are integral to its success and growth.

​WHAT IS A PERFECT, COMPLETE OR WHOLE HUMAN BEING?
Through history, there have been many cultural, philosophical, and religious beliefs and traditions that offer their own visions of the "perfect person." It is worth noting that these concepts can vary greatly depending on cultural, historical, and personal factors and are often subject to change and evolution over time. Some examples include -

Ancient Greek Philosophy:
  • Aristotle's concept of the "virtuous person" or "excellent human being" who embodies moral and intellectual virtues such as courage, wisdom, and justice.
  • Plato's concept of the "philosopher-king" who possesses both philosophical wisdom and political power.
Eastern Philosophy:
  • Buddhism's concept of the "enlightened person" or "Buddha" who has achieved spiritual awakening and liberation from suffering.
  • Hinduism's concept of the "perfect person" or "purusha" who is virtuous, wise, and detached from worldly desires and suffering.
Abrahamic Religions:
  • Christianity's concept of the "holy person" or "saint" who embodies the qualities of love, compassion, and obedience to God.
  • Islam's concept of the "righteous person" or "mu'min" who follows the commandments of Allah and strives to lead a virtuous life.
  • Judaism's concept of the "righteous person" or "tzadik" who follows the commandments of God and strives to lead a virtuous life.
Modern Psychological Theories:
  • Carl Jung's concept of individuation, where the "whole person" is achieved through integrating the unconscious and conscious mind.
  • Abraham Maslow's concept of self-actualization, where the "fully-functioning person" is one who realizes their full potential and achieves a state of self-fulfillment.
Humanistic Psychology:
  • Carl Rogers' concept of the "actualizing person" who is open to experience, self-directed, and has a positive self-concept.
  • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, where the "self-actualized person" is one who has met their basic physiological and safety needs, as well as their need for love, esteem, and self-actualization.
Philosophical Movements:
  • Existentialism's concept of the "authentic person" who is true to their own individuality, experiences, and values, and creates meaning in their life.
  • Utilitarianism's concept of the "good person" who acts in ways that promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
Literature and Art:
  • The "heroic figure" in epic poems, plays, and novels, who embodies bravery, strength, and virtuous qualities.
  • The "tragic hero" in classical Greek plays, who experiences a fall from grace due to a tragic flaw.
Political and Economic Theories:
  • Capitalism's concept of the "entrepreneur" who creates wealth and contributes to economic growth.
  • Marxism's concept of the "classless person" who is equal in economic and political power, and lives in a society free from exploitation.
Self-Help and Personal Growth:
  • The "self-made person" who achieves success and fulfillment through their own efforts and determination.
  • The "mindful person" who practices mindfulness and awareness, leading to inner peace and well-being.
