What direction do you think humanity will evolve towards?
Assuming things go on over the next 10 thousand or so years, what do you think the pinnacle of intelligent life will resemble then?
What - if any - new physical/mental abilities/attributes do you think mankind might possess?
We will have to switch onto a qualitatively different evolution path.
Up to this point we evolved by our ego, as the selfish ego pushed humanity towards development, newer inventions, discoveries.
But by today the ego has reached its maximum development, and at the same time the world has become global, interconnected and interdependent.
The same ego that helped us so far, is now the enemy, as we eat each up other alive, we are completely intermingled, and there is nowhere to run, but at the same time we depend on each other for our basic necessities.
So we actually need to change human nature and instead of the selfish, egoistic attitude we relate to each other at the moment, we need to build a new humanity based on unconditional giving and love.
I know that at first it sounds utopian, and unrealistic, but very soon we will realize through problems and crisis situations, that we do not actually have a choice.
So which direction we go still depends on us, but at the end if we want to survive there is only one path.
The question is if we go there willingly, or we are pushed from behind.
The good news is that if we go willingly and consciously we can achieve a new degree of existence even within our lifetime, we do not have to wait thousands of years.
I hope it helps, all the best.
