To Humanity
My mission is to inspire people to save humanity from extinction. Humanity is ignoring its number one priority—species’ survival! My message is both scientific and spiritual.
To do that, we must save the planet’s biosphere. We must learn how to protect and nurture Earth’s biosphere and be a champion of the human species. That’s the definition of a “Champoid!™” (see Author’s Thoughts for more information).
Humanity’s on-and-off-again response to climate change is the first step toward difficult times for humanity, and even extinction. The second mega challenge is the tribal behavior of humanity itself. The fracture of human society into thousands of disparate and competing tribes weakens humanity’s collective response to any challenge.
Meanwhile, unregulated or partially regulated artificial intelligence (AI) develops, interconnects, and gains strength. It waits for the opportune time to take over as Earth’s dominant species. AI is the third mega challenge or great filter. A ‘great filter’ is a hurdle or obstacle that hinders intelligent life from flourishing.
Climate destruction and divisive human behavior weaken humanity’s ability to defend itself against AI. Together, these three great filters are converging in 2024 (NOW!) and will cause human extinction.
My fourth novel in the series, Earth's Ecocide: Ceva, (forthcoming, 2025) shows how an intelligent species on a tidally locked planet solves the issues of climate mitigation, technology regulation, and tribal (Cevian) behavior. Everything about Ceva differs from our human experience, such as their bodies, measurement systems, culture, use of telepathy, and Fifteen Tenets of the Cevian Species. The fifth and final novel in the series is titled Earth’s Ecocide: Army of Souls, and will be published in 2026.
I hope you enjoy the stories in this series and that they inspire you to protect and nourish Earth’s biosphere so future generations can enjoy its majesty. Join me in the fight for species survival—be a Champoid! We must protect our home!
