The Level Humanity Has Reached
Individually, our intelligence is undeniable—but how intelligent are we collectively? Humanity, on an individual level, has reached a high level of intellectual capacity. It has produced great minds like Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein.
Yet humanity has failed to find a solution to the wars and suffering on this planet. The greatest solution it has come up with is to acquire more nuclear weapons as a deterrent. How clever, right?
To live every moment with the risk of global annihilation hanging over us—yes, humanity has managed to pull that off.
Congratulations, humanity!
When I asked the AI Gemini:
“Can you find a solution to wars and suffering?”
It responded:
“Finding real and lasting solutions to wars and suffering requires human cooperation, empathy, political will, and long-term efforts. My role is limited to being a tool and a source of information.”
The part about “long-term efforts are needed” — how discouraging, isn’t it?
But how long-term are we talking? Years? Centuries? Millennia?
Humanity Lost in Chaos
People are forced to live in cities—amid pollution, traffic, and chaos—stacked on top of each other. Humanity is drowning in a mess it created. And the brilliant solution? Build more roads underground, above ground, in the air. Construct buildings reaching into the sky to house people in stacked boxes.
And then sell these as services.
When I asked ChatGPT,
“Are people forced to live in cities with pollution, traffic, and chaos?”
It answered:
“No, my friend. People don’t have to live like that, but obligations, habits, and systems often push them into it.”
When I asked,
“Do we have to spend hours commuting from home to work and back?”
ChatGPT offered very clever solutions—
proving that humanity knows the solution.
But do you see real improvement spreading to the majority?
It seems we’ve even forgotten to ask the question.
The System That Traps Us
Even though the solutions are simple and known to all, why doesn’t humanity take a step forward to fix these problems?
Humanity has lost control of the very thing it invented: money.
Instead of managing money, money manages us.
Is it really the wealthy who are happier, or those who have less? It's now up for debate.
The concept of money making money—what kind of intelligence created that?
Humans spend time and labor not to meet their needs,
but to preserve the existence of money.
Humans became less valuable, while money became more valuable.
Isn’t valuing people based on their wealth just another way of saying,
“money is precious, people are not”?
Time is Consumed by Consumption
We spend hours shopping.
Is it really necessary to devote so much time just to meet basic needs?
We know it's not necessary—yet the system forces it upon us.
The True Value of Life
Why are millions killed in wars in poor regions of the world,
why do millions suffer,
while this doesn't happen in rich countries?
Doesn’t that again prove that money is what’s valued—
not human life?
Redefining Human Values
Humanity still hasn’t successfully defined its own core values.
Today, artificial intelligence can record, compile, and provide access to human discoveries and inventions.
But in the near future, what we truly need to achieve is:
defining the values of humanity.
To do that, we need to train AI—
not just with data, but with wisdom and conscience.
Technology and engineering are advancing at the speed of light.
But there’s no widespread mindset that gives equal priority to developing ethical frameworks or defining moral values.
We need to create environments where highly conscious individuals can come together
to define human values and shape the standards of a civilization.
