The World Government
9d) The Knowledge Division

27 Jan 2025
 
The Councils of the Knowledge Division

The Knowledge Division is initiated with two councils:

The categories in the World Databases

The databases could have an Internet address of something similar to:
World / Documents

The suggested categories for the Databases are:

The Databases Council
 
The World Databases

The Databases Council is responsible for maintaining the World Databases, which provide the world with on-line educational information for schools, and information for adults and organizations about products, medicines, health, history, and science. Those databases replace all of the paper encyclopedias, reference books, dictionaries, user's manuals, and school books.

The World Databases provide the information that everybody in the world should have access to, whereas the cities maintain databases that have information that is specific to their city and culture.

The Databases Council is required to design the World Databases to be useful, rather than entertaining. They are prohibited from providing fiction, comedy routines, jokes, pornography, or other entertainment information, which is happening as of 2024 with the online encyclopedias.

For example, the main page of the Encyclopaedia Britannica has such entertainment entries as Trending Quizzes and Featured Games. The main page of the Wikipedia has such entertainment entries as: On This Day and Did You Know.

Each city has the right to experiment with their culture, so each city decides if they want to support those type of entertainment activities. The World Government is prohibited from influencing the culture of the cities. They cannot promote or discourage any particular recreational activity, clothing style, holiday celebration, or other custom. They can only get involved with a city if they believe it is causing trouble for the world.

The Databases Council is required to provide information in a passive manner. They cannot encourage people to learn anything in particular, or provide quizzes or games. Their purpose is to provide educational information, not to entertain or manipulate people.

Everybody has free access to the databases through the Internet and cell phones. Eventually robots will be so advanced that we can access the databases through them.

Each city maintains databases that have information that is specific to their city, such as their laws and holidays, but the cities cannot maintain their own databases of educational information, medicines, or other topics that should be identical for everybody in the world.

All of the schools in every city must get their educational information from the World Databases in order to ensure that all children have the same educational information.

Likewise, all of the people and organizations in every city will use the World Databases to get the same information about medicines, products, history, and science.

The reason everybody must get information from the World Databases is to prevent a problem that has been occurring all throughout history; specifically, children getting different, and often deliberately deceptive, information about history, religion, evolution, psychology, nutrition, medicines, and other issues.

By setting higher standards for information, and requiring all children to be taught from the same databases, everybody will learn the same information, and the information will be more honest.

However, the human race is extremely ignorant about a lot of issues, and that causes lots of disagreements on which information is more accurate. For example, there are tremendous disagreements on nutrition, health, how the universe was created, what happened to the dinosaurs, and what the differences are between men and women and different races.

Since there are lots of disagreements on which information is more accurate, instead of picking one person's opinion to be correct, the Databases Council must be more honest and point out that there are different speculations.

For example, the World Databases cannot claim that the universe was created in a Big Bang. Instead, the Databases Council must be honest and admit that nobody has any idea how the universe was created, and that the Big Bang is just one of many speculations.

Likewise, the World Databases cannot claim that olive oil is healthier than other oils. Instead, the Databases Council must admit that nobody knows much about this issue. Rather than claim that one oil is healthier, they must describe the different speculations.

The World Databases must take a passive role in providing information, rather than have the arrogant attitude that they are providing the only correct information.

Authors are held accountable

The only people allowed to put information in the World Databases are those who qualify to be City Elders, and none of them can provide information anonymously. Every person who provides information must identify himself as the author so that he can be held accountable for what he provides.

The Databases Council has the responsibility and authority to pass judgment on whether those authors are providing useful information, and if not, they have the authority to edit or remove it.

The Databases Council also has the authority to pass judgment on whether an author has posted so many low-quality, inaccurate, or worthless documents that he loses his privilege.

Authors are pressured to put effort into their documents

Democracies and free enterprise systems pander to us, so they give us the freedom to say almost anything we please. Nobody is held accountable for what they say, and nobody is required to fix mistakes in their documents.

This freedom allows us to be sloppy, lazy, and arrogant. We can also make claims that don't have supporting evidence, such as the people who tell us which foods are the healthiest, or the proper way to raise children.

We also have the freedom to use words that we don't have a good understanding of. For example, as of 2024, there are thousands of authors providing us with information about "processed" foods, "ultra processed" foods, "organic" foods, and "natural" foods, but what is an "organic" food, and where is the evidence that it is better than "non-organic" food?

We do better work when we are under pressure, so one of the purposes of the Databases Council is to put authors under pressure to control their arrogance, put some effort into understanding the words they use, and be less vague and confusing. The Databases Council is not passive in regards to authors. Rather, they are in the role of a schoolteacher who is judging an essay of a student.

Example #1: Organic fertilizers

The US government allows a food to be described as "organic" if it was fertilized with sewage sludge, but not if it was fertilized from potassium and phosphorus from the earth, and nitrogen from the air. Nobody in the government is required to explain how sewage is organic, but not potassium from the earth.

One of the complaints about the artificial fertilizers is that they have
"caused environmental consequences such as water pollution and eutrophication due to nutritional runoff."

However, that problem could be because those fertilizers are less expensive than organic fertilizers, which increases the chances that farmers use too much of it. Also, those fertilizers are more "potent" compared to organic fertilizers, which require months to decompose.

That particular problem can be reduced in various ways, such as designing the fertilizer to require more time to break down, or by applying small amounts of fertilizer more often rather than a large amount at one time.

Therefore, we should investigate the possibility that artificial fertilizers can be as beneficial as organic fertilizers when used properly. Until that issue has been resolved, nobody is allowed to make the claim that organic fertilizers are healthier for living creatures or better for the planet.

Example #2: Processed food

All existing cultures provide us with the freedom to criticize "processed" foods, but nobody is required to provide a sensible scientific explanation for what "processed food" is, or why it is unhealthy.

