The world in 50 years

Question from the Internet:

“What do you think the world will look like in 50 years?”

It all depends only on us. Through the pandemic and other threatening global problems, we received the chance to recognize the dangerous, explosive paradox between our inherently subjective, egocentric, individualistic nature and the fully integrated, totally interdependent conditions we have evolved into.

Our global, integral conditions — necessitated by Nature’s evolution that is relentlessly driving the whole system towards increasing, more and more optimal integration — will not change. Only we can change and adapt to the obligatory, Natural integration by consciously changing how we relate, connect to others and Nature.

Fortunately, we have a unique human intellect, capable of critical self-assessment, and capable of initiating self-change that is necessary for this proactive, conscious adaptation to Nature’s laws.

If we start this proactive, conscious transition to a better, “Nature-like” global human society we will see a qualitatively much higher, prosperous, positive, and constructive human society in 50 years — actually much sooner.

If we continue ignoring our incompatibility with our Natural, evolutionary conditions, then we can put together all the dystopian, catastrophe movies Hollywood produced and imagine ourselves living through them, as they will become our actual reality in 50 years — actually much sooner…
