A new way of thinking is necessary if humanity is to survive. Albert Einstein
 

 
 An open-source operating system for analyzing and designing individual, entrepreneurial and social processes : Over 150 aphorisms to enhance analytical and creative abilities, as well as providing guidance for value-based thinking and action.
 
 Preceding the aphorisms is an essay on the contribution of labor to the humanization of apes . This work is based on Friedrich Engels' article on the role of labor in the humanization of apes . It argues that humanization is not yet complete and risks never being so, since the virtues that distinguish humans are not practiced in the real world and technological progress can hinder this.
 
 Bernd Liske also examines the rise of China and the nature of democracy . Building on this, he explores Kondratieff waves and concludes that the evolution of humans from apes to humans is linked to the fundamental innovation of the sixth Kondratieff wave and is in the best interests of democracies , which lack a systemic approach that would enable them to compete peacefully with China.
 
 The following aspects will be examined:
 

  
 When is a person a person: A standardization against the prevailing illusion.