We could describe vitamin pills as "highly processed" foods, or as an artificial food, or as an unnatural food. Cocoa is a processed food, and so is vanilla extract. Maple syrup could be described as "processed tree sap", and honey could be described as "highly processed flower nectar".

Businesses produce "cold-pressed" coconut oil by "processing" coconuts. Miso has been highly processed by both bacteria and humans, and yeast bread, sourdough bread, sauerkraut, and beer has been processed by both humans, bacteria, and yeast.

Since no culture cares about the quality of the information we are provided, there are millions of people making contradictory, confusing, and vague claims about "processed" foods and "ultra processed" foods.

The Databases Council has the responsibility and authority to pass judgment on the information that authors provide to the database,  and ensure the information and meet high standards. If an author wants to claim that a processed food is unhealthy, the Databases Council is required to pass judgment on whether he is providing adequate details on what a "processed food" is, and providing sensible evidence to support his theory. They can demand that an author either edit his documents to improve it, or delete it.

The information in the World Databases must meet high standards. Authors do not have the freedom to say whatever they please.

People have a "responsibility of speech"

This constitution does not give people the right or the freedom to provide the public with whatever information they please about food, health, history, the extinction of the dinosaurs, raising children, abortion, or any other issue. Everybody is required to ensure that the information they provide to the public is as sensible as possible.

Instead of giving people "freedom of speech", people have a responsibility to ensure that their information is beneficial. Everybody is required to admit when they are speculating about an issue, and when they are providing information that is supported by evidence.

We depend upon "experts"

All of us are ignorant, biased, and arrogance, but some people are more knowledgeable about certain issues, and are better able to control their bias and arrogance. We refer to those people "experts", and we depend upon them to help us make decisions.

For example, when we need to make a decision about medical issues or repairing a computer, we want to get information from an "expert", not from an ordinary person, and especially not from an ignorant or mentally ill person.

Unfortunately, most people make terrible decisions about who is an expert, just as they make terrible decisions about who to elect to the government, and who to marry. For example, millions of people assume that the Pope is an expert on life.

When I first began making the accusation that the World Trade Center towers were demolished with explosives, some Jews would try to intimidate me, and fool people into ignoring me, by insulting me with such remarks as, "What do you know about explosives or demolitions? You're not an expert on those issues!"

Eventually other people began posting comments on the Internet about the buildings being demolished with explosives, and if one of those people was an architect, the Jews would respond, "You're not an expert in engineering!" If an engineer posted a comment, the Jews would respond, "You're not an expert in architecture!"

No matter who said the World Trade Center towers were demolished with explosives, the Jews would respond that he was not an "expert".

Prehistoric people had so little knowledge that children learned all of it without going to school. Every prehistoric adult was an expert on every issue. Today we have so much knowledge that nobody can learn more than a small fraction of it. Nobody can be an expert on anything other than a few issues. Furthermore, none of the experts have all of the answers to the issues that they are experts about.

It is important for us to understand this concept so that we are not manipulated by people who insult somebody for not being an expert. Specifically, nobody is truly an expert on anything. The most intelligent and educated scientist is simply "less ignorant" about a particular subject than the public. Furthermore, all scientists make mistakes and are biased, and some of them have been caught lying to us because they want to, or because they were being pressured by a crime network.

This is similar to the concept that nobody is truly "intelligent". Every human is a monkey with a faulty memory and a crude intellectual ability. A person is intelligent only if we compare him to somebody who is less intelligent. Instead of describing a person as "intelligent", we could say that he is "less stupid" than the majority of people.

Likewise, no human is truly "tall" or "short" unless we compare him to somebody who is a different height.

The people who do not have a good understanding of this concept can easily be fooled by selfish, dishonest, and abusive people.

For example, there are some people claiming to be experts on "privacy" and "bioethics", and they tell us that we should keep DNA private and personal.

When one of us claims that a DNA database would be beneficial, they insult us for not being qualified to speak on that issue because we are not an expert on it.

Who is qualified to provide an opinion about DNA databases? Who is qualified to raise children? Who is qualified to be the leader of a nation, or a journalist, or a college professor? Who is qualified to give us opinions about abortion, crime, feminism, or the bombing of Iran? Who is qualified to provide opinions about the documents that I have written?

Everybody could be described as being so ignorant, having so little intelligence, and having so little control over their emotions, that all of us need help in making decisions about who to regard as a role model, who to choose as a spouse, what our meals should be, and whether we should create a culture that doesn't use money.

Unfortunately, there is no supreme being to provide us with help. The only help we can get is from other imperfect, biased people, and all they can do is put pressure on us to develop our opinions, and give us constructive criticism.

The Databases Council is in the role of a quality control agency to put everybody is under pressure to justify their opinions, avoid insults, listen to constructive criticism, and fix their mistakes. People must justify their opinions with scientific evidence, not by boasting about how many documents or books they have written or edited, or by how many college diplomas they have.

Having an education or being intelligent does not qualify a person as an "expert". There are lots of educated and intelligent people who have serious mental disorders, and who are untrustworthy, selfish, or violent. And there are some stupid people who are responsible, dependable and honest.

A stupid human is a genius compared to all other animals. If we had a robot that had the intelligence of a stupid human, we would be astounded by its incredible abilities.

The Databases Council passes judgment on the people providing information to the databases, and if they determine that a person is routinely providing inaccurate information, they can let the city know about it so the city officials can consider whether they want to disqualify him as a City Elder, journalist, government official, scientist, doctor, or other influential position.

Everybody is encouraged to improve the format

Each of the online encyclopedias in the world as of 2025, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Wikipedia, have slightly different formats. To initiate the city and world databases, they will follow the Wikipedia format, but everybody is encouraged to post their suggestions on how to improve the format to make the information easier to find and understand. Whoever can find improvements to the format gets credit for it.


