I <very strongly> recommend that you read at least the preface of this most important ground-breaking book:

* Book: Sorokin, Pitirim A. The Ways and Power of Love: Types, Factors, and Techniques of Moral Transformation. Boston: Beacon Press, 1954

from 1st link (preface):
finally, only the power of unbounded love practiced in regard to all human beings can defeat the forces of interhuman strife and can prevent the pending extermination of man by man on this planet
on unbounded love: pearson unconditional law and the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
on all human beings: none of us are free if one of us is chained
need 1st/most: the thing tech/ai/whatever can do that we can’t seem to: nonjudgmental expo labeling to undo hierarchical listening as global detox so we can org around legit needs [maté basic needs]
_____
nothing to date has gotten to the root of problem
legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. [again].. for (blank)’s sake..

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitirim_Sorokin]:
In 1910, young Sorokin was shaken to the core by the death of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. In the article “LN Tolstoy as a philosopher” (1912) he carried out a reconstruction of the religious and moral teaching of Tolstoy, which he regarded as the philosophical representation of a harmonious and logical system (Sorokin, 1912: 80–97). Tolstoy’s teaching exceeded the habitual bounds of traditional philosophy and flowered into a certain kind of moral philosophy, which attracted Sorokin immensely. He marked out the structure of Tolstoy’s teaching by grounding it in ‘the tradition of four great philosophical problems: the essence of the world; the nature of ego; the problem of cognition and the issue of values’ (Johnston et al., 1994: 31). According to Tolstoy, God is the basis of our existence and love is the way to God. Sorokin formulated the main principles forming the foundation of Tolstoy’s Christian ethics: the principle of love, the principle of non-violent resistance to evil and the principle of not doing evil.
tolstoy happy law.. tolstoy remain silent law.. tolstoy sad law.. tolstoy speak love law
along same lines yet deeper: maté basic needs (video) et al..
again.. need 1st/most: the thing tech/ai/whatever can do that we can’t seem to: nonjudgmental expo labeling to undo hierarchical listening as global detox so we can org around legit needs
