Covid-19 came to reprogram us and start a new phase of Human development

Question from the Internet:

“What advice would you pass on to the new world after Covid-19?”

I would pass onto the world that COVID-19 is not a simple microorganism that infects people, but as a positive “computer virus,” it came to reprogram us.

With the message we can learn from the pandemic:

  • we evolved into a globally integrated, interdependent world
  • with our inherently egocentric, individualistic, exploitative and subjective nature/program we are incompatible with the system
  • with the socio-economic system built on excessive consumption, success, survival at each other’s and Nature’s expense we will self-destruct very soon

we could upgrade, rebuild how we relate to each other, and with that create a much better, safer, fairer, peaceful, and sustainable Human system.

Of course, our original program, our egotistic, selfish, exploitative instincts, reactions can’t be suppressed, erased. We need a very unique educational method that can teach us how to build the crucially necessary, literally life-saving, mutually responsible and mutually complementing Human connections, cooperation above, and despite our original nature/program reaching a very special, truly Human duality.

Then we will have a truly free choice between two “operating systems”, directions, while we also receive the ability to think, make decisions and act above blind instincts, hormonal reactions, which ability we are still lacking right now.

Thus COVID-19 heralds the start of a new, this time conscious phase of Human development where we can take our fate into our own hands, detaching our fate from the constantly growing, insatiable Human ego that defined Human history until this point.