/Language

No nation has an authority for language, and this results in children picking up slightly different pronunciations for words. This problem is so extreme in Britain that Americans have trouble understanding some of the British people.

The lack of an authority for languages is also causing different people to have different definitions for words. For example, Mark Cuban said that the word that annoys him the most is "cohort", and that we should use the word "group" instead.

Although some people claim that "cohort" and "group" are synonyms, other people, such as The Content Authority, claim that they are different.

Scientists use the word "cohort" to refer to a group of people who share something in common, rather than a group of random people, but my interpretation of "cohort" was that it referred to people who support or assist each other in a crime or other destructive behavior.

For example, I would describe Ghislaine Maxwell as a "cohort" of Jeffrey Epstein. Some of the people who worked with Epstein were undoubtedly honest people, in which case they would have been his "business associates" or "friends" rather than his "cohorts".

This Oxford dictionary has two definitions for cohort, and one has the word "disapproving" in parentheses, which I assume means that "cohort" is used to disapprove of a person, which is similar to my interpretation of the word.

Since there is no authority for language, every person is learning slightly different meanings and pronunciations for words. In order to prevent this problem, the Databases Council is the world's authority for language.

Another reason why we need an authority for language is to prevent people from getting into arguments, or wasting their time on discussions, because they have different or vague definitions for their words. An example is the "philosophical" question:
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

That question is no more philosophical or intelligent than the questions:
If a peach tree has peaches that nobody eats, can any of them be "delicious"?

If some Jews murdered Peter Kawaja,
but nobody has possession of his dead body, did the Jews commit a "murder"?

The people who discuss those questions are actually discussing the definition of a particular word, but their ignorance about language causes them to assume that they are discussing some intelligent, philosophical concept.

In order to answer those questions, we must make an arbitrary decision about how we want to define the words "sound", "delicious", and "murder". If we define "delicious" to be the stimulation of certain emotions in the human brain, then a peach that nobody eats cannot be "delicious".

If we define a "murder" to be the possession of the body of a person who was killed by another person, but not in self-defense or by accident, then a person cannot be a murderer without a dead body.

If we define "sound" to refer to the stimulation of a particular section of the human brain, then a falling tree, a waterfall, and a roaring lion do not make a sound if no human hears it. If we define "sound" to be the stimulation of a particular section of any animal brain, then a falling tree makes a sound if any animal hears it.

There is no authority for language to determine what the word "sound" represents, so children are picking up slightly different and vague definitions. Also, every school system is giving children an inaccurate understanding of language.

The ignorance about language is causing us to be unaware that we have different definitions, which results in us frequently getting into worthless "philosophical discussions" about words we don't understand very well, such as freedom, rights, diversity, equality, oppression, and stereotypes. There are some people arguing over whether a particular person is a "man" or a "woman".

In 2018, Elon Musk posted a brief message that he was a socialist:
By the way, I am actually a socialist. Just not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm. True socialism seeks greatest good for all.

Some people responded with angry or sarcastic remarks. For example, a person who refers to himself as Vanilla Robot is eating a fancy woke sandwich, and who describes himself as an autistic vegan who is "not a woman", responded by announcing that Elon Musk is not a socialist:
You chose to launch a car into space rather than trying to end world hunger and preventable infant deaths.
You, sir, are no socialist.

Two reasons that we get into arguments about socialism, freedom, feminism, and other words are:

1)
Our natural reaction to problems is to either become angry, or run away.

People should respond to Elon Musk's remark by asking him for details on what he regards socialism to be. The people who reacted with angry comments were reacting like an animal that is biting, kicking, and growling.

That animal behavior is detrimental today, and those people should not qualify as City Elders. We need to reduce the number of those people in every generation.



2)

Our schools do such a terrible job of teaching people about language that most people don't realize that each of us has slightly different definitions for many words, and that we occasionally get into arguments because of differences in our definitions rather than because of differences in our opinions.


How many people realize that each of us has a different image of socialism?
That person who describes himself as Vanilla Robot has a particular image in his mind of what socialism is, and Elon Musk has a particular, but different, image of what socialism is, and other people have a slightly different image of socialism in their minds.

The people who argue about socialism are assuming that their particular definition is the same as everybody else's, but, in reality, they are arguing about slightly different concepts.

Our concept of socialism is just a collage of pieces of information that we picked up during our life, and only a few people have put effort into analyzing that collage and trying to create a sensible explanation of socialism. If everybody was required to produce a document to explain what socialism is, and what is good or bad about it, most people would struggle to produce more than a paragraph.

Whether socialism is good or bad depends upon our personal emotional desires, and how we want to define the word. To Vanilla Robot, socialism is trying to end world hunger and preventable infant deaths. However, that is such a crude definition that it is worthless.

Everybody wants to eliminate world hunger, but we have different ideas on how to end world hunger. For example, some people believe that we can stop hunger by giving rice to hungry people; some people propose increasing welfare payments;  and other people suggest educating the hungry people. This constitution promotes restricting reproduction to the people who are in better mental and physical health, and keeping the population at a level that provides everybody with plenty of land, food, water, and clean air.

Likewise, everybody wants to stop "preventable" infant deaths, but are there any infants dying of "preventable" causes?

Vanilla Robot is accusing Elon Musk of ignoring preventable infant deaths, but he has no evidence that infants are dying of preventable deaths, or that Elon Musk is ignoring those deaths. Vanilla Robot should be accused of slander, or of hate speech.

Accusing Elon Musk of ignoring preventable infant deaths without any evidence to support that accusation is as unacceptable as accusing him of ignoring preventable adult deaths, or ignoring preventable airplane accidents.

