"Earth is a playground for deep learning ..." You said it all in that sentence, Joe. When it comes right down to it, all of us souls are in a cosmic school, each on their own level of understanding, and his own level of learning. I don't think there is such a thing as fundamental question(s) that we can find and address that will solve our problems, but I do agree, we have to find the appropriate solutions for our time in our history and evolution. Discovering those "timely questions" — and evolving possibilities/questions — can then help ease each individual (maybe even a society) to lessen the conflicts and resistances to change we carry in our hearts.

Too many of us hate change in our lives and will even tolerate Overlords to abuse us over and over again, rather than change. We love familiarity. Often, one has to hit rock bottem before change is possible in life.

What is it in human nature that makes us so reluctant to change? How much better life would be if we could more easily change and adapt to better solutions? On the other hand, living in a world with infinite posibilities, where can you draw the line and, with (smug) confidence, announce to the world, "I have the answer!"?

I love your essays, Joe! We need more Deep Thinkers like you to help us move along!
