As we saw in the previous chapters that “The Human Condition”, which in turn is a result of how we evolved, is the reason how and why we ended up like this – unable to live meaningfully and flourish on this Earth. Thus, by unraveling the psychological, social, and existential forces that drive us, we can pinpoint the single core issue that keeps all these (and even future) systems in dysfunction.
The Core Idea: One Problem, Endless Solutions
Our systems – democracy, capitalism, governance – were built with good intentions but as always, they will eventually get hijacked by greedy interests and groups for their own advantages and survival. What if the reason for their failure isn’t the systems themselves, but the root cause: the fundamental problem of the human condition?
This isn’t just about tweaking policies or creating new ideologies – it’s about understanding how humans have evolved, what drives our behavior, and how we can create new systems that actually serve us. And this one issue, this only problem humanity needs to solve, can be the key to a more equitable, thriving, and sustainable society.
And that brings me to the core of my premise:
What if the only problem humanity truly needs to solve is this —
“Breaking Out of The Human Condition!”
Which, at its heart, simply means:
“We as Humans Collectively Agree to Evolve Consciously”
In other words:
Figuring out why we’re here and live with that purpose rather than getting on this meaningless rat race hamster wheel and wage slavery as soon as we are born to the day we die.
If we can’t figure that ever, then at least agree and figure out collectively as to how to live a happy, fulfilling/meaningful & free life for everyone on this earth. How to make the best use of this 100 or so years bestowed to us by this mysterious universe, freeing us from the meaningless grind of the daily survival wage slavery.
Having framed the challenge — breaking out of the Human Condition — the natural question that follows is: how could this ever be achieved? In the next chapter, we explore the path forward, examining why it is a tall order, and yet how it could become possible.
