This is the truth, we've come a long way from a technological and materialistic standpoint, but we've also heavily, heavily stolen from the future, we've stolen from others. People are losing their homes and livelihoods to de

This is such a good point! I have a feeling industrial based societies will automate themselves out of relevance. Because those who are bored will just find things for themselves to do anyway. Crafts, cooking, gardening etc, stuff people di

So, basically another arms race to the bottom, similar to nuclear warheads ? 1940s thinking with 2016 technology. I hear what you're saying but not all progress is good progress. The limits of our ability to think a global scale are an

Thanks for the good response. I've been quite aware of these things for sometime, but how to communicate and build awareness to an already hopelessly anxious and distracted populous? That seems to be the trouble.

I've noticed this too, some says it's a bad habit energy we've developed in our modern society, always running to the next thing, always looking to consume. It's as if there is a sense of uneasiness that comes along with

"The west has very little responsibility in Syria for example." Is that a joke ? Also, nowhere did I claim the west created all the problems in the east.

What are western values exactly ? Do they exist anymore ? Westerners are the most naive people on the planet now days, look at the US election, the pretend democracy, the constant bombing of civilians in the Middle East, the pathetic attemp

Sadly, it's because we're all fed nonsense and propaganda, constantly by our governments, corporations and media outlets. People are way to entertained and comfortable that it's just all too convenient to ignore. Even people&

Do people need air-conditioning or is it just a luxury? I guess now the globe is heating up there is more need for one, but I've always thought of it as borrowing from the future a little, a viscous cycle. More AC, More emissions, ne
