A Survival Kit for the Upcoming Creators Benjamin Katz

The history of mankind can partly be understood as the history of our blindness of our mental limitations!

The three fundamental truths that we must face in order to survive/prevail on a long-term basis are as follows:
1. Everything is temporary, including Homo sapiens, his achievements, and his constructs.
2. We are--generally speaking--unwise regarding our conduct of the planet's sustainable state. We act, in fact, as its vermin, not as its guardians.
3. Only by transcending ourselves will we pass on our valuable and noble essence to our future upgraded children. Sabotaging this transformation will imply our species' decay and oblivion.

Realizing these truths, what did the author of this book do?

He followed Rumi's words: "Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah . . . It makes absolutely no difference what people think of you."

And that was exactly what he did--he built up a new Noah's ark.
