Question from the Internet:

“What if we had to rebuild human society from scratch?”

Indeed, we have to rebuild human society from scratch.

So far, all throughout history, we have been building and then destroying civilization after civilization by blindly following our inherently selfish, subjective, egocentric and exploitative nature.

And as our inherent ego has been incessantly growing and intensifying, each human civilization is more selfish, hedonistic, ruthlessly competitive and excessively overconsuming than the previous one.

In our generation, the “human cancer” within Nature has reached a terminal state — we are standing before seemingly inevitable self-destruction, which we can trigger at any moment from multiple, seemingly unrelated causes in many different places.

Our only path to escape is to rebuild human societies from scratch. But this time, we will have to use Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated template instead of following our arbitrary and unnatural ideologies and philosophies.
