The problem is that we live in a world governed by natural forces, and not by spiritual revolutions.

  Can you elaborate on this? What are you classing as natural forces? Spiritual revolutions? Such a small comment is so easy to dismiss because what you mean is not clear and those of us reading it can dismiss it as trite, obvious, or irrelevant without consideration or if we do give it consideration we are at the mercy of our own interpretation of the words used - either way it makes something you obviously cared enough about to write a null contribution to the conversation.

  Which natural forces are you referring to? Are you sure that they are natural forces (rather than learned behaviour)?

    Game theory, mostly.

      If game theory is natural law then it should apply to all humans, regardless of background. How does it apply to the groups of people who aren't driven by amassing material possessions (hunter-gatherer tribes, monks/nuns, etc...)?

  You mean 'unnatural forces'? As a species we have made great progress in mitigating natural forces. Not utopian, but there is enough resources, logistics and actors to feed the entire world, if a relative few didn't have to take all they can sequester for themselves. I see more forces pertaining to greed (infinite inflation racket, regulations as barriers, control of *-opolies, artificial shortages boost prices) holding back humanity.

  Spiritual revolutions are natural forces.

  Natural forces like quantitative easing (QE)? Money, as an abstraction and a tool, seems to be about as far from a natural force as is conceivable.
