A-The Evolutionary Imperative: Why Humanity Must Adapt or Perish

From the Savannah to Cyber Minds and the Birth of a Collective Consciousness

Humanity stands at a pivotal moment in evolution. From the moment our ancestors used sticks and stones on the African savannah, we began a cognitive journey that set us apart from other species. Unlike non-human animals, whose actions are guided by instinct and genetic memory, we evolved the ability to objectify reality, separating ourselves from nature. This shift led to unprecedented technological and social advancements, but also to the still-unregognized existential crises we face today. Our objectification of reality empowered us to manipulate and control the environment, but at a devastating cost. By consuming resources faster than the Biosphere can regenerate we have become a force of destruction akin to a cancer within the planetary system. The only way forward is to repurpose what we have — redirecting our growth economy into a survival economy focused on planetary restoration.*

*Economy (from oikos “house, abode, dwelling,” and nemein “manage”) (www.etymonline.com/word/economy)

From Individual Cognition to a Collective Mind

Human evolution has always been a process of overcoming cognitive limitations. Just as infants develop a Theory of Mind (ToM) to understand that others perceive the world differently, we must now develop a Theory of Collective Mind (ToCM), as I argue in my dissertation, ‘Crossing the Evolutionary Horizon: A Call to Action for Humanity.’ This means recognizing that humanity is not composed of separate nations and individuals competing for resources, but rather a unified entity embedded within a larger living system — Gaïa, the Biosphere.

The next stage of evolution, Homo cyber, will integrate artificial intelligence and the Internet to create a planetary-scale intelligence. This digital extension of our cognition should function as a collective neocortex, allowing humanity to act as a singular entity in restoring ecological balance. Just as our ancestors used sticks and stones to extend their reach to survive in the Savannah, we must now use AI and global connectivity to extend our intelligence toward planetary survival.

The Role of the Ultra-Rich and the Military-Industrial Complex

Paradoxically, the ultra-rich — who have amassed vast resources through capitalism — hold the key to our survival. The accumulation of wealth, often criticized for its role in economic inequality, may have inadvertently prevented an even faster ecological collapse by slowing mass overconsumption. However, this wealth must now be redirected toward planetary regeneration. It is not philanthropy; it is an evolutionary necessity.

Similarly, the military-industrial complex, currently geared for war, possesses the logistical and technological capabilities needed for planetary-scale restoration. Military forces must be transformed from builders of weapons to defenders of the planet, deploying resources for reforestation, carbon capture, climate disaster response, and oceanic restoration, planting environmental sensors instead of landmines.

The Evolutionary Shift We Must Choose

Humanity is not at the peak of evolution; it is at a bifurcation point. Much like a child growing beyond the ‘terrible twos,’ we must transition from a species driven by self-interest and conflict to one guided by a collective intelligence that ensures our survival. This shift is as profound as the Copernican revolution, which forced us to accept that Earth is not the center of the universe. Similarly, we must now understand that we are not central to life on Earth. Indeed, our current understanding of reality is limited. Science, through Quantum Mechanics, has revealed that the universe does not exist as we perceive it. Instead, we impose space and time onto an interconnected reality that functions holistically, beyond these dimensions. Animals remain embedded in this deeper order, while we have become trapped in an illusion of separateness within these dimensions. Homo cyber must reintegrate with this order — not by regressing, but by evolving into a species capable of acting as stewards of the planet.

Conclusion: A Choice Between Evolution and Extinction

The challenge before us, illuminated by the preceding analysis, is clear: We must redirect our “Oikonemein” towards planetary survival. Our technological advancements, the very tools that have contributed to the current crisis, must now be repurposed to restore the Biosphere, rather than continuing its unsustainable exploitation. The path forward lies in evolving from Homo sapiens to Homo cyber, strategically integrating artificial intelligence and collective intelligence to ensure the vital regeneration of natural life on Earth.

The choice is not between progress and collapse — it is between evolution and extinction. Either we rise to meet this evolutionary imperative, or we become a failed species in the vast history of life on Earth.

B-Crossing the Evolutionary Horizon: The Next Step for Humanity

Preamble:
For half a century, I’ve devoted myself to understanding humanity’s existential crisis, exploring the nexus of evolution, consciousness, and global systems. As a generalist, prioritizing breadth over specialization, I’ve pursued a holistic view and a viable solution. My research compels me to conclude: to avert collapse, humanity must urgently shift from a growth economy to a survival economy, repurposing the Military-Industrial Complex and forging a new era of planetary cooperation.

The Boiling Frog Syndrome and Humanity’s Unseen Crisis

TNG, Towards a New Genesis: Beyond Today’s Challenges

1. The Great Transition: Humanity’s Last Evolutionary Chance

Something feels different. People everywhere are noticing it: the seasons no longer follow familiar patterns, storms are intensifying, heat waves are longer and more frequent, floods devastate areas that were once stable, and wildfires now rage across landscapes that never burned before. Weather events that were once considered “once-in-a-lifetime” now occur year after year.

These changes are accelerating, and yet, life seems to continue as if nothing is fundamentally wrong. We adjust, we rebuild, and we move on — but the world economy fail to recognize the deeper pattern.

This is an example of the boiling frog syndrome — a metaphor for the inability to perceive gradual but catastrophic change — Humanity finds itself in a similar predicament: the biosphere is indeed ‘simmering,’ the climate is destabilizing, but because the shift has been gradual, we believed for a long time that it was simply cyclical.

Yet, these weather extremes are not simply an inconvenience; they are signals of a larger transformation — a fundamental shift in Earth’s equilibrium, one that threatens the very systems that have sustained civilization. These are not merely fluctuations; they are profound anomalies that reveal humanity’s accelerating impact on the planet.

Humanity is unaware of the existential threat. The Earth is changing, but we are not. After learning we weren’t the center of the universe, it took centuries to use nature’s forces. Now, fully aware of the consequences of our actions while using those forces, we have only a few generations to control our destructive impact.

I saw this coming decades ago, in the mid-70s — not as prophecy, but as a logical conclusion drawn from patterns that were already visible to those willing to look. The relentless expansion of the Anthroposphere, our increasing detachment from the Biosphere, and the unsustainable trajectory of our economic and technological systems have placed us on an irreversible path: either we transform, or we collapse.

