What do we need to do to stop the recurring vicious cycles?

Question from the Internet:

“So it seems we may well be starting 2022 the same way as 2021. What is the biggest thing you want to change?”

It is completely irrelevant what I would want to change.

We would finally need to understand, accept what Nature wants to teach us through the pandemic and through the other pressing, mounting global problems.

We will have to learn that while we all feel ourselves as proudly, fiercely individualistic, standalone creatures with freedom to act and personal rights, in truth we all exist in a fully integrated and interdependent world, where we are but individual cells of the same, closed, living organism.

The sooner we understand, accept that and adapt ourselves to our real evolutionary conditions, the sooner we will solve our problems and elevate ourselves to a qualitatively much higher, collective Human existence.

If we stubbornly try going against Nature, maintaining our illusory “independence”, “individual freedom and rights”, the deeper we sink into crisis, problems until intolerable suffering will force us to wake up and adapt to the inevitable.

We are not facing some fleeting, arbitrary human ideology, philosophy, we are not facing a human judge that can be convinced or even bribed. We are facing Nature’s strict, unchanging and unforgiving laws.
