While these developments have become staggeringly successful achievements, they are not without subtle and significantly challenging omissions, causing serious repercussions (a subject for another time. Today it is looking like another rabbit hole.) Humanity’s expansion of thinking has not as yet demonstrated enough development to stave off the deterioration of more subtle inabilities to cope with the challenges facing self and the planet.
Complicating matters, other creatures besides humanity have their own drives to survive, expand, thrive, reproduce, and avoid extinction. Each creature has it’s individual strategy, which at times undermines human health and, by extension, threatens to undermine all of humanity.
Furthermore, humanity has inadvertently contributed numerous self-destruct mechanisms and engaged in its own unnecessary and unhealthy behaviors. Many of humanity’s’ crises have often been self-inflicted. Despite all its successes, the mass of humanity is observably not totally healthy, and the planet shows signs of seriously deteriorating health.
