My efforts were directed at showing that our evolutionary situation is characterized by two highly neglected transitions – the first being the chain of events unleashed when we began to produce additional organs, the second equally decisive one being the shift from gaining energy using predatory strategies to making a living through transactional processes.
Overcoming the psychosplit that these transitions dramatically
and inevitably provoked is, in my opinion, a priority for humanity, which
often appears to lack a common goal and is overly devoted to the pursuit
of instant gratification. It may well be that this “me-generation” orientation
has progressed to a point of no return, to our great detriment. We have
clearly reached a crucial fork in the road. Either we continue trodding
blindly down the same old path, which in my opinion would ultimately lead
to the self-destruction of life on our planet. Or we choose the other path
and attempt to make humankind’s long-held dreams a reality.
