did you have a personal hope for the future?
I expected a world of peace and health, where the problems of humanity were being systematically solved and eliminated.
It took many years for me to understand how and why the human race has fallen into such complete disrepair.
To reduce my theory to its bottom-most simplicity: when the people ("people" being defined as: individuals to families to groups to nations) are governed by forces of emotion, that society is all but certain to become dysfunctional.
When people follow reason, compassion, information, logic, and the rule of law, peace and prosperity follow.
The United States, at times during its history the foremost bastion of the latter, has, during the last half century, fallen increasingly into the ranks of the former.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Your delineations are broad, undefined, and useless
I can't believe you're this old and this naive..
None of those nouns you speak of are concrete ideas..
They are complex extensions as means to an end.
What end.
The human system of desire is very simple.
It is a ruler that when used, always gets shorter.
Drink enough wine, one needs more wine
Smoke enough cigarettes, one needs more cigarettes
Have sex enough with the wife, one seeks the company of enterprise women.
As with drugs, as with wealth, as with happiness, as with all desires.
True damnation is not big-brother, and salvation is far from ideological law..
We have and always will be up against a very biological evolutionary barrier as enforced by the hedonistic response system of the human limbic system..
