Multiple threats — a single root cause

Question from the Internet:

“What are the new threats human security is facing today?”

We are “mortally” threatened from all sides.

If the pandemic is not enough (and the pandemic showed that we are totally vulnerable, unprepared if a worse plague affected humanity), we have the worsening climate change with its weather and environmental effects, we have increased pollution, decreasing water supplies, we have an impending socioeconomic collapse and large scale, even world wars waiting to break out.

The positive in this is that all our problems revolve around a single root cause, that either causes the problems or prevents us from solving them.

It is our inherently selfish, egocentric, individualistic, and exploitative nature that drives us towards excessive overconsumption, accumulating profit and resources for ourselves way beyond necessities, it is this inherent nature that makes us thrive on ruthless competition, succeeding at the expense of others, and it is again our inherent and instinctive behavior that stops any chance of positive, sustainable, mutually responsible and mutually complementing connections and cooperation that is crucial for problem-solving.

This means, that by correcting, upgrading, fine-tuning our inherent nature, learning from Nature’s fully integrated, life-giving system how to mutually co-exist and cooperate — above and against our blind instincts — we can solve our present problems and prevent new ones.

This is the only way to facilitate and safeguard our continuing, collective Human survival and optimal development.
