Feeling Philosophical 30 years? Where are we?

Question

What if humanity was to break down the traditional barriers?? What if our programs that instruct us have self copied our DNA to start off with the complete and simple understanding: kindness, understanding, camaraderie, gathering etc.

But with all the outside information (mediums) have concentrated and evolved a new form of thinking? It is not just to survive anymore; it is too divide to confer, and to conceal, the knowledge in which we are entitled to. It’s funny that we only realise our ‘limitations’ when they are pointed out to us, we are only aware of our ‘enemy’ when they are imperious to the majority thinking.

Is it just that us; as the progressive human beings that we are, have lost our way? Or is this exactly how it is meant to be; people separated and labelled. Canned humans in luxury apartments! If things keep on the way that they are where do you see humanity in 30 years??

I mean I understand the survival in animals, but us as animals; haven't we come further?

Answer 1

I can't afford a luxury appartment, so, provisionally, no.

As to the 'theory' you proffer, it's too jumbled for me to make proper sense of it.

Answer 2

I can't think what DNA has to do with this SOCIAL problem. There's little point in carrying on with the same old crooked economies and corporate thieves and hoping the world will be OK if there was just more love, peace and tolerance.

If people want a new world, they'll have to do something about power. As long as people keep on equating excessive growth economies with freedom, they will suffer.

It is like signing a release form allowing people who control capital to trample on your head.

Answer 3

I think we may be living through one of those 'interesting times' ~ certainly it's a time of change, and it may be an historically pivotal period.

It's hard to tell from 'inside'.

Right now, I have the feeling we are making decisions and directions that will see things go one way or the other over a longer period of time.

It's easy to feel that we are somehow stagnating, but as someone who enjoys gardening, I know that it takes a long time for even the fastest growing plant to establish, put down roots and spread its branches.

Hopefully, the seeds we are sowing now ~ of tolerance, change and difference, will grow into a world that is fairer, more equitable and more caring than the one we are more familiar with.

There are signs that is happening.

If, within 30 years, every person on this planet just has access to safe, clean water, that will be the biggest and most amazing change in all of history.

And the truly incredible thing ~ it's easily within our grasp to make such a change. We just need the will to do it.

Cheers :-)
