If you really step back and consider the evolution of biological organisms, especially fauna, along side the evolution of human society, I see many parallels that don’t seem to be evident on the surface. Such as I argued, that government functions as the central nervous system, while finance is the circulation system. Then this goes down into the dichotomy of energy and form. Such that what we are experiencing as monumental corruption is simply part of a learning curve for the species as a whole.

While our economic and social systems, as well as the technology, seem incredibly complex, it is all still fairly primitive, relative to the levels of biological complexity that had emerged tens to hundreds of millions of years ago.

So if we project out these feedback loops and the directions they apparently go, I think it can be argued that life on this planet is evolving towards being more of a singular organism, aka, Gaia hypothesis. With humanity as its central nervous system. Yet still at a fairly primitive stage, at best rampaging adolescence. Not of the current “one world government” currently envisioned, because it is both irredeemably corrupt and built on fairly primitive assumptions. Primarily of a top down, human needs focus, that leads towards ideological straitjackets.

It would be one that has to grow up out of an understanding how nature functions as a thermodynamic feedback process, rather than force feeding preferred narratives.

This might seem far fetched, but think of future generations as stem cells, that develop into the frames they are born in, while our world is composed of adult cells that are fully adapted to this world and its primary narratives. Even as they become ever more cracked, brittle and patched with whatever excuse the media puts out.

We are evidently in a reset situation and the very fact it does seem so traumatic and distressed is part of the process, as the old breaks, leaving the new struggling to be born.

So it is a matter of trying to step back and as you put it, look at it from an engineer’s objectivity, and not our own, very limited time frames. We are VERY tiny little cells in the larger process and can only hope to nudge it in a more positive direction.
