Human Continuum -vs- Human Condition

So for my first post, I'll go really deep to set the tone. I've recently been dwelling on the thought of the human struggle for survival and society's views determining the human condition. As we near a dawn of new time and space theories and understandings on old principles, what will human kind do? We as an organism are programmed to process proteins and procreate our species into eternal existence. Our society however is not on the same page. We have, as societal creatures, created certain rules for how we interact on a daily basis and have completely based our society and habits on these social standards, but will that inhibit our ability to have a continuum of our species outside of this planet. I know this is a broad topic, but that is kind of the point of this musing. I pose this: the only way that the human species could continue to exist outside of our current planet would be to drop our egos and our societal standards and attempt to re-arrange what is important. Things like education and fair mindedness would have to take priority in order for us to advance to life outside of this planet. But is this possible? With all that we have set forth, can human kind bury the proverbial hatchet and realize that money and gods are not important, but rather we as a people are the answer to prolonging our species?

I think that this is good food for thought. Forget all of our differences and egos, tear down the walls that separate us and see what is left...just people. When it comes down to it, how do we decide what is for the good? We are so used to the way we have set up our own society and adhere to it because it has seemed to work for so long that we forget that we are a group and not a group of individuals. When we have no choice but to flee the earth, maybe we will realize that things should be different. Hopefully this happens before that point though.

So, I think that sets a good tone for a first attempt. Please, discuss your thoughts and try to keep this intelligent as opposed to a bashing session...after all, this is an exercise in thought.
