The situation of humanity has entered a whirlwind of changes due to COVID, the evident climate change and the spectacular development of science in a digitalized and global world. Texts and technological advances are surpassed before they can be taught or disseminated. Nobody has time to read scientific advances, much less learn how to build them. The physical world space is connected every day with less physical time and mental time becomes more capable of symbolically reaching more virtual spaces. The threat of a catastrophic implosion between both space-times, the physical and the virtual, is greater every day. The danger of volatility increases day by day. If in the biblical Tower of Babel the condition for the physical survival of humanity was dispersion throughout an empty world, now the condition for survival is the opposite, we must unite in a world capable of communicating between languages to build a habitable earth in its entirety and not with towers of increasing height, as the Bible accuses. The biblical curse still stands, if we do not know how to react and each person continues to build their towers in their own way and according to their languages, either the climate, the war, the plagues, or a mixture of everything, will wipe out all of humanity.
