An Optimistic Case for the Future of Humanity
<p>Humanity is in a midlife crisis. It might not be a bad thing.</p>
<p>Here’s the logic. In the same way that our early adult lives are spent climbing a ladder and elbowing competitors out of the way, the human species has spent the past several thousand years engaged in a constant internecine battle for control of scarce resources. And in the same way that midlife can move us past such pettiness to search instead for greater meaning in our lives, perhaps humanity itself is on the cusp of tossing aside our rivalries and graduating to a higher level of cooperation.</p>
<p>Sound lofty? I’m convinced that it’s not just possible but probable. That is, if enough of us can realize a simple but powerful secret that is at once ancient and modern.</p>
