Without changing the Human being we can’t change Human society

An opinion from the Internet about social media:

“The world in which we live has been captured by the social media world. The virtual space created a false sense of belonging and worth which drives recipients and clogs their everyday lives. Change must be managed otherwise we all become victims of the same. Responsibility, capacity, and critical thinking are needed to sieve the information in this jungle of seamless virtual walls.”

I agree with you. I just think that the problem goes deeper than social media.

After all social media was created by people, it is happily, readily used by people, we swim in it like fish in the sea. I do not see that certain groups have to force people to use social media by force and that they use it reluctantly. It is so attractive, addictive that people can’t disconnect.

Which means that it fits our Human nature, inclination. It is the same with politics, economics, overconsumption, worshipping celebrities, royal families, rooting for ruthless and exclusive competition, each engaging in activities that lead to success at the expense of others.

In short, we won’t be able to change things on the surface. It is the Human nature that drives all of us, our inherently self-serving, self-justifying egotistic, and exploitative nature that makes leaders from those who lead us and make us accept everything they give us willingly.

Without changing, upgrading our inherent nature and building a more “Nature-like” Human society — where we learn true, positive, mutually responsible, mutually complementing interconnections cooperation above and despite who we were born to — all our “solutions”, “changes” will yield the same, each time worse results.

It is the Human being that creates and nurtures the environment we live in, by changing the Human being we change society not the other way around. (Although we need the right environment as an incubator to change ourselves, but that right environment, the incubator needs to be built first using a special, appropriate educational method).
