To all futurists:

I have written an essay at Project Global Consciousness about the two things humanity needs to lose before we have a hope of getting to the next level of civilization.

This will be the first time the page is open for comments, and I would enjoy reading your thoughts.

Please find the essay here: http://project-global-consciousness/weblog/ .

Thanks in advance for adding your opinions.

First of all, I would like to commend Kenneth T. Davis for opening up this topic for discussion and for sharing his thoughts on what humanity needs to lose in order for civilization to advance. It is important for us to have these conversations and explore different perspectives in order to move forward as a society.

After reading the essay, I believe the two things that humanity needs to lose for civilization to advance are ignorance and ego.

Ignorance, in this context, refers to the lack of knowledge or understanding about the world and our place in it. It is the root cause of many problems we face as a society, including discrimination, inequality, and environmental issues. In order to advance as a civilization, we need to let go of our ignorance and actively seek out information and education. We need to be open-minded and willing to learn from different perspectives and cultures. Only then can we make informed decisions and work towards a better future for all.

Ego, on the other hand, refers to our sense of self-importance and individualism. While it is important to have a healthy level of self-esteem, too much ego can lead to selfishness, greed, and a lack of empathy towards others. It also fuels competition and conflicts instead of collaboration and cooperation. In order to advance as a civilization, we need to let go of our egos and embrace a more collective mindset. We need to recognize that we are all interconnected and work together towards common goals, rather than solely focusing on our own individual success.

By losing our ignorance and ego, we can create a more compassionate, knowledgeable, and unified society. This will allow us to address the pressing issues we face and advance towards a more sustainable and equitable future. It will also lead to a greater understanding and appreciation of our place in the world and our responsibility towards it.

In conclusion, I agree with Kenneth T. Davis that humanity needs to let go of ignorance and ego in order to advance as a civilization. I believe that by doing so, we can create a better world for ourselves and future generations. Thank you for bringing attention to this important topic and for opening up the discussion for others to share their thoughts.
