Societies will work only when we start to build them on Nature’s blueprint

Question from the Internet:

“Do the rules of society work?”

No, the present (and past) rules of society don’t work.

This is why we have been going through history’s helplessly recurring vicious cycles and this is why our own civilization is now approaching its own dead-end, collapse, despite using the “most promising combo” of liberal, parliamentary democracy and free market capitalism.

The rules of society are supposed to safeguard, that despite all of us being inherently self-serving, self-justifying, exploitative and hateful, we could still live and work together in a safe, peaceful, fair and sustainable way.

Up to this point we haven’t found the right arrangement, rules to safeguard that, as all our ideologies, systems, rules have been designed, executed by the same selfish, exploitative and hateful nature we would want to harness, channel towards positive, constructive directions.

This is why with the failure of our present civilization we have finally arrived to the unprecedented turning point, when we have to start using Nature’s perfect “integral template” as the blueprint we build Human society upon.

By that we will start a new, conscious and proactive phase of development, and we will be able to solve our mounting, global problems. Moreover we will also achieve the much needed integration, compatibility with Nature our collective survival depends on.
