No joking here, dead serious. What we are developing here is the LAST WAR in the modern age,period.
i drag out Einsein's great quote one more time, because it is Dead Center, bullseye, right on, in your face REALITY.
Einstein said "I do not know what weapons WWIII will be fought with, but i GUARANTEE the next war after will be fought with sticks and stones"
One must keep MUST constantly factoring in all factors not called war that are moving rapidly to a tipping point of plunging into an abyss, such as the economic/financial world, plus many energy and ecological elements, and population matters, just to name some
i , myself, will guarantee if these scenarios only come to pass in 1/2 part, humankind will have accomplished i feel what many hold down deep inside, but buried in denial; that being the human race is on a one way track to its own hell.
Futurists like Kurzweill are but manic optimist that are drunk on notions of Utopia, and absolutely blind to reality.
i pity the young, as they, if they live long enough will inherit hell unleashed.
What will be the underlying primary cause? The presence in this world of power groups playing dangerous games that are driven by greed, domination ambitions, utilizing strategems that all be fundamentally cruel self interest at the expense of the many.
This is a sick planet ruled by sick people.
The idealist have lost, the good guys are tied down, the psychopaths rise, the the huge circus tent is going to burn down, the carnival will be over.
Jared Diamond in his bestselling book on the death of civiliztions never see it coming.
Those reading Jared Diamond can match what he is writing and see it matches with the NOW, but on a scale never ever seen before in the history of humankind.
But his message will be heard by some but will have no effect on the drivers leading us into the deep pit.
Even when the SEERS can see we are but a few footsteps away from an ABYSS, the rulers will walk blind, taking all down with them as they reach a step point that has no ground beneath ; just a long fall into the darkness.
One can even approach this with the emotion free elegance of mathematics, and get no better prediction, in fact, it fortifies th dark view.
The odds for there being a happy ending is , to be optimistic, greater than 1,000,000 to one.
The outlandish smarmy opitimist, Thorton Wilder wrote a play "By the skin of our teeth", that is, we always prevail "by the skin of our teeth".
Well one he, Thornton Wilder, was a pathetic historian, because cilvilizations have had crushing catastrophic ends quite oft in the history of humankind; but now that we are GLOBALIZED, and the tendrils of destruction engulf the whole planet; it will be like no other collapse ever before in the tragic history of the human race.
My motto remains, i will live at peace within, with no fear of death, and hope to die as my mother did, with a sweet smile upon her face as she passed over one night in her sleep.
It was just a month after 9/11, and she had said, i don't want live in world where Bush is a hero, i don't like what i see in the future, i am ready to die, i just worry for the living.
The grandest thing is i had seen her over the last year of her life lose all fear of death, that is when the real peace came upon her, and her words became wiser and wiser as her last months here expired-- and yes her great sense of humour was kicking and alive right to the end.
So what is the point?
In the end my one single message is, all individuals that find their own inner peace and have murdered fear; you will be free.
