Most likely you have at least watched films about an alien invasion or any apocalyptic plot. I forgive humans worried about the End Times; since the formation of beliefs and recognition of the fellow, humankind has been thinking about how our race will end, just as we had a beginning. With the current turn of events going against humankind, one cannot help but have a certain feeling of impending doom.
Given many of the issues we face are man-made, interventions should also be man-made; we are responsible for these, and we should not make bandage solutions. Now the Vicious Cycle of humankind has gone more vicious-- we already face geopolitical conflicts and rampant rights abuses, and now our world does not stop heating for months; we face more natural disasters; more of us are raising expenditures, losing money and going hungry; our literacy rates are plunging; our technology use has gone wrong; we are observing a global discipline crisis; and we are becoming even more individualistic that we refuse to care with one another and fight on and for individuals' own as if we are in the jungle.
In a plot where humankind defeats the alien invasion, the keys to success were teamwork, cooperation and multilateralism. We have a common goal-- that is, to put an end to this Cycle-- but why are we failing to do so?
We need to ponder first and begin with ourselves first-- what had I done wrong? What am I doing? How did I affect others? I must have something to ditch and replace. We need to discipline ourselves first and uphold this discipline.
To uphold means to urge everyone to be disciplined and discipline. Anyone who resists or defies discipline, or enables or causes the lack of discipline should face accountability and accordant punishment. In a geopolitical scale, the international community shall be disciplined, and afterwards stretch its arm and strike the rod of justice against malicious forces who reject discipline and spew the lack thereof. This is in order to execute solutions effectively and efficiently; in combating anthropogenic climate change, we also have to defeat enabling and promotion of this event. We shall tackle anti-cilmate action propaganda to its core and exert pressure on powerful players to debilitating levels so as to mitigate further damage and fix what can be fixed.
If I say "Team Humankind", this is multilateral, never multipolar, cooperation; any vested interest that is threat to humankind is discounted. In today's context, for this to happen, we shall bring imperialism and destruction of dignity, rights and welfare to the knees. We'll find the Vicious Cycle easier to address afterwards.
The mindset and cooperation we have watched in films, read in the books, or played in games shall not stay as fiction. "Teamwork makes the dream work" sounds cheesy, but works. We shall be reminded that we as humankind are one team, and we are in this together.