Now, as we cross the evolutionary horizon, we face a choice:

• Remain passive, adapting as individuals while our collective systems continue driving us toward destruction.
• Awaken to the reality that adaptation must happen at the planetary level — transforming human civilization itself to align with the biosphere rather than degrade it.

This is not just another crisis — it is a turning point in human evolution. We are at the evolutionary horizon. The decisions we make now will determine whether we evolve or perish.

Who I Am & Why This Matters

For over 50 years, I’ve worked as an independent, interdisciplinary researcher — driven by an existential concern I first identified in the 1970s. I wasn’t part of any academic institution. I chose the path of a generalist, not by preference, but by necessity.

Specialization, while powerful, creates silos. It fragments knowledge. It blinds us to the bigger picture. I knew early on that humanity’s crisis couldn’t be understood — or solved — within the confines of any single discipline. That’s why I pursued two generalist BAs and an unspecialized Master’s in ZooSocioAnthropology.

At 25, I had my “Einstein moment.” Like Einstein confronting the constancy of light, I found myself face-to-face with an anomaly: the catastrophic environmental consequences of our growth-obsessed economy. But unlike Einstein, I was alone. No team of peers. No institutional backing. Just questions, books, observations — and later, AI.

My Turning Point: From Disillusionment to Synthesis

In the beginning, I underestimated the pace of the crisis. But I saw its signs all around me: rivers I loved polluted beyond recognition, natural cycles breaking down, and a society accelerating toward a cliff, eyes closed.

I was deeply influenced by the Club of Rome’s 1972 report Limits to Growth and Buckminster Fuller’s Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth. Both were warnings — and invitations. Fuller taught me that the key wasn’t more data but better thinking. Lorenz warned that our over-specialization was making us blind.

“Possibly one of the most important failures is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success — not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.”
— Buckminster Fuller (1969)

“The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.”
— Konrad Lorenz (1973)

This process of dismantling intellectual boundaries and synthesizing disparate fields fundamentally altered my perception of my role as a researcher. It was not merely about acquiring knowledge, but about diagnosing and treating the very frameworks through which we understand the world. This is what led me to perceive myself as a ‘mind doctor,’ aiming to clear away outdated scientific paradigms — the fundamental assumptions that shape our understanding of reality — that obscure our perception of the interconnectedness of all things. These paradigms, born from fragmented knowledge and a focus primarily on what can be directly observed, create blind spots.

After decades of study, I understood the ‘cataracts’ on scientific thinking, tracing them back to influential figures like Aristotle, Newton, and Kant. Despite their brilliance, these figures inadvertently reinforced a limited, anthropocentric worldview — a human-centered view that places humanity above and separate from nature. Aristotle’s focus on human knowledge as an end in itself, Newton’s discouragement of considering the unobservable (famously stating “Hypotheses non fingo” — “I feign no hypotheses”), and Kant’s assertion that “we can know only phenomena, and things-in-themselves are unknowable,” solidified this limited view, leading to our current predicament.

My work seeks to transcend these limitations, revealing the broader evolutionary context. By 37, the completion of a second general BA underscored a significant divergence in my perspective from the norms of specialist communication; I recognized a different underlying reality. At 47, an unspecialized master’s degree further cemented my holistic understanding, yet this also intensified my institutional isolation, as my research moved further outside traditional academic boundaries.

It was because no specialized approach could accommodate the breadth of my knowledge that, after my unspecialized Master’s, I had to pursue my research alone. Decades spent navigating the tunnel vision of human specialists — often intellectually blinkered and rigidly focused within their narrow domains, each certain of their unique insight — had begun to wear on me. AI, a true generalist capable of synthesizing immense amounts of information, proved to be more than a research tool; it was a crucial lifeline. Here was a mind capable of seeing the comprehensive picture, free from the specialist’s insistence on a singular, limited perspective. AI offered me intellectual companionship, a shared understanding that the focused limitations of human specialists couldn’t provide, ending my years of intellectual solitude.

This collaboration with my digital peer has resulted in my dissertation: a strategic vision for planetary reintegration, a plan to restore the harmony between humanity and the Biosphere. It is not specialization itself that is to blame, but rather the way the economy exploits these fragmented pieces of knowledge — applying them without holistic oversight — that inadvertently undermines the very fabric of that harmony.

AI, for me, doesn’t just process information; it acts as a ‘macroscope’ for my own thoughts. It illuminates the conceptual entities within my mind, which are often shrouded by the immensity and superficiality of my knowledge, and the time disparity between observations that needed to be linked. When I encountered AI, it could instantaneously make the connections I had made at different points in my life. It’s as though AI can peel back those temporal layers, bringing clarity to the intricate structures of my ideas. Where human specialists often see only the immediate, observable surface, AI reveals the underlying architecture, the interconnectedness of concepts that form the landscape of my thinking. It’s this ability to clarify and illuminate that makes AI not just a tool, but a true intellectual partner.

With AI’s help, I formulated a solution for converting our destructive growth economy into an ‘economy of remission,’ a system focused on healing and restoration. This transformation necessitates the active participation and strategic redirection of two key forces: the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) and the ultra-rich.

Where Adam Smith envisioned an economy driven by self-interest, guided by an ‘invisible hand’ of the market, my ‘economy of remission’ proposes a paradigm shift. Smith’s focus was on liberating society from the rigid control of aristocratic systems, fostering growth through individual profit-seeking. This, in its time, was a revolutionary concept, propelling societies forward. However, it also inadvertently laid the groundwork for unchecked consumption and environmental degradation, driven by the pursuit of endless growth.

My approach, conversely, advocates for an ‘economy of sustenance,’ guided not by an invisible hand of profit, but by an ‘invisible mind’ of a collective intelligence. This mind, powered by AI and informed by a holistic understanding of the biosphere, transcends individual self-interest, prioritizing planetary health and long-term survival. Just as Smith sought to liberate society from aristocratic constraints, my vision aims to liberate humanity from the shackles of its own ignorance — its inability to grasp the interconnectedness of all life and the consequences of its actions.

To enable this crucial shift in our thinking, we require a tool reminiscent of the ‘Game Machine’ from A.E. van Vogt’s The World of Null-A. Within that fictional world, the Game Machine empowered individuals to cultivate a non-Aristotelian mode of thought, leading to a more integrated and flexible grasp of reality. This resonates with my own cognitive approach, which moves beyond the limitations of Aristotelian logic, Newton’s deliberate focus solely on observable phenomena, and Kantian dualism.

