2026

A visual metaphor depicting a ladder or a series of concentric circles, illustrating increasing scales of human interaction from individual/family to global society. Each level features distinct symbols representing the 'moral currency' or governing principles (e.g., 'love' for family, 'reciprocity' for clan, 'responsibility' for organization, 'law' for nation, and 'verifiable commitment' for global affairs), emphasizing that virtues applicable to smaller scales may lead to negative consequences when misapplied to larger systems.
