The pandemic is giving us a final warning!

Question from the Internet:

“Has this pandemic finally brought to light the political, cultural, and administrative degradation that characterizes modern society?”

Yes, the pandemic has shown us most sharply that in our present form we are incompatible with life!

While the virus spread has reinforced how much we evolved into a globally integrated and fully interdependent world, with our reactions, “solutions” we also showed without any doubts that we are unable to escape our individualistic, nationalistic instincts, that we make calculations only based on narrow personal or national interest and want to succeed, survive at the expense of others.

As it turns out in a global, integral system we behave like cancer by blindly following our egocentric, individualistic instincts. Thus we are heading for self-destruction, which could unfold from multiple different trigger points even within our generation.

Our fully interdependent conditions will not change, integration will only increase as a result of Natural evolution’s relentless drive towards integration. We can’t escape this even if we somehow could colonize other planets as the laws of nature are the same all through the Universe.

We have only one solution: to change, upgrade ourselves, to rebuild our connection and Human society based on Nature’s integral template, following Nature’s laws that sustain balance and homeostasis life depends on.
