Can we learn to exist and work for each other’s sake?

Question from the Internet:

“How do you encourage people to use their knowledge to improve their society without expecting anything in return?”

Your question is very important for our generation!

After all, we all agree that the world has become globally integrated and interdependent. This also means that, in effect, we have all become individual cells of the same living organism.

So using everything we have for improving the society we live in, without expecting anything in return, is not something “nice” or even “moral” to do.

Our actual, immediate survival and problem-solving ability depend on learning how to start acting for the sake of others instead of constantly working for our own sake.

We have to learn this because, by default, we are all programmed to think, calculate and act only for our own sake. In fact, we can’t even perceive from the world anything beyond our immediate self-interest. Our perception of reality and our consciousness is 100% introverted, subjective and egocentric.

This is why human society — from the level of the basic family to global society — is in crisis, and we are all blindly marching towards seemingly inevitable self-destruction.

This is why we urgently need a unique, purposeful and practical educational method.

This method can teach us, moreover, help us “viscerally” and sharply feel how interdependent we are and what we gain by a Nature-like mutual integration and cooperation between us. At the same time, we can also come to feel and see what we lose if we fail to recognize our evolutionary conditions and continue our individualistic, egocentric, exploitative existence.
