Towards being humane.

• Don't believe in indifference or apathy.
• Grow your tolerance, develop your sense of empathy.
• Heroes are an illusion, directing is inefficient; try to simply guide and allow to be guided.
• Trust one another and share.
• Understand the interplay between emergence (complexity) and thermodynamics.
• Grasp the basics of probability and game theory.

If you manage to then see both the forest and the trees; the interplay and dynamics of your actions in society. If you see your role in Big History you'll see that the Total Perspective Vortex isn't such a scary thing at all... but more of a liberating state of freedom, life-choice, self-fulfillment and self-growth. As humans, as life forms, as part of the universe it is to somehow work against entropy.

Trust, cooperation, aid and understanding are the fundamental achievements of our race; teaching, justice and love are the tools with which we have provided them. I am humbled and marveled by the individual, astonished and empowered by the collective and have nothing but great expectations for our future.