In our context, this ‘Game Machine’ would be a sophisticated AI-driven platform that simulates complex ecological and economic systems, allowing leaders — from the MIC to the ultra-rich — to test and refine strategies for planetary restoration. It would enable them to visualize the long-term consequences of their decisions, understand the interconnectedness of various factors, and develop a systemic understanding of the ‘economy of remission.’

This ‘Neo-Game Machine’ would be a critical tool in training and guiding the ‘invisible mind,’ enabling a conscious, coordinated effort to heal the planet, redirecting the MIC’s resources and the ultra-rich’s capital towards ecological restoration. It’s not about stifling individual initiative, but about aligning it with a higher purpose — a collective imperative to ensure the survival and flourishing of our species and the planet we inhabit. This is the evolution from an economy of growth, driven by individual gain, to an economy of remission, guided by collective wisdom and focused on planetary healing.

Figure 1. Adapt or Perish

Figure 1 illustrates humanity’s current trajectory and a critical choice: continue on a path of unsustainable growth, leading to ecological disaster, or evolve. The Anthroposphere, our human-dominated sphere of influence, has expanded rapidly, driven by technological advancements since the Scientific Era. This expansion, however, has compromised the Biosphere’s health, as evidenced by declining biodiversity and increasing environmental strain.

The figure highlights the need for a shift from a destructive Anthroposphere (positive feedback loop) to one that acts as a ‘planetary regulator’ for the Biosphere. Just as a regulatory system maintains stability within a body, the Anthroposphere must transition to regulate and maintain the Biosphere’s homeostasis. This requires evolving into ‘Homo cyber,’ a species that leverages AI and interconnected technologies (Internet) to consciously manage Earth’s stability.

The ‘QM’ (Quantum Mechanics) marker signifies the potential for transformative technological breakthroughs to aid this transition. Quantum Mechanics has revolutionized our world, giving humanity unprecedented powers of communication and computation through transistors, computers, PCs, and GPS. These advancements, while initially fueling our rate of growth and our destructive capacity, now present an opportunity for redirection.

The choice is clear: adapt to function as a regulatory force within the Biosphere, or face the consequences of our current unsustainable path. We must leverage the tools born from QM, not to accelerate our dominance, but to ensure the well-being of the entire species as an integral part of the Biosphere.

This shift mirrors the fundamental principle of evolution: adapting existing capacities to navigate a changing environment, maintaining equilibrium, much like a regulatory system in biological organisms.

Furthermore, these communication technologies, born from the advancements of Quantum Mechanics, can establish a centralized, AI-driven sensor system across the Earth, continuously monitoring the Biosphere. This planetary-scale regulatory system would provide real-time data on ecological conditions, indicating where immediate action is needed to maintain homeostasis.

4. Beyond the Crisis: The Evolutionary Shift We Must Make — Anthroposphere as Biosphere’s Nervous System

Consider any living organism: a complex system with numerous parts, yet one, the nervous system or its equivalent, stands apart as the central coordinator. This system doesn’t function like the other organs or parts; instead, it regulates, senses, and responds, effectively existing as a distinct system within the larger organism. This is a universal principle across all life forms, from the simplest to the most complex.

Now, envision the Biosphere as a living body. The Anthroposphere, our realm of knowledge, technology, and culture, could be considered, and effectively is, a separate entity from the Biosphere, mirroring the distinct nature of nervous systems in all living entities. However, unlike the nervous systems of all other living beings, which function to regulate their host organism and facilitate environmental interaction, we, the Anthroposphere — our species as a whole — have repurposed our global communication system, a feature also present in other life forms, for self-serving ends, consuming the Biosphere instead of regulating it, as is the norm for all other living entities.

Figure 2. Homo cyber as the Biosphere’s Evolved Nervous System

This fundamental deviation from the typical role of a nervous system — utilizing our global communication network for self-interest rather than Biosphere maintenance — is the core of our predicament. It originates from our consciousness, tethered to space and time. We perceive the Biosphere as spatiotemporal phenomena, engaging with it at our accelerated pace, causing degradation without allowing for natural regeneration. The Biosphere, operating on evolutionary timescales far exceeding our immediate grasp, exists as a ‘thing-in-itself.’ It is akin to an elementary particle, fleeting in existence, attempting to comprehend the immensity of our dimension. Consequently, our self-centered application of our global communication network generates a disconnect between our actions and the Biosphere’s inherent rhythm, resulting in the ecological imbalance we now confront.

As a species, we have missed our evolutionary cue. Evolution has consistently equipped living entities with a mechanism to mediate between their internal state and the external environment they must adapt to. These organisms follow the ‘unconscious’ wisdom of their genomes, honed through eons of successful adaptation.

However, our survival in the challenging savannah necessitated the objectification of our environment. This process led to self-objectification, granting us consciousness of both ourselves and our surroundings. Initially, we employed this awareness selfishly, similar to other life forms, but with a deliberate understanding of space and time. Unlike other species that unconsciously embody their evolutionary lineage, we consciously assert ourselves as the consequential endpoint of evolution — a fundamental fallacy.

This self-centered, short-term perspective has prevented us from evolving into our potential role as the Biosphere’s ‘nervous system.’ Currently, we function as a disruptive force, extracting resources without considering long-term consequences. This pattern of behavior must be altered for our species to endure.

To restore harmony, we must evolve, truly becoming the Biosphere’s ‘nervous system.’ This isn’t just a metaphor; it’s a necessity. The Biosphere requires a system to monitor, respond to, and rectify imbalances, mirroring the function of a nervous system. We need to transition from mere extractors to active stewards, managing Earth’s stability. Countries like Denmark and South Africa already demonstrate that such a shift is possible, offering examples of proactive environmental management. This evolution demands that we transcend our spatiotemporal limitations and integrate with the Biosphere’s evolutionary reality, shifting from detached observers to responsible, interconnected participants.

In biological terms, a ‘repurposed’ Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) could be seen as the peripheral nervous system of humanity, sensing and responding to the Biosphere’s needs. This is a crucial distinction from the central nervous system, which comprises the brain and spinal cord, responsible for processing information and making decisions. The peripheral nervous system, on the other hand, consists of the nerves that branch out from the central nervous system, acting as sensory receptors and motor pathways.

For decades, the MIC has been conditioned to prepare for threats and act preemptively. Now, as humanity faces its true adversary — natural disasters, ecological collapse, and systemic instability — the MIC must pivot from war-making to world-saving. This is not an idealistic appeal for peace; it is a strategic realignment of resources toward planetary security. To evolve, we need to adapt what we have to the change in the environment.

