 decades.  Extrapolating from recent events, we offer the following scenario for such a view from the future.</span></i><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:15.75pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As we move into the second half of our twenty-first century, we can finally make sense of the origin and impact of the coronavirus that
 struck the world in 2020 from an evolutionary systemic perspective. Today, in 2050, looking back on the past 40 turbulent years on our home planet, it seems obvious that the Earth had taken charge of teaching our human family. Our planet taught us the primacy
 of understanding of our situation in terms of whole systems, identified by some far-sighted thinkers as far back as the mid-nineteenth century.  This widening human awareness revealed how the planet actually functions, its living biosphere systemically powered
 by the daily flow of photons from our mother star, the Sun.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:15.75pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Eventually, this expanded awareness overcame the cognitive limitations and incorrect assumptions and ideologies that had created the
 crises of the twentieth century. False theories of human development and progress , measured myopically by prices and money-based metrics, such as GDP,  culminated in rising social and environmental losses:  pollution of air, water and land; destruction of
 biological diversity; loss of ecosystem services, all  exacerbated by global heating, rising sea levels, and massive climate disruptions.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:15.75pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">These myopic policies had also driven social breakdowns, inequality, poverty, mental and physical illness, addiction, loss of trust
