What unique technology do we need to survive?

Question from the Internet:

“What would the world be like in 20 years? What kind of technology would there be in 20 years?”

In order for human beings to exist and enjoy life 20 years from now, we will need a special technology we haven’t really used yet.

When we look at the world right now, we see hopelessness, wars, socioeconomic collapse, and desperate helplessness when it comes to facing and solving global problems.

In truth, we are in such a state that without some drastic changes, we might not survive the next 20 years.

So what is the technology that we need in order to turn things around and be here in 20 years to discuss what and how we did and can continue to do?

Why are we in a constantly worsening crisis? Why are we facing seemingly inevitable self-destruction?

It is because we are incompatible with our evolutionary and natural conditions. Nature’s system we exist in, and we are integral parts of is fully and mutually integrated and each part and element — except humans — selflessly and unconditionally serve and facilitate the general balance and homeostasis of the system.

Human beings — on the other hand — are inherently self-serving, self-justifying, subjective, and individualistic. We serve only ourselves and take and consume everything we can obtain while we knowingly or unknowingly survive and succeed at each other’s expense.

Looking at humanity from Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated point of view, human beings act and exist like cancer. Unless we willingly and consciously start changing and adapting ourselves to Nature’s laws and evolution’s relentless flow toward integration, we will not survive.

This is why the unique “technology” we need right here and right now is the “technology of connection.” We need to learn and implement how to mutually integrate, co-exist and cooperate following Nature’s template — above and against our inherent nature.

If we do so, we can elevate our collective human existence to a qualitatively much higher level. Then in 20 years, we can look at this time as the most important turning point, a developmental revolution in human history.
