The possible doom of the human species is looming in all sorts of different ways: The creation of a bio-engineered deadly diseases, nuclear proliferation, global warming and contact with a hostile intersolar species are all real threats. It does not surprise me that I get contacted with the following question: "Why doesn't the galactic league step and in and help planet Earth?"
Most galactic species that have managed transportation between the stars, have come to the conclusion that they have enough problems of their own without taking on the problems of other planets. There is dificulty in predicting what the results of interfering in the internal affairs of another species would be. So most interstellar races have developed a policy of "Compassionate Non-Interference." (Watch out for those star folks that do not have this policy - they can be vicious.)
Most intelligent societies have this basic struggle: Evolve towards the unique individual or evolve towards the group mind. On the planet Drallab, for example, the people there began to put silicon chips into the brains of criminals to control their behavior. This worked so well, they decided to implant more complex chips into the brains of their newborn. Eventually, everyone was "wired" and controlled by a central authority. They became a Hive People, all working for the common society. They stopped being very creative and have not changed for eons, but they are very efficient at raising and gathering food.
We could impose our will on the planet Earth, but the potential of stifling your unique potential is high. What a loss of inovations and creativity, if you did not manage to make it to the next rung of civilization on your own.
What does Compassionate Non-Interference mean? Generally, physical help is only provided when there is a conscious world-wide request. On the other gripper, guidance via communication is usually acceptable. For example, I highly recommend that all of your buildings incorporate Hybrid Solar Lighting. It will save on your energy usage.
And I highly suggest that you begin to develope social solutions that DO NOT INVOLVE KILLING EACH OTHER! Just a thought...
Anyway, one of the purposes of this blog is to toss out signposts to those who will read them. Of course, the skyrocketing death of your fellow lifeforms - frogs, birds, bears, sharks, whales, etc. may trigger a harsher scrutiny of your planetary situation. But I believe you can take care of yourselves and this world...
