In order to define what “sustainable” means, we need to understand Nature through similarity
Question from the Internet:
“How do you define sustainable?”
Sustainable means agreeing with Nature’s strict, unchanging laws that sustain the balance and homeostasis life and optimal development depend on.
By default, we are unaware of these laws as Human beings are born “outside of” Nature’s balanced system, from our point of view we do not being to the fragile “circle of life” that each and every element in Nature integrates into instinctively.
With our inherently self-serving, individualistic, “cancer-like” nature/program — that has been growing, intensifying through Human history, developing us from the simple hunter, gatherers to the narcissistic, exploitative modern Humans we have become — we are incompatible with Nature.
This is why we have been building and destroying unsustainable Human systems, establishing our own laws, recklessly changing, replacing everything as we see fir, while excessively consuming everything we can put our hands on.
As a result today we find ourselves on the brink of self-destruction, running out of resources, energy supply, clean water while large parts of the planet will become uninhabitable soon.
Our only lifeline, a chance for survival is to learn what sustainable means from Nature’s point of view. But we can learn that only if we start to understand Nature through becoming similar to it. And we can become similar to Nature only if we rebuild Human society according to Nature’s balances, integral template.
And that necessitates a unique, purposeful, and highly practical upbringing, an educational method that is solely based on Nature’s most fundamental laws principles without any Human inventions, philosophies, ideologies.