There is evidence that Elon Musk is ignoring the slander that he is receiving from people like Vanilla Robot, but there is no evidence that he is ignoring the preventable deaths of infants.

There is also evidence that Elon Musk is trying to stop the pedophile network that is operating in our governments, media, and businesses. That would explain why there have been so many people with such an intense hatred of him during the past few years, and especially now (January 2025) that he is working with President Trump. It would also explain why some people would want to explode a Tesla Cybertruck next to a Trump Hotel.

In order to improve the world, we need to analyze and discuss issues. This requires that we have enough of an education about language to be able to figure out when we are arguing about a definition, and when we are discussing a concept.

The lack of leadership in language is also allowing businesses to manipulate us with vague and confusing words and phrases. The Ben & Jerry's company is an example. In 2025 they released this video in which they provided a variety of phrases about what the company is involved with, such as:

advocate for progressive social change

dismantle white supremacy

fight for our democracy
restore the right to vote for people who were formally incarcerated in Florida
support of refugee rights in the UK
There is no authority to force them to explain what those expressions mean. Those expressions are so vague that they should be considered meaningless. For example:

White supremacy
There is no authority to demand that they explain what "white supremacy" is, how we determine if a person has white supremacy, how we should stop it, or why we should stop it.

There is also no authority to force them to explain whether we should try to stop other types of supremacy, such as "brown supremacy", "Khazarian supremacy", "female supremacy", or "midget supremacy".

Progressive social change, and fighting for democracy.
These expressions are so meaningless that people can use them for conflicting purposes. For example, a person could boast that he advocates progressive social change, and is fighting for our democracy, by opposing the murder of unborn children and giving those children the right to life.

Another person could boast that he advocates for progressive social change, and is fighting for our democracy, by supporting a woman's right and freedom to have abortions.

Those expressions make it appear as if a person is a hero who is helping to improve life, but they are like coloring books that we foolishly interpret in whatever manner we please, rather than demand that the person provide us with a sensible explanation of what he is saying.
Formally incarcerated.
This expression is an attempt to deceive us into giving pity to "criminals". It is as idiotic as referring to "fat" people as "plus" people; "skinny" people as "minus" people; "midgets" as "little people"; and children who do badly in school as "intellectually challenged" or "slow".

These alternative expressions do not improve life for anybody. Instead, they cause our language to become more confusing than it already is.
Support refugee rights.
The people who boast that they support "refugee rights" could be accused of oppressing the rights of the native citizens.

By not having an authority for language, and not having standards for information, businesses such as Ben & Jerry's can boast about being heroes when in reality they are using vague and confusing words in an attempt to alter our attitudes and culture.

For example, they are actively involved in encouraging pity for criminals. This document has the title, “Saying "I Love You" Shouldn’t Cost A Thing: Inside the Overpriced World of Prison Phone Calls", and this document has the title: "Every Kid Has the Right to Hug Their Parent: Tell Jails to Reinstate In-Person Visits". That article claims that the children cannot hug their parents "because of corporate greed" and "because private companies and local authorities want to maximize profits".

They don't provide any supporting evidence for their accusations, but no culture cares whether people can support their accusations of greed, white supremacy, anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, or Holocaust denial.

The Schools Ministry should use Ben & Jerry's as one of the examples of the problems that occur when a society doesn't have any concern about the quality of information, doesn't care whether people have supporting evidence for their accusations or boastful remarks, and doesn't care whether people have different definitions for words.

The management at Ben & Jerry's are not trying to help us understand why crimes are occurring, or how we can reduce crime. Rather, they are trying to make us feel sorry for criminals and become angry at the authorities and corporations.


The Ben & Jerry's executives are trying to fool us into treating them as heroes.
The Ben & Jerry's website and X channel have so many documents trying to change our attitudes and culture that they seem to be a Zionist organization that is trying to encourage fights and detrimental attitudes in order to help the Jews get control of us.

The Ben & Jerry's executives should be arrested for hate speech and false accusations.

The executives of Ben & Jerry's would be arrested if they were deliberately making poisoned ice cream, but they are allowed to provide us with poisoned information. Allowing businesses and citizens to do that is more idiotic than allowing them to give us poison medicines.

People today need a much better understanding of language, and we need an authority to ensure that people are using language in a respectable and sensible manner.

We must also make a distinction between when a person is "discussing" an issue, and when he is making insults or unsupported accusations, in which case he should be prohibited from the discussion, or arrested for slander or false accusations.


The only way to ensure everybody is using the same language is to have software teach it.
In order to ensure that everybody is using the same definitions and pronunciations, the Databases Council is required to develop computer software to teach English.

Since computers can have microphones and speakers, they can speak to the children and record the children. That will let the children know the proper pronunciation, and they will be able to listen to themselves to hear how accurately they are pronouncing words.

The Databases Council is also authorized to determine which words are considered to be slanderous. For example, they must consider white supremacist, white privilege, toxic masculinity, anti-Semitism, Holocaust denier, racist, and similar words to be slanderous.

The Databases Council is also required to be intolerant of loopholes. The people who use loopholes are taking advantage of our crude language. For example, this Constitution prohibits the accusation of "anti-Semitism", so a Jew might accuse somebody of being anti-Jewish, or anti-Khazarian. The Databases Council should regard that as a loophole, and it should not be tolerated.

The Databases Council has the authority to pass judgment on whether a person is truly confused by a word, in which case they should clarify its definition, or whether the person is only pretending to misinterpret the word in order to get away with undesirable behavior. If they determine the person is deliberately misinterpreting a word, then they can demand that his city officials give him an intellectual trial. By giving the Databases Council this authority, they can assist the cities with stopping people from using loopholes.

We should not develop a better language yet

All languages are crude, but we should not try to develop a more sensible language because we have much more important tasks to deal with. Besides, we don't have a very good understanding of language, or how our genetic characteristics affect our language, such as giving us a preference for certain pronunciations and grammar.

