Where is the humanity heading?

Humans. The most intelligent and one of the most powerful species on planet earth. Earth, the only place we know consisting of life. Yes, the only place and we humans are one of the variables who decide it's fate.

We all know what we humans are and how we evolved, well, up to some extent. We will directly go to a case study.

Nearly 6000 years ago, our civilizations appeared in the world. Great infrastructures were built. Mathematics was discovered, implemented and science and architecture were used to reshape our lives. From Egypt to Mesopotamia, we get examples of great human feat. But we lost our grip of ourselves. Humanity flourished, science utilized, lives were eased only to be doomed again. The weapons we first used to fill our tummies slayed us down. We humans are very good in science and implementing stuff. But we really do lack in consciousness. Most of us think of ourselves only. There is the problem. "With power comes responsibility". The technological power we hold in our lives is much more than we need. If these are used without care, on a mass scale, things can get out of hands. Our forests, wildlife and planet on a whole are being destroyed.

Our technological advancements, which meant to help us also doomed our home, planet Earth. Okay! So we now realize what is happening. We developed, we gained a lot and we know that we need to change our course. What are we doing for it? Where is humanity now heading?

Well, Elon introduced a sustainable electric future. So, the air pollution is being taken care of. The era of clean energy has also been triggered. Good!
The tech used in these clean energy is old and need no fuel to power. Where were we all these years? We could have saved some more of our mother nature. But it's okay. Centralized capitalism forced us to selfishly win the rat race and stop thinking about the community, or the planet as a whole. It taught us that the only way to be happy is to compete and win, to destroy or get big. We became individualistic. At the moment, people who used to think about the world as a whole should be encouraged, they were demotivated and the selfish ones grew to power. Decentralization of economy is something that will change the course of humanity and hence, the planet.

So this is a crucial time. Energy, economy, cultural influence are being decentralized, we have headed again for space, we have come together against the environmental pollutants. After so many downfalls and rises, we now are near to another change in humanity. This time, humanity seems to head in the right direction. Even though a war or economic de-motivation can neutralize our efforts, future for now seems clean and good.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.
