Thanks for your thoughtful summary of this good vision of how to move to a happier place for humanity and the world. It provides humanity with a framework that is just, but I agree that it is mainly anthropocentric. I wish the other sentient beings could truly rise up and demand their rights, but they can't because we've nearly wiped them all out. We must get our numbers and impacts down before they are all gone.
Thanks, Tony. A bit of hope in this very discouraging situation. Yes, as Dusti says below, human dysfunction is the biggest problem we face. Can we courageously confront and correct our worst tendencies?

Another wonderful person working on this topic in a different way, is Barbara Williams. She interacts with Parliament in the UK, providing them with creative input, which can be enjoyed at https://poemsforparliament.uk/?fbclid=IwAR2WNByInGF0UM6d1E574YYOT_NnJfUCccPAJXQVJvaG78TM7NHHxR7JSIQ
We humans are the arbiters of justice on the planet to other humans and to non-human others. Change starts as Maslow's hierarchy, with ourselves.
In an intelligent world, these recommendations would be top priority. Yes, Barbara Williams is also another hero of mine.

We better. There is so much life and beauty in this world that is at stake!
