The social issue we need to deal with

Question from the Internet:

“What social issues are you interested in, and how would you engage your community?”

The primary social issue I am interested in is how people relate, connect to each other.

By default — regardless of how aware of this we are — we all connect to each other in a self-serving, self-justifying, subjective, and exploitative way, trying to use any connection we have with others for self-benefit. And if there is no self-benefit we simply do not connect.

Even when we seemingly give to others, even when we “love” others” we do so for self-benefit — knowingly, unknowingly. And if there is no self-benefit from giving, loving others we simply cannot do it.

This is why our societies, even our families look like how they look today.

And this is why we urgently need to learn — through a unique, purposeful, and highly practical educational method — how to relate, connect to each other above, against instinctive self-interest.
