Goals uniting humanity on a planetary scale: from archaic instincts to global memplexes Introduction: Planetaryity as an evolutionary challenge and a cognitive revolution The idea of goals uniting all of humanity goes beyond political manifestos and enters the realm of evolutionary biology, neuropsychology, and complex systems theory. The ability to cooperate in this form is not a given, but a cognitive and cultural achievement that contradicts many ancient adaptive programs designed for the survival of small groups. Planetary goals represent transcultural memplexes (complexes of ideas, according to R. Dawkins) that require overcoming fundamental psychological barriers: particularism, short-term thinking, and cognitive distortions such as the "tragedy of the commons." Hierarchy of goals: from basic survival to existential coevolution Planetary goals can be structured by levels of imperative, from the most fundamental (common to any living community) to derived, requiring a high level of reflection. Level 1: Anthropoecological imperative (Physical survival of the species and its niche) These are goals the abandonment of which calls into question the very existence of humanity as a biological species in its current ecological niche. Stabilization of the climate and biosphere. This is not an abstract "care for nature," but a question of preserving planetary life support systems. Climate change, soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, ocean pollution are direct threats to food security, water supply, health, and ultimately, political stability. Example: The Paris Agreement on climate (2015) — the first attempt in history to formalize this goal at the global level, although its implementation is facing the "free rider" problem. Preventing a global pandemic. COVID-19 has become a stress test showing the vulnerability of a globalized world. The goal is not just to respond, but to create a unified system of epidemiological surveillance, transparent data exchange, and fair d ... Read more