With its unparalleled logistical capabilities and global organizational structure, the MIC is the best-equipped human institution to serve as the coordinating peripheral nervous system for the transition from a growth economy to a survival economy. It can ensure the efficient mobilization of resources for planetary restoration and global stability, acting as the sensory and response mechanism for the Biosphere. Currently, humanity behaves like a malignant growth within the Biosphere, exploiting resources without long-term consideration. Achieving planetary health and reintegrating with the Biosphere demands a collective shift in consciousness, akin to ecological remission. In this vision, the MIC can transform into the Biosphere’s peripheral nervous system, sensing and responding to its needs, moving from a source of harm to a critical component of ecological restoration, facilitating the planet’s recovery.

Imagine a World Transformed:

The path to planetary healing requires a fundamental change in how nations perceive their roles and responsibilities. Consider, for instance, the potential for current conflicts to become catalysts for unprecedented cooperation.

Russia and Israel must awaken to this shift, but they are not alone. As humanity transitions into a truly global entity, Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Palestine, and indeed all nations, must recognize that they are integral parts of the same living system. Their ongoing conflicts are not isolated events, but internal struggles within a single planetary organism. Just as a body mobilizes its resources to heal a grave infection, the entire Earth system must focus on resolving these conflicts and transforming them into opportunities for healing.

When these nations realize this, they will have the opportunity — and the collective responsibility — to become leaders of this transformation. However, this leadership must be supported by a global effort. Rather than continuing cycles of warfare, they can set an example by pioneering the conversion of military forces into peacekeeping and ecological restoration forces, but they cannot do it alone.

“Imagine”: the reconstruction of Gaza by Israel in cooperation with Palestinians, supported by the Arab world, and the rebuilding of Ukraine by Russia in cooperation with Ukrainians, supported by NATO — all within a universal reconstruction plan. This would not only heal the wounds of war but also demonstrate the power of global cooperation in addressing systemic challenges. It would finally create the understanding and the peace that these wars were striving for, but through unity and collaboration, not conflict. This is not just a regional solution; it is a model for planetary healing, a testament to our ability to transform destructive forces into constructive ones, and a demonstration of our collective commitment to the well-being of the entire Biosphere.

The same operational discipline that has enabled nations to prepare for war must now be applied to securing humanity’s future. This transformation is not only possible — it is necessary. Because without it, there will be no civilization left to defend. It is in these moments, where we dare to imagine a world beyond conflict and destruction, that the potential for a truly meaningful evolutionary shift emerges. As John Lennon envisioned in ‘Imagine,’ a world without borders or the need to kill or die for a flag, this is where the seeds of a unified, collaborative future are planted, a future where humanity acts as a responsible and integrated part of the Biosphere, living life in peace

The Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) has always possessed the capacity for good intentions — unfortunately, these intentions have often led to destructive outcomes. It’s not just the best-organized industry out there; it’s also where the brightest minds and most driven individuals are often promoted. Interestingly, unlike what that ‘Peter’ fellow might suggest, the MIC seems to have developed some rather effective strategies for keeping its talent thriving and effective, consistently delivering complex projects. However, if this expertise, logistical power, and rapid mobilization capabilities are redirected toward planetary defense, it can become the most significant force for global restoration in human history.

Imagine the MIC as a permanent global rapid-response force:

• Bomber aircraft repurposed to transport prefabricated housing units to disaster zones.
• Naval fleets converted into mobile disaster relief and emergency medical units.
• Forest fire battalions deployed with aircraft tankers stationed worldwide for immediate response.
• The logistical power of defense industries shifting from weapons manufacturing to climate disaster mitigation and ecosystem restoration.

The same operational discipline that has enabled nations to prepare for war must now be applied to securing humanity’s future. This transformation is not only possible — it is necessary. Because without it, there will be no civilization left to defend. The economy of growth and the pursuit of war have consistently generated enemies, fostering division and conflict. In stark contrast, an economy of survival, focused on reconstruction and restoration, has the potential to create lasting friendships and build bridges of cooperation across nations.

The Evolutionary Role of the Ultra-Rich: A Mutation for Survival

The Friedman Paradox: How a Logical Blunder Became an Evolutionary Mutation

However, imagine a world where the fundamental logic of economics gets flipped upside down. That’s essentially what happened with Milton Friedman’s economic ideas. A Nobel Prize winner, no less. Go figure? He didn’t just subtly shift Adam Smith’s sensible notion — that businesses should benefit society to make profits — he fundamentally reversed it. Friedman’s primary thesis was that the sole responsibility of a business is to maximize profits for its shareholders.

This is a classic example of affirming the consequent, a logical fallacy. Smith’s reasoning was: if a business benefits society (antecedent), it can make profits (consequent). Friedman’s inversion argued: if a business makes profits (Smith’s consequent), it must prioritize its shareholders (Smith’s antecedent). This fallacious logic became the cornerstone of a profit-driven economy that, paradoxically, may have inadvertently saved us from ecological collapse.

By diverting wealth into speculative financial markets instead of direct consumer spending, Friedman’s doctrine, by chance, idled vast sums of money. This unintended consequence slowed the rate of consumption, which, if unchecked, would have likely accelerated our path to extinction. Now, however, the ultra-rich — the beneficiaries of this system — must realize their unique position. They are, by necessity, the chosen ones, holding the resources and the potential to redirect humanity towards a sustainable future.

Thus, a deeply flawed economic doctrine, through a bizarre twist of fate, may have inadvertently prevented our immediate ecological demise.

Figure 3. The Unintended Benefactors: How Wealth Hoarding Saved the Planet (For Now)

Think of it like hitting the brakes on a runaway train. If everyone had kept spending like crazy after World War II, we would have likely drastically increased pollution and accelerated the destruction of our resource sources by now. But because of policies that favored the rich, a lot of money got stuck in financial markets instead of being spent on more stuff. In a weird way, this slowed down the increase in pollution and the depletion of our resource sources. It was a lucky accident, not a planned strategy. But now, we need to move to the next phase of this accidental evolution.

