I think this is one of the most important issues humanity faces right now, and I do appreciate your post. Indeed no one has come up with a solution. However I do believe Steemit and, no doubt, other similar platforms yet to come are on the right track. I see what I like to call "Cooperative abundance" beginning to be an accepted means of lifting, encouraging and sustaining each other while at the same time celebrating the individual and their contribution to Steemit. However, and this in my mind is a huge "however", like the wise say (was it Einstein who said it?) : you can't solve a problem on the same level of consciousness that the problem was created. (not a verbatim quote, but close). So what I am thinking is that humanity will make an evolutionary leap, and soon I hope, that will raise us to a higher level of consciousness. There are many, who have done the individual work within and are already on the Path so to speak. I do not know if we must all be enlightened but certainly there must be a shift raising us above the age-old survival instinct that chains us to our egos and to the mad need to dominate each other an nature. How might this leap in consciousness occur? Well, I am, what...a Dreamer, just like Lennon, but more than that. I believe that there is an Intelligence, a Power in the Cosmos that will lift us. But there seems to be a law that functions in Nature: for something new to be created, the old, from which it rises must first be destroyed. Which thing we see constantly around us. Take a breath... this "creates" or sustains life, but it changes or destroys, if you will, oxygen into carbon dioxide. And within the body processes occur that use energy from nutrition for instance to create cells and life. Anyway, you get the picture. So are we not Nature, is not the earth and all cycles upon it, even those of humans cyclical? Is it not time for a transformation of what we are and have been into something else? Will it be necessary to destroy what we have been in order to create what we will be? Frankly, I have no hope that humanity can take this leap from the same level of consciousness we now are in. Sure some of us are there already, but the transition to a world of peace, abundance and freedom will not come without a transformation of human consciousness. Blessings upon your head. Keep it up. Resteemed and following.

Thanks for visiting and taking time out to share your thoughts. I also believe humanity needs to evolve out of what we are now in order to reach such levels of cooperative abundance. However, I do not think there is any cosmic power which will lift us to do it. I believe we will have to figure it out on our own, if not our very future will be in question.
