How can we change the world?

Question from the Internet:

“Do you have an idea that could change the world?”

The world will change when we change ourselves.

Everything will change if we change how we connect to each other if we change our inherently egocentric, subjective, individualistic, and exploitative approach to selfless, altruistic, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing.

We do not have to do this because someone is telling us, because we follow certain political ideologies, any philosophy, religion, or mysticism.

We will have to do it because Nature’s strict, unchanging and unforgiving laws — that sustain and govern the general balance and homeostasis life depends on — obligate us to do so.

Without making ourselves compatible with Nature’s fully integrated, interdependent system — which also forces us into our global interconnections — we will not be able to solve our mounting problems and we won’t be able to survive evolution which pushes the whole Natural system towards increasing mutual integration.

The “survival of the fittest” means the survival of those who integrate. Our human advantage in evolution is that we can and have to do this consciously, above and against our inherent nature, but that gaining full awareness, understanding of Nature’s system and all of its cause and effect processes, resources, blueprints.
