There is no “self-sufficiency” in a global, integral world
Question from the Internet:
“How do we ensure self-sufficiency for current and future generations?”
There is no such thing, notion as “self-sufficiency” in a globally integrated, fully interdependent world, where even for our necessities we totally rely on each other.
And even if people can isolate themselves and accept a basic, natural life catering for their own basic necessities, they still live on the same planet, so all the global problems — like plagues, climate change, extreme weather events, water shortage, or even a general socioeconomic crisis, wars would inevitably affect them as well.
So we do not have any other choice but to learn, and especially to teach future generations how to adapt to a fully integrated, interdependent, Nature-like human lifestyle, when we all become like healthy, mutually responsible, mutually complementing cells in Humanity’s single, living “superorganism”.
This has nothing to do with our usual, arbitrary human ideologies, philosophies, religions. We have to adapt to Nature’s laws that sustain the balance and homeostasis life depends on, otherwise, we will not survive, we will not continue our evolution together with Nature, and become extinct due to our incompatibility.