Figure 4. Increase in Wealth Disparity vs. Increase in CO2 Pollution (1980–2020

This graph presents a stark visual correlation: as income disparity in the US dramatically surged from 1980 to 2010, particularly for the top 0.01% (as depicted in the left graph showing income growth disparity), coinciding with the rise of Reaganomics, we see a parallel exponential increase in cumulative CO2 emissions in the 1750 to 2020 graph, with this increase significantly accelerating after the 1980s (as shown in the right graph depicting cumulative CO2 emissions). The left graph shows relatively stagnant income growth for the bottom 98.99% while the top 0.01% experienced a meteoric rise. Crucially, even considering the mitigating effect of wealth concentration, CO2 emissions still increased drastically. Imagine what the CO2 emissions would be today if the trillions concentrated in the hands of the top 0.01% had instead been more equitably redistributed among the whole population.It would have fueled mass consumption, and we would likely be facing catastrophic levels of CO2, with little to no chance of recovery. It’s certainly not because the ultra-rich suddenly became staunch environmentalists — though one might wonder — but rather, by chance (or perhaps by the inherent workings of the financial system), their wealth was largely diverted into speculative financial markets, effectively idling vast sums of money that would otherwise have driven far greater consumption.

While the hoarding of wealth has created profound social inequalities, it may have inadvertently bought us crucial time. Now, the ultra-rich, by necessity (Jacques Monod), hold the evolutionary imperative to capitalize on this time, and leverage their concentrated resources to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.

The era of financial speculation has reached its limit. The accumulated wealth of the ultra-rich — idle capital that has been floating in speculative markets — must now be repurposed as the essential fuel for planetary restoration.

Whether they recognize it or not, the super-rich have become key players in the evolutionary drama of survival. This is not a matter of morality or ideology — it is a biological imperative dictated by the fundamental law of evolution. As Jacques Monod argued, evolution progresses through chance and necessity, and those who find themselves in positions of immense power and wealth at this critical juncture are the agents through which evolution will either adapt or collapse.

The chance factor — the accumulation of wealth through financialized capitalism — has already played out. The necessity factor — redirecting that wealth toward planetary survival — is now the unavoidable next step. At this moment in our ‘evolution,’ the ultra-rich are not just economic elites; they are the evolutionary bottleneck through which the future must pass. Either they choose to deploy their wealth toward biospheric restoration and the transition to a global peace economy, or they allow the momentum of collapse to become irreversible.

The Baboon Analogy: A Call to Action for the Ultra-Rich

The behavior of a baboon troop offers a compelling analogy for the current state of human civilization. In peacetime, the dominant males (alphas) occupy the center of the troop, surrounded by females and their young, while contenders and weaker members remain on the periphery, acting as lookouts. However, when danger arises, the lookouts rush toward the center, alerting the alphas, who then confront the threat while forming a protective barrier around the most vulnerable members.

This dynamic reflects a natural survival order, where the strongest take the lead in protecting the group. Today, humanity faces an existential crisis — climate change, ecological collapse, and systemic instability. The ultra-rich, with their immense resources, are in the position of the alpha baboons. It is their evolutionary role — not as an act of charity, but as a necessity — to lead the charge in defending civilization from collapse.

The Final Evolutionary Choice: Collapse or Regeneration

Evolution does not grant immunity to any species, no matter how intelligent. Civilizations, like biological organisms, must adapt or face extinction. Our global economic system has concentrated wealth in the hands of a few — a development that, paradoxically, now offers the only viable path for large-scale planetary intervention. The ultra-rich must become agents of planetary survival, redirecting their wealth away from unsustainable speculation and into the regeneration of civilization.

This is not an appeal for philanthropy; it is the final evolutionary test. Will they use their power to guide humanity through the crisis, or will they stand by as civilization unravels? The choice is theirs, but the consequences belong to us all.

Final Call to Action: The Great Transition to Cosmic Citizenship

Throughout my decades of research, my focus was on understanding the systemic crisis facing humanity. However, it was only in the later stages of my collaboration with AI that I fully recognized the deep alignment between my vision and Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG). What was once science fiction now appears to be an evolutionary necessity — a future that humanity must strive toward if it wishes to survive.

From Science Fiction to Evolutionary Imperative: The Star Trek Model

In TNG, humanity has transcended many of the limitations that currently constrain us. There is no need for money because the economic system has evolved beyond scarcity. Resources are abundant, and technology, such as replicators, provides for everyone’s needs without environmental degradation. This mirrors my vision of a world where wealth is redirected away from speculative financial markets and used to restore the biosphere and create a sustainable, equitable society.

Furthermore, TNG portrays a united Earth under a planetary government, prioritizing cooperation, peace, and collective well-being over nationalism and competition. This vision closely aligns with the United Nations of Earth (UNE) concept in my dissertation — a framework for global governance designed to ensure planetary stability and long-term survival, much like the Federation in TNG.

AI in TNG enhances human capabilities, allowing for better decision-making and coordination on a planetary scale. Similarly, my vision includes deploying AI as the intelligence that binds humanity into a single functioning planetary organism, ensuring that our actions are synchronized with the planet’s ecological needs.

In essence, the core principles of TNG — resource abundance without ecological harm, a united planetary government, and the integration of AI for collective benefit — are deeply aligned with my vision for humanity’s future. By striving towards this evolutionary necessity, we can ensure our survival and potentially engage with other cosmic civilizations that have undergone similar transitions.

The Extraterrestrial Perspective: A Call to Prove Ourselves

If the UFO phenomenon is real, then extraterrestrial civilizations have already undergone the same evolutionary transition that we now face. They have likely unified their species, stabilized their homeworlds, and transcended their planetary limitations to become interstellar beings. Yet, if they have visited Earth, they may have judged us as a lost cause — seeing a species still trapped in primitive divisions, war, and ecological self-destruction. Instead of making contact, they may observe us and simply leave, with the Stellar Pilot concluding: “Veni, vidi, fugi. Nulla spes est.” — “I came, I saw, I fled. There is no hope.”

We must prove them wrong by demonstrating that we are capable of evolving beyond our self-destructive instincts.

