Many people are confused and struggle with the complexities of the modern world, unable to see the situation of humanity as a whole. Some of them are highly respected intellectuals with little natural experience. Some people with some experience of the wilderness and of living a primitive life have a higher degree of awareness but they generally lack scientific knowledge to express themselves. I also see indoctrinated writers promoted by the global elite; who widely disseminate their prophecy based on their seemingly unbiased anthropological approach.

I'm just another soul on earth; trying to find answers to my questions, keeping away from every kind of idols and doctrines behind them, maybe with the purpose to stay authentic. I have been influenced and inspired by many people's work but I adhered to none of them and quoted none of their work. All of these are my own words, maybe with a few exceptions. This is why there aren't any citations in this text.

Everything is subjective, and everybody explains things according to their perceptions. I do the same, while respecting all other views. This text reflects my personal perspective on what we humans were, what we are now and where we may be going; in a philosophical and scientific manner, while not necessarily following scientific methods. It often deviates from the main narrative. It is a discussion, often anthropological, an attempt to provoke thought, proposal of a method, a kind of manifesto, another wake-up call or another message in a bottle from a sinking ship.

I know that there are many other people having similar thoughts. As I choose to stay offline most of the time, I'm unable to communicate with them. I write this text because I fed up with keeping all these thoughts to myself and also because I think my thoughts are highly authentic and deserve to be heard.

Those unfamiliar with scientific and anthropological language may find the text difficult to follow. I respect those who seek easy, clear, sharp or comforting answers. They could of course read this at their ease, but this text is not intended for them.

The word "culture" is used in its anthropological meaning, which would be described as "Any knowledge passed from one generation to the next, not necessarily with respect to human beings".

Our willingness to shortcut our intellectual development often leads us to resources easy to access and follow. This results not only in a superficial understanding of things but also in a biased and indoctrinated one.

When it comes to interpreting things we perceive, there are countless approaches. All of them deserve respect; yet my priority would be to adopt a skeptical approach towards anything. That means that I don't believe in anything and think that there is no such thing as "reality", but that doesn't mean that those approaches don't give me inspiration.

Everybody needs a foundation upon which to develop ideas and behavior and with which one can express themselves. When it comes to intellectual endeavor, my preferred approach is the science with a skeptical mindset; however, it is not without perils.

The universe is an infinite continuity, complication and an infinite chaos. Physics and mathematics provides us layers of knowledge of seemingly unchanging patterns, on top of which other disciplines can be built.

Disciplines like geology, paleontology, anthropology, chemistry, biology are built on these. They are based on more tangible findings, they don't feature much layers of abstraction, are more holistic, are focused on a wider span of time, are less vulnerable to interpretation and manipulation, at least for the moment. They also brought explanations to many things which were previously the occupation of philosophy.

Disciplines like history, sociology, psychology, economics or medical sciences are built upon lower level ones, but they include layers upon layers of abstraction. The more you distance yourself from the tangible, the more the concepts will be ambiguous. The entropy of the human existence and its effects is increasing in an exponential rate and the main focus of these disciplines is the complications of the Holocene. As history never repeats, they should be re-evaluated constantly and that evaluation becomes more and more difficult. Moreover, they are developed by humans. Humans are biased and political species. The most important motivation of contributors is social status. Nowadays this status is given to them directly or indirectly by international organizations or corporations that are in turn controlled by a global ruling class of elites, acting on their own motives. Those factors make all these disciplines vulnerable to interpretation, indoctrination and political manipulation while it's becoming more so over the time. They deserve to be approached with utmost skepticism. They cannot provide us answers to questions like what we were, what we are and what we may become.

