→Right Relationship with Reality
=== Right Relationship with Reality ===
=== Right Relationship with Reality ===
So where do fundamental values come from? Whee does right and wrong come from? Where does morality itself come from? What should ICANN use to determine these values in constructing the framework for IG? Fortunately we have a template that is discoverable and that template is reality itself.
Reality includes the set of all things that is actually real. It even includes all other reality that actually do exist, at the exclusion only of those things that do not exist. For the purpose of this discussion we don't have to have the argument as to what is real or what isn't.
Rather, what we should do is accept that we live in a universe and that we exist. We know that we have a past, present, and future. We are subject to the laws of cause and effect. Our present was caused by the events of the past. Our future will be determined by our choices in the present. Because our ancestors made the right choices, we exist. If we make the right choices our descendents will continue to exist. If we make the wrong choices, we could go extinct. If we are extinct we are no longer part of reality.
