Abstract
This article argues that in order to achieve global siblinghood for the human species, we have to transcend the tribal consciousness and corresponding rationality that emerged in early human societies but has continued to shape interactions among nations up to the present time. This consciousness has to be transformed into a global consciousness and corresponding objective rationality. Such a transformation seems essential to reversing the suicidal course of the species.
