Jïumannian Objectivism
The Jïumannian belief system is founded on egoism and objectivism, specifically the principles that man should act in accordance with his best interest, and morality is a social construct used to put the good of society in man’s best interest. Morality is thus considered to be something easily debated and changed in accordance with what is required, almost being synonymous with law. The common tenets are:
- People will always act in their own best interest (homo economicus)
- The only fair judge is a judge of multiple peers.
- Morality is a social construct that must be agreed upon and enforced.
- The best structure for society is one which ensures every individual stands to gain from the continued existence and growth of society.
- The ability of the individual should be unchecked, and so too should be the ability of his peers to police him.
- The proper purpose of life is the pursuit of one’s own happiness.
Moreover, a central tenet of Jïumannian philosophy is the unjust nature of privacy. Nothing is viewed as wrong enough to necessitate hiding from the public, and individuals are free to act however they wish so long as they are comfortable with being seen doing it. This laissez-faire approach to taboos is a common thread.
Naturally, this leads to an extremely individualistic governmental philosophy, while paradoxically being extremely authoritative. The individual's will and freedom are seldom controlled or limited by the government, because instead they are limited by the omniscient eye of the public.
This is not to say that Jïumannians are emotionally repressed, Jïumannian culture is extremely open and emotive, and being generous with information is viewed as amicable. Baths are public, doors are nonexistent, and one of the biggest taboos is allowing a secret to be discovered. To request to be alone with another is a heavily charged statement, that can be anything from a threat to an incredible display of trust and intimacy.
