There is no intelligent life down here Zon. This is a society bend on
heading toward World War in a fictitious battle of the gods between
children of the same God.
They have taught the primitive peoples to end cycles of retaliation but
collectively they employ escalation policies. Rather than controlling
their bad children with tough love, as families do, they just kill them
all as well as anyone else in the way.
The social revolution of the sixties was subverted from within by the
politically correct bullies leaving an economy that is losing value and
little vision. They have failed to attempt to built ubiquitous public
transportation and squander the planets oil resources stopped in traffic
for hours each day. Then they war over oil rights. They have not yet
realized that petroleum is too precious to burn. Science itself has
become political truth. The information they use for social planing is
fiction science.
They have crippled free enterprise with taxes on income and sales creating
an economy that is NOT free and is therefore subject to fluctuations and
downturns. At the same time they fail to capitalize on our shared
resources and do not tax resource utilization in order to protect our
scarce resources.
They have forgotten the self sovereignty of the individual and the
strength maximal diversity provides by empowering individuals to be all
they can be. The simple ideology "do your own thing", live and let live,
celebration of diversity of the sixties has failed. Instead it has become
a society that supports "us against them" bullying internally against
everyone.
Collaboration so that we all might all accomplish our dreams has become a
world generally lacking in great vision, even for itself. Conscious
evolution is impossible without dreams. People feel powerless to make a
difference and therefore don't bother.
I support your aspirations here, but you may be on the wrong planet if you
expect intelligent discourse. Things are much to complicated down here
for the simple truths to be relevant.
Welcome Zon, from a hippy who forgot to grow up,
Jim
