For one thing, we need to change the basic human psychology, from being the linear, goal oriented creatures we currently operate as, to ones understanding the cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality in which we exist.
First and foremost is to understand time.
As mobile organisms this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our sense of time is the present going past to future.
Given it is the basis of our thought process, it is foundational to culture and civilization, as narrative and history.
Yet the evident fact is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.
It's like trying to figure out how the cosmos swirls east to west, before realizing the earth is turning west to east.
There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.
It's like a tapestry being woven of strands constantly being pulled from what was woven.
Energy is conserved, because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound, as frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.
The energy, as present, goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past.
Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.
Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past.
Suggesting consciousness manifests as an energy. Though it's the digestive system processing the energy and feeding the flame, while the nervous system sorts the patterns, signals from the noise.
Thus the intellectual tendency to focus on the patterns, rather that the much more fleeting processes generating them.
The problem is that humanity existed, up until quite recently in evolutionary terms, in fairly defined tribal units, where one's status was naturally a function of what one added to the group, so self centered behaviors were illogical.
As we have moved beyond that, to larger nation states and now a global community, the situation has become far more complex and confusing.
For one thing, culture still tends to treat good and bad as some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, because of how the group functions as a social super organism.
Yet the reality is they are the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. The 1/0 of sentience.
While our technology has become quite complex, much of our sociology remains in a dark age.
For instance, as the super organism, societies develop government as a communal nervous system, while forms of money and banking function as blood and the circulation system.
As individuals function as cells within this body, we tend to resent the power of governments, while savoring the potentials of money. Which has given banking much of the power.
With public government and private banking, the banks are in control and the only real job those allowed in office currently seem to have, is running up the debt the banks need to grow metastatically.
So we are now in a situation, especially in the West, where this medium of exchange has been turned into a system of siphoning as much value out of the rest of the society as possible and now one's status is a function of what one can extract, not what one adds.
Obviously this is necrotic and we are rapidly reaching the point of societal breakdown.
It should be noted that Russia and China have effectively gone back to private government, with Putin and Xi as respective CEO's, specifically to control their oligarchs. Which is why our oligarchs and their legions of moral serfs hate them so much.
Live and learn.
