The 2 factors bringing Humanity together

Question from the Internet:

“What would it take to focus the planet’s population on one thing?”

The first priority will be our collective survival.

Right now even this seems like a utopia since the pandemic showed how incapable we are of any meaningful, positive coordination, mutual cooperation as each only cares for themselves and wants to survive at the expense of others, or simply wants to ignore, negate what happens.

Still, when a more virulent and lethal pandemic hits, when the ground will be literally burning under our feet or tsunamis wash away coastal areas, or when wars will break out for drinking water and societies will be paralyzed as a result of cyber-warfare, the increasing, intolerable suffering will teach us that we can’t survive without each other, sitting on the same sinking global boat.

Of course, we could prevent such scenarios if at least a positive, more sensitive critical minority learned that the root cause of all our problems is our inherently selfish, hateful, and exploitative nature that drives all of us — regardless of how much we are aware of this about ourselves.

Then these pioneers — by willingly, methodically changing themselves — could start pulling humanity behind them towards safety, while the masses will also agree, being softened by actual or imminent suffering.

And when our collective survival is safeguarded by the new, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing cooperation — above and despite everything the separates, rejects people from one another — we will gradually feel and understand what a qualitatively higher level existence we acquire by acting together as a single “living organism” with an unprecedented “collective consciousness, intellect”.

Then this new life experience, this presently unimaginable collective consciousness and intellect will keep us united, attracting us forward instead of constant crisis, pain, and fear holding us together.