The Databases Council can make some trivial improvements to our language, such as eliminating duplicate words, and alter the spelling of some words to match the pronunciation, or change the pronunciation to match the spelling, but we should not attempt to create a superior language.

Our languages are so crude that they will need a tremendous amount of revision in order to make them orderly and sensible, and when we do that, all of the existing documents will need to be translated, but that will be such a difficult task that we should wait until computers have the ability to do it. Until then, we should accept and laugh at the irrational aspects of our language.


/History

The history database contains the history of the Earth and all of its living creatures. It also has information on how apes evolved into humans, and how our sports, religions, clothing, language, and other culture evolved from ape culture.

The cities are forbidden from producing their own historical information because we have a tendency to bias history to fit our particular emotional cravings and fantasies. Governments, religions, charities, think tanks, and other organizations have been routinely distorting history to fit their particular desires and fears. Furthermore, all nations have allowed Jews to alter and fabricate a lot of historical events.

All existing school systems treat history as if it is entertainment, but the incredible value of history can be seen by how governments, Jews, crime networks, charities, think tanks, religions, and other organizations compete with one another to give us a distorted version of history. If history had no value other than entertainment, then none of those organizations would want to alter history.

History provides us with an understanding of ourselves, other people, and our culture, so by altering the historical information, we can manipulate what people think about themselves, other people, their ancestors, and their culture.

This is not true of arithmetic, chemistry, or any other field. For example, no matter how much a person lies to us about chemistry, he cannot cause us to hate and attack a group of people. However, the lies that the Jews gave to us about the 9/11 attack caused millions of people around the world to hate a fictional group of Arab terrorists who live in caves in Afghanistan, and to support a war in Afghanistan.

Likewise, their lies about the history of slavery is causing millions of "white" people to feel guilty, and millions of African Americans to pout or hate the white Americans. There is no way the Jews could instigate such hatred and feelings of guilt by lying about zoology or arithmetic.

Furthermore, mistakes about history have a significant effect on our lives and attitudes. For example, for many thousands of years, people have been fabricating historical information about how the universe and humans came into existence. Their mistaken assumptions about history has resulted in hundreds of different religions, and has caused millions of people to fight and hate one another.

This constitution regards history as a valuable scientific knowledge, and to reduce the bias, mistakes, and lies, the Databases Council is the only group authorized to maintain historical information.

All of the cities and schools are required to use the historical database for education, and all of the documentaries and other educational materials for adults must also use that database.

Since the World Government consists of people who live in different cities, it will be difficult for a particular group of people to inadvertently bias, or deliberately manipulate, the historical information.

Furthermore, if somebody disagrees with any of the historical information, they are encouraged to post a document to explain it, and they will get credit for finding mistakes and biases.


/Laws

This category is for the "global" laws that the citizens and city governments follow in regards to their interaction with other cities, and their interaction with the global zone. Each city has its own database for its "local" laws that apply only to the people in or visiting that city.


/Elections

This is exactly the same as the elections category for the city government (here), but this is for the world government elections.


/Explanations

This category is for the World Government officials to post explanations of their policies. This will allow everybody to pass judgment on which of the officials are providing the best leadership, and which of them should be replaced.


/Suggestions

This is the same as the Suggestions category that a city maintains, except that it is restricted to "global" suggestions that affect more than one city.


/Requests

This is the same as the Requests database that a city maintains, except that it is restricted to requests from the World Government, most all of which will be directed to the cities rather than other departments of the World Government.


/Research

This database is for scientists around the world to post their research documents. Instead of scattering their documents in thousands of paper magazines and Internet sites, scientists will post all of their documents in this category. This will make it easier and faster for software to search through them.

/Health

This database is for scientists, dentists, doctors, and ministers to post information about foods, medicines, poisonous plants and insects, and health issues regarding recreational activities, jobs, and products. For example:



Health issues of recreational activities

The Databases Council maintains and continuously updates the statistics on the injuries of different activities. This information will be useful for all of the city officials who are involved with the supervision and creation of recreational activities. For example, it will allow the officials, and the citizens, to discover that horseback riding is causing more brain injuries to adults than boxing and American football.

The health database will allow the city officials and citizens to make better decisions about which activities they and their children should get involved with. It will also allow them to discover the dangerous aspects of the activity, which can help them avoid injuries.





Health issues of foods

The advice that we are being given about food is almost as contradictory and confusing as the advice on religion. Some examples of the confusing health information was described here and here. For three new examples:

1)
Some people claim that sprouted sorghum is healthy, but other people claim that sprouting sorghum causes it to develop lethal amounts of hydrogen cyanide.



2)

Some people recommend taking high doses of vitamin A supplements, but some people in this BBC documentary claim that high doses can cause osteoporosis and cancer.



3)

Some people claim that we will improve our health by taking vitamin D supplements, but other people, such as the "Nutrition Detective", claims that it will cause our body to calcify into a statue.

The reason there are so many disagreements about health is because we are so ignorant about human health that we have no way of proving or disproving anybody's theory about health, which allows everybody to assume that they are experts on health. This results in us creating a wide variety of conflicting theories.

One purpose for the Databases Council is to put pressure on authors to control their arrogance and be more honest about their ignorance. When an author doesn't know a lot about a particular issue, he must admit to that. For example, nobody knows which type of fat is the best for human health, so an author cannot claim that olive oil, coconut oil, or butter is the healthiest fat, and he cannot claim that lard, corn oil, or beef fat is going to ruin our health.

Furthermore, nobody knows if a particular oil is inherently unhealthy because of its chemical structure, or if it becomes unhealthy with certain processing techniques. For example, is corn oil unhealthy for humans? Or is corn oil unhealthy only when we heat it to high temperatures, or only when it is exposed to oxygen for certain periods of time?

