The Real Threat to Humanity
The greatest danger to humanity is not war, disease, or disaster. It is greed and the protection of interests. The people who hold power shape reality itself to preserve their wealth and control. They do this through media, think tanks, and corporate influence that distort what the public believes is true.
ExxonMobil is one of the clearest examples. Rather than confront the truth of climate change, it bought time and silence. It funded media campaigns and research designed to confuse the public, turning certainty into debate and delay into profit.
Tribalism is the glue that holds this illusion together. When ordinary people are pitted against each other, nobody looks upward. Left fights right, neighbours blame neighbours, and the powerful keep their grip unseen.
In China, the structure is reversed. The government sits above the wealthy, not beneath them. While this model has its own deep flaws, it highlights a critical difference: in the West, money rules policy. In China, policy rules money.
If humanity is to survive and flourish, we must learn to see beyond the divisions that keep us distracted. The real struggle is not between nations or ideologies, but between truth and deception, between shared wellbeing and the hoarding of power.
