This perception shift is critical, and part 1 of the solution. Part 2 is systems change, away from exploitation of the superorganism for superficial material growth (GDP), aka, capitalism. But until people see the connections again, the reality that we are the superorganism and interdependent, that it is not a case of 'me' and 'other', then we remain over a barrel. Share the awareness.
