Human society is a living organism we are all integral parts of

Question from the Internet: “What kind of circumstances (social, human, political, etc.) would cause you to withdraw from society?

Global and integrated problems in a global and integrated world

Question from the Internet: What problems do others have that some or many of us can solve? The thing is that we have evolved into a completely integrated and interdependent world. While we still do not actually and “viscerally” feel this, we have, in effect, all become like single cells…

Are problems bad?

Question from the Internet: “Is it true that all problems must be solved? If so, why, and if not, why?” Well, I think if we identify something as a “problem”, that means it is something that creates difficulties for some or prevents better things from unfolding, so if something is…

Question from the Internet: “Why is co-operation needed in our social life?” Cooperation is the foundation of life.

We exist in a single, fully integrated system — but we do not feel this yet

Question from the Internet: “Are we free?” Nobody is free. We are all totally controlled by “Nature”.

How to change the world for the better?

Question from the Internet: “I want to change the world for the better, but I don’t know where to begin. How do I start?” Throughout history, many tried to change the world. Even today, we see individuals and groups of people with great ideas and passion trying to change the…

Our future doesn’t depend on politicians; it is in our hands!

Question from the Internet: “How can an individual develop his or her society without being a politician?” First of all, I think we already have enough historical and contemporary evidence that politicians cannot develop or even lead society.

Material prosperity cannot solve our problems.

Question from the Internet: “Is material prosperity the answer to the world’s problems?” If it were, if we could provide prosperity and equality to all by chasing constant quantitative growth and ever-growing consumption, cranking up our production and energy usage to ever-higher levels, we would already be in a perfect…
