Sociopath Community

I find it's too messy to even try to dismantle your list of changes. Remember there are lost civilizations in the past. Not even the egyptians know much about the origeon of the pyramids.

Before money, the idea was trade, as more people by ratio were crafty. When currency was introduced it must have been governed, so tax came along in the same package. As for globalization, I guess you mean the connection between what is valuable for exchange on a currency level. I still find it mysterious as to why Gold is valued by default when it came to different civilizations. It's rare and shiny, and it's increasing value comes from what we've put into it.

The productive use of oil, is what they call the baby boom. It was also the boom in technology. Things started happening faster with machines, and as it turned out modern humans started populating like crazy from that. It's interesting cause we cannot survive in these numbers without all of this technology, with is powered by oil. There are alternatives to our primary energy sources, we should start using them now, but the oil industry doesn't want that, and they happen to be the most powerful so they will swat anything that will wreck their game.

I think it's very clear that religion is dying. People are taking religion less seriously as people are becoming more and more educated and aware of the reality they live in. The entire world is being educated. It's only nature that it will slowly die.

Yes, I would rather show that I'm not preaching this as truth, I'm saying this is what I think as the truth, and allowing you do do research yourself.

Unlike you, saying facts such as 78% of adults are affiliated with christianity.. Do you honestly think 80% of Americans believe that Jesus truely died so that they will be saved? I'd encourage you to interview younger public school students. The trend is changing very quickly.. I'd argue.

Also, China in control of our country? That is so... ignorant. Their government barely owns their own country.

I can't believe you would critisize my saying "I think", and then afterword giving facts like this. You are a product of mainstream media.

Look how negative all of you are. Gosh, why is the world promoting such a negative society? Please understand that our media finds it financually profit to occasionally tell you how horrible the world is as a result of old Christian values that attempt to teach us how "lucky" we are, and I think we should maintain awareness of how powerful fear really is.

You are all afraid, and have no faith in the future. Humanity has so much potential. We are so smart, so capable of progress, and with new technoly, coming together to collaborate, and get world views that aren't filtered by capitalism before reaching you.

You seem to be generalising a fair bit Luna . 

Quote " I think its very clear religion is dying"

What is your basis for this?. 

If you have such low faith in Humanity to think that public education throughout the world isn't creating doubt, and will ultimately kill religion as we see it today, well then I don't have time for you, sorry :P

And that alone is your basis?

I hope you are right, and it is working in the western world. But the poorer parts of the world remain devout and it wouldnt take that much to push the secular movement in the west back to religion. If we see a disaster from climate change or a major war over dwindling resources I think all the progress we have made will backslide.

"Humanity has so much potential. We are so smart, so capable of progress"

Luna, Do you think this applies to everyone or just a small segment of the population???

I believe that if I were to go outside, and find an indivdual with a common public education and motivation to be successful, I could hire them and show him or her their true potential, and they would shine as brightly as I encouraged them.

I believe that we are all capable of so much. Our minds are so difficult to understand. We believe we are able to measure intelegence, but I don't agree with it at all. We as humans are limited by the educational foundation we have which must serve as a solid frame of reference in terms of information and what we know about the universe. From there, we can make predictions, and create ideas, and find patterns. Thre are so many ways to have a positive impact on the world. So much potential.

Camon, I'm a crack baby, and here I am with a "very" small company. It's not becasue I'm smart in terms of society's definition. I just have a different point of view on the way things are, and so I see things from a bit different of a perspective, and being the optomist that I am, I found and picked web-technology,  a niche I find to be funnest and have the greatest overall influence on the world. :)

I'm not going to disagree with the fact that society's losing religious values. I don't know how is the situation for anglicans, calvinists, protestants, etc. (and I don't care. At least, they're a symbol of bourgeoisie and not retrograde feudalism), but I can tell you that catholicism will die, maybe in 200 years. It's a shame I'll not be able to witness that event, because I despise catholicism. 

I think they're encouraging other people to embrace new values (which will end up destroying the very essence of Western Civilization) and this is why religions are decaying. It's all part of an agenda.

Regarding those economic issues. I don't know what's gonna happen. It's hard to say. Economy is truly unpredictable and whatever happens to it will be reflected in politics, social and other aspects. Things might change abruptly in any moment.

I don't disagree with everything you say. However, I wish you were more darwinist, Luna. It's just an idea, but I can't force you to think differently
