Question from the Internet:

“Are we, humans overall, getting more tolerant, or are we becoming more rigid?”

While it is difficult to hear and even more difficult to accept, we Humans are born with an inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and subjective nature.

We constantly compare ourselves to others and thrive to become better, higher, wealthier, more successful than others, mostly succeeding, surviving at the expense of others.

And since the human ego has been growing, intensifying through our evolution, today our intolerance, isolation, mutual distrust, and hate has reached such a level that societies, even the original family model is falling apart.

We can observe this intolerant, hateful human behavior especially at times of crisis, when instead of pulling together, supporting each other, trying to care for the collective each individual and nation only care about themselves.

As a result instead of finding true solutions, we make all our mounting global problems constantly worse, threatening our own survival.

This is why we urgently need a unique, purposeful, and practical educational method so we could recognize,m understand our own nature and also learn how we could change, upgrade ourselves so we would adapt to our new, globally integrated, and totally interdependent evolutionary conditions nature’s system forced on us.
