The reason are too many to address here in a blog post.
However let’s look at the top most prevalent reasons.
I suppose it depends on who you’re asking but the bigger the number of people that are involved the less co- operative they become.
Interacting with everyone sufficiently to build trust becomes more than challenging.
Because the world is full of individuals who are obsessed with idea that they are better than others and are entitled at the expense of other people we are scared, stressed out, insecure, defensive, in pain, anxious, is pretty much normal for the majority of humans.
So co- opration becomes, what’s in it for me?
Destructive people will always exist who are greedy, selfish, possessive.
We can hardly get enough people together who agree with each other, that climate change is dangerous to our very existence.
Lack of empathy , competition, wars, Adding to the uncertainty of the future.
There are the currently three factors.
One is that our populations have increased to the point where our activities have a large effect on the Earth’s environment that supports them.
Second, our technology has reached the level where it is changing so rapidly that it is difficult to predict future demand for any long lived product.
And third, our systems of governance are evolving to the point where we are seeing irrational and unpredictable behavior of governing bodies with self-serving objectives much of which is facilitated by emerging technologies.
By the time we release our need to co-operate it will be to late.
Take climate change for example.
8 billion humans who’ve spent the largest fraction of their existence waging constant wars against each other are not going to co-operate any time soon.
That may be so but if you look for it you will find splashes of humanity. Hospitals, recovery Clinique, Retirement Homes, Aid.
Kindness cost nothing, and our world right now could do with a large dose of it.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
