Only if human beings understand themselves as free independent beings, capable of self-determination, equipped with creativity, the most powerful transformative energy, we will eventually be able to find new sustainable ways. Human creativity, being the most powerful energy for transformation, is the true capital on which we can build our future on.
Where are the visions? The visions how a desirable future could look like? Throughout history we repeatedly find artists, philosophers and spiritual leaders developing visions. Occasionally they called these vision Utopia. But what about the last decades?
Having resigned and accepted that there is no alternative to capitalism and market economy, the maximum of a vision is apparently how science and technology will change our life within this framework - artificial intelligence, genetics, robotics, block-chain, to name a few keywords. Technology and science eventually will bring us a “better life”. Who still believes that?
Many of us consider our species, the human beings, as very intelligent, because we achieved a significant influence on the planet we live on. We subdued other living beings and we manipulate our planet as we see it fit. But how does the world status look like compared to an imaginative other earth, other planet? What would imaginative living beings from another planet say if they would visit our world and observe us? How would they see the world as it is today?
