We have all become “global citizens”

Question from the Internet:

“Is it possible to create a world without citizenship?”

This has been taken out of our hands already. Nature’s evolution has already created a globally integrated ad interdependent world, where borders, citizenship has become meaningless, obsolete.

As the pandemic most sharply showed us, we evolved into a world where we all depend on each other and it does not matter how we close ourselves down, what walls we build between us, whatever happens at one corner of the globe will inevitably reach all the other corners within days, minutes.

And the pandemic is only the beginning, as now through the still-evolving global socio-economic crisis we will feel this inevitable interdependence even deeper.

This does not mean erasing or suppressing our inherent individual and national identities, unique characteristics. Who we are, what special qualities, abilities we possess are very important. Without keeping, cherishing our unique identities, qualities, abilities we would not know how to contribute to Humanity’s multi-colored, multi-faceted mosaic.

But we urgently need to develop a completely new mindset, outlook, rising above the instinctively introverted, egocentric, nationalistic, subjective mentality we are all born with. We need to develop a systemic, global, integral mindset and behavior patter through the appropriate, global, integral educational method.