The reason that we believe that we are experts on everything is because our brain evolved to help us survive and reproduce, not for scientific analyses. An animal's brain evolved to make rapid decisions according to whatever information it has at the time.

For example, when when an animal encounters a predator, it must make a rapid decision based on whatever information it has at the time. An animal would be eaten if it had a desire to spend time thinking about what to do.

If our brain had been designed for scientific research, then we would have a desire to gather information before making decisions. We would also enjoy looking critically at our opinions and trying to improve them, and we would want and appreciate the critical analyses of other people.

However, no animal brain cares about the quality of its information, or whether it has enough information to make a sensible decision. Instead, our brain evolved to assume that whatever information we know about is all we need to know, and to regard critical opinions as an attack.

Therefore, the only way we can produce a useful database about health is to restrict the officials who maintain the database to those who have been educated about our mental characteristics, and who will demand that authors resolve conflicts. This requires them to put authors under pressure to control their arrogance and be honest about which of their theories are speculation and which have supporting evidence.





Dangers of products

Almost every product has a potential danger, but it is detrimental to put a warning label on every dangerous product because that can cause us to ignore the warnings, as in the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

A more sensible solution is for the Databases Council to maintain a list of every product. That database would have all of the information about the products, and their potential dangers. The products would only need a barcode to give us easy access to the database.


Labels for dangerous items only need a simple description, a skull, and a barcode.
For example, instead of a container of sulfuric acid having a label that uses a tiny font to provide information about its potential dangers, the label would have some type of warning image, such as a skull, and a barcode.

By scanning the barcode, a person would access the entry for that product in the World Database, and that would give them access to as much detail as he wanted.

Businesses cannot keep secrets, so all of the information that they develop about their products belongs to the human race and is put in the World Databases. This provides everybody with all of the details of every product.

However, businesses cannot provide any type of sales propaganda. For example, the document that describes Clorox Disinfecting Bleach starts with:
"You wouldn’t hire a kinda-respectable babysitter or eat kinda-fresh sushi..."

The businesses are required to provide useful information about their products, so the information about bleach must resemble an encyclopedia description.

Businesses are also required to be honest about the potential dangers and disadvantages of the product, such as what effect the bleach has on our skin, nose, lungs, and eyes.

Since all of the businesses must put all of their product information in the World Databases, everybody is able to access all of the details. Most people will not care about the details, but some students, doctors, scientists, and engineers will want to access that information. Instead of asking the businesses for the information, they will look in the World Databases.

The products that have no significant danger to the City Elders would not have warning labels. For example, the City Elders are expected to understand that they should not give plastic bags to young children to play with, so plastic bags would not be printed with such warnings as: "Warning! This bag is not a toy. Do not give this bag to children."

Eventually robots will be able to access the World Databases. That will allow them to answer our questions about products, give us advice on how to use a product, and warn us about potential dangers.

That would be much better than what we have to do today, which is search through thousands of Internet sites and documents that contradict one another.





The use of medical drugs

No society yet has a database of medical drugs, so when doctors prescribe drugs, they often have to spend some time explaining to their patient how to use the drug, and what its side effects are.

Furthermore, almost every package of drugs has a sheet of paper with instructions. Those of us who get drugs repeatedly throughout our lives end up getting the same sheets of instructions over and over.

It is a waste of a doctor's time to explain how to use the medical drugs, and it is a waste of our labor and resources to print the instructions on paper.

There are some websites that provide information about drugs, but some of the information is contradictory.

To improve this situation, all of the medical drugs must be listed in the Health Database. Whenever a doctor prescribes a drug, the patient is responsible for looking in the database to learn how to use the drug, and learn about its side effects. That allows us to access whatever level of detail we want.





Explanations of medical procedures

America, Britain, and other nations require surgeons to explain the dangers of surgery to their patients, and get their signature on a document that shows that they know the dangers of the surgery. That is a waste of a surgeon's time, and it wastes paper and requires storage in filing cabinets.

To improve this situation, the Databases Council is responsible for ensuring that the health database has information about CT scans, MRI scans, appendix removal, hip replacements, and all other types of medical and dental procedures. The information must be serious, however, not designed to promote any type of medical procedure.

Every patient is responsible for using the health database to learn about whatever procedure he is considering. The doctors and dentists do not have to waste their time explaining the procedures to their patients, or getting their signatures on documents to show that the patient understands the risks.





Medical education

The health database must be so detailed that schools can use it for the medical education, and doctors, nurses, dentists, and other medical personnel can use it to learn about the latest drugs, equipment, and medical procedures, as well as the latest discoveries in nutrition, allergies, and diseases.

This constitution does not provide anybody with secrecy, so the health database can have video and photographs of the medical procedures of real people. The authors of health information do not have to ask a person for permission to use photos or video of his medical procedures.

Information about us is "public", not "private". Everybody is a team member, and everybody belongs to the human race. Everybody has the right to learn about humans, and nobody has a right to be secretive or deceptive. The medical information about other people is important to all of us because we are all related to each other.

Furthermore, this Constitution requires people to control their sexual inhibitions to such an extent that medical information and photos do not have to censor any of the sexual related information.

The faces and names of people in the medical photos and video cannot be censored, either, because censoring faces and names will result in children assuming that there is a good reason to censor that information.

We will create a more sensible and pleasant social environment when everybody is encouraged to be honest about themselves, rather than secretive and ashamed. We should appreciate the people who provide us with information about their medical problems, rather than laugh at them or insult them. And we should allow them to learn from our medical problems.

This Constitution regards each person as a team member who lives for a very brief moment in time, and everybody is required to contribute to the team. If doctors, dentists, scientists, or ministers believe that somebody's medical or dental problem would be useful for research or education, then they should put his information into the health database so that it can be used by schools, scientists, and doctors.

