Our sciences, technology can’t solve our problems — only the right, purposeful education can!

Question from the Internet:

“How can you contribute to address current challenges in society (disasters) using science and technology?”

We can’t used contemporary science and advanced technology to solve our current problems, challenges. They are developed, used by the same inherently self-serving, self-justifying, exploitative and subjective nature that causes all the problems we would need to solve.

It is our insatiable, selfish ego — which drives us towards excessive overconsumption, ruthless competition where we succeed at each other’s and Nature’s expense — that drives us towards self-destruction, and it is this ego which invented, developed all our present sciences, technology.

Thus if we want true solutions, first we need to change the “user”, ourselves, we need to “upgrade the software" driving all of us.

Instead of the blind, self-serving, exploitative instincts, behaviour, we need to learn how to use a different, “nature-like", integral, systematic thinking, worldview, where all our calculations are aimed at the benefit, well-being of the whole collective, system, above and against any individualistic, selfish benefit, calculation.

For this we need a unique, purposeful and highly practical educational method that can achieve the fundamental inner changes in us without coercion, without misleading propaganda, brainwashing, instead attracting people willingly, through their free choice as they fully understand that the changes are beneficial for all of them.
