"We have to fly up high enough to look at the aggregate probability of where we are going and what we are."

When I was a kid I loved the idea of space exploration as adventure. Over decades I learned adventure is not only exploring outwardly, but inwardly. When we go far enough inward we discover humanity is more than either Ego or Self. This is a salient species-level topic because it means human nature is not set in stone. Discovering what we are is more important than discovering who we are. What we are is an unknowable unknown.

I see a task of mature humanity is exploring such questions as "What is existence experienced without Ego?" "What is existence encountered without Self?" Such questions allows us to create a Non-Egoic Scientific Method capable of creating a world worthy of our children for millions of generations to the end of the sun.

A prerequisite for a species-level conversation is a willingness to identify, sideline, see-through, tame and even participate in the annihilation of both Ego and Self. Then, humanity is mature enough to survive with some technology in Oneness.
