The cause-and-effect process that determines human society and life

Question from the Internet:

“What is the impact of science and technology on human life and behavior?”

We will get much closer to solving our problems if we understand the cause-and-effect processes behind everything that is happening to us.

Only when we recognize the root cause of everything human beings have ever done can we start addressing what we need to address.

Science and technology — as well as everything else human beings, have ever done, built, or created — are the consequence of our inherent nature, our inherent perception, and our approach to reality. Human society and everything in it — our culture, our political, social, and economic systems, and how science and technology develop — is the direct result of our inherent nature and perception of reality.

By default, we are all born with a 100% self-serving, self-justifying, and individualistic nature, with its 100% egocentric, subjective, and introverted perception of reality and standpoint towards everything that is “outside of us”.

As a result, all human civilizations and everything that is in them serve this 100% selfish, egocentric, individualistic, and exploitative human being. There is nothing — none of our ideologies, philosophies, religions, nothing in our human system — that would not be built, invented, or created by and for the human ego.

Thus whatever we see on the level of politics, economics, in societies, or through our sciences and technology are simply inevitable consequences. And when we try to change, solve or improve anything on that level that is totally futile and destructive like trying to cure cancer with simple pain relief or other symptomatic treatment.

If we want a true impact on human life and behavior, if we want to find to understand our historical and contemporary problems, let alone find solutions for them, we have to address the root cause, our inherent nature.

Only when we start recognizing and changing the selfish and exploitative human ego behind everything we do and we become willing and ready to start changing ourselves — instead of trying to change and manipulate everybody and everything else — will we impact human life and behavior in a positive and sustainable way.

Thus the only science we need — a unique, empirical natural science that has been studying human nature and behavior for millennia — is the one that can access and change our inherent nature and behavior in a realistic, predictable, and sustainable way.