It is crucial to understand the evolutionary processes during our pursuit to find answers to those questions. Those processes are quite complicated and cannot be summarized by the phrase "survival of the fittest". As with any chaotic process, they are not easy to comprehend, to analyze or to explain. Also, archaeology is a costly process, artifacts are scarce and evolutionary research is like the work of a detective. Evolution adapts and designs organisms to their specific niche within their environment. It is slow and not linear. It doesn't happen in just a few generations. It can divide into multiple paths. This means that a species that lived in the past can be the ancestor of more than one species. In the short term, genetic changes tend to be more superficial. Radical changes will generally take place later, if the pressure is persistent. Stronger selective pressure can accelerate evolutionary change but it has drawbacks. Quick and drastic adaptations are generally volatile designs. Evolution requires time to adapt and refine the genetic code. A period of 300-400 generations, as it is the case with the human adaptation during Holocene; can only make superficial differences with many flaws. The gene pool contains features of former species. These features are more prominent when they relate to more recent ancestors and less so when they relate to more distant ancestors. It is easier to get back to a more recent feature when the pressure is present.

An in-depth explanation of the evolutionary processes is beyond the scope of this text and I recommend consulting other sources for further information.

The prehistory is known to anybody who is curious enough. Parts of it are of course revised with new findings and discussions. The following would be a short and rough summary focusing on my perspective, for the purpose of summoning some thought.

Earth was formed around 4.5 Gya. Around 3.7 Gya life began on earth. Mammal populations began to expand following the K-T mass extinction event 66 Mya. Along with this, primates, our ancestors began to evolve. The earliest evidence of tool use by hominins dates back to around 3.4 Mya. First human-like species, including Australopithecus evolved in Africa around 3 Mya. Homo Erectus evolved in Africa around 2 Mya and was able to disperse out of it relatively soon after its evolution, as far as east Asia and Western Europe.

Our species, Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa around 300 kya, from the descendants of Homo Erectus. These were "anatomically modern humans", which means that they were anatomically the same as modern humans. They began to migrate out of Africa around 130 kya. They arrived in Eurasia around 125 kya, to Australia around 65 kya, to Americas around 20 kya.

Observable in relics of ceremonial and artistic activities, human symbolic behavior emerged gradually around 150 kya to 75 kya and became generalized and widespread at around 45 kya.

Neanderthals, who are also classified as human, became extinct around 40 kya. Maybe we should say "merged", since we have evidence that they interbred with our species.

The anatomical differences that we see today in world's different populations are the result of superficial adaptations to their environments.

The last glacial period, which began around 115 kya, ended gradually until 12 kya along with the gradual beginning of broader spectrum economies.

Without much surprise, we share many common features with other primates in various degrees. We have a very similar anatomy with opposable thumbs, forward facing eyes for stereoscopic vision, varying levels of bipedalism. We use tools, throw objects, hunt and make nests. We learn from our experiences. We have sexual dimorphism, have slower rates of development and longer juvenile period between weaning and sexual maturity compared to other mammals. We live in large social groups, we have cooperative and altruistic behavior. With varying degrees of symbolic behavior, we use a variety of vocalizations, facial expressions and body language to communicate. We have social learning and we have culture, again in varying degrees.

What we differ from other primates including extinct ones is not the lack or presence of a characteristic, but the degree of that characteristic. We are exclusively bipedal if we exclude extinct primates, we have the biggest brain size and most sophisticated cognitive abilities. That comes with equally more sophisticated level of tool usage and social behavior. Humans have the highest degree of symbolic behavior by far, compared with any past and current species.

The answer to "when did the first humans evolve?" depends on many things, most important one being -how far back- you are willing to go. Around 75 kya to 45 kya is when behaviorally moderns humans gradually began. Around 300 kya is when anatomically modern humans (AMH) have evolved.