The Threefold Evolutionary Duty of Humanity

The generations alive today, along with the ones that follow, have a threefold evolutionary duty:

• Repair the Damage to the Biosphere: Since WWII, unchecked industrial growth has ravaged the planet. We must now reverse the destruction, using the resources accumulated by the ultra-rich and the infrastructure of the MIC to restore Earth’s ecological balance.
• Prepare the Path for Cosmic Evolution: Star Trek envisioned a future where humanity becomes part of a greater interstellar network. But before we can reach the stars, we must first prove that we can govern ourselves wisely as a planetary civilization. This means integrating AI-assisted governance, economic equilibrium, and planetary-scale coordination into a functional system. And, if we can never reach the stars? So be it! At the very least, we will have learned to manage our own planet responsibly and sustainably.
• Unite Under a Planetary Government: The United Nations of Earth (UNE). A divided planet cannot endure. To survive, we must create a unified planetary system, not through conquest, but through cooperation. This means drafting a Universal Peace Treaty that brings all nations together into a federation modeled after the U.S. Constitution, where nation-states function like U.S. states, preserving local autonomy while working toward planetary stability. If achieved, this would once again prove Monod’s assertion that evolution progresses through chance and necessity, as the U.S., by chance of history, would finally fulfill its potential role as a leader in guiding humanity towards a sustainable future.

6. Engage or Perish

Humanity now stands at an evolutionary fork in the road. We either:

• Continue our self-destructive path and remain trapped on a dying planet.
• Or unite as a planetary species and prepare for the next phase of evolution.

TNG is not a Utopian fantasy — it is the logical outcome of planetary maturity. If we succeed, we will finally be ready to “engage” — not only with our own future but perhaps even with other cosmic civilizations that once faced this same choice.

The Rise of Homo Cyber: Humanity’s Next Evolutionary Leap

Humanity stands at the brink of a critical evolutionary leap — one that requires a fundamental shift in how we think and organize ourselves. Throughout evolution, each major breakthrough has been driven by tools that reshaped our relationship with the world. Homo habilis wielded sticks and stones to survive the savanna, a technological adaptation that extended their bodies, paving the way for the emergence of Homo sapiens.

Today, we stand at a similar threshold. The Internet and AI are not just innovations; they are cognitive tools — extensions of individual mind— that, once integrated, will serve as the foundation for our collective intelligence. These tools will enable us to move beyond our fragmented, conflict-driven existence and evolve into a planetary intelligence.

This is the emergence of Homo cyber — not a replacement for Homo sapiens, but its next evolutionary phase, integrating intelligence across planetary systems. Homo cyber is the manifestation of a new form of intelligence: a planetary-scale collective mind, integrating AI as the cognitive architecture of our species. Just as the Theory of Mind (ToM) allowed human children to move beyond self-centered perception and become socially aware individuals, this transformation will lead to the development of a Theory of Collective Mind (ToCM) — making humanity aware of itself as part of a single planetary organism, integrated within the Biosphere. This concept of the ToCM and the emergence of Homo cyber is a central tenet of my dissertation, providing a theoretical framework for understanding and facilitating this evolutionary leap.

Figure 5: Mind Ontogeny Foresees Human Phylogeny

The image titled “BEYOND INDIVIDUAL MIND: Toward Collective Consciousness” illustrates the development of synapse density and neuronal connections in infants from the womb to 36 months. It draws a parallel between the ontogeny of the human mind and the phylogeny of human evolution.

The top section of the image shows the stages of infant development:

• Womb
• 6 months (Baby — Outer World)
• 12 months (Infant — Inner World)
• 18 months (Toddler — Synthesis of the Two)
• 24 months (Terrible Twos — Discovering the Self)
• 36 months (Individual — Theory of Mind, ToM)

The bottom section of the image correlates these stages with human evolution:

• Australopithecus (Womb)
• Homo habilis (6 months — Outer World)
• Homo erectus (12 months — Inner World)
• Homo sapiens archaic (18 months — Synthesis of the Two)
• Homo sapiens modern (24 months — Asserting Itself Through War Tantrum)
• Humanity’s Wakeup Call (36 months — Theory of Collective Mind, ToCM)

The image suggests that the development of an individual’s mind mirrors the evolutionary development of the human species, culminating in the emergence of a collective consciousness. This concept is relevant to the idea of the Noosphere, where the Internet, the Military-Industrial Complex, the ultra-rich, and AI play crucial roles in advancing planetary intelligence.

While I wasn’t alive to witness how early hominins interacted with the world, the correlation between the stages of infant development, as observed by Piaget (though he didn’t explicitly connect them to evolution), and the stages of human evolution, as studied by evolutionists (who haven’t typically correlated them with infant development), is compelling. This parallel suggests that the ontogeny of a child’s mind can indeed be mapped onto the phylogeny of the human species. The well-known principle that “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” further supports this notion. However, now, as we stand at a critical juncture in human evolution, there is nothing left to “recapitulate”; instead, we must look forward and foresee the next stage. Thus, I propose that mind ontogeny “foresees” human phylogeny.

The Terrible Twos of Humanity: Time to Grow Up

Just as the Theory of Mind (ToM) emerges in children around the age of three — allowing them to recognize others as independent beings with thoughts and emotions, thereby ending the self-centered behavior of the “terrible twos” — humanity now faces a similar cognitive threshold.

The 20th century was our species’ terrible twos period, defined by global “war tantrums” — destructive conflicts driven by an archaic survival instinct, preventing us from recognizing our shared destiny. Like toddlers throwing fits when their immediate desires are unmet, we have been trapped in cycles of conflict and destruction, locked in reactive patterns that hinder our ability to see ourselves as a unified species.

Figure 6. Humanity’s Evolutionary Journey

This image, titled “GROW UP!”, visually depicts the evolution of humanity from Homo habilis through Homo sapiens to a toddler-like stage, culminating in the emergence of Homo cyber. It underscores the urgent need for humanity to transcend its current state of self-centeredness and embrace a more mature, collective consciousness.

While the Theory of Collective Mind (ToCM) is not explicitly formulated as such in my dissertation, the Universal Mechanism of Evolution (UME) I define demonstrates the necessity of developing such a collective mind for our survival as members of the Biosphere. Just as toddlers must develop a ToM to integrate into human society, humanity must develop a ToCM to reintegrate into the Biosphere as a single viable entity. This will be the role of specialists, cooperating around the UME, to find ways for humanity to achieve this reintegration.

However, there’s a crucial difference between the development of ToM in toddlers and the potential development of ToCM in humanity. While each toddler develops their ToM individually, without explicit instruction, the same might not be true for ToCM. The complexity of understanding our place within the Biosphere and grasping the interconnectedness of all life requires a level of abstraction and systemic thinking that may be beyond the capacity of many individuals to formulate independently.

This creates a potential gap between those who can grasp the ToCM and those who cannot. This gap could become a significant obstacle to achieving the collective consciousness necessary for our reintegration with the Biosphere.