Everybody's health information is regarded as valuable knowledge about the human race. Our health information is considered to be educational information for the entire world and the future generations, not "private" information.


/Engineering

When businesses are competing to develop products, they keep their technology a secret, but at the end of the time period that they were allocated for development, all of their work goes into the public domain, and then the development cycle repeats. The Engineering database is where all of the engineering diagrams, technical data, software source code, software libraries, videos, and test data is posted.

The Engineering database gives everybody in the world access to the technical achievements of the human race. This makes it much easier for people to improve an existing product, or to learn about how something developed, or to create documentaries about technology.

The database will also have the failed experiments to help people avoid making the same mistakes. The engineers are prohibited from hiding their failures.


/Earth

The Earth database is similar to the City database that each city provides for itself, except that the Earth database provides information about the Earth and the universe.

It contains serious, scientific information for both adults and students. It will have have all of our knowledge about geography, dinosaurs, trees, volcanoes, and other aspects of the Earth.

All of the sensors that are monitoring the Earth will send their data to this database. When a person wants a weather forecast, or the current levels of dust or pollen in the atmosphere, he can look in this database for whichever region of the Earth he is interested in.

This database will also have the data from cameras that are observing glaciers, sensors that are monitoring volcanoes, data from seismic sensors, and video from satellites.


/Products

Businesses are producing paper and electronic documents to explain how to use and repair their products, but the electronic documents are scattered all over the Internet, and the paper documents are often discarded by customers or put somewhere in their house and forgotten, or eaten by silverfish and other creatures.

To make it easier for people to find information about products, the Databases Council maintains a database for every businesses in the world to put all of their documentation for all products and medicines.

As mentioned in the section about bleach (above), the Databases Council is required to ensure that information meet high standards. The businesses must provide serious and detailed information, not sales propaganda. For example, it is a waste of our time to read such remarks as: "Thank you for choosing our product!"

Those type of remarks are useful for manipulating consumers in a free enterprise system, but it is "information trash". Every minute we spend reading that type of material is so minute of our life that was wasted. We are also wasting our memory cells when we put that information in our minds.

The Databases Council is also required to reduce the confusion about concepts that scientists are unsure about. For example, we get conflicting advice on the charging of lithium batteries. If scientists cannot agree on the best policy for charging lithium batteries, then the Databases Council must be honest and admit that there are different speculations.

The Products Database will have all the technical details, schematics, source code, drawings, and other data about all of the products and software. This will allow everybody to learn about the products, and look for ways to improve them.
The Data Quality Council

Ensure that all cities provide beneficial information

One purpose for the Data Quality Council is to help the Databases Council maintain the quality of information in the World Databases, but its main purpose is to pass judgment on the quality and accuracy of the information that the city governments are providing to their citizens. This provides some checks and balances over the cities.

The reason this is useful is because we are biased in favor of the people in our group. Since the Data Quality Council consists of people from different cities, they can provide a more impartial view of the accuracy of the information that the people within a particular city are providing to one another.

The Data Quality Council can pass judgment on the value of the information that businesses, journalists, schools, and other organizations are providing, including the information that citizens are providing.

For example, the schools in every city must create their curriculum with the educational information that the Databases Council provides, but every city can adjust the curriculum to fit their particular jobs and culture. The Data Quality Council is authorized to ensure that the schools are providing students with accurate and beneficial information.

The Data Quality Council can also analyze any document or video produced by any citizen or organization, and pass judgment on whether it is acceptable, or whether it should be classified as deceptive, detrimental, an unsupported accusation, an insult, a mistake, or nonsensical.

If the Data Quality Council believes somebody is merely making a mistake, they have the authority to demand that it be corrected, and if the author does not want to do it, or has died, then they have the authority to do it.

However, if the Data Quality Council concludes that a person is deliberately trying to deceive or manipulate people, then they can demand the city conduct an information trial for that person to determine whether he has indeed deliberately tried to manipulate people, and if so, whether he should be sent to the City of Exiles, put on restrictions, or executed.

The reason the Knowledge Division dominates information

The Data Quality Council is given the highest level of authority for information so that they can prevent a problem that is occurring all around the world, and all throughout history. This problem has been discussed in many sections of this constitution and in other documents.

To summarize it, citizens, organizations, and governments are regularly censoring information, promoting propaganda, repeating mistaken information, and making senseless accusations. However, none of the existing cultures hold people accountable for what they say, or require anybody to fix their mistakes or lies.

In order to provide people with higher quality information, the Data Quality Council can pass judgment on information, and demand information trials for people they suspect of being deceptive.

Furthermore, everybody is encouraged to post complaints in the Suggestions category about information that they consider misleading, confusing, inadequate, biased, or verbose. The Data Quality Council is authorized to investigate the complaints and pass judgment on:

1)
The value of the information

Documents are to be judged by their value to society, not according to typos, grammatical mistakes, visual appearance, emotional appeal, or errors that are so minor that they can be corrected without changing the information provided by the document.

An analogy with medicine is that medicine should be judged according to its value to us, not according to the visual image of the bottle, or whether the label has grammatical errors. The most important aspect of medicine is that it be useful. The packaging can be changed without altering the value of the medicine.

If the Data Quality Council determines that some information is inaccurate, they can demand that it be corrected, or they can correct it themselves. If they determine some information is idiotic, they can move it to the Deleted category.



2)

The motives of the author

If the Data Quality Council determines that information is inaccurate, they must pass judgment on whether the author made an honest mistake, or was deliberately trying to deceive or manipulate people. They are also required to look at the history of that author to determine whether he has frequently posted information that is mistaken or deceptive.

