What is the real solution to the world’s problems?

Question from the Internet:

“What are the real problems that the world is facing now and the ways out?”

While it is difficult to listen to and accept, the root cause of all the problems that are happening in the world today — and the root cause of all the helplessly recurring vicious historic cycles — is our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, individualistic and exploitative nature.

By default, we cannot make any other calculations but the ones that are about serving and caring for ourselves at any cost, at the expense of others. This is neither evil nor sinful, simply this is how we are “programmed”, anything that we are thinking about or are doing is based on a 100% egocentric “pleasure/pain software”. It does not matter if we are aware of this or not (mostly we aren’t) this is how everybody operates at any given moment.

While in Nature all elements — especially animals — have their own selfish survival reflex and they do everything they do to continue their existence and the propagation of their species, they are also bound by Nature’s overall “mutual guarantee” — the laws and principles that make sure that the overall balance and homeostasis remains sustained in order to create and sustain life in the system.

Human beings are born without this innate sense of “mutual guarantee”, instead we excessively overconsume everything, we recklessly destroy the system and each other and we thrive in ruthless competition when we survive and succeed at the expense of others and Nature.

It is this inherent human nature that is behind all the problems of the world, and only by changing, and further developing our inherent nature can offer true solutions and a better future. Everything else we do — through political, social, economic or military means — are simply useless symptomatic measures that allow the main disease to fester and develop further, at the end claiming our existence.
