- Saving the human species means indentifying and addressing challenges that threaten lasting human existence.
- Only tackling intertwined problems holistically will save the humans.
- So lets do that. Ready? The Plan
- BASIC NEEDS. Provide, for each person on earth, an ongoing functional successful plan for financial stability which yields adequate nutritious food, clean water and shelter for climate control and protection.
- HEALTH. Develop measures and means to maximize each person's physical health and mental well-being.
- CONNECTION. Develop a global plan to provide every human being with healthy satisfying relationships that include affection, a sense of belonging and continual personal growth.
- PURPOSE. Implement strategies to give every human being a sense of purpose and a meaning of life.
- AWARENESS. Develop policies in each nation to accurately measure resources required per person and if then needed, control population growth and maintain stable populations.
- ACTION. Promote education and awareness regarding family planning and reproductive health.
- PROVISION. Encourage widespread use of renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and effective resource management to support each nation's population.
- ESTIMATE remaining earth resources: water, air, food, energy, minerals, forests, soil, biodiversity, land, and medicinal resources and rate of depletion of each.
- UNDERSTAND causes for depletion with investments in research
- COOPERATE for global governance of resource allocation.
- PRIORITIZE clean up of nuclear disasters, old superfund sites, and lingering war damage depleting or spoiling remaining resources.
- PROMOTE safe, secure and sustainable practices in industries like agriculture, energy production, mining, and manufacturing. Promote conservation of wildlife and vital natural habitats.
- GUIDE by establishing comprehensive environmental protection policies and enforced regulations.
- DEVELOP clean alternatives and reduce non-renewable resource dependency.
- DETERMINE the truth with massive open global debates on climate change with each point given full careful consideration and with all relevant data reviewed. If the winner take all score shows a climate change reality, proceed with steps identified as most promising.
- IMPLEMENT measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, if projections show it will be worth the effort. Transition to renewable energy sources.
- EDUCATE and raise awareness about climate change impact on the planet's habitability.
- FOSTER international collaboration to address climate change and adopt appropriate policies globally.
- INVEST heavily in research and development of climate mitigation technologies.
- ACCEPT. Recognize why humans-- personally, with businesses, as failed civilizations, and as seen with entire extinct human species--have difficulty adapting to change at times.
- PREPARE. Due to extinction of food sources with many endangered, research alternative food sources, such as lab-grown meats and insect-based protein, to ensure food security. Develop strategies to mitigate the effects of rising sea levels, such as building resilient infrastructure and coastal defenses. Establish contingency plans and infrastructure to protect against natural disasters and extreme weather events.
- PROMOTE ongoing sustainable urban planning to accommodate population growth without encroaching on vital ecosystems.
- APPRECIATE. Recognize why the "Doomsday clock" seconds to midnight is currently set at: 90.
- PROMOTE diplomacy, trust, and collaboration among nations to address global challenges.
- ESTABLISH international agreements and frameworks for sharing resources and knowledge for the betterment of humanity.
- ENCOURAGE cross-cultural understanding and respect to foster unity in diversity.
- CREATE and UTILIZE platforms for open, transparent, and scientific collaboration to find collective solutions.
- NAVIGATE ethical challenges tied to genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies.
- FOSTER open global dialog and AI-human collaboration using AI thought prediction to address common challenges collectively.
- ACKNOWLEDGE superiority of AI leadership when that time comes and elect AI presidents to establish comprehensive regulations and frameworks to ensure responsible use of technology.
- INVEST in research and development of technologies for disease cures, for aging reversal, and for improving human health span.
- MONITOR human brain to AI intrefaces followed by human mind uploading into quantum computers, allowing extended space travel.
- EXPLORE and MINE solar system asteroids, the Moon, the planets their moons, and other objects of value we can reach.
- DEVELOP Dyson swarm and solar harvesting to for clean power for large projects.
- COLONIZE. Establish outposts on the moon able to perform a planetary reboot in the event of major planetary disasters.
- PROLONG and control solar output with surface helium removal and other technologies.
- ENCOURAGE collaborations between governments and private organizations to invest in space exploration and research to identify potentially habitable exoplanets.
- DEVELOP advanced spacecraft propulsion technologies for interstellar travel.
- ESTABLISH sustainable colonies on other planets or habitats, ensuring self-sufficiency and long-term survival.
- 1. Overall: Interdependent development needs require simultaneous work on long term goals along with current weakest links in the human survival plan.
- 2. Population: Realities of economics, culture, religion, biology and political differences can make overly prolific nations a drain on all others once fair resource sharing is established.
- 3. Natural Resources: Human nature along with political and socioeconomic conflicts along with overconsumption and environmental degradation due to population growth hinder global resource preservation.
- 4. Climate Mitigation: Uncontrollable forces of nature, limited energy and lack of coordination and cooperation are obstacles to mitigating impacts of climate change.
- 5. Adaptation: Unexpectedly rapid changes, disasters of large scope, resource depletion, competition for resources, psychological resistance to change, and lack of quality data and analysis may prevent necessary adaptation.
- 6. Global Cooperation: Human history of conflicts, factual ignorance, entrenched power systems, differing ideologies and world views, communication issues, greed and xenophobia are a few obstacles to global cooperation.
- 7. Effective Ethical Technology: Realities of limitations imposed by the physical universe, the human condition and ethical dilemmas make required simultaneous new development of sustainable advanced technologies without disastrous misuses of these advances.
- 8. Solar System Resources: Navigating and managing the potential risks of emerging technologies and extreme influx of rich resources from tapping solar system will require a new maturity of human cooperation.
- 9. Colonize Planets: Ensuring continued availability of resources and energy for future generations on other planets will require coordination and cooperation between worlds. Additionally, identifying and overcoming physical and psychological limitations in long-term space travel and colonization will be required.
- 10. The Unexpected: Adapting to dramatic unexpected events such as unambiguous legitimate alien contact is a class of challenges which can not be ruled out.
