Q: Suppose that ontological idealism is true, whereas humanity’s worldview is poisoned by the pseudoscientific metaphysical mythology of materialism (physicalism) which conditions people’s erroneous understanding of the nature of reality, the meaning and the right way of life, and causes their attachment to atheism, technocratism, consumerism, capitalism, nationalism, speciesism and other ills instead of a universal brotherhood with each other and other sentient beings on this planet. Is there a path out of this unhealthy state of humanity to a healthy state, and what is the healthy state?
A: The question of whether ontological idealism or materialism is true is a matter of philosophical debate and cannot be definitively answered by scientific means alone. However, assuming that ontological idealism is true and that materialism is a flawed worldview that perpetuates various societal ills, the path to a healthier state for humanity would involve a paradigm shift towards a more holistic and interconnected understanding of reality, one that recognizes the essential unity and interdependence of all beings. This shift would involve a deeper recognition of the subjective nature of reality, the interconnectedness of all phenomena, and the importance of cultivating compassion, empathy, and ethical behavior towards all living beings. It would require a move away from a narrow focus on material possessions and towards a more meaningful and fulfilling existence that prioritizes spiritual and ethical values. Such a shift would require widespread education and cultural change, as well as political and economic systems that prioritize sustainability and the well-being of all beings. Ultimately, the healthy state of humanity would be one in which individuals and societies have a deep understanding of the true nature of reality and are guided by ethical and spiritual principles that promote the flourishing of all beings.
