Donkey-1: “Moulana Rumi” (1207-1273):
Donkey had thorn in his hind kept scratching, hitting & kicking in agony
Said; remedies they have prescribed are not for healing, but for demise!
خر ز بهر دفع خار از سوز و درد جفته می انداخت صد جا زخم کرد
گفت هر دارو که ایشان کرده اند آن عمارت نیست ویران کرده اند
The ignorant leaders’ misjudgments in running our “Manmade Human World” are not unprecedented. “Moulana Rumi” who lived between 1207 & 1273, had wisely educated us through symbolizing a donkey that was hurting itself due to its ignorance. The donkey did not know how to get rid of the thorn in its hind. The message is as clear as day light. It perfectly points out that the ignorance is the core reason for leaders’ mismanagements. As per Fara-Hani’s “Worldology” leaders’ ignorance is due to their misunderstanding of our designed “Human World”. In addition, their misunderstandings have caused them to ignore the “Human Characteristics” development. Sadly, the development of our “Human Characteristics” has been subjugated for a long time. As a result our “Manmade Human World” is suffering. Leaders should apply the same disciplines in our “Manmade Human World” which have been specified in our designed “Human World”. Same disciplines apply to our designed ongoing “Human Project” development as well. Noncompliant random rules (Without disciplines) generate frictions between the developing fields of the scope of work of the designed ongoing “Human Project”. All other fields such as Medicine, Engineering, & etc. have been developing with passage of “Time”, except the ACME field of the “Human Characteristics”. Undeveloped “Human Characteristics” is the core reason for our problems. The existing & growing frictions between nations are as results of undeveloped “Human Characteristics”. Leaders can see the problems, but they are not braved enough to demand for solutions. In addition, leaders’ fears of changes, markets, competitors prevent them of going out of the “Plato’s Cave” to search for compliant solutions. As Mr. President Trump said; what will leaders lose if they do that? Double sadly, our “Manmade Human World” is still managed under Ju Ju Man & Medicine Man tactics. That means that the Nobel human values are still ignored. Triply sadly, in our “Manmade Human World”, the human connections have been ignored for a long time. However, The Fara-Hani’s “Worldology” continues to develop the “Human Characteristics”. We plead with leaders to observe the designed ongoing “Human Project” development. It is clear that, our designed ongoing “Human Project” is complicated, high technical & wonderful. Remember that people initially did not believe Galileo. People should update their outdated “Religious Ideologies”, human philosophies, & human doctrines. People should bravely amputate their “Fear” of “GOD” & believe that “GOD” loves everybody. Advisedly, leaders should bravely get out of the “Plato’s Cave”, open holes into the cave walls, & fight back with their own ignorance & join us to enlighten the “Manmade Human World”.
Fara-Hani’s “Worldology” is a turning-point in our designed ongoing “Human Project”: in field of “Worldology”. Car GPS: 1973/1995 was a turning-point in our designed ongoing “Human Project” development in the field of “Transportation”, when the “GPS” was, discovered.

A Letter To Humans

Fara-Hani Resume-1: Here is a brief resume of my (Mike Farahani) life as of today.
I was born in Tehran, Iran on August 23, 1947. Since my childhood, I had a notion something was missing in my life which I did not know. Things around me did not humanly make sense. For example, those kids, who claimed were from religious family, were not behaving the way expected. I had a feeling that our “Manmade Human World” did not have enough space for my thoughts. I was seeking for something unknown & I did not know what. I thought perhaps if I went to a new place, I would learn more about myself & find my unknown missing image. So I came to the USA. I did in fact find some answers here. I have realized that in my home country I was not treated like human. The basic human rights and freedom were missing among the people in my home country (though the Shah of Iran was propagating individual rights and freedom of choice). In the USA I actually started to learn more deeply about myself. I was still, however, haunted by the feeling that something was missing. Finally, in 2012, as I continued to concentrate on my profession as a professional civil engineer, I found the missing links of the puzzle. I never had imagined that I could find the missing links within my own profession. It has been proven that engineers normally approach to solve the problems with logical, mathematical and reason. I found practical, reasonable, & sensible answers to most of my questions & the missing puzzle pieces about “The Creation” that I had searched for. Now, I am showing my gratitude for everything that has been provided in my life including great parents, beautiful wife, educated daughters, wonderful grandchildren, & beautiful land of freedom seekers, the US. I am offering the unprecedented Image of My Thoughts ("IOMT") under Fra-Hani’s “Worldology” belief to my fellow classmates in the entire “Manmade Human World”. I believe we humans have been looking for logical answers barking up on the wrong trees. In addition of being confused, we have been causing a lot of needless sufferings to ourselves. This is an unprecedented belief about us as humans, through the wise-eyes of a professional civil engineer. Of course, this unprecedented belief will continue to be updated until our development from the human “infants” into objectified human beings is completed. It is very simple, easy, & practical to understand. There is no politics or business associated with this belief. This compliant belief will surely save & free us from the existing outdated beliefs. It will definitely bring us peace & harmony. It will put us on the full designed human living track. Please take your time, put all your outdated beliefs, temporarily, aside & free yourselves from their restraints & fears. And then reconsider your exceptional human values & think about this unprecedented belief. It took me 65 years of tolerance, patience, & pregnancy for "IOMT" (Image of My Thoughts) to be born. I believe that, sooner or later, everybody will observe the designed ongoing “Human Project” development, as “Galileo” had observed the Earth was sphere & not flat.
“Saadi” (1210-1292):
Man shall reach a level, where only The Lord can see Behold how exalted is the essence of Man
رسد آدمی بجایی که جز خدا نبیند بنگر تا به چه حد است مقام آدمیت
Fara-Hani’s “Worldology” is a turning-point in our designed ongoing “Human Project” development in field of “Worldology”. Rosa Parks: 1955 was a turning point in our designed ongoing “Human Project” development in the ACME field of the “Human Characteristics” when “Rosa” refused to sit in the back of the bus or refused to give her seat to a white person.

"Pen & Ink Witchcraft: Treaties and Treaty Making in American Indian History" (2013) by Colin G. Calloway
"In 1791, Ottawa war leader Egushawa remarked that he would rather fight an American army than be prisoner to their Indian treaties, which he derided as “pen and ink witch-craft, which they can make speak things we never intended, or had any idea of, even an hundred years hence.” Egushawa’s prophetic words reflect the basic premise of Colin G. Calloway’s new book, in which he argues that treaties were the “primary instruments” by which indigenous peoples were deprived of their lands, autonomy, and sovereignty, more so than by simple violence and warfare. In fact, Calloway crafts an entire narrative of Native American history from the eighteenth to twenty-first centuries predicated on the negotiation of Indian treaties between indigenous peoples and Euro-Americans. Through this narrative, he asserts treaties provide “a barometer of Indian-white relations in North America,” which demonstrates the “shifts in power, changing attitudes about the place of Indian peoples in American society, and contested ideas about indigenous rights in a modern constitutional democracy”.
"While skeptics may cringe at the thought of orienting Native American history around treaty-making due to its potential connotations of the archaic “Indian-white relations,” Calloway presents several compelling reasons for why treaties offer a unique analytical lens into the interactions between Native peoples and Euro-Americans...."
