What are the long-term goals for humanity?

Question from the Internet:

“What are some long-term goals that we should be working towards as a society?”

Our primary and immediate goal has to be our collective survival.

After all, at the moment, humanity is blindly sleepwalking towards a global meltdown, a catastrophe that can wipe out most of our species. And this meltdown can be triggered by many, seemingly unconnected sources and factors.

We can destroy ourselves directly through wars, or socioeconomic collapse, or we can indirectly cause our demise through our total inability to connect and cooperate together in solving the mounting global problems that threaten our existence.

As we can see, only such incredible disasters like the earthquake in Turkey can bring enemies and foes together, but for example, I suspect Syria does not get the same support as Syria has even more and stronger enemies than Turkey. And we can also predict that this “global support” will wane within weeks or months and everything reverts to “normal”, which “normal” is the permanent distrust, animosity, and mutually assured destruction between individuals and nations.

This is all the result of our inherently selfish, egocentric, subjective, and individualistic nature, which sees its existence and success at the expense of others.

And this way we will not survive in nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system that also obliges us to build human societies based on mutual responsibility and mutually complementing cooperation.

We need to learn and practice how to build “nature-like” human societies above and against our inherent nature, without suppressing or erasing our inherent nature.

And when we already secured our collective survival by changing and developing how we relate to each other and nature, by changing our viewpoint and attitude, then, we will gradually also understand that we have a much higher and very special role and purpose in nature’s system. That special role and purpose is possible to understand and achieve only when we already behave and act in unison, as healthy cells of the same, living organism.
