    It’s FAR more-profound than that: humankind’s instinct has to be fundamentally-force-recalibrated.

    The Great Filter.

    Exactly as bootcamp can force-remanufacture someone’s unconscious-mind, their instinct, their identity, their ego, their “nature”,

    exactly as back in the Tribal Mother Village time, before agriculture, it was Nature which did that to … those-who-survived,

    humankind needs to do that, but at th whole-population scale.


    All the different “religions” which have “apocalypse” predictions/prophecies, many of them could be dropped into ALL worlds which do what our world’s been doing…

    < world has ape-nature people, & it reaches its 1st Industrial Revolution, the Roman Empire equivalent stage, the seedling of the future cascade-of-Industrial-Revolutions >

    drop prophecies in, about food-security-wars being global, about end-of-Age-corrupt-empire, about end-of-Age-corrupt-empire-corrupt-leader ( Nero at the end of the previous Age, Trump at the end of the Age of Pisces ), about food-chain-collapse, about migration-wars, about rampaging-imperialism, about DarkTriad/DarkTetrad ruling the world, & if there are significant glaciers on the planet, which are about to be melted, throw-in all the earthquakes & volcanoes predictions, due to tectonic-flexing as thousands-of-cubic-km-of-water gets moved from frozen-on-land to liquid-in-ocean, too…

    < let the Age go by, so the seedling is ripening, until… >

    suddenly, 15-centuries ( or so ) after the Roman Empire’s expiry, the sapling-stage begins: Industrial Age ( coal/steam/steel ) and then Industrial Age ( communications, telegraph, radio, etc ) and then Industrial Age ( information, computing-machines ), etc is happening…

    NOW the breaking of the climate’s Equilibrium is forced ( all the “clearing of the forests” to “improve” Earth were just making-certain that this would be impossible to recover from ), with the burning of fossil-fuels…

    NOW the redistribution-of-tectonic-forces ( melting ) sets-up the increasing of quakes & volcanoes ( happening, now, btw… quake-swarms on both west & east sides of California, all around the Pacific Plate, volcanoes in Phillipines?Indonesia?, Killuea, & there’s 1 which is 1.3km below the ocean-surface which is putting ash 2.7km up into the sky, yesterday… )…

    NOW the technology-multiplying-our-effect means that Nature CANNOT survive our butchery, so the food-chain’s being butchered, & sooner-or-later that’s going to become … fatal.

    NOW AMOC is shutting-off.

    NOW political-rabies-is-highjacking-countries.

    NOW religious/ideological-rabies-is-highjacking-countries.

    etc…


    So, what’s the solution?

    Change our unconscious-mind, our ego, our identity, our instinct.

    Universe will corner us into either growing-up-or-extinguishing, so it’s guaranteed.

    We WON’T, grow-up, though, until forced, so … there won’t be many left alive, in 6-decades.

    It isn’t merely-local: it’s racial/whole-species.

    The Great Filter.

    Either we change-our-nature, XOR we extinguish.

    This century.

    Which, tbh, is exactly what happened to individuals back in the Tribal Mother Village Time, when they lived among jungle…

    No merely-local “fix” is going to change-the-game.

    No merely-superficial “fix” is going to change anything meaningful.

    Humankind has to change its nature, XOR extinguish.

    Just like all worlds do.

    Get past species-“puberty” XOR don’t.

    If not, then … universe will try elsewhere, eventually.
