An interesting question might be this one.
- Here we all are on planet Earth, with a current population of 7.7 billion — projected to be 11.2 billion in 2100.
- And now, imagine that the governments and multinational organizations of the planet were all benevolent, altruistic, and spiritually oriented.
What decisions would or should be made?
They would have to stop arguing and start coping together, of all things the first.
The numbers are not that important ( till they are, of course). By themselves they are referential, incomplete numbers, it’s been estimated there is still another half to one billion people scattered through out the continents who are “unidentified” and unaccounted for. That is from realistic perspective, the current human population count may be lingering somewhere around 8.5 billion.
There is lots and lots of free space on the planet where people could live happily if they were so inclined or in need of space ( think the whole northern part of Eurasia that will be more habitable in the next 100-200 years or newly re-emerging continent of Antarctica).
In my simple estimate human population could rise to about 80 billions before the reproduction rate starts declining naturally, that’s “only” 10 times more from now.
It does not require thousand years to get there really. Population leaps happen more easy than predictable.
But that’s not the problem.
The second part of your question is. Current governments, that is most of them, are far from being benevolent, spiritual and altruistically oriented towards humans.
It does not help if they portray themselves as such - they always did.
If they were the question alone would not exist. There would not be any problem.
In the meantime and as a matter of future forecast, it’s not the people or the governments we are or will be standing against - now or in 2100- it’s systems.
Most of the Northern hemisphere as we know it has been already taken by these systems since 2000 on but the grip of the systems had tightened rapidly since you have left and more so during the last attack of “global pandemic”.
But that’s just a beginning, innocent transition stage compared to what’s going to come. Keep eyes on the communist China of course as they are way ahead with the grip but the rest of the EU, the UK and the US, Russia and so forth are moving in the same direction without failure.
By 2100 the digital and other control systems have taken over.
Of course I firmly believe there will be different alternatives, “off shot communities” and perhaps whole nations who will at some point retreat back to self isolation mode rather than being part of any of the systems but there may not be as many at the end of the day as we ever hope for because the “systems” of multinational organisations will do their best to enforce compliance.
Think Bhutan ( spiritual, conscious and self reliant country) could likely opt out unless they are invaded militarily. Communities in far North and South and some island nations who are not banana republics.
The rest of the world is already clandestinely taken but it’s only the beginning. There is almost nothing that can be done about it at this point unless the “ideal governments” you have mentioned existed and they would be able to stop the conflict, the war ( or series of) between themselves,
thus they could loosen the grip of control imposed on their own people and be altogether humane, altruistic and benevolent as you said.
Because the situation of this world as we know it now is very much based in CONFLICT.
It’s so rooted in conflict that a generation or two of people still can’t even imagine living without that conflict and argument, the conflict is deeply rooted in their self definitions, no matter how holy or well they feel about it.
It’s a crazy world in war, with 30-40% governmental budgets being spent on weaponisation, defence and military training, that is potential threat and war against other people on this planet.
If you study the numbers carefully, there are more bullets and bombs than humans alive possibly at this point.
There are very few countries and governments who are even neutral in that game but hardly any who could just wash their hands and walk out of it with clean slate.
If you want to be quite honest with the state of these governments and their spiritual evolution, it’s nearing zero from my perspective.
They are all the same from within and without, they are very obsolete in their perspectives to make a leap or even a step further towards conscious, educated and understanding-each-other humanity ,
they are light years behind from where any “spiritual consciousness” even starts to operate.
They’re caught in identity conflicts, ethnic hive minds, blood lines, gender disputes , trade and money wars, it all cultivated on the matrix of linguistic programming that will be soon whether we like it or not overtaken by digital systems- that is numbers instead of languages.
The conflict has always been - it’s only due to get bigger with more people caught in and predictably so,
at the end of the era, it will be their systems fighting each other in manner not dissimilar to today’s advanced video games.
It will be the peak of their entertainment and probably, the grave of most of this civilisation because these idioms and the conflict/wars won’t go anywhere.
It may take them another 1000 years to be able to function on different level, stop arguing degrading or destroying each other, ruling each other and imposing some kind of ideology and systematic governance on each other.
From my utterly benign perspective: the hum of the human hive mind has already breached not only the words peaks and summits but the Point of Insanity.
It won’t take that much longer before many of even the benevolent human minds will succumb to the insanity for being “only human”.
The one world of internet was enough to trap and confuse as many people as possible. Including the young ones, people lost the true ability to internalise and resolve conflicts within because there is always some solution “out there”, some other person, or an alternative.
With the loss of this ability to ascertain “inner truth” against outer truths, simultaneous exodus of most authentic spiritual and religious systems
and human minds being thrusted to the open digital space of guesstimates : the authentic -natural- path of human stability was hijacked and thwarted,
taken over in brief.
There isn’t any way to explain this to either you or the rest of your politicians in a big way.
This isn’t my “ego chat” sorry. This is my sadness over the state of the human world as I see it working still towards its dead ends.
And sadness that most of my -our benevolent, spiritual aspirations and efforts to help here ANY are in vain, there is no role I could play in this,
no life I could accept, no bargain about the truth and none to bargain with.
Peaceful rest of the days , I enjoy the love and the smiles. Humanity will survive that’s for certain but they’ll have to sort it out without some of us 😏
Till then ...
