Similarly, diplomatic relationships between different civilizations, be they countries or ethnic groups, could be thought of as the next level up. Communication and cooperation channels need to be put in place. Once they manage to form a cohesive whole, they become a global species

The next level would be when we interface with the nearest alien super-civilization, and the next level is when all alien super-civilizations interface successfully. Then what is next? Will we discover inter-universal communication and become an inter-universal group of life

What if this is all a process of all of existence ripping itself from the void, trying to escape its own death

What is everything? Is there one universe? Are there multiple? And if we knew for sure, how would we make use of it?

Despite knowing that there are many other planets, starts, galaxies, and galactic clusters, this perspective doesn't seem to have permeated the culture and given an "overview effect" described by astronauts who see our Pale Blue Dot and well up with emotions wondering why we can't all just get along

This is not some spiritual nonsense, this is real and important. We should take a bigger perspective though - a galactic overview effect. Why can't all of our species just get along? Then a universal perspective - why can't we all just get along? We're trapped here.

This is a game theoretical scenario - we can't all win if everyone is putting their own success above that of others. We will fail if we allow such ideologies to overcome unity. This is objective

Look at cancer cells - they put themselves above their organism and must be removed.

What political ideology is best analogized to cancer? I'm sure you all have very strong opinions.
