How can we prepare for life after Covid-19?

Like a good “scout”, we have to try to read the signs correctly to guide us forward.

To my understanding the virus taught us two very important lessons:

  1. We exist in a globally integrated and interdependent world where we have become absolutely, mutually responsible for one another,
  2. Due to our inherently egocentric, individualistic, and subjective programming (which is neither sinful or evil, we are simply born this way) we can’t adapt ourselves to our global, integral evolutionary conditions.

Thus — as these integrated and interdependent conditions won’t change but only get more obliging, pressing as Nature’s evolution progresses towards complete integration in its system all across the board — we need to find a way to learn how to make Human society compatible with nature’ system and its developmental plan.

That requires a special, purposeful, and highly practical “global, integral” education. This is what we should be preparing for right now so we could also help as many people as possible to join in and consciously adapt to the integral “shape”, the mutually responsible behaviour we need to take on in order to survive.
