Until now, ALL sci fi, ALL philosophy, etc., has been "relative" - as seen from another culture. I have been working on describing a "reference" culture, to be used to understand and improve all past, present, and future real world cultures, guide legislation to at least not make optimal behavior illegal, etc.
A description of such a thing would look a LOT like science fiction, so I am looking for a sci fi writer who is interested in my project to produce a document that is at once a good story AND describes a rough draft reference culture. This stuff throws ordinary people into complete brain short. I presented a small part of this at a Toastmasters meeting several weeks ago - and as a result they are STILL arguing about whether and how to limit subject matter. I video recorded this presentation. The one previous poor attempt at describing a reference culture was the Koran, but it missed even more than it got right. Anyway, if you are interested or know anyone else who might be interested, please contact me. Thanks.
