I think here you’re bumping up against the problem of the ego
perceiving myself as separate from the context in which I live, I delineate personal benefits that may be at odds with those of my world. in such cases I will seek to impose my will upon others, to remake the world in my image, ergo power and coercion are intrinsic to the ego
I often quote Einstein who once said: “no problem can be solved at the level of consciousness that created it”
so human collaborative society will require a different kind of human, I would posit, one without an ego
good luck with that. we’ll burn first
