What can theoretically Save the World from a Blind and Fast Burning Self-destruction???
The Immediate and Humble Mass Conversion to the Spiritual Way!
Because Earth & Nature has been Ravaged without Pity by an Unsatisfiable, and Greedy Quest for the Accumulation of EPHEMERAL Power$$$.

Instead the Devilish Human one is Ephemeral Differentiation, All Lacks & Troubles... Inpurity, Spiritless, Perverse, Furious, Doubting, Inculpative, Egoist, Greedy and Monetary."
