Author’s note: This work is the culmination of approximately twenty years of learning, through practical experience, to reach a clear understanding about the status of our society in relation to our planet. This quest began long before AI was birthed, however as of the past year there was no question it is a critical, and pivotal, aspect to be included. It is discussed in some depth around how it can be harnessed for greater good, unique from any work I have seen.
This is for everyone, the world at large. It is a labor of love intended to provide a pragmatic, functional solution to our collective situation, and give rise to deeper thought leading to improvement of the work, or a better solution. My hope is that we find one, very soon.
It is lengthy by today’s standards, but necessary for the subject. For this reason I have provided a link to the PDF, rather than trying to post it all. Only the opening three sections are here in the body of this post.
I gratefully welcome any feedback and constructive criticism, and am honored in advance by anyone taking their valuable time to read and comment.
I am new here, this is my first post. I’ve endeavored to adhere to the guidelines. If I am off on any, please pardon me.

A Framework for Social Realignment through Economic, Ecological, and Cognitive Integration
Section I
1. What Is the Doctrine
We move through economic life daily—purchasing food, fueling vehicles, making choices in retail spaces that feel inconsequential. Yet these ordinary transactions constitute the primary mechanism through which modern economies either extract from or reciprocate with planetary systems. The question is whether that mechanism can be redirected without disrupting the lives built around it.
The Doctrine of Regenesis answers yes. It defines both the philosophy and operational structure of EarthCorp—a system in which economics and ecology converge through programs that transform ordinary living into acts of regeneration. This approach, called Economic Environmentalism, unites diverse theories and applications under one tenet: renewal as function of daily life, not future aspiration. Lasting solutions must be timely, practical, and self-perpetuating, beginning from a single premise: economics drives behavior; therefore, economics must be redesigned to drive regeneration.
When the measure of success becomes regeneration rather than consumption, markets evolve from competition for diminishing resources into cooperation for abundance. Regenesis represents that pivot—the deliberate shift from extractive economics to regenerative economics, where growth is measured by restored capacity, not exhausted value.
EarthCorp exists to make that transition plausible. It is not philanthropy reliant on moral will but a social mechanism designed to link ecological repair to economic participation until the two become indistinguishable. Regenesis offers a practical synthesis of philosophy → program → proof:
Philosophy: the ethical premise that survival depends on reciprocity.
Program: the structuring of reciprocity into trade, technology, and governance.
This transforms moral aspiration into pragmatic systemic function.
2. From Philosophy to Function
The Doctrine is neither abstraction nor manifesto; it is a living framework that operationalizes empathy, accountability, and value restoration through three cornerstone initiatives in a self-reinforcing loop:
Perception → Empathy (WOO – We Our One): Empathy mapping and social connection strengthen human alignment and acceptance, leading to collaboration.
Empathy → Exchange (EarthFood): A direct-exchange model linking consumers and smallholders to restore ecological and social value throughout the economic chain under our most critical daily need—food.
Exchange → Regeneration (Regenesis Rewards): A global retail ecosystem where consumers, small businesses, and the planet profit simultaneously—beyond the realm of voluntary contribution.
This operational loop replaces the philanthropic model—with its dependence on moral will—with regenerative design governed by structure rather than sentiment. Participation replaces donation; incentive replaces appeal. The system doesn’t ask for sacrifice. It creates conditions where doing well and doing good converge.
3. Philosophical Lineage
Regenesis stands within a continuum of visionary systems thinkers who refused to separate ethics from design.
E. F. Schumacher argued for “economics as if people mattered.”¹ Donella Meadows illuminated the leverage points that can redirect whole systems.² Buckminster Fuller proposed a design revolution where synergy, not scarcity, defines progress.³ And Walt Disney, in a different idiom, proved that one coherent vision—”to make people happy”⁴—can outlive its originator and reorganize global industry around imagination itself.
EarthCorp extends that lineage. It treats happiness not as amusement but as equilibrium: the joy that arises when social, ecological, and economic systems stand in proper relation. Where Disney built worlds of wonder, EarthCorp builds the conditions under which the world itself can endure in wonder.
