There is no bipartisan solution for America, only a universal solution!

Question from the Internet:

“What events or circumstances would lead to a joint bipartisan effort to unite this country and solve our problems?”

While the question obviously refers to America, the problem and its solution is universal as the main root cause affects us all.

We are all born inherently selfish, egotistic, individualistic and we all want to succeed, survive at the expense of others.

America is the prime example, as the US represents the peak of Humanity’s egotistic development. This “nation” was unashamedly built on the unadulterated selfish, egotistic ideal of the “American Dream”, excessively amassing profit, exploiting everything for one’s own sake regardless of the consequences. And while initially — as classical capitalism — it started with the principle of “what’s mine is mine, what is your is yours”, presuming fair play and infinite resources — it has morphed into the present — “what’s mine is mine, what’s your is also mine”.

And the American ideology way surpassed the medieval European colonization, oppression, “cast/class” system, creating the present 1% vs 99% pyramid model that works all over the world today.

But before we start pointing fingers this is actually nobody’s fault.

Until now we simply followed our inherent nature, our instinctive ego, using the misinterpreted Darwinian principle of “survival of the biggest bully, survival of the strongest wealthiest”.

As long as we continue following our inherent nature blindly, absolutely no political, economic, social, or military means can help us — neither in the US or anywhere else.

If anybody thinks that the present protests and worldwide “support” will make any changes to racism in America does not know history. It is mostly an election campaign issue, manipulating people for ulterior motives. After the elections — regardless of who wins — things will be the same or worse.

There is only one solution for America and for the whole world: to learn how to build positive, sustainable, mutually responsible, mutually complementing connections and cooperation above the vast and remaining differences, despite the constantly alive and burning distrust and animosity between individuals and different segments of society.

This is not Hollywood, people will not change inside, our uniqueness, individual and other characters will remain the same, they cannot be suppressed or erased. We will not put flowers into barrels of guns and will not sail into the sunset as “brothers”.

But if we are wise, and we follow the right, purposeful, and practical educational method, we will be able to build the necessary connections for a very important, common purpose: survival!

According to Nature’s evolutionary direction, we are now locked into a single, globally integrated, and interdependent world, we are all sitting on a sinking boat. And it does not matter who drills holes underneath whom, it does not matter who incites mutiny. If we cant work collectively together, if we can’t save and redirect our boat, we will all sink and drown.

It is as simple as that!

And this has nothing to do with partisanship, ideology, religion, or philosophy. We are in nature’s system which operates on “iron laws” demanding integration from Humanity, otherwise, we remain incompatible with the system and thus have no right to exist, survive in it.

And Nature is a merciless judge, it is a relentless, lawful system that does not change. Thus we are judging, punishing, or saving ourselves depending on whether we learn and keep Nature’s laws or we ignore and break them.