It is of course debatable, but it may be useful to describe a little bit what is behavioral and anatomical modernity with some examples. If an AMH human was born and grew up in an average family of 21 st century, that person would surely have difficulties and reluctance in learning things related to symbols. Other people would feel a primitiveness in them. Speaking with many words, reading, writing, arithmethics would be more difficult for that person compared with the average. They wouldn't have the tendency to create art. But the rest would be normal, the person would have the normal awareness of the social environment, be able to interact with it and learn normally from those interactions. They would maybe choose to communicate more with body language and vocal nuances and less with words, would have normal social behavior including altruism and reciprocity. They would have the normal motor skills and physical dexterity, normal physical awareness, be able to use tools normally and be able to learn physical tasks. Actually, since the evolution always tries different combinations of features including past ones, we already have such persons in our societies.

When it comes to behaviorally moderns humans and the same situation in the same example, nobody would probably feel, see or hear any difference. Although both of them would probably develop complications against modern diet and the toxic environment. They would also not be immune to pathogens easily found in modern human settlements.

The term "foraging" is used here to describe the lifestyle of original humans before they got settled. The description of this lifestyle is of utmost importance and understanding it has many implications. Because genetically we are the same human and it is the ecological niche for which we are designed by the evolution. It is our nature. The more we distance ourselves from it, the more we will get mentally or physically strained. In other words, it is the ultimate point of reference when we need to see how much we are distanced from our nature. The same is true for any species, but since every species has a different ecological niche for which it was evolved, the reference point will be different.

Since the history of evolution and propagation of humans was not linear and quite complicated, the search of this description has never been and will never be easy. One of the reasons is that conducting archeological research or excavations can be costly and artifacts related to human evolution are scarce. Another reason is that the analysis of modern forager societies can be misleading. These societies are very limited in number, all of them are confined to a relatively limited area because of civilization's pressure, also they have had connections with civilization in the past, which can affect their culture and lifestyle today. So any generalization made using these researches are subject to skepticism.

Primate research provides valuable clues but this knowledge is also limited, because we have a very limited number of living species compared with all species lived so far during the last 60 Myr. Also, all of the observation done so far are made in more or less confined environments, with the presence of humans observers and they don't reflect their behavior in their natural or original environment.

Despite all that, we can suppose to have a substantial amount of knowledge about the "original" foraging life.

They lived in the wilderness, in generally mild climates, in harmony with nature, leading a nomadic lifestyle. They were highly social and lived in tribes of 150 persons on average while following their strongest instincts, which is to survive as a tribe and most importantly, pass on their genes to the next generations.

Their lifestyle was not labor intensive at all compared with that of a settled one and they enjoyed their leisure times. The only power source was their own muscle. They were hunting and scavenging mammals as well as other animals, gathering and eating wild plants, also eating cooked or uncooked meat. In normal conditions, food and other resources were abundant because they would migrate as soon as resources around them had depleted. This depletion would of course be temporary and would start to recover as soon as they leave.

They were able to start fire, use it for various purposes like heating, lighting, cooking, protection and tool making. They made tools from various materials, constructed shelters. Resources were shared almost equally and there was no concept of ownership. Reciprocity was omnipresent. They were all survival experts in modern terms and there was little specialization. There was of course a kind of labor division among males and females but that was flexible. Some individuals had a greater focus on healing practices. All these skills were passed down to the next generation through learning, allowing them to compile know-how and continually adapt their practices even when their environment was changing slightly over generations. Older people were cared for and respected. They were the most experienced individuals and the most important source of knowledge, since there was no writing and there would be no environmental and cultural changes over generations in most cases.

There were no numbers, no arithmetics, no sophisticated language, no terms like "crime", "punishment", "justice", "success", "past", "future".

They were "naive" in modern terms. Some of them would be more influential, some of them would be more respected than others but there was no defined leaders or masters, no hierarchy and stratification among them when we compare it with civilized societies. In normal conditions, one was born to a tribe and be part of it till the end of their life, with the exception of exogamy or other obligations. As people grew up, when the most important part of the learning process takes place, that person would not be limited to their biological parents, their siblings or other relatives. As far as the tribe is there and there is enough population, there would always be an alternative person to take care of them.

