Question from the Internet:

“Has the happiness and quality of life of humankind improved because of these technological advances? Why or why not?”

The happiness of humanity and our quality of life have nothing to do with technology.

Our happiness and quality of life depend on finding and fulfilling our overall Human purpose in life. And that depends only on the quantity and quality of human relationships and the mutually responsible and mutually complementing integration between people.

We can use technology to achieve this purpose, but we can achieve it even without any technology since the mutual interconnections we need to build, foster, and maintain are emotional. We have to learn and practice how to integrate with each other and how nature’s comprising elements integrate and work together in order to create and nurture life.

We all have to become like healthy cells of a single Human organism, which then will also develop a unique, single, collective Human consciousness.

Attaining, understanding, and facilitating the creation and nurturing of life through this collective Human consciousness is our overall evolutionary Human purpose in life, and we cannot be happy, and we cannot sense a qualitative life until we reach this purpose.
