Developing a better society starts with identifying the root cause of the problems

Question from the Internet:

“How do I develop a better society?”

We have to develop a better society together, nobody can do it on their own. We need at least a so-called “critical minority” (about 15–20% of a given society) to want to improve on society and also know how to do it.

There has been no lack of trials to improve society, as we have tried myriads of different ideologies, systems, philosophies and societal structures so far — and we failed with all of them.

We have been failing because regardless of what we have tried we never actually understood what the root cause of our problem is and we never addressed this root cause.

And the root cause is our own, inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, individualistic and exploitative nature. This is the inner program that has been driving us and this the driving force that is behind we have ever built or invented.

Thus on one hand we went through a remarkable, unparalleled development in Nature, while on the other hand, we have become like cancer in the fully integrated and interdependent Natural system we exist in.

So developing a better society means learning how to adapt ourselves to our mutually integrated and interdependent evolutionary conditions — above and against our inherent nature. And it is specifically this conscious, willing and purposeful self-development above and against our inherent nature that will make us “truly Human”: becoming consciously similar to Nature against our instincts.
