“We do not need to sit around declaring what is wrong or what is coming or what we should fear. We need, instead, immediately and urgently, to discover what it means to form intelligent human collectives. Now. For the first time in modern human history. Which means that we openly recognize that what we are and have been doing is something else. And then invert its shadows, and discover what it means to be human, intelligent, or even alive.
There is no other problem we will face or resolve if we will not face this one first. Telling us what to be afraid of is the opposite of intelligence or action. It is fear-mongering, and it breeds fragmentation, decoherence, and diatribe.
We learn and develop rapidly in small, tightly-knit human unities capable of constant self-education and meaningful action. The meaning of “individual’ must veer into ‘many ways of meaningful belonging’ from its present status of ‘competitor in a resource acquisition race’.
Our species is fundamentally oriented to superfunction in small, tightly-knit groups. We need to take advantage of this potential that is, in our present system, almost universally compromised. No one will do this for us, but we can do this… now.”
