Why is humanity failing?

Question from the Internet:

“Is artificial intelligence possibly going to fail?”

Artificial Intelligence cannot fail. AI is a tool in the hands of human beings who created and programmed AI while also providing the data AI works on.

Tools “behave” and “succeed” according to how human beings use them.

It is human beings who succeed or fail, not the tools human beings use.

Since human beings — according to our inherently egocentric, individualistic, and exploitative nature — use everything for the excessive accumulation and consumption of everything we can grasp for ourselves and for controlling, manipulating, exploiting, and destroying others, we fail.

At the moment, we triumphantly and stubbornly march towards a seemingly inevitable and imminent self-destruction that can cause the extinction of most of our species.

This can unfold directly — through wars, socioeconomic collapse, and destruction of the natural environment — or indirectly, since we are utterly incapable of the necessary mutually responsible and mutually complementing cooperation and coexistence that could make us able to comprehend and solve the mounting global problems that threaten our existence.

The technologically more advanced we become, the more cancer-like and destructive we become. But again, this has nothing to do with our technology, and suppressing or destroying technology will not change the outcome.

There is only one component here that needs changing, correcting, and further developing: the “user,” the human being.

If we want to succeed and survive, if we want to learn how to build a “nature-like,” mutually responsible, and mutually complementing humanity that can integrate with nature’s lawful and deterministic system and thus survive in this system, we have to learn and practice how to change our inherent intentions, goals, and aspirations.

We will have to learn how to exist, act, and behave for the sake of others and the whole collective above and against our inherently and 100% egocentric, subjective, and individualistic intentions and existence.

From the destructive cancer cells we are born as, we have to build a unique, “multi-cellular” humanity where each of us becomes a healthy cell. Then, this unique Human “super-organism” will also develop a “collective Human consciousness” that will be able to use everything, even AI, for positive, constructive, and mutually beneficial goals and purposes.

There is no other way to secure our continuing human survival, and if we do not start working on this willingly, consciously, and purposefully, then the handful of survivors — remaining after a global calamity — will have to change themselves and do this anyway, as a result of terrible and intolerable suffering.
