Anything's possible? I'd like a stable global economy, a drastic reduction in worldwide poverty, crime and inequality and increase in education. A permanent moonbase, a Mars mission, and a global program to massively prioritise the green technologies and other measures needed to halt anthropogenic climate change.
Those aren't even hard. And they are necessary. Except, they don't seem to be possible and you seem to be not paying attention.
- tybris 17y agoNo, I'm not paying attention, because I understand how the media system works. It's meant to play on your emotions. Not on the truth.

Just give it enough time. The economy will recover, as will NASA's budget. Crime will keep falling. The "third world" is shrinking rapidly. Population growth will come to a halt. Renewable energy is already the primary source in some countries. Nature will adapt to the changing environment. etc. It's just the information age that's bothering you, you're letting things get to your mind.
