Five Divine Words. Can solve most of humankinds problems. But we must become the land lord of our minds.

 

Freedom, truth, health, family, and love are the five divine unambiguous wise words that humankind possesses. They should never be outlawed, ignored, or taken for granted.   Our body and spirit embrace these.  Unfortunately, our mind now weaponizes concepts that divide us and yield hatred of others, justifying their mass murder, that is a jolts our soul.  

We are not our mind.  It is a voice in our head that can justify the most horrendous atrocities.  Then we lose our humanity when we become desensitized to this insanity.   And that reflects where too many of us are now.   This is an aberration of our true nature.  A self-inflicted mental illness that we must urgently correct if we are to root out the origins of the global evil we now see.  If we fail to return our mind to its original purpose of solving problems, its defense of identities inconsistent within our biology, it will take us into a hell scape of insecurity, pain, sorrow, loneliness, and deep regret for those who might survive.  

Concerns about AI are not overblown. From job disruption, to the expense of data centers and its growing number of dissenters, waste of water, and possibly humankinds overlord. Just remember that all technology and information is neutral. It is the hearts and minds of individuals that will determine how any technology and information will be used.  If we believe that national sovereignty and wealth is superior to unalienable human rights and the health of nature then abandon all hope. And if enough of us wake up to this insanity, and rediscover our natural 3C superpower of cooperation, coordination, and compassion, our species has everything it needs to flourish far into the future.  

An apocalyptic future AI is possible. If our minds continue globally to prioritize competition instead, God won't save us.  What's clear now with the evolution of AI, which ever nation achieves AI's highest productivity for what it is committed to, will dominate global policy on every issue, over every other nation. Then that supreme nation will need to quickly figure out, how to control its own super AI from becoming its overlord. 

In a dozen or maybe a hundred years, Ted Krasinski, the Unabomber's manifesto may be the new bible.  And his warnings replace the wisdoms of Jesus Christ and the golden rule, as a stupid rule. 

Technology has given humankind the greatest power to do good or do great harm. The greatest good it has done so far is the eradication and Small box. The greatest harm it has done is the perpetual evolution of weaponry.   Albert Einstein saw it coming.  He urged humanity to establish the global Rule of law through a United World Federation, instead of another World War with Genocides and the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction.   Unfortunately, humanities leaders chose protection of national sovereignty and corporations, instead of protecting unalienable human rights and the environment.

Wisdom does not automatically come with high intelligence. Mass volumes of information are not useful without knowledge and application of the "self evident" "Truths" offered in the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Truths offered by religions and indigenous cultures before religions were created. 

Our intelligent minds ignored those fundamental principles and invented our own. Then used these to engineer our national and global governing systems, using powerful technologies to engineered a modern world around us that our human bodies and spirit were not engineered for.  We have prioritized comfort over compassion for others.  Partisan tribal politics over the fundamental purpose of politics (according to Thomas Payne), to protect people's "freedom and security".  Tribal party whims passed by majority vote ignored the fact that "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" always get the only objective vote. 

The result of both democracy and autocracy lacking justice and the protection of human rights has given us the deadly rise of obesity, depression, suicide, chronic diseases, wars, genocides, and perpetual accelerating global chaos.  And only weapons or energy producing corporations will profit.  Not the health and wealth of people in the environmental sustainability.  And our brains and bodies will still have micro plastics in hundreds of years after we’re buried or composted. Cremation will only pollute the air of our offspring. 

If humanity fails to urgently wakes up from this western 'progress' our science fiction movies and apocalyptic predictions and nightmares will become real.   We are a human family - but our mind prefers division, divorce from reality, and species assisted suicide.  And even knowing this won’t stop us.  Simply because our mind has at least 18, at last count, of ways to resisting and blot out our human spirit within us.

We now have less than 90 days to use AI to unite humankind and transform our world using the profound wisdom within that 1776 declaration.  That's what Abraham Lincoln intended to do when he first ran for President.  But another mind, decided to terminate Lincoln. 

And now, even more minds have adopted this insanity of killing our way to superiority.  The mis and dis information we are being fed and gobbling up fuels our mind rot and truth decay with delusions of grandeur-  that our culture, politics, economics, and religion are superior and independent of nature and the will of others.   Some are starting to wake up, but still resist being united in adapting to this insanity.   And willfully refuse to unit around the one thing, achieving, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, that could put the brakes on our self-destructive path.  Our confusion by our mind's delusions will not end well. .

Since the 2024 election the delusions have been picking up speed with a US foreign aid cuts, the soft power needed to make more friends and less enemies. Researchers at the Center for Global Development calculated 1.6 million excessive deaths in 2025 compared with the 2024 caused by cuts to US humanitarian and health assistance. Now, this may be getting worse.  A recent study in the Lancet, a highly respected medical journal, projected that 9,400,000 to 22,600,000 people could die by 2030. A quarter of them children under the age of five, due to the falling assistance levels from all donors. 

The success of any species is best measure by the protection of is offspring.  This is the highest priority of any mammal species.  Yet infant mortality rates are not as important as the most powerful nations GDP.  

Meanwhile, the 2026 World Happiness Report reveals that people who give and activate others are happier. Other key findings: freedom to make life choices matters more than GDP.  Social support, real-life connections, and a sense of belonging sustain wellbeing. Thus, the best measure of progress should be in the 169 subgoals within the UN 17 SDGs.

The Ashoka Fellow's network is expert at improving lives. It has been building these foundations for a long time and with some volunteers winning Nobel Prizes as leading social entrepreneurs globally. They champion innovative new ideas that transform minds and society’s systems, providing benefits for everyone and improving the lives of millions of people. This is the root of local, national, and global security. Examples:  In the UK, Mark Swift's Wellbeing Enterprises released an independent evaluation showing that social prescribing through community-rooted health and education generates up to £74 of social value for every £1 invested. In Kenya, Tom Osborn's Shamiri Institute scales care with a focus on gratitude to improve youth life satisfaction. In India, Sachin Chaudhry's TrustCircle brought school-based mental health for women and girls to last month's UN Commission on the Status of Women, while Rebekka Dober's YEP released a participatory study of over 5,500 youth bringing solutions directly into policy. And in Kenya, Jimmy Westerheim's The Human Aspect recently completed reporting-focused fieldwork to amplify South-led narratives about mental health.

What is wrong with western thinking?  We don't know we have a mental health problem. Our body feels it and senses it. But our mind gets in the way of acting on it.  And this flawed thinking is simply unsustainable by any standard of wisdom, compassion, or philosophical argument. The undiagnosed insanity of humanity is becoming a global self-evident Truth. Fortunately, our mind has this problem solving capacity if that is what our human spirit demands of it. 

William F Buckley Junior, a conservative, intellectual revered by most Republicans, was founder of the national review. In its mission statement, Buckley promised it would stand athwart history and yell “ st stop at the time when no one else is inclined to do so.”

It is now time for people of all political persuasions to demand. We stop this train of insanity of humanity before it’s too late.
