We all have an idea of cultural differences between the East and West and these will become more evident when Asgardia has better communication between its diverse membership I watch a myriad of news channels. Most mainstream have agendas and are heavily into propoganda . A very refreshing and relaxing channel is NHK world the Japanese english channel which is proportionately programmed to air many more cultural segments than the mainstream. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/culture/ OK yes they are promoting Japan by example but it is nice . Furthermore they look at traditional art , and artisans. the importance of this will increase as more leisure time or employment choice is created/;mandated by robotics Tech AI and UBI What are the pros of your culture that could be an example or lesson learned to those of other cultures and what are the things that should be discouraged?

Maligayang araw mga ka Asgardia! Kumusta naman kayo?

This subject is currently quite a hot topic and can be resolved if we get an offcial position or through a debate and an eventual decision!!! Are we fully inclusive? All people on Earth? .The good, the bad/ (subjective) ? Criminals , mentally impaired? Dangers to society? Communicable/ incurable illnesses? victims of addiction ? radical islamists or any num,ber of other recognised terrorist groups? Advocates of cultures and groups that are extreme ..and there are a lot of those..https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/groups If yes then we need to establish protocols for to deal with those considered a danger to themselves and others ( also subjective) If no then we need to define requirements and boundaries which allow participation / 'citizenship" An official position is required on this subject. and who is authorised to make a temporary or permanent "Official decision"?

Whilst work on constitution is important the biggest question for me as a starting point for this is defining and agreeing on our eventual goals. The "Concept" https://asgardia.space/en/page/concept needs considerable work to provide more detail . 1. Is non interventionist a realistic option ? " A core legal principle is that Asgardia does not interfere in relations between states on Earth – and vice versa. " We wish to be a member of the UN.. by definition this will mean we would have to take a position/vote (interfere) in relations between States. Would it be morally correct to continually abstain on issues that involve clear wrong doing or that adversely effect our citizens in their original Nation? 2 While "The essence of Asgardia is Peace in Space, and the prevention of Earth’s conflicts being transferred into space." but also "Asgardia is also unique from a philosophical aspect – to serve entire humanity and each and everyone, regardless of his or her personal welfare and the prosperity of the country where they happened to be born. " How do we serve the vast majority of our community and entire humanity by not working toward resolving their problems here on Earth? Should we use Tech to eradicate hunger, poverty , disease? Should these be some of our goals or is that not what we want to do? 3 Peace in space..! well if we read the posts on weaponizing space that is a) not happening and b) not within our current capability so how do we acheive that? Head in the sand will not achieve that . Would a world federal Govt system help with each Nation having a vote? This is what I consider the UN to be the start of but the big players do not want the restrictions so the UN continues to be toothless when it comes to enforcing issues against the interests of the big players. Should we support chnge in the UN or create a new body that has powers? Who would sign up for that? well it would need to be in a Nations interest which is either military protection or most likely Economic benefit. 3.The root cause of the vast majority of international disputes is money to buy things food , weapons materials machinery personal gain for Politicians etc..or power to get money. Should we have an aim for post scarity so that Money is no longer a divisive issue. If there was less need would migration/refugees be such an enormous issue? Space Law progress is impeded due to space capable Nations not wishing to lose existing and anticipated advantages both in economics and National security how do we change that? Why would they listen to us? The potential answer is - the right message/s which need to be conveyed constantly to every corner of the world. - Credibility.. the message needs to come from a group that is credible and we will need to achieve a lot of thiongs before credibility is established including a community of 10's or 100,s of millions where it is difficult for the big Nations to ignore ( the smaller Nations are mostly already alligned under the big 3-5 and will follw the lead so it is those that need to take notice of Asgardia - The Big players will not move unless they gain considerable clear advantage by doing so..What are we offering/proposing that is good for them? The altrustic aims we embrace are not shared by those players who operate in a competitive duplicitous and often corrupt and nepotistic world returning to the theme of need and greed? Should our goals be expanded to address the reality of the world we live in and find the solution or is that too much to ask of us? Based on that decision we can then create a constitution that embodies those goals and principles .....or immediately create a Constitution that has the ability to evlove which is probably the better option.