There was no patriarchal or matriarchal systems. There was no well-defined gender roles. A person wouldn't be discriminated if they were more or less manly or womanly. That would also be true for any other trait that deviates from the average.

There was no wars. Conflict between tribes existed but was not the norm. There must have been deadly confrontations but if we compare the situation with the period beginning with the civilization; it was a remarkably peaceful period.

Like any species, their population was self-regulating and their lifestyle was sustainable. The word "sustainable" is used here in its literal meaning, not in the meaning splurged everywhere nowadays.

Most afflictive health conditions of today; like cancer, influenza, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, respiratory diseases, diabetes, mental disorders, depression, anxiety, alienation were then rare, if existent. Contagious diseases that has been a nuisance for civilized societies were almost nonexistent. That's because the tribe was more or less isolated and they had localized strategies embedded in their culture for isolating and managing such cases. Their immune system was also better compared with those of civilized societies. They were of course vulnerable to physical traumas like fractures and they had no effective treatment methods for them. Also infections must have created risky situations for them. There must have been natural remedies, but they surely weren't as effective as modern ones. Infant mortality was higher. The average life expectancy was lower, compared again with modern times. It is of course impossible to describe this with any quantitative approach, which makes the proposition very debatable.

Last but not least, the average satisfaction out of life was much much higher.

By 12 kya, with the ending of the last ice age; the new climate with higher temperatures had created more favorable areas for human populations, but this time things were different. Humans had already evolved toward symbolic behavior and the situation was a twist of fate for them. Alongside with cultural behavior; Symbolic behavior had allowed humans to adapt to new environments that differed significantly from their original habitats. The result was increasing population, more intersecting ranges of tribes and finally the gradual beginning of settled life over thousands of years until we see the opening of pandora's box, "civilization" in other words.

As soon as societies began to get settled in unclaimed territories, things began to change very drastically. It was a constant acceleration of events. This was a complex period with many factors at play, one that I'll only briefly touch upon in the following paragraphs.

Humans began to lead settled lives starting from the Neolithic period, beginning in regions that are more suitable for domestication. Domestication of the nature began with activities like agriculture and herding. Stratification and hierarchy appeared throughout those societies and increased in parallel with population growth. Plants, animals and humans were domesticated. Bulk of the human population started to live in a labor-intensive lifestyle, gradually in higher concentrations, closer to each other. The majority was of course doing the physical labor and were getting a smaller share from the resources per capita, the minority was getting a bigger share. Symbolic behavior has increased. Arts, ceremonies, letters, new words, numbers, belief systems began to be used for the adaptation of humans to the unnatural environment and also for the organization of the society. Specialization and technological level increased with the surplus of basic resources. Alienation began.

Big social movements and events with big impacts became more common. The diet of humans moved drastically away from the paleolithic one. Products of domesticated animals and plants began to be consumed in abundance. The average immune system of humans got weaker because of factors like diet, lifestyle and population concentration. Epidemics became widespread. The average quality of life degraded drastically. Humans and other domesticated species started to get strained more and more, as they drifted further and further away from their nature.

This was a vicious circle. Once it started, growth became the norm. All of these happened in parallel as they are closely tied together.

Rivalries and war between societies increased. The concentration of power became more and more distinct. Political behavior penetrated to almost every relationship throughout societies. Plants and animals were subject to selective breeding and were changed genetically. These new species were dependent on humans and not able to live in the wilderness. Each technology was developed to suppress the downside of the previous one, always at the cost of consuming more resources. Patriarchal organizations became widespread, as men were more suitable for forming hierarchical organizations which was needed for the agriculture, defense and other activities.

As all these happened, the world became more and more interconnected with accelerating trade and migration. Around 2,500 ya, along with humans and commodities, ideologies had also began traveling in relatively shorter times, especially across Eurasia and in latitudes with favorable climatic conditions. Some of them were adopted by the masses as a result of different policies like assimilation and propaganda, executed by the political powers of those times. Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Abrahamic religions and Ancient Greek philosophies originated around that time. These ideologies facilitated the adaptation of humans to the civilization's control and helped them find ways to tolerate the harder living conditions, while still being harmonious with their social environment.

