There is only a single thing we can, have to do to survive!

Question from the Internet:

“What would you do for the day if you could do anything in the whole wide world?”

I would contact, approach each and every person in the world, trying to help them understand, impress on them, make them feel how much we are all interconnected, interdependent through the whole planet.

I would try to make them “viscerally feel, accept” that we are all but single cells of a single, fully integrated, living organism, and that our problem-solving ability and the key to our collective survival is within our unity and mutually responsible, mutually complementing cooperation above and despite everything that separates, rejects people from each other.

There is nothing else to do as our common, global boat is sinking fast. Trying to do anything else would be like stealing, collecting the silverware on the deck of the already half-sunk Titanic.

No great, clever speeches, no empty promises, no signing of any lofty agreements can help us. If we cannot understand and feel our total interdependence, if we can’t make our positive, constructive mutual connections, cooperation work urgently, we are literally finished.
