Major steps towards ending global suffering

[Butters]

What are some of the major steps you believe will have to happen in order to end global suffering? 

With every technological improvement seems to come some downside. The global supply chain is filled with unfortunate people down the bottom. To make your iPhone or Tesla some 15 year old young mother in the Congo got cancer or died working in a cobalt mine. To get your convenient fast meal we're polluting the planet to the point of no return. 

Don't get me wrong, I love the era we live in, without it there'd be no actualized.org and we'd all be milking cows with no wifi. But would be cool if we could enjoy our welfare and our inventions without that unfair, unjust cost to the planet and other living beings. 

Seems pretty reasonable, no? 

So to get there, over the coming decades, what would be the most important major steps required to end this suffering? Education? Defi? A way to store electricity? UBI in the west? It's such a complex issue it breaks my brain. 

Obviously if the whole world was stage Green tomorrow that'd be cool. But realistically you're working with many different spiral stages and very complex systems and borders, which is why I mean more technological or policy changes.

@Butters High consciousness politics.

Technological improvements will be v useful but the ego mind will manipulate them to its present level of consciousness. As long as societies are tier 1 (spiral dynamics speaking) there will be a lot of suffering.

But what would have to happen to get high consciousness politics into most of the world on such short term? We can barely get it into the Western world, and when it does it is very slow, like 1 generation or more slow. 

I was under the impression climate change had to be solved like super pronto or we'd all roast like marshmallows. Or do you think we can fix climate change first using policy and tech, while all other suffering will continue on until all politics globally are highly conscious? 

Can't we reverse it: increase consciousness using technology?

@Butters Honestly it can sound a bit doomerish but its not imo.

Essentially whatever will happen is whatever will happen. We really have no control of how quickly consciousness rises. We just have to wait and see if the forces of nature/ reality transpire to have us overcome things like climate change. However, aside from catastrophes like that, mankind, unless its development gets blocked or regresses due to catastrophe will continue to get higher and higher consciousnesses. I see reality as playing out like a play or a movie, we can hope for a certain outcome, but what will be, will be. Even if we do something to alter events, that was always going to happen because we do not control the ego. And we simply are playing out our survival agenda that we cannot control.

I think we can increase consciousness using tech, but it would have to be designed by someone of high consciousness and also have various high consciousness backers. A stage yellow technology person could do this i.e. But a stage orange person isn't gonna give a fuck about raising consciousness unless it suits his bottom line.

I'm not sure if that answers your questions. but its my attempt.