Civilization spread over thousands of years but it was very quick, compared to other events in the geological calendar. Industrial Revolution began to gain steam at the end of the 18th century. It was the inevitable outcome of previous events. It was the biggest, quickest and the most drastic change of domestication process until that time. Its consequences have indeed been a disaster for the humans. It changed the face of the world in just 200 years. With it, pandora's box re-opened in full throttle. It was the spiralling acceleration. Sharper stratification and hierarchy, even less equal share of resources, more deadly wars, bigger stress on the majority of humans, big patriarchal families beginning to get reduced to core families for the sake of labor mobility, more alienation, more systematic exploitation of nature, intoxication of the air, ground, water, plants, animals, humans and their minds.

The exponential concentration of power on a global scale was inevitable along with the accumulation of capital and that power had already become effective at the end of 18th century, affecting major movements with global results.

Information and intelligence revolutions which took place in 20th and 21st centuries were the continuation of the same process and the same vicious circle of civilization, even more sped up exponentially, in a way that we might describe as "the civilization on steroids". The same trend continues today with population increase, depletion of resources, increasing entropy. Processes are more complex than ever. The world is now hyper-connected, with a level of information storage and information sharing never seen before.

The society is even more stratified, hierarchy more sharpened, sharing of resources less equal and the power more consolidated towards the top. The richest 1.5% own almost 48% of the world's wealth. The political scene has changed a lot since the late 18th century. Much bigger processes are now controlled by a much smaller minority in a more organized way. This minority is becoming more and more international, getting more and more disconnected from the rest of the population. Economic and financial mechanisms are designed in favor of ever-bigger control. With global policies, all industries are consolidated very rapidly. Global institutions and global corporations have now more power than ever before, their combined power far surpassing those of states.

The world is the only place where humans live. When we think about a political system in a global scale, it is a closed one. Closed political systems are always totalitarian. So we are talking about a global authoritarian oligarchy. The control over seemingly sovereign states is tightening. They become local organizations enforcing global policies in their area.

The same vicious circle continues by exploiting more resources, increasing specialization, generating new technologies to counteract the negative effects of previous ones, and then again exploiting even more resources.

A.I. is another technology that does the same thing as oxen, steam engines and other machinery did to replace human muscle. This time it replaces cognitive functions of humans, after writing, printing press, computing, then internet and search engines. It is a resource-hungry technology mimicking humans, along with their prejudices. It's quickly changing who does what, as it replaces numerous activities previously done by humans. People higher in the hierarchy will of course have a much higher share of this resource, as all of the population are quickly becoming more and more dependent on it.

Further domestication, more distancing from nature, more intoxication, more alienation and more misery. The level of domestication is even higher for plants, animals and humans.

Human behavior have been deciphered. Conditioning, intimidation and rewarding are used extensively. Questioning, skeptical behavior, protests, mass gatherings against global policies are disapproved or punished, while obedience is rewarded. Different forms of social credit systems have begun to be seen in countries. Instruments of surveillance and control are marketed under slogans like "for your own safety" or "for your own health".

CDC's are seen as the new interchangeable currencies for the global system. They are traceable and programmable and have the potential to be another instrument of enforcement.

A.I. is also a programmable technology that facilitates further domestication of humans. It is a very effective instrument to propagate ideologies, conditioning humans and make them question less and obey more.

Individual ownership and independent economic initiatives are discouraged, mass operations by big corporations are promoted and all these policies are enforced to the citizens by their states.

Patriarchy and religions, having histories going back thousands of years are now discouraged as they don't fit the new political climate that seeks granular control over the masses. Reorganization is underway in every aspect of life. Core families are further divided, individuality is promoted. Population control is one of the ideas supporting long-term global policies. Genders and their roles are redefined and categorized, according to new policies. Every natural reaction to the civilization's stress is pathologized and categorized with different terms.

