Maybe Humanity's lack of a guiding philosophy has contributed to the fact that
more than 800 million people are malnourished, large segments of the population
continue to suffer from preventable diseases, and over 30 million people will
die each year from starvation or preventable diseases. Additionally, plant and
animal extinction, deforestation, soil erosion, ozone depletion, and other major
environmental problems are occurring. See

Without a goal, happenstance determines a traveler's destination. Instead of
leaving its fate up to chance, Humanity should select its own destination for
its journey through time. Humanity as a whole should have a guiding philosophy.
Cheers,
Jon
