Social Evolution is...

 Social Evolution is actually conscious evolution.

Humankind is at a dangerous stage in its natural evolution and individuals are active participants in this evolution. 

Collectives are the summation of individual beliefs thoughts and actions. The future of humanity depends to a significant extent on what this individual/collective agency does at any moment on its way into the future.

Knowledge without wisdom is a dangerous thing. That is why we need to become fully human and balance our knowledge with wisdomful guiding insights.

What is wisdom? Let us relearn its principles as explored by classical Greek thinkers. These matters bout wisdom have been there for millennia, so our problem is not lack of knowledge about the nature of wisdom.

If we are discarded by natural evolution and join the many extinct species, we can only blame our short-sighted stupidity. But again our is a wrong pronoun. It is the privileged minority with power and opportunity who is unwise enough to do things because they can instead of wisely considering the consequences.

Two relevant videos are recommended. They contain sufficient warnings and advice about what to change and remain a viable species

How do I edit this later? Not at all obvious. I got back here by fortuitous chance after some haphazard jumping about.

Adult dominated "education" endangers our future...

 Children are natural learners. They do not need to be taught.  They do not need to be taught how to master their physical body in seven years;  or how to become adolescents and, in due course, fully developed adults. By forcing them through "education" from age five adults actually restrict and suppress this natural thirst for learning and becoming more than what they are at a particular moment.  "Teaching" is the opposite of education. True education would assist children to use their natural interest in the world to learn to think for themselves. Teaching new generations to conform to the prevailing circumstances, adults  prevent society from adapting to inevitable changes caused by science, technology and other developments.

Fully Human -- at last!

  After about two million years of evolution, it is time to become fully  human. This means that conflicts of interest between peoples and nations will no longer be solved by killing off or enslaving "the enemy". No More Wars!  Said conflict of interest will be resolved, as they are now within families. Equitable sharing of nature-given, free resources will be practiced via peaceful trade between nations. Characteristics of the possible good world:  No wars, no poverty, no oppression, no avoidable suffering. A question for social scientists: If we can go to the moon, invent the atom bomb, send a telescope to L2 more than a million miles away, and produce all manner of technological miracles; why not make the best possible world become reality? Why do social sciences fail to solve simple problems like poverty, a fair distribution of resources discovering the truth behind what see as contradictory facts, and the like? One obvio...
