How can we reset human society as a result of global problems?

Question from the Internet:

“How do people see the “resetting” of society due to Covid and the collective waking up has it started to rebuild your community beyond token representation?”

I do not see the necessary “resetting” yet. The pandemic — together with other mounting global problems — was supposed to show us, that in a globally integrated and fully interdependent world only mutually responsible and mutually complementing cooperation can bring effective, lasting results and solutions.

Instead, we all continue with our usually blind, subjective, individualistic and nationalistic methods, trying to succeed and survive at each other’s expense.

Since Nature’s system is integral and even understanding — let alone solving — problems requires an “integral, collective” understanding, approach, we are totally helpless against our growing problems. While we stubbornly, defiantly and foolishly try to assert our own authority over Nature, we are in fact sleepwalking towards a global meltdown that can wipe out most of humanity.

Our collective human survival — and there is no individual or national survival in a global, integral world where we all sit on the same boat — depends on humbly forsaking our misguided, arbitrary human ideologies, philosophies and religions our societies are built upon. Instead, we need to reset and rebuild our relations and the fabric of human society on Nature’s fully, mutually integrated template and its selfless, mutually complementing cooperation.