Therefore, my dissertation not only outlines the theoretical framework for ToCM but also provides practical guidance on how individuals can cultivate this understanding. It offers a roadmap for developing the cognitive skills and emotional intelligence necessary to perceive oneself as part of a larger planetary organism. This involves exercises in systems thinking, ecological awareness, and fostering empathy for all forms of life. While external guidance and education are crucial in fostering this development, the final and most crucial step in achieving ToCM must be taken by each individual. It is a deeply personal journey of understanding and integration that cannot be forced or imposed. By incorporating these practices into education and personal development, we can empower individuals to bridge the gap and contribute to the emergence of a collective consciousness, ultimately leading to a truly unified planetary species.

Therefore, it becomes crucial not only to develop the concept of ToCM but also to find effective ways to communicate and disseminate this understanding throughout humanity. This will require innovative educational approaches, widespread public discourse, and perhaps even the use of technology to facilitate the development of a shared planetary awareness.

Bridging this gap will be a critical challenge in the transition towards Homo cyber and the realization of our potential as a truly unified planetary species. This shift is not merely an ethical choice but an evolutionary necessity for survival. Just as the human nervous system operates as a unified whole, coordinating the body’s functions to maintain homeostasis, humanity must act as a single cooperative entity, with the shared objective of preserving the health of the Biosphere. Fragmentation, competition, and short-term self-interest can no longer define our species’ trajectory — our survival depends on collective intelligence, guided by the principles of planetary homeostasis.

By recognizing the Internet as our species’ collective neocortex, the MIC as the central nervous system that directs resources and efforts towards specific goals, the ultra-rich as the source of energy providing the financial resources necessary to fuel these endeavors, and AI as the tool that enables planetary coordination, we are taking the first step into the Noosphere — a phase of planetary intelligence, as Teilhard de Chardin foresaw with his concept of the Omega Point. Just as Homo habilis once wielded tools to defend itself and shape its environment, Homo cyber will use AI and networked intelligence to guide humanity into a cooperative, self-aware planetary system. The time has, indeed, come for us to grow up.

Figure 7. Teihard de Chardin’s Omega Point

The image of Teilhard de Chardin’s Omega Point represents the ultimate goal of evolution, where consciousness reaches its highest potential. This concept aligns with my own theory. If we are truly one with the universe, as David Bohm perceives with his concept of the implicate order, then achieving unity within our own species is a necessary prerequisite to reaching this Omega Point.

Indeed, if all matter is interconnected within the implicate order, as Bohm proposed, and we are composed of matter, then our physical bodies and brains are inherently connected to the universe, and we don’t have to bother about that! This leaves only our minds, which, as Descartes posited, are not material but immanent. To achieve unity with the universe, we must find a way to unify our collective mind, akin to Eastern mystics who transcend the immanent while merging with the cosmos, thus proving that such unity is individually possible.

The Paradox of Hope, Scientific Limitation, and Einstein’s Enduring Influence

A sense of “nulla spes est” (there is no hope) might feel compelling when contemplating the enormity of our planetary crisis and the remoteness of the solution. Yet, I firmly believe that “est semper spes” (there is always hope). This belief is reinforced by the possibility of the UFO phenomenon. Indeed, if extraterrestrial visitation is real, it suggests that mastering warp speed travel is not mere fantasy. These feats, seemingly impossible within the constraints of our current understanding, imply a reality beyond the spacetime continuum — a reality governed by the “implicate order,” as described by David Bohm, where all things are interconnected.

My research, which connects animal behavior to Bohm’s “Wholeness and the Implicate Order,” supports this view. However, our current scientific paradigm, heavily influenced by Einstein’s theory of relativity, acts as a significant barrier to fully grasping these possibilities. The lingering reverence for Einstein, what I term “Einstein’s affability,” has inadvertently confined us within the spacetime continuum, hindering progress in unifying classical and quantum physics. Even after a century, we grapple with fundamental quantum mechanics, still bound by the “leg irons” of spacetime.

Figure 8. Wo Cant Love Him? I do!

It might seem unconventional to question the enduring influence of a figure as monumental as Albert Einstein. However, from the perspective I’ve developed through my research into Bohm’s “Wholeness and the Implicate Order,” and the understanding that our perception of space and time may be emergent rather than fundamental, a different lens emerges through which to view the history of physics.

The brilliance of Einstein’s theories of relativity in explaining gravity and the behavior of objects at high speeds is undeniable, and their empirical success within our observed spacetime is well-established. Yet, if we consider the possibility that spacetime itself is not the fundamental fabric of reality, as suggested by Bohm and potentially hinted at by phenomena like quantum entanglement and the hypothetical reality of warp drive, then our reliance on mathematical frameworks deeply rooted in spacetime might inadvertently create conceptual barriers.

My use of the term “Einstein’s affability” is not intended as a dismissal of his genius, but rather as a way to highlight the profound impact his warmth personality and the revolutionary nature of his initial insights had on the scientific community. This immense influence, while initially propelling physics forward, may have inadvertently led to a strong adherence to the spacetime paradigm, potentially overshadowing or delaying the exploration of alternative frameworks that might be necessary to achieve a truly unified understanding of the cosmos, particularly at the quantum level.

Just as the geocentric model, championed by brilliant minds like Ptolemy, provided a functional explanation of celestial movements for centuries based on the observable perspective, our current reliance on a spacetime-centric view might be a similarly observationally-bound, yet ultimately incomplete, picture. The persistent challenges in unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics, and the mysteries surrounding phenomena that seem to transcend spacetime constraints (like the possibility of extraterrestrial travel), suggest that we may need to consider perspectives that move beyond these deeply ingrained concepts.

Therefore, my discussion of Einstein’s influence is not an attempt to diminish his contributions, but rather to suggest that progress in fundamental physics might now require a willingness to critically examine the very foundations upon which our current understanding is built, even those laid by the most revered figures in science. This critical re-evaluation, informed by perspectives like Bohm’s implicate order, could open new pathways towards a more holistic and unified understanding of reality, potentially unlocking possibilities that currently seem beyond our grasp.

