behaviour (BEH) – this is the main question standing before mankind living and acting on planet Earth; this is the question about life or death; this is Hamlet's question – TO BE or NOT TO BE?

capitalism (CAP) – an evil social order characterized by large-scale discrimination between people, large-scale poverty, large-scale slavery, large-scale waste of natural resources, large-scale robbery of the resources belonging to people and the society, large-scale misuse and non-use of important advice given by various experts and "seers", hiding important knowledge, killing behaviour, bureaucratic dictatorship, and similar attributes; the collapse of CAP was predicted already by Karl Marx and others; MM predicted the collapse of CAP on the basis of moral: „a society based on an evil moral cannot survive“ (teadus.visioon jm, 1999, 2000); George Soros and others have predicted this collapse on the basis of economy

closed society (CS) – a society that does not support free movement of information as this is considered dangerous to the well-being of this society; "non-seers", persons who „see poorly“ are both members and products of CS

developing the society – informing people about the situation in the existing human society, with a goal to abandon the old, primitive and inhumane structures and replace them with new structures, those more worthy and more humane

      Continuous development of the society is the most important task of a democratic society! (a calling voice from America, during the last change of the century)

       If it proves impossible to establish a developed, worthy, humane society IN REALITY, then the Pioneer of the society will construct the scheme of it next to the existing society.

evil society, evil structure – the society not good enough for a human being; the society full of discrimination, injustice and violence; the society in which people cannot use resources as beings with equal rights; various forms of „killing behaviour“ characterize this society; historically, several forms of evil society have been described (slavery, feudalism, capitalism, communism), none of those were capable of turning back to violence and starting a non-violent social life instead; after WW2 there was a unique possibility for humans to live a long time without global wars, but mankind did not use this peaceful time for good, e.g. between 1970 and 2010 poverty rose 200% whereas the number of humans living on planet Earth rose only 12%; thus, the latter peaceful time has been lost, and evil society is still there ... its jaws are wide open ! ...

humane society, humane structure – the society worth of living; the society in which each human being has the right to develop himself/herself according to its (inner) potential and present his/her contribution to the society; each person does this in a unique way no one else can do; thus, by walking his/her path and contributing to the society in the best possible way each person has also a right to use the resources available in this society

interest-based (IB) – natural activity of a human being, as well as of any other being; activity that is based on natural interest which is the main driving force of any healthy being living in a relatively normal (worth-of-living) environment; Pioneer of the society (PS) separated e.g. „money-based science“ (MBS) and „interest-based science“ (IBS) in the late 1990s (electronic list „teadus.visioon“, 2000; e-newsletter „Epetsicus“, 2001 etc.)

killing behaviour (KBE) („nottimiskäitumine“, in Estonian, since 2001) – violent behaviour characterizing a person or a community that lives under the rule of evil society; after September 2001 the term „nottimiskäitumine“ was introduced in Estonian electronic media; the forms of KBE include physical, psychic, verbal, temporal, spacial and others

KNOWLEDGE (KN) – the main tool that a human being can gain and use during lifetime; in an evil society KN can cost lots of money; but in a humane society it has no such value, in such a society KN is simply invaluable!

liberation of information – basic method of Open Society, which helps people to become seers; this method was described during preparation of the BANCO Project (BAltic Nature COnservation – Modernization of Nature Conservation in the Baltic States, presented to Open Estonia Foundation in May 1996)

MM – Matti Masing, „Pioneer of the society“, the Pioneer (one of many potential pioneers), author of the website „Open Society Movement“, „Avatud Ühiskond“ and many others

money-based (MB) – activity which is based on money or other similar item which makes people inhumane towards each other, provoking in them carelessness, hateridge, violent behaviour etc.

"non-seer" – a person that cannot „see“ clearly enough, who does not know or understand real humane values, who is not interested in a humane society and humane relationships between all people; instead it supports evil society, and can do so even „at all costs“; this person is often not well educated about the history of nature and human society, partly because education is an obstacle for him to carry on („it is not good to know too much, it is much better to know only those things which are good for me in the light in which I am able to see now, when my eyes are closed!“); in this way a "non-seer" constantly switches himself/herself off from a knowledge-based (open) society

"open one's eyes" (OOE) – activity to become a "seer"

Open Society (OS) („Avatud Ühiskond“, in Estonian) – knowledge-based society; a human society which supports free movement of information as this will ultimately lead to the increase of KNOWLEDGE; the society based on knowledge potentially supports free development of humans as individuals and as members of the society; OS prefers a humane system instead of an evil system, and the members of this society are able to become „seers“; OS is opposed to closed society in which important information is hidden from people because this is considered dangerous to the well-being of this society

       The term OS has been used as part of signature since 1996 to mark the author's (the Pioneer's) attitude towards the existing society in Estonia and elsewhere in the world. This term has also helped the author to separate his views from those of closed society, and to explain the role of Open Society Movement in the process of transformation of a human society from an evil structure to a humane structure.

Open Society Movement (OSM) („Avatud Ühiskonna Liikumine“, in Estonian) – a movement that advertises and implements the ideas of Open Society; this term was used during electronic discussions and in the signatures of documents sent to those in power at the end of the 1990s and at the beginning of the 2000s

path (way) – a unique way that each person has first to discover and, after this discovery, walk; one has to „open its eyes“ first to see the path before starting to walk it; if one's eyes are not opened, this means that they are closed, and in this case KNOWLEDGE about the society as well as about the rest of the surrounding world is not arriving to the person, and lots of misunderstanding, instead of knowledge, fills his/her mind; with „mist in mind“ the path cannot be seen clearly or it cannot be seen at all

Pioneer of the society (PS), the Pioneer – a person who can „see“, and who educates others to become seers; e.g. in „Evening light – story told by a pioneer“ (Eptesicus, 2004)

politician – a person whose aim is to be part of the ruling power in a human society; the essence of a politician is determined by the social system to what this person belongs; thus, within the ruling power of an evil society there cannot exist politicians who are not connected with this evil; in an evil „democratic“ society those politicians who seem less evil are most likely to be elected by people, meaning that their evil is well hidden

"seer" („nägija“, in Estonian) – a person who has "opened his/her eyes", a person who can „see“ clearly, a person who is well experienced about the history and nature of mankind, knows enough about laws of nature and those of human society, and has discovered his/her unique path to move on; a person that is interested in humane relationships between all people

separating things („asjade eristamine“, in Estonian) – a basic method to get the results, to reach the next rung of the ladder of gaining knowledge, and to reach the next step in the way of becoming a "seer“