All these policies are marketed aggressively and every opportunity is used as a pretext for their deployment. They are also executed gradually in unnoticeable increments of change to prevent awareness and objection.

We are living in this chaotic world where people are made ignorant, domesticated, indoctrinated, conditioned in a mass scale. Our perception is managed by seemingly invisible processes. The answers are often right under our noses but we generally choose sweet lies for our own comfort. The gap between what we perceive and what's going on widens every day. People are living in a labyrinth of perceptions.

Ambiguous expressions with no tangible meanings are used generously and they keep our minds busy. Left, right, republican, democracy, socialism, capitalism, fascism, ethical, unethical, good, evil, black, white, crime, justice, success, progress, developed, undeveloped and the list goes on.

Everybody chooses figures to relate with; they might be artists, social media personas, indoctrinated intellectuals, leaders, billionaire entrepreneurs, or other mass-market icons that help them feel important, protected, informed, and hopeful. Nobel, Oscars and other similar organizations are of course a part of this marketing, where people supporting global policies are rewarded with fame and respect.

As stated in earlier in previous paragraphs; disciplines like history, sociology, psychology, economics or medical sciences are built on many layers of abstraction and ambiguous concepts. To prevent skepticism and to ensure easier acceptance by the masses, global policies are often disguised under narratives using these disciplines and their maze of seemingly scientific expressions.

Global media is more consolidated and more connected than ever before. It is run using sophisticated algorithms and A.I., which is now capable of creating very convincing illusions. Pandemics, alien invasions, disasters, tragedies can be made real. Any event can be made a global topic. Any threat can be exaggerated and used as an instrument to propagate fear. While people are distracted and kept ignorant by continually created artificial agendas, actual agendas are executed silently and steadily.

The gap between the masses and the highest level of the hierarchy widens. The masses are kept in ignorance, unable to see and understand the motives of the top level.

We cannot of course say that happy moments and satisfaction are nonexistent in people's lives, but when we generalize the situation to the masses and we compare it with those of our forager ancestors, we can confidently say that we are living the ultimate phase of a misery.

These are the consequences of distancing from the nature and the natural.

The feeling of loneliness is omnipresent. People are in constant conflict with what they believe vs. what they have to do in order to survive a stable and decent life. Everybody is trying to adapt. Most people feel a boredom and distress that they cannot explain, are desperately after a concept they call "love", which they cannot define.

This is a world where most children are raised with only a limited number of people, generally their mother and father. In the case of a single-parent household which is becoming more frequent, it's just one person.

Around one eighth of people globally live in extreme poverty, who cannot afford basic needs in case of any shortage, let alone a local or a global crisis.

Different shapes of humanity arise due to the pressure of civilization on humans. Peculiar situations, thoughts, ideologies and behaviors; diversities of misery.

These ideas are simply the result of an arrogance that we developed through civilization. The fact that human population has increased to 8 billion over the Holocene period cannot be the indication of a successful evolution. Humans do have characteristics that differ them from other species but the difference is in the quantity of those characteristics. Cultural behavior, symbolic behavior or cognitive abilities are not exclusive to humans.

These are comforting ideas that would make you feel good and keep your hopes high, but unfortunately they are baseless. The first reason is the natural inclination of humans to stratification and hierarchy, when switched to a settled life. That is something that we cannot prevent. The second reason is the perpetuating vicious circle we mentioned earlier; exploiting more resources, increasing specialization, usage of new technologies to suppress the negative effects of previous ones and exploiting again more resources which are not infinite and declining fast. Words like "sustainability" or "renewable energy" are just baseless buzz words used by the mass media while advertising global policies. Nothing is sustainable except human muscle. Settling down and adopting domestication inevitably lead to unsustainability.

