The solution is obvious: education. Education, education, education. Making it a truly common good will require a massive shift in the way most people are brought up in the west, which is why it won&#x27;t happen over a couple years but rather over a couple generations, which is why it&#x27;s high time we got going.<p>Once you can <i>do things</i> in and with your head, the world becomes your playground. Once the kids understand that hurting people in any way is literally senseless, that the civil servant state and nine-to-five work is destroying intellect, once they realise the awesomeness that lies within that big melon everyone of us is carrying around, I think humanity as a whole can get out of this mess properly.<p>And I think enlightment is the <i>only</i> way humans are going anywhere other than destruction, by whom- or whatever it may be. The consumer (a.k.a. mind-numbing) industry everybody seems to be so happy about is definitely <i>not</i> the way to go. Forgive the metaphor, but plugging everybody into the matrix and feeding them bullshit 24&#x2F;7 just to keep them <i>happy</i> is not how we can stay on top of things and our intelligent machines. If the complex machinery that is a Human is reduced to a consumer, it is of no value to electronic machines out to solve the galaxy&#x27;s problems (other than maybe as an energy source ).<p>It seems as though we won&#x27;t be going anywhere far away from the solar system for a while, so instead let&#x27;s go deep. Let&#x27;s go into ourselves and discover the worlds inside that nature has provided us with.
