Are we endangering the planet or we are exterminating ourselves?!

Question from the Internet:

“We know that humanity is harming our planet but many people say that in the future humanity will make the planet uninhabitable. There are many activities around the world to prevent this. Isn’t that an underestimation of the power of nature?”

You are right. We have no actual idea about Nature, its forces laws and about its developmental plan. Nature’s system is infinitely greater and stronger than humans with all of our technological abilities.

We could observe how Nature started almost immediately regenerating and replenishing itself for those few weeks humanity screeched to a halt at the beginning of the pandemic. We can also observe how life returns to such disaster zones as Chernobyl or Fukushima when humans can’t even dream of returning.

The only truly endangered species is us, we are exterminating ourselves by pollution, by depleting food and water resources, by wasting our chances to understand and handle the climate change and so on.

Nature and its relentless evolutionary plan towards the most optimal mutual integration of its life-creating system will continue but we might fall out of this flow as the dinosaurs did.

All of our present activities trying to prevent such self-destruction of humanity are completely useless and futile because they are devised and executed by the same inherently selfish, egocentric and exploitative human nature which caused the problems in the first place. As Einstein also noted, in order to solve problems we have to rise to a qualitatively higher level of human development. which means “Nature-like” mutual integration and building and accessing a unique “collective intellect and consciousness” that can match Nature’s fully integrated “quantum system”.

So any true solution needs to start with consciously and willingly changing and further developing ourselves towards that collective, mutually responsible and mutually complementing “Nature-like” Human existence.