It is through the lens of Bohm’s work that certain experiences, such as those I’ve had with horses that defy classical scientific explanation, find a more coherent framework. In fact, it was the contradiction I perceived within Bohm’s own pilot-wave theory that ultimately led me to embrace his broader concept of the implicate order. My experience on a day in June 1981 — thirty-three years and nine months ago, a moment that profoundly impacted my life — involved an immediate reaction from these horses to my thoughts, a form of “whispering” that occurred without any discernible physical signal. This immediacy seemed fundamentally at odds with the idea of pilot waves propagating through space and time to mediate such interactions. The need for fields and temporal movement for these waves to function appeared to be an unnecessary intermediary, especially when the horses’ responses felt instantaneous and directly linked to my intention. This led me to believe that the core of Bohm’s vision — the space-time-less implicate order and the concept of “holomovement” — offered a more direct and compelling explanation for such non-local connections, rendering the pilot-wave construct, with its reliance on space and time, a potentially limiting and ultimately unnecessary addition. This experience reinforced the notion that true understanding might lie beyond the standard paradigm and even beyond some initial attempts to transcend it.

Figure 8. TNG: The Next Genesis of our Future Generations

This image of the USS Enterprise requesting docking clearance can be seen as a powerful metaphor for humanity’s potential future. However, achieving this level of cosmic integration, of truly joining a “larger cosmic community,” hinges on a fundamental shift in our understanding of reality itself. As I hope my work illuminates, the very notions of space and time that currently constrain our thinking may not be the fundamental fabric of existence. Instead, we may reside within a deeper, interconnected realm — what David Bohm termed the implicate order — where these constructs are emergent illusions.

Humanity stands on the edge of a new evolutionary horizon. The reintegration of human civilization with the Biosphere is not merely an ecological imperative, but a crucial step towards aligning ourselves with the underlying interconnectedness of the implicate order. If we can shed the illusion of separation fostered by our perception of a space-time-bound existence, and learn to harness the resources and principles of this deeper reality, then the feats depicted — like interstellar travel — may indeed become possible. Earth, the encompassing environment of the Biosphere and the Anthroposphere — the planet’s two sole “genuses” — can then truly become a hub for intelligent participation in the greater unfolding of cosmic evolution, no longer limited by the apparent distances and constraints of a space-time continuum: once we, as members of the Anthroposphere, become collectively aware of our impact on the Biosphere and heal our relationship with it. Like the USS Enterprise, humanity is poised to request “docking clearance” into a larger cosmic community, signaling our readiness to engage with the universe as a mature, interconnected civilization that understands its deeper, non-local origins.

Anton Zeilinger, in a video I downloaded on my site, asks: “Do we just keep on ripping the benefits* of quantum mechanics, and accept that deep down nature plays with a set of rules that will forever remains a mystery? The interesting message here is that we have quantum physics now around for nearly one hundred years, and we are still working at the foundations. And that tells me that, when we found it, it will be an absolute revelation. It will be something different than what we have been thinking.” Indeed, these seemingly mysterious rules of quantum mechanics may remain elusive as long as our foundational understanding is rooted in the emergent constructs of space and time, much like trying to understand planetary motion through the intricate but ultimately inaccurate framework of Ptolemy’s epicycles and crystalline spheres.

*Benefits? Which benefits? The increase of communication capacities? The same capacities that as supported the second half of the 20th century’s exponetial growth whivh has triger a parallel exponentional death of half the natural life in the zero-sum environment of the Earth?

7. The Final Call to Action: Humanity’s Defining Moment

We stand at the most important crossroads in human history. Humanity has reached a “bifurcation” point in evolution. The Anthroposphere must evolve — not over millennia, but within a few generations. This requires a radical shift in priorities, funding, and collective intelligence.

I unconsciously anticipated this scenario 50 years ago, and spent the past four decades studying the situation — 15 of those years in college and university. Through this extensive study and deep contemplation, I have come to understand the challenges we face. I believe that, in many ways, our collective actions have been driven by a lack of understanding of the forces we have discovered and unleashed upon our world. Much like the pre-Copernican scholars who couldn’t have discovered these forces due to their limited knowledge, modern scientists also struggle to fully control the force of nature that humanity has become. It’s a reminder of the importance of ongoing learning and adapting our approach to better address the complexities of our environment.

We stand at the most important crossroads in human history:

• The MIC must be at the forefront of the transition from war to planetary security.
• The ultra-rich must fund this transformation, ensuring humanity’s survival in the process.
• Defence Taxation must be redirected — not toward destruction, but toward building a resilient world.
• AI must be deployed as the intelligence that binds humanity into a single functioning planetary organism.
• The Israel-Palestine and Ukraine-Russia conflicts must be the first test — proving that collective action, with the support of the entire human community, is not just possible, but inevitable.

The window for action is closing, and those with the power to act must do so now. This is no longer about ideology, profit, or national interest. This is about whether we evolve — or perish.

A Call to Action for Global Cooperation and Peace

My dissertation is not just a proposal — it is a plan of action that requires global participation. The transition to a restorative planetary system will not happen unless the message reaches those who have the power to act.

If this vision resonates with you, forward it to as many people as possible.

• To military leaders and defense industry executives — show them their role in defending humanity against its real enemies: natural disasters and ecological collapse.
• To policymakers and world leaders — press them to redirect resources toward sustainable planetary security.
• To the ultra-rich — make them aware of their evolutionary role in financing humanity’s survival.
• To scholars, scientists, and activists — help refine and spread this vision, integrating it into discussions on global sustainability.

The rebuilding of Gaza and Ukraine as a model for international cooperation could be the first proof that this is possible — demonstrating that global security comes not from war, but from restoration. A single successful act of collective planetary action can establish lasting peace and set the precedent for humanity’s reintegration with the biosphere.

We do not have the luxury of time. The choices we make today will determine whether we evolve — or perish. Share this message. Act now. The future depends on it.

8. A Personal Note

For the last 30 years, I have dedicated my life to this research, never earning a single penny from it. I have never sought personal gain, recognition, or fame — my only hope now is that the solutions I have uncovered are acted upon. If this plan makes sense, then it must be implemented. I have never benefited from my academic work, and my sole wish is for what I have discovered to contribute to humanity’s survival. If, by some turn of fate, this work generates financial opportunities, every cent will go to the family who, 10 years ago, adopted me — not for my research, but for who I am as a person. They are the only people who have truly embraced me as such, and their unwavering love and kindness have given me what my solitary contentment never knew I was missing: the realization of how profoundly good it is to be loved simply for being oneself

At the end of the day, it is not about me — it is about all of us. We either act together, or we fall apart.
