Conscious partners in evolution

Question from the Internet:

“Why is it that we know our ideals and moral values do not match our current world experience, and what is the resolution?”

As we learn and experience day to day, we exist in a globally integrated and fully interdependent world. This is our current world experience; these are our actual evolutionary conditions.

On the other hand, our inherent and instinctive worldview is 100% egocentric, subjective and individualistic. We sense the whole world revolving around us, and we care only about what can fulfill our own needs and desires, and we filter everything with our totally self-serving and self-justifying calculations.

Thus the way we are “programmed,” the way we try to exist in this world, does not match our actual conditions. We are incompatible with the world and with Nature’s fully integrated and interdependent system.

And this is the root cause of all the unsolvable and worsening problems we are experiencing.

The system we exist in and our evolutionary conditions will not change. The laws of Nature and evolution’s relentless drive towards a more and more integrated single system will not stop.

Only we can change, and this is actually our human advantage. Human beings are the only part of Nature’s system that can consciously and purposefully adapt themselves to evolution. So contrary to other species that “fell off” the train of evolution, we can make sure we remain in the flow.

Moreover, by consciously and purposefully adapting ourselves to the system and to the flow of evolution, we can become active and partnering participants in the process instead of hapless “luggage” that is dragged along helplessly and blindly.
