Quo Vadis, Man? Common Sense Approach of Human Life Perspectives

As long as man exists, any emitted idea, no matter how valuable or odious, cannot be killed or vanished. Only the man who temporarily lives and owns it can be killed or neutralized. Humans and their society exist on Earth for unknown reasons which nevertheless may be suspected by us if the question “why” is perseverently asked. We have some information about how humans appeared on Earth, but this is, until now, only a rough approximation. Given the evolution of society at up-to-today’s level we realise that our existence at the moment and in the foreseeable future on Earth is strongly connected with factors we do not master at all, such as the evolution of the solar system, climate variations, Earth row materials limits, means to support organic life, etc. There are also factors that we assume to understand while passing through different stages of our evolution and “power”, and that make it possible for us to adapt, answer and survive challenges. This non-scientific booklet shows the point of view of the author about how we should proceed on a long-term perspective to survive as a species stimulating, possibly, discussions and future actions in this respect. I wrote this text during a long-time interval occasioned my professional missions in Europe or abroad, when I was able to seize sometimes striking differences between people, countries, organisation forms of economic and social activities, and national and international elites.
