Using a magic wand…

Question from the Internet:

“If you had a magic wand that could solve one problem in the world but you could never take credit or achieve any materialistic gain from it, would you use it and what would you use it on?”

I think that if we understood what existence in a globally integrated and fully interdependent world truly means, that personal, individual health, success, and survival is intricately intertwined, it is inseparable from the health, success, and survival of the whole, global collective, where even for simple day-to-day survival we depend on each other, regardless of where we live, if we know each other, care about each other or not, then, of course, we would use any means that can help the overall state and optimal development of the whole collective — even if we did not receive any recognition or reward for it!

And this is exactly how our existence unfolds. We are all sitting on the fast sinking “global Titanic” of humanity, but at this everybody thinks that they can survive at each other’s expense as if they existed independent of others.

This is why we need a unique, purposeful, and highly practical educational method, that can not only help us understand but can also help us “viscerally”, undoubtedly feel our total interdependence.

It is this unique education that is the magic wand, I am personally very happy to use, pass onto others regardless of any recognition or reward since it is in my solid, selfish interest to fix the leaking boat and help everybody learn how to sail safely towards a better, safer sustainable future.