These ideas cannot be those of a visionary, as any wise person who understands the peculiarities of quantum mechanics and relativity would see how far we are from deciphering the mysteries of the universe. When the complexity is infinite, any step you take towards understanding it will be worthless, as any number divided by infinity equals zero.

This idea should be the result of an ignorance of evolutionary processes. At most 500 generations has passed since then. This is simply not enough for such an intense genetic adaptation to domestication. While talking about a wide variety of human population spread over the world, no one can talk about it with any degree of precision. How much we adapted, even small, that's something we cannot say and measure. Genetically we are almost the same forager, born wild and then tamed by our parents, education system, laws, rules, enforcers and other aspects of society.

It was indeed primitive. However, the idea in general seems to belong to a person detached from the nature and who is too distracted by his excessive focus on Holocene history and its complications. If modern times were shown to a forager 100 kya, they would also find those images horrible, dark and with a lot of misery. We normalize the environment we were born in.

Imagine a small group of people who doesn't know each other well and who decide to go on a cabin boat trip. The weather is good, everything goes well during the first few days but after that, naturally, conflicts arise. Within another few days, the situation becomes unresolvable and everybody is focused on who did what, who said what, who should've made this, who shouldn't have made that. They find themselves on the brink of physical confrontations. Nobody questions why they made the mistake of having that trip in the first place. We are in this situation.

This idea assumes that when there is life somewhere, it will eventually evolve into species with symbolic behavior, their population will increase, specialization will occur, those species will try to communicate with other life forms beyond space, and their civilization will continue a long time. Why don't we discuss the following? What is the probability of an existence of life in an astronomical body? What is the probability of an evolution leading to a symbolic behavior in similar situations to ours? If that ever occurs, how long will they exist until their extinction?

The life on earth began 3.5 Gya and the world is likely to support life for another 1.75 Gyr if nothing happens disastrously, like a big asteroid impact. So the whole period is 5.25 Gyr in the case of our planet. We have been sending radio signals for about 100 years. Many people will agree that humans are on a fast track towards their extinction, towards being a part of "the great silence". In that case, out of 5.25 Gyr, there will be 100 years during which we will have sent radio signals to the outer space. That makes 1 / 52,500,000 of its time. So if those aliens ever reach a technological level to send interstellar signals and then share our fate, what is the probability of a coincidence where two civilizations will exist at the exact period where one would be able to detect the other's signals?

We are currently in the last phases of a mass extinction event called "Anthropocene Extinction". It is comparable to previous big five extinction events. This time it is caused by human overpopulation and overconsumption of resources. We have the example of Trilobites that existed for 270 Myr in the oceans, evolving themselves gradually around the same genetic base, without ever developing any cognitive abilities or symbolic behavior comparable to ours. They never built a civilization nor did they cause a global mass extinction. The closest biological term that would best describe our situation is maybe "autogenic extinction event", the global version of it. The term refers to a situation where the evolutionary adaptation of a species is beneficial for it in the short term, but leads to its decline and its own extinction in the long term. In our case, human symbolic behavior was the wrong turn and the dead end in our evolution.

So do we have a way out? We come across many misguided ideologies and few seem to be grounded in the original human lifestyle. There doesn't seem to be a way out. The vicious circle has begun and it runs in full throttle. A major setback of civilization is inevitable. When and how it will happen? Will it also bring the extinction of humans? If we don't get extinct, how long can we thrive until another major setback? Will humans be domesticated genetically by humans through selective breeding or other genetic manipulation methods? In which direction can the situation evolve after that? Those are questions nobody can answer.

Love is the main theme of almost every song, every story, every poem and it describes our very basic nature - our instinctual need for a forager life, which is reflected in descriptions like "Garden of Eden" in different cultures. As long as we stay human, we'll always be on an endless quest for it. Primitivism would be the only sustainable solution, if there was one. It is to return to our previous state right before symbolic behavior. Anatomically and behaviorally, we are still capable of thriving in this way.
