If we want to solve problems, we need to understand the world we live in first

An article in The Jerusalem Post:

My comment:

After all, the author warned us in the first sentence he declared he had been in the “peace camp” since the 80s.

I wonder what “science” superforecasters are using to predict the future.

Looking at our world and how we are all heading towards a global meltdown, there can’t be many superforecasters guiding us toward the “silver lining” the author constantly sees.

If we want to succeed in our lives, if we want to know how to align ourselves with nature’s deterministic evolutionary plan and fulfill our destined role in the system, we would need to learn about the system of reality we live in and become similar to it, gradually “tuning ourselves” to the fundamental laws and forces that govern reality.

Without it we just keep guessing while we blindly and in a futile way we keep following our inherently egocentric, subjective and self-destructive nature.

Our Jewish method, the method of the Torah — which is basically the User Guide to the Universe — can help us learn the laws and principles of the system we live in and how we need to adapt ourselves to these laws and principles — with the help of our “supernatural” — above inherent nature — unity and mutual guarantee.

There are no “superforecasters” in this world, only egotistic, subjective, and misguided individuals, each trying to serve themselves.

Through the method of Torah we can build a collective that can study and understand the world we live in, becoming able to solve and prevent any problems.
