Integration Into Extraterrestrial Reality by Ed Komarek 

If a species, society or civilization becomes too internally competitive and factional, it can self destruct internally. If a individual or society is too outwardly competitive it will exhaust itself internally and collapse outwardly through excessive conflicts and wars with its neighbors. On the other hand if a species becomes too cooperative inwardly and outwardly, this can lead to complacently and so much self sacrifice that the species becomes vulnerable to violent externally competitive forces. We need both our violent and peaceful aspects of ourselves in order to survive in the foreseeable future. Both the ET hawks and doves need to quit fighting each other and come to the understanding that there is a place for both viewpoints.
In observing nature we can see that the human race has walked a very fine line between cooperation and competition the past 100,000 years. This balance has allowed us to become the top predator on the planet to the extent that we have wiped out other natural competitors and even other species of homo. Now that we have made it to the top of the food chain on earth we still fight and prey upon each other even while we also cooperate amongst ourselves to hone our competitive- cooperation skills in order to stay on top.
In the 1940's the military, economic, scientific and political elite suddenly realized that the competitive-cooperative playing field was suddenly much larger than anybody had realized or imagined. We were no longer at the top of the food chain but quite low on the food chain in regards to extraterrestrial reality. These leaders first reacted in fear and then later in greed as it could be seen that much power and profit could be had from secret exploitation of extraterrestrial realities and resources.
This has been a very dangerous, myopic and short sighted approach to integration into extraterrestrial reality. This approach has put us all at risk not just from secret internal predation from our own kind, but also from external predation from other more technically advanced extraterrestrial species in the galactic neighborhood.
In order to adequately fend for ourselves and maintain our independence, freedoms and liberties, we as a collective whole have to cooperate together to understand our collective situation and how to proceed to our advantage. We cannot do this while working in excessive secrecy and competitive cross purposes amongst ourselves. We must move the balance to more cooperation else we be conquered, enslaved, even destroyed and supplanted by extraterrestrial species more adaptable and balanced according to natural law.
This is the fundamental reason why disclosure must happen quickly and in a positive manner so that we can get back in control over our extraterrestrial situation. As a civilization we can't play politics, cooperate and compete with other extraterrestrial players adequately if we all are not individually and collectively informed and consciously included in the process of assimilation into extraterrestrial reality.
