Humanlution Issue-I

LETTER FROM CEO
‘HUMANLUTION’, kind of a weird word, right? But it becomes
the most obvious word if you understand the meaning behind it. We
will come to that. The idea about this interactive magazine came to
me after I observed and realized the privilege that I have in my life. Recently,
I have paid great attention to my surroundings and have seen
and understood things in great depth. And I can guarantee that you
see all the mishappening going on around us. We just tend to ignore
it because we think we do not have the time to tackle such problems.
The problems that I am talking about are discrimination based on
gender, race, colour, jobs, caste, preferences, wealth and the list is
infinitely long. Name a situation and you will see some kind of discrimination
going on in it. Other problems are environmental hazards,
inequality, societal pressure and yet another never ending list. The
question that came to my mind was what brought these adversities to
existence? Intriguing right? The answer is pretty simple and known by
everyone but no one wants to believe it. It’s us humans who brought
this up. The evolution of humans especially Homo sapiens (i.e., present
humans) is the root of all the mishappening. The world is a better
place without us. We are the biggest mistake on Earth. We think that
we are the superior species, we feel that we are the ultimate being but
guess what we are not, not until we stop behaving like we do.
The real question is whether we want to remain the biggest
mistake or whether we want to become the biggest asset on Earth.
I prefer the latter. We have caused a big mess of our home but you
know what the best part of creating a mess is? It is that the mess can
be cleaned up. I want to use my privilege to support minorities/less
known communities and under-privileged population; and to help the
environment. We need to act now and this magazine is the first step
by me and my wonderful team to clean up the human mess and find
the solution to the problems caused by us humans. I believe that we
are the solution to the problems caused by us. Hence, the name ‘HU-
MANLUTION=HUMAN+EVOLUTION/SOLUTION’.
I am Kautilya Srivastava, CEO/Founder of HUMANLUTION and I
urge you to come join the community. Together we will work and clear
up the mess and recreate a sustainable Earth for every creature living
on it.