When the Data Quality Council determines that a person has posted a lot of useless or deceptive information, they have three options, depending upon what type of information the person has been posting. The three categories of information are:

a)
Useless information.
If a person tends to post useless information, the Data Quality Council can have computers tag everything he posts as low-quality. The software that searches the databases must have an option to ignore the material that has been tagged as low-quality.



b)

Idiotic information.
If a person tends to post idiotic information, such as the Flat Earth theory, the Data Quality Council can cancel his privilege to post on the government sites.



c)

Deceptive information.
If the Data Quality Council suspect that a person is deliberately posting deceptive information, they can conduct an information trial to determine whether he should be put on restrictions, evicted to the city of exiles, or executed.
Qualifications for the Knowledge Division

Knowledge officials must qualify for their job

There is no way we can prove that a particular document is providing beneficial, accurate, or honest information. That conclusion is a person's opinion. Therefore, if we allow the Knowledge Division to be dominated by religious fanatics, Jews, Freudian psychologists, pedophiles, or crime network members, then we will have the type of deception and propaganda that we see in the world today.

How do we figure out who is qualified to be an official of the Knowledge Division? This is the same dilemma that every nation faces in regards to many other jobs. For example, how do we determine if somebody should be qualified to be a dentist, plumber, or pilot?

We require a person to take particular school courses and pass particular tests in order to qualify as a doctor, scientist, or truck driver, but no nation is applying this concept to government officials.

This constitution changes the situation by requiring the schools to experiment with a course in leadership. A school cannot guarantee that the graduates have excellent leadership abilities, but schools have proven to be better than nothing with all other jobs. Furthermore, by observing the performance of the graduates who become government officials, the schools will be able to improve the courses and tests.

Students should deal with real problems

The students who want to become government officials should be given exercises and tests that are realistic for the particular job that they want, as opposed to having them respond to fictional test questions. The reason is the same as why schools should give teenagers realistic problems to solve.

This Constitution assumes that students will be better prepared for jobs, and the schools will be better able to judge their talent, when the students have to deal with real problems.

The students who want to work in the Knowledge Division must make better-than-average decisions about the accuracy and value of information, so they should be given practice in analyzing real issues.

Furthermore, the students should deal with issues that are occurring at the time they are in school, rather than historical issues that have already been analyzed by previous students, or by government officials. That will prevent the students from being influenced by previous analyses.

Examples of test questions

Here are three examples of the type of exercises that students would be given if they  are interested in becoming officials of the Knowledge Division:

1)
Healthcare

A previous document provided links (here) to two different articles that claim that wealthy people are in better health than poor people because they can afford better medical care.

The students would be told to analyze one of those documents and pass judgment on its value, and analyze the history of the author and pass judgment on whether he tends to create beneficial or worthless information.

That type of test makes the students deal with real issues and real authors, rather than fantasy issues.

By comparing their analyses, the teacher will be able to pass judgment on which of them is showing the most potential for being an effective official in the Knowledge Division.


2)

Shiitake mushrooms, part 1

The students could be given a link to this document that was posted by the Mankato Clinic in Minnesota. That document has the following warnings:


Never eat shiitake mushrooms raw.

Cook shiitakes for at least 5-7 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.

Mushrooms must reach an internal cooking temperature of 266-293 degrees Fahrenheit.

To make sure shiitakes are fully cooked, insert a candy thermometer into the meaty center of the mushroom. Candy thermometers go up to temperatures of 400 degrees and are available for as little as $10 on Amazon and at local hobby stores that carry candy-making supplies.

The students would be told to pass judgment on the value of that document. The students would have to spend time researching shiitake mushrooms, so the students would be given some number of days or weeks to analyze the issue before providing an answer.

The students would not try to provide a correct answer to the issue of how to cook mushrooms since we cannot expect anybody to have the correct answer to anything, other than some math problems. Instead, their goal would be to provide the most intelligent analysis of that document.

That type of exercise gives the students practice in doing the same tasks that the Knowledge Division officials and Courts Ministry officials must do when they analyze information and pass judgment on its value, accuracy, and honesty. That would also help the teachers determine which of the students are most likely to become beneficial government officials.



3)

Shiitake mushrooms, part 2

In addition to passing judgment on whether a document is beneficial or idiotic, the Knowledge Division officials must also pass judgment on the people who post documents. The purpose of judging the people is to determine if a person is posting so many worthless documents that his documents should be tagged as "low priority", or whether his documents are so idiotic that he loses his privilege to post on the government sites.

For example, somebody asked on Quora if it was safe to eat shiitake mushrooms every day. On 13 March 2023 the answer at the top of the list was from George Gates (a screen image is here in case that list is updated or edited):

Why eat anything every day?? Rotate all of the wonderful foods you eat. There are tons of fruits, meats, etc. that do good things. There is power in variety!

The students would be asked to pass judgment on whether George provided a useful answer to that particular question, and to look at George's answers to other questions and pass judgment on whether he is frequently posting beneficial, useless, or idiotic answers.

The students would be told to determine whether he has posted so many worthless responses that his documents should be tagged as low priority, or whether he has posted so many idiotic responses that he should have his posting privileges revoked in order to avoid wasting people's time.

That type of exercise would help the teachers determine which students are the best at analyzing a person's intellectual history and passing judgment on his ability to provide useful analyses and guidance, which is a talent that the officials in the Knowledge Division need.

Students can add questions to their test.

The current school systems do not let students add questions to a test, but the students who want to become government officials would be allowed to do so. The reason is that the ideal government official is a person who has such an strong interest in dealing with society's problems that he spends some of his leisure time thinking about them, and he occasionally develops an analysis that he believes is superior to that of the existing analyses.

This would be analogous to giving Isaac Newton a math test and allowing him to add questions to the test, in which case he might add, "What is the orbit of the planets?", and then he answers it by showing that the orbit is an ellipse.
