Well, here we are. Humans. Nature's "smartest" specimen. To be honest with you I feel we are clueless. I'm sure most people can agree with me that most generations are bred to be just that, so the man can milk as much cash-flow as he can from the masses. So we're not geniuses, yet we ARE smart enough to realize that the world we live in is a mess. Why isn't something done about it? What would the first step be to go about changing this?

My feelings are simple. However long ago money was invented, whoever invented it, why they invented it, they had their reasons. HOWEVER, why do we still follow a concept that originated back in days of such ignorance (in comparison to now). I'm not sure if anyone realizes this, but the world was still going around before money. So "money makes the world go round" is a bit silly, should be something more along the lines of "money makes the human world go round"....Now some will say what's wrong with that? And my answer is simple, take a look at the human world we live in today.

I feel we've surpassed the age of technology, the "helpful" technology age at least. Things are just getting smaller and faster, all built upon already thought up concepts. So we're not really making any progress, we're just treading water in this pool that we think is paradise. We're stalling time. Where is the world headed? If nothing is done about it I figure the poor will keep getting poorer, the rich richer, until the sides are so unbalanced that the economy simply can't function. So yeah, we can sit around until that happens, or let our kid/grand-kids live in that day, or we could set about changing it NOW, so that in a few generations perhaps things will be on the ups.

The first step I feel of course is educating the world. The next step I feel, would be to design a new system of education. A rigourous think-tank experiment if you will. We don't know the possibilities that lie dormant in our skulls, however with the proper stimulus I feel we could stimulate, learn about, and even master these great unkowns. Once they're that level, I feel the smart-kids would have very little trouble thinking of a solution. A solution to the troubled world we find ourself in these days.

Another thing that I feel must be done away with, is the whole "playing God" controversy. If we could scientifically unveil the root of our origination, proving that God does, or does not, exist, then That would be a large step forward. I dont think any of this can even begin in this backward world we live in today because money is too strong a force. <sarcasm> It's a lovely world we live in isn't it? </sarcasm>
