What is the Root Cause of Global Crises, including Climate Change?
Since it’s better to cure a disease than to treat the symptoms, we have to ask ourselves seriously what has caused all the global crises such as climate change, military conflicts, racial prejudice, gender inequality, et cetera.
Capitalism is not the answer to the question, because inequalities and wars existed long before the arrival of capitalism. Money and power are not the cause either, for they only allow their owner to do more things than those who don’t possess them. These things include the good, the bad and the ugly. As money and power don’t make decisions, it’s us that make choices.
Obviously, we are the makers of all man-caused crises. We do things out of human nature such as selfishness, greed, laziness, ignorance, vanity, jealousy, lust, et cetera. Such characteristics are the root cause.
Artificial systems like capitalism and culture can be changed but our nature is difficult to alter. To overcome the dark side of human nature we must find a way of becoming super smart.
As an intelligent species, we either go intelligent or go extinct. I suggest intelligent revolutions for our survival and prosperity.
