Inherent Human nature causes hunger

Question from the Internet:

“What do you think is the most effective way to eliminate world hunger?”

Earth has enough resources and we have the technology to provide the necessary, healthy, fulfilling nutrition (and housing, healthcare) for much more than 8 billion people.

But we don’t.

And this is because we are out of balance with Nature’s laws that sustain the overall balance and homeostasis in Nature’s system. We accumulate resources for selfish reasons way beyond our necessities, we throw out most of what we purchase and accumulate, we ruthlessly and exclusively fight for everything and do not distribute what we produce in an equal way.

It is our inherently “cancer-like” behavior, excessive consumption that causes hunger and all the other, incessantly worsening crisis situations around the world.

This is why all the political, economic, social, philanthropic “solutions” make everything only worse. We can’t solve hunger and any other problems until we start solving the root problem: our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, exploitative, and subjective nature — through a unique, purposeful and practical educational method.
