“It feels as though the world is getting worse”
feeling is unreliable
Is the world getting worse?
Or am I waking up to what exists
Or do I think I’m waking up when in fact I am being baited and manipulated by propaganda?
My role in life right now is to entertain a wide variety of thoughts and ideas without accepting their validity and correctness
It’s ok not to know
I don’t know, but we’re getting there
Here’s my thought
Savagery always emerges, one way or another
How do we integrate savagery into society/acceptable human experience
Or are we doomed to be nature’s cohorts forever
Definitely the latter
ok, new approach
“It feels as though the world is getting worse”
Perhaps.
obviously, feeling is not a viable metric
Life has always been violent and unjust
But the 21st century happens to enjoy technology that makes this century
the greatest of all mankind
and the most compelling
Ok
I’m not a fan of the words that have happened thus far
history is lost to all men
the world must watch as each individual adventures & learns what each individual before them learned along their adventures
the potency of knowledge fades & deteriorates
the world will remain broken
it will boom & bust always
as we interfere & fiddle
and do our best to make it right
progress is slow
slow slow slow
possible
but
the turtle in the marathon
a marathon run by quarreling hares
who cannot on the route of the race
and remember not the location of the finish line
so we must rely on the turtle
and this takes time
The world isn’t getting worse
well, not worse than it was 500 years ago
I don’t know enough to say how often resets occur
we makes progress in one domain
and then
on a different level
the same problems crop up again
It’s always the same
the world isn’t getting worse
we can have the hope that people have always had
we just need to study a little more, think a little harder
and earnestly transform ourselves by love and to love
for the sake of accomplishing what history cannot
the maintenance of potent memory
the world isn’t getting worse
sometimes I feel worse
sometimes I feel worse
we must learn again the anarchy of the rabble
let it teach us
may it not be forgotten
may it render us more sincere
Let’s fix things
because the world isn’t worse
It is what it’s always been.
