Haroutioun Bochnakian QUOTES

1 " Our young should be at ease with the fact that every mind works differently, and that there is never an issue if someone’s mind is not adapted to this or that subject, or even to this or that manner of teaching or learning.

His mind, in whatever manner it needs to function, is a precious stone in humanity’s treasure, whether he realizes it or not. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

2 " All humanity needs, is to be reminded that there has always existed a human consensus on all common human needs and desires (extremely long life in perfect health, abundance, well-being), and that now, transgressing the religious option, he has achieved the scientific option of working for all of them, and for much more.
His rationality, guided by both his ambition and inspiration, will do the rest.

WHATEVER RELIGION PROMISES, SCIENCE WILL DELIVER. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

3 " The political parties are there to distract us from our systems of government; instead of focusing on the system, we focus on political parties to vote for.

Voting is our only encouraged interaction with our systems of government.

The choice between political parties fractures our nations yet further, turns our focus on each other, and away from the mechanisms of our systems of government. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian

4 " Democracy is a continuous, open process of civility.
A democracy can never be “done”; updating democracy can never be over.

Democracy can be nothing else but a continuous process, because we use it to organize our life, and life is nothing but a continuous process.

Democracy can be compared to an operating system or an anti-virus software; if it does not get perpetually updated, it becomes obsolete very fast.

Trusting the updates or the “improvements” of democracy to the elected and the owned mass media is like trusting the updates of an anti-virus program to virus creators; it defeats the purpose of updates or improvements. "

5 " Impossible? Utopic?
Sure!
But for how long?
Can any human endeavor be eternally impossible or utopic ?
A time factor should be integrated to every affirmation of utopia, or else the people affirming that would only be affirming that they are not the ones who can make it happen. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian

6 " All monotheisms should return to their respective times with our thanks for everything.
This is no longer their time.
If they stay, they will suffer and make us suffer.
If they really love humanity, they should step aside and let humanity outgrow them.

This is the time when humanity needs to learn about thinking and acting collectively for his collective, or else no monotheism-presented God can ever save him. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

7 " Only man’s misdirected abstract mind can delude its own desire to know by creating contradicting belief systems using self-contradicting myths, and then make itself believe that these “revealed” belief systems are in fact the only “truths”,
Then kill and die FOR them,
Instead of saving each other FROM them. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

8 " Our “selves”, our “being”, our “ego”, our “soul”, our individuality, our personality, … is only our mind continuously adapting to its environment to insure survival and well-being, working with whatever inherited predispositions (formed by previous generations of minds adapting to their environment) it has to work with.
If we could only make our beautiful mind come in contact with the facts, ALL the facts… , we could trust it with the rest, ALL the rest.
Our beautiful mind will always do the right thing.
Always.
The thing is to find the facts. ALL the facts. Not one less. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

9 " Making decent human beings accept the principle of a private, divine covenant be it first, second, third, old, new or whatever, will destroy all humanity and decency in our species.
All these diverging and contradicting one man “revelations” will always destroy our HUMAN grace, to serve one of the many “versions” of a hypothetical DIVINE grace…

Something like… rape for a divine virginity… "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

10 " I think the need to believe in religion is and always was a need to know.
Satisfying the NEED TO KNOW, be it by really knowing, by thinking we know or by believing we know, is very comforting for man.

Be it by “direct” knowledge,
Be it by “emotional” knowledge,
Be it by “gut-felt” knowledge,
Be it by “spiritual” knowledge,
Be it by “transcendental” knowledge,
Be it by “meditative” knowledge,
Be it by “inspiration”,
Be it by “revelation”,
Be it knowing by faith or
Be it by understanding,

We definitely are one humanity under “need to know”. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

11 " Greatness should have no victims
Greatness should need no victims. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

12 " What we call “Higher” behavior is elaborated by our abstract mind to ensure survival by an efficient cohesion of our clan.
What we call “lower” behavior is to ensure survival at the expense of a rival, or to prevent the survival of a rival to be at our expense.
So,
Be they our “higher” and “lower” behavior/selves, our humanity and inhumanity, our “Divine” and “diabolic” trends, or any aspect of our Human Nature,
All are created by our abstract mind to ensure survival in an environment of scarcity.

But of course you can always choose to adopt “revelations” which present human nature as:
A messed up image of a messed up supernatural coexistence between two messed up opposite supernatural entities with a messed up relation.

Ultimately, we all think we choose by what we think we know. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

13 " All life-forms are innocent, but man is the greatest innocent life-form that the universe has ever produced.
Man is never created bad, as some primitive “revelations” claim.
Man is both all-capable, and innocent;
Man cannot have better attributes than the ones he already has.
Once we defeat scarcity, the factor that has forced all our negative attributes into existence will be no more.
Man’s nature is forged by scarcity.
Man is a child of scarcity.
Some men may currently live in abundance, even obscene abundance, but they still are the children of scarcity.
We all are. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

14 " In the perspective of our species, life has favored humanity as a whole by promoting as much wealth of variety and options as possible, and has distributed everything using the four winds. Life has given mankind everything it has, without segregation and without consideration of which characteristic or quality best suits the situations or the periods.
Only by having the totality of human characteristics and options can we hope to deal with all periods to come.
Our collective is our key to survival and well-being. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

15 " Individual free choices” can only be the expression of an “individual free will”.
The notion of an “individual free will” generating “individual free choices” creates a much needed consequence: personal accountability.
Personal accountability is vital for a primitive, immature human organization based on reprehension or praise.
The permanent interaction of a unique inherited Nature (and maybe a unique “soul”) with a unique nurture (environment), will always determine all our “individual free choices”, from cradle to grave.
It is impossible for the individual to be sentient before birth and choose these two or three unique factors.
The logic of holding someone personally accountable for a “non-chosen” choice eludes me.
The notion of individual free will can at best be a “gut felt” illusion, but can never have logical relevance.
What sort of human (and divine!) organization can be based on the consequence of a “gut felt” illusion?
-Our current one; primitive, illogical, unstable and permanently conflictual.

Be it for all individual choices or all differences, the definitive ban of the illusionary notion of personal accountability is the missing step that will lead to human maturity.

How’s your “gut” now? "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian

16 " The core issue in monotheism is righteousness/wickedness.
Righteous/wicked qualifies a person acting or being Good/bad.
In an environment of scarcity, man’s vital strategy for collective survival hinges on being good to his clan and bad to rival clans to acquire or defend resources.
So the creation/elaboration/nurture of both good and bad can only be the consequence of a primary cause: scarcity.
Monotheism “Revealing” such a mental disadvantage in a Creator as to confuse consequences for causes is … revelatory. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian

17 " DIVINE NECESSITY creates “others” even among family members who become good to be killed by family members…

HUMAN NECESSITY commands man to resurrect the supposed reason for which God supposedly shattered humanity in Babylon:

The “Covenant” among men. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

18 " Monotheism and an absolute God define one another.

The absolute is a mental construct, an abstract mental model.
The absolute, whether it is a purest abstract essence or an extreme abstract measure, only exists in our minds as an abstraction.

Furthermore, the absolute will only lead to the abandon of all measure and blind us to the relative interdependence of all things.
The measure of knowledge of life is the knowledge of the measure of this relative interdependence. "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

19 " I have yet to understand the ritual of sacrifice in monotheism; to a supposed Creator who has supposedly given us what we will be eventually sacrificing.
If I take a small mirror and reflect sunlight back to the sun, am I sacrificing to the sun? "

― Haroutioun Bochnakian , The Human Consensus and The Ultimate Project Of Humanity

20 " Violence is formed by the scarcity of nature, and will stay with us as long as we live in scarcity. "
