First sentence: We are a fragile species. Regardless of our claim to be the center of the Universe, professed by most religious people that believe in a God ever attentive to man or by most scientists who think humanity is the only intelligent species of the Universe, and have ruled out the existence of a higher God (‘Sir, we have ruled out that hypothesis’ said Laplace to Napoleon1), the position of man relative to the cosmos is similar to that of a bacterium relative to a human body: insignificant and rather expendable. In scientific terms that insignificance implies that we could easily disappear from the World, leaving few traces behind and the Universe would not even notice. This is what happens to us as individuals, despite our intense struggle against death and our creative attempts to leave behind a trace of our information - our work and genes in our sons. But within a few generations 99.99% of human beings disappear in the memory of those who follow them. When we go through century old pictures of our ancestors, we cannot even remember who they are. Death erases information, returning all beings to the initial dust of space-time from where they departed. So it will happen to the human species if we do not take seriously, as we do with our individual lives, the protection of our collective, social super-organism, History – the life of the human species, from the first cell of history, the first human being who reproduced and colonized the Earth, till the last group of men that will inhabit it.
The fundamental systems of Gaia, the planet Earth, are super-organisms, individual groups of the same species, controlled by networks of energy and information. In the human case, our cells are the ‘individual parts’, joined by energetic, blood systems and informative, nervous systems, which create together the whole super-organism. So the organism dies when those networks that created it go out of balance, suffering an excess of energy (fever, accidents) or a lack of it (cold, hunger) or an excess of information (cancer, old age) or a lack of it (ignorance that puts us in jeopardy).
A civilization of history is also a super-organism made of human cells (citizens) joined by networks of energy (electricity networks, roads, transport machines, weapons) and networks of information (science, financial systems, audiovisual information, culture, political laws). It follows that a civilization dies when an excess of energetic weapons or financial and legal information (wars, corrupted laws, creation of toxic money) destroys the political or financial system, as it is happening today with many societies2.
Death happens when the networks of energy and information that hold together the cellular elements of any organic system become corrupted and fall apart. As any medical student knows, the foundation of his discipline is physiology, which studies the imbalances of those energetic/blood and nervous/informative systems that cause most human sicknesses. 
In the case of History, the sum of all nations, which form today, in the age of Globalization, an interconnected single Historic Super-organism, the informative, legal and political systems and the energetic, economic systems have to be balanced to survive. Or else, when those legal and economical systems become corrupted, the nation suffers economical crises, revolutions and wars that might destroy the nation or civilization.
Description: The Universe is a complex, fractal system that evolves in biological radiations of species, which grow in complexity. Man the most complex being of information, could easily disssapear if he evolves a more powerful new species of energy, weapons, beyond what this planet can tolerate... Since death is an overdrive of energy that erases the information of life, in the next decades mankind will face such existential threat as humans create super-colliders that will peer in the interior of the atoms, liberatingg quarks, responsbile for the explosion of super-novas and robotic weapons, made of metal, a stronge ratom than ourselve.s
