Towards Fairer Geo-Spiritual Ecosystems

Book excerpt: This edited book looks at society, education, language, and spirituality through international, multicultural, and critical lenses. As the elite now eye the colonisation of biology and outer space, we must surmount narratives subservient to privilege and power, which explains the book’s decolonial agenda. The rise of AI and biotechnologies has opened the door to a future where the place of humanity and human intelligence in the universe will be understood and experienced differently. Evolution shall move beyond 'natural' human intelligence and biology. If we want more inclusive, fair, and sustainable futures, we must articulate new narratives and spiritualities that can harmonise science, technology, and religious wisdom. But to re-evaluate the human self and society, and their intersection with the non-human world, we must recognise and neutralise the underlying currents of privilege and power in education, language, and religion.
