Bill Gates is mistaken

Question from the Internet:

“Do you agree or disagree with Bill Gates who predicts that by the end of 2022 the world "returns completely to normality"?”

Well, I don’t know if Bill Gates has personal reasons to make people believe this, is he truly believes what he says.

But when we look at the world, what it was like before the pandemic, how it is now, and why we keep stumbling from crisis to crisis it becomes clear that we can’t return to normality by the end of 2022.
First of all we don’t even know what “normal" is.

Perhaps from our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, subjective and exploitative viewpoint, especially from the viewpoint of the “elite" Gates represents a human system that is built on excessive overconsumption, ruthless competition, surviving, succeeding at each other’s and Nature’s expense is “normal".

The “problem" is that we don’t exist in a vacuum, where we can set up our own laws, where we can do whatever we want. We exist in a fully integrated, interdependent Natural system where the balance and homeostasis life depends on is regulated, sustained by strict, unchanging natural laws.

And since our present system — driven by our inherent nature — is incompatible with those natural laws we have reached a critical threshold, saturation with our “cancer-like" behaviour, as our incompatibility with Nature has become intolerable.

As a result our human system started stuttering, collapsing, everything we have is slipping through our fingers, and all our “solutions" — still based on the selfish, exploitative ego — make everything only worse.

As the pandemic, how we reacted to it, and what people like Bill Gates are predicting shows, we are still oblivious to the reasons why our socioeconomic system is basically in perpetual crisis for decades, and we stubbornly want to continue our cancer-like be behaviour as before.

But we won’t be able to solve our mounting problems, and we will continue sliding towards self-destruction unless we start consciously changing ourselves towards true normality — as Nature’s laws define it, as natural evolution that drives the whole system towards seamless integration expects it from us.
