Why are we so oblivious?!

Question from the Internet:

“How can people be so oblivious to the disaster all around us? Why aren’t they thinking about the inevitable collapse that lies before us?”

They do, but when it comes to true solutions, the solution seems worse than the problem.

We already understand that we have failed with our present civilization. We already see that our inherently egocentric, subjective, individualistic, and exploitative nature is self-destructive in a globally integrated, interdependent Natural system.

We also see that we can’t change others and that changing political, economic, social systems, military “solutions” cannot help us.

But the real solution — changing, correcting, upgrading ourselves — sounds so horrific, unacceptable for our all-powerful egos, that we find every possible excuse just not to have to go through with it.

But we have no other choice!

Thus we have 2 options: either we start proactively, willingly, and methodically changing, correcting ourselves — instead of changing, correcting, canceling others — with the help of a unique, purposeful, and highly practical educational method or the growing, unsolvable socioeconomic crisis, natural catastrophes, wars, and ensuing intolerable suffering will convince us.
