Competition or cooperation?

Our Earth, even with its Goldilocks conditions that make life possible, can be a hard place to survive.

Plants and animals have adapted in many ways to this reality. Humans responded by inventing the world.

The primary purpose of the human-designed world is to help us survive and thrive, but through most of our history, it wasn’t designed for the good of all people. It developed in a competitive environment where nations, kingdoms and empires strived to provide for their own over the needs of others.

That has resulted in a lot of world systems that are designed to give advantage to some at the expense of others: a competitive model of success for some and failure for others.

Changing those competitive models to cooperative ones is the single most important task we have if we want to thrive into the future.
