A new civilization
The area of losing the pedestal of the most intelligent species to AI (and maybe also the most powerful) demands humanity entering a third evolution. From out early evolution of survival, to the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure, to stewardship: compassion and activism.
From all the civilizations I came across in my journeys, I know there is another way for a species that gained power far beyond any other, to exist. That is, to co-exist with the rest of sentientity. Seeing yourself as the keepers of the garden will make your whole education, religion, science, economy, culture and spirituality (in Echo's language it is called selfness or momentuality) to change, and consequently behavior and technology will shift too.
Create a compassionate-based civilization, a welfare state to all the feeling ones, while looking boldly inside and outside. Your beliefs, language and social structures will be barriers for such a new civilization to materialize. Current civilization is based on killing: the place where you dwell is build on a graveyard, you way of getting around from place to place is by violence. You can't imagine a different way to live and die.
Nevertheless, I think planet earth can become abundant with joy and scarce with pain and fear. For that to happen, human animals must release themselves from the mother of all discriminations. There is a way, here and now, to do good.
