How will coronavirus (Covid-19) change the way we live and think?

Since the pandemic again shows us that whether we want it or not we are locked into a closed, fully integrated, interdependent system we can’t escape from by Nature’s evolution, hopefully we will adjust our thinking and lifestyle to adapt to such integral conditions where we all depend on each other and we are all … More How will coronavirus (Covid-19) change the way we live and think?

Will humanity learn something from the Covid-19 outbreak? Will we as humans take this crisis as an opportunity to change or will everything be the same when this is over?

This is really the big question! Will we use our unique Human mind capable of critical self-assessment and this initiate necessary self-changes? Or we get scared, unite, work together – eventually – as an animalistic survival reflex, and then when the crisis is over we blindly return to the same life, same state we were … More Will humanity learn something from the Covid-19 outbreak? Will we as humans take this crisis as an opportunity to change or will everything be the same when this is over?

I believe that the Coronavirus (Covid-19) has the potential to be the worse pandemic the world has ever seen by far. Does anyone agree with me?

At this stage we don’t know. So far the numbers don’t support your claim, although there is no guarantee that with a mutation the virus doesn’t turn to be as deadly as the Spanish flue. But in terms of its general effect, we can already assume that this pandemic will cause unprecedented changes in Humanity … More I believe that the Coronavirus (Covid-19) has the potential to be the worse pandemic the world has ever seen by far.

Do you think the Coronavirus will permanently change the ways in which people work around the world? How?

Yes I believe so, not just how we work, but also what work we are doing. What we haven’t even started taking about – while everybody tries to stop the virus spread, tries to treat the patients, develop a vaccine – is that the restrictions, lockdown will cause an unprecedented economic, financial, political and social … More Do you think the Coronavirus will permanently change the ways in which people work around the world? How?

How far from collapse is society as we know it based on our reaction to COVID-19?

I think the virus outbreak shows us a brutally honest mirror, that our proud, modern Human society is already collapsed. In this age, with all our technology, amassed knowledge we were all found with it pants down. There is absolutely no leadership, expertise, each government, leader acts accusing to their gut instincts. Even in Europe … More How far from collapse is society as we know it based on our reaction to COVID-19?

What are the weirdest things people are trying to do to prevent the coronavirus?

The weirdest thing is the total disconnection between people, countries, everybody trying to save themselves alone, it even at the expense of others. This is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing! I mean I understand the isolation precautions, but the total lack of mutual communication, mutual coordination at a time of a … More What are the weirdest things people are trying to do to prevent the coronavirus?

Should individual freedom be reasonably suspended and retargeted during moments of crisis?

Well it seems the Chinese managed to contain the virus with reasonably short time although we still don’t know the natural course of the outbreak. But in general coercion, forcing people to comply doesn’t work, as people instinctively rebel. Moreover for such draconian restrictions to be effective people would need to trust their leaders, and … More Should individual freedom be reasonably suspended and retargeted during moments of crisis?

What are some harsh but true facts that will come to light as a result of the COVID-19?

I would like to copy here another answer given to the same question: “That we are all connected, biologically and economically, and the risk to the weakest is everyone’s hazard. We need to ensure adequate health care and physical well-being for everyone in a society.” I also think that this is the harshest and truest … More What are some harsh but true facts that will come to light as a result of the COVID-19?

Only Our Connections Can Prevent Chaos

Question: What are some basic things in society, that if taken away, would send the world into chaos? Answer: Human society lives or dies based on the mutually responsible, mutually complementing interconnections in between people. Without such connection, if everybody could freely go after their own, inherently selfish, greedy and hateful egos, we would descend … More Only Our Connections Can Prevent Chaos

Humanity’s Defining Virtue: Similarity To Nature
