As the dust settles from the turmoil you have endured over the past few weeks, many of you may have a renewed sense of hope for the future. But this is no time to put your guard down.

The pandemic rages on. The vaccine rollout faces many difficulties. The stability of your planet is at the brink of collapse. Inequality and injustice are on the rise. Fear, fatalism, and hopelessness plague your minds. Digital distraction and consumer culture drag you into short-term cycles and short-sighted solutions. And worst of all, the deafening noise from your digital echo chambers segregates you further from reality and each other.

You have the technologies and know-how to tackle these challenges. But clearly, there is a more immediate threat you must consider. This is the deterioration of your human intelligence - the emotional and social skills needed to move forward together.

Your civilization is losing these skills required to move humanity to the next level, and the psychological impacts of a warming planet are paralyzing. If you do not learn to work together, humanity faces a very difficult future.
