The biggest challenge for humanity

Question from the Internet:

“What are the biggest challenges facing society in the next 20 years?”

The biggest challenge global humanity is facing in the forthcoming years is learning and practicing how to exist and behave as a single, global human network.

This is somthing we do not have any free choice about. We are born from nature’s fully integrated and finely balanced system, we are still integral parts of that system, and all the laws that govern the general balance and homeostasis are also obligatory for us. And since human society – and our behaviour in general – is incompatible with nature’s system and its laws, our human system now started to collapse, And it does not matter how stubbornly and what way we try to salvage this human system. Since we go against the laws of nature, we can’t save ourselves.

Thus our task for the forthcoming years – basically starting now, and we are already late – is to learn how to build a global human society that is similar to and compatible with nature.

This means mutually responsible and mutually complementing integration between people and a lifestyle that stays within the optimal parameters of true natural necessities and available resources.

This requires a unique purposeful and practical method, that can help us not only understand but viscerally feel our inevitable and irrevocable interdependence.
