“Is there anything on Earth more valuable than a human being?”
For centuries, we’ve measured everything — except what matters most.
Electricity — in kilowatt-hours.
Carbon — in tons.
Gold — in ounces.
But human energy?
It was simply used. Without tracking. Without respect. Without value.
1. A Historical Glimpse
- The Middle Ages and the philosophy of labor:
- Monasteries treated work as a spiritual act.
- Leonardo da Vinci wrote about vis viva — “living force.”
- Alchemists searched for the “inner fire.”
- 18th–19th centuries: the Industrial Revolution
- Humans became “resources” in machines.
- Karl Marx defined labor as a commodity — but gave it no unit.
- Wages replaced meaning; effort remained invisible.
- 20th century:
- Automation pushed aside physical effort.
- Metrics like KPIs and likes replaced presence.
- But how much is attention, care, or real effort worth? Silence.
2. Energy Comparison
We eagerly assign value to everything we can exploit:
- Electricity: $0.10–$0.40 per kWh
- Oil and gas: per barrel, per unit
- Carbon: through emissions pricing
- Money: through exchange rates
But human energy — behind all of this — remains unseen.
3. The Danger of This Blind Spot
- People face burnout and existential fatigue
- Exploitation systems thrive
- Human lives become invisible unless turned into metrics
- Contribution loses its dignity
4. HUMAS System introduces HUNIT(hu)
HUNIT (hu) = 1 kWh of human energy.
The base unit to measure effort, movement, and presence.
Electricity fueled the industrial era.
HUNIT can fuel the era of meaning.
Why 1 kWh?
Because it gives us a starting point. But one day, 1 HUNIT may be worth 10 or even 100 kWh — once humanity recognizes its true value.
5. The Economy of Truth
When you convert GDP into HUNIT, you start to see:
- Where humans are treated like batteries
- Where energy burns blindly
- Where real value is created through honest effort
Example:
$1 in Germany ≈ 0.118 HUNIT
$1 in China ≈ 0.00049 HUNIT
You’re not just comparing economies. You’re asking: How much of a human is present in this system?
6. HUMAS System — A Space for Recognition
We are not against money.
We are against false measurement that ignores real contribution.
In HUMAS System:
- A person receives not just a glyph
- But also HUNIT and a visible energy trace
- Their contribution is recorded and valued
- A new economy forms — from action to value
7. What Will This Give to People?
- Dignity and recognition
- New models of distribution based on contribution
- A shift in identity: from worker to energy bearer
- A fair and visible metric of your real presence
8. Time to Acknowledge the Essential
The world is shifting.
We either forget the human again — or we finally honor the one force behind it all.
HUMAS System is not fantasy.
It is a return to truth.
