Humanity has no choice against Nature’s laws, the time has come to adapt
Question from the Internet:
“If rich countries are just benefiting more from globalization, why not stop globalization and start over and recover?”
“Globalization” is not something we can stop or reverse. We evolved into a globally integrated and interdependent human world because we exist in Nature’s “global and integral” system and without taking on the form of Nature humanity has no ability to survive.
So there is nothing we can do about “globalization” this is now our “playground”.
The problem with “globalization” is how we try to use it. And we try to use it as we use everything else, in a 100% self-serving, self-justifying, subjective and exploitative way: I want everything for myself according to my egocentric calculations, and if I have to get what I want through ruthless competition, at the expense of others and Nature, it is even better as I gain even greater pleasure from manipulating, controlling and exploiting others.
This is how we are all programmed, but of course, some are more and some are less successful as a result of our abilities, conditions and the hunger and willingness for sacrificing ourselves and others.
This is how there is always a smaller minority that benefits at the expense of the majority.
The “problem “ for the seemingly successful minority is that “globalization” means that we are all sitting on the same boat, we all depend on each other to survive, so you can’t sink part of the boat, you can’t cut off parts of the body and hope that you will survive.
As the general crisis already shows and as the global socio-economic collapse will unfold in the coming weeks and months everybody will understand that we have evolved into the unique era of “one for all, all for one”: either we all survive, or our Titanic sinks and we all drown.
This has nothing to do with our arbitrary and unfounded ideologies, beliefs, philosophies and systems. For the first time in human history, we will need to consciously and willingly adapt ourselves to the strict and unforgiving laws of Nature that govern the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.
Life is actually simple, human beings tend to complicate it, and most of the time we need intolerable suffering and pain to give up our lofty theories and beliefs and address the actual, realistic situation — the way Nature determines it.
