We need a truly effective social science that is based on Nature’s laws of integration
Question from the Internet:
“Social Science is a method that attempts to explain human behavior and society. How can you see this discipline to address present-day problems in your own community?”
As we are sinking into an ever deeper socioeconomic crisis all over the world, social science would be extremely important to help us understand the root cause of our problems and find solutions for them.
After all everything - including governance, economics - are simply external representations of the social connections in between people.
The question is if the “social science” we have today is efficient, professional enough to detect and solve the fundamental problems between Human beings?
Looking at the results we need to say that it isn’t. All the “diagnosis”, “solutions”, all the ideologies, theories, methods make everything only worse.
Why is this so?!
We are all born with an inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric and subjective nature. Instinctively - knowingly or unknowingly - we are all surviving at the expense of everything and everybody around us. Most of the time we are unaware of what desires, intentions drive us, so we are very offended by the above “diagnosis”.
But the bottom line is that whatever Humanity had invented, built, developed up to this point was designed by the above mentioned egotistic, individualistic, subjective program for the sole benefit of the individual Human ego.
This is why - even when we start with seemingly positive, helpful, humanitarian intentions - sooner or later the project, ideology, system becomes corrupted, distorted and falls apart as each and every Human civilization for millennia, including our present one.
Thus if we want a “social science” that can truly help us first recognize and then treat the problem - our own nature - that ails Humanity, we need the appropriate, purposeful and practical science that is based on Nature’s unbending, strict laws of integration - that keep the balance and homeostasis life depends on - instead of relying on our instinctively egotistically biased mind.
