Humanity in the next 50 years

Question from the Internet:

“What will happen to mankind in the next 50 years?”

That solely depends on what we do. Do we recognize the root cause of our problems? Are we willing to change what needs to be changed?

I think the pandemic especially gave us a very accurate picture, a brutally honest mirror to look into.

We have learned that in a globally integrated, interdependent world — where all problems require a coordinated, global discussion, decision making, and action — we cannot continue with our inherently self-centered, self-serving, egoistic, and subjective mindset, calculations, we can’t continue overconsuming, accumulating everything for ourselves beyond what we truly need, we can’t continue thriving to succeed at each other’s and Nature’s expense.

And beyond the pandemic, we have plenty of other global problems that are already upon us or are waiting around the corner.

So have we recognized and accepted that the only thing that needs changing is our own nature, each person changing oneself instead of censoring, correcting, canceling, coercing others? I am not sure about that, looking at the prevalent ideologies, movements, propaganda, and dogma we are brainwashed by 24/7.

So what will happen in the next 50 or even next 5 years?

It all depends on how many people are sensitive and willing enough to start changing themselves without coercion, through positive motivation and positive example using a unique, purposeful, and practical scientific, educational method. If we reach a critical mass of people organizing small communities, first of all, that can later become the founding blocks, cells of a new, improved human society, then we will find a qualitatively much higher, safer, equal, sustainable, and prosperous human society in 50 years.

If not, then…
