When we speak about the problems facing humanity today, whether they appear on more psychological levels such as emptiness, depression, or loneliness, or in terms of the breakdown of the family, economic instability, and social breakdown, we are actually facing a single, underlying issue. This issue is not technological, political, or even cultural. It is educational. More precisely, it is the absence of a education that corresponds to the new reality humanity has entered.

Human development has always been driven by the ego, the desire to enjoy for self-benefit. This ego grows from birth, develops through generations, and has brought us to everything we see today, i.e., science, technology, culture, and civilization itself. However, in recent decades, a fundamentally new phenomenon has taken place. Our ego has reached a state where it no longer develops linearly as it has done throughout history. Instead, it has become integrated, interconnected, and in many ways confused and exhausted.

We see this in the growing despair and emptiness people are experiencing today. Despite material abundance, more and more people feel empty. Depression, drug use, and divorce rates are rising. The younger generation increasingly lacks motivation. Even structures that once gave stability, such as the family, education, and community, are becoming weaker. At the same time, we face ecological threats and economic uncertainty that we cannot fully comprehend or control.

All of this stems from a single change, that humanity has become an integral system.

This means that we are no longer separate individuals or even separate........
