Category: At the precipice
We are seeing that the social systems that we evolved are not serving the general wellbeing of people. What had led us here?
- At the precipice
- We are living in times where there is supposed to be properity for all, but our societal systems are not serving us. Where do we go from here?
- Addiction
- Much is made of the unsanctioned addictions, like that to drugs, but the economy is heavily dependent upon people unquestioningly wanting the new and self-indulgent, also making them addictions.
- Apologies for the sins of our fathers
- Many think that whatever our ancestors did is not our problem, because we are not them, and so we have nothing to answer for. Why should we apologise?
- Judgement day
- We see so many people who seem to have chosen to believe in some delusional world that is not part of the reality of this planet. Welcome to Judgement Day!
- Political parties
- It is hard to imagine any modern democracy without political parties, but their very nature and modus operandi undermines the democratic process.
- Pyramid belief schemes
- We have heard about financial pyramid schemes where they only work while everyone believes in them, collapsing otherwise. However, a lot of what we take for granted has exactly the same fragile basis.
- Religion in politics
- Those who follow a religion seek to make it a guide for how they live their life. Politics is where enforcable laws are defined to rule how others live their lives. Problems can occur when the two meet.
- Right to rule?
- Many groups claim they are superior because of what they have achieved, but are those achievements actually a covering up of their own sense of inadequacy?
