Good thinking (and writing)!
I also wonder what the world would look like if everyone tried to cooperate for the common good for just a while. How do we get there? When there are opposing ideas on what is (common) good... And, as you point out, with small minds hijacking/sabotaging the discourse. Would it be more likely to get everyone onboard if we were facing extinction in the very near future? What would it take for the homo sapiens to give up personal unnecessary luxury for more expedient allocation of resources? Is a common goal possible? And even beneficial? Your questions got me thinking and I liked your post a lot.
So I resteemed it and hope many steemians do so more minds can focus on this and get motivated by the optimism you put between the lines here!
Thanks, it is appreciated.
Yes, Aliens or something would likely reset the process but at some point after, we would be here again. I think that there is a way though and i would be through either awareness or an expansion of our intelligence. With very little exception, the highest thinkers and actors among us all call for community. What would happen if everyone on earth was suddenly awakened with a 200 - 300 IQ? I think that for the most part, people would act much much better and those that didn't, the rest could deal with well. Maybe that pill will be discovered soon, doubt it but, maybe.
