    "The sad part is that technology makes people feel smart... "


    Or it makes some of us feel really dumb.

    theres a very good book called "future shock", if you like to read its worth the time, in the 60,s we were causing the parents "future shock", in the 70,s we became the "future", thats a super short answer, to a question with a lengthy answer, and in thinking back, the 60,s had more changes in the aspect of "shock value". in the 70,s we were not shocked by anything much, with the exception of nixon, and that only shocked me cause that he was "called out" so to speak.

    Well.....in my 30+ years of being growed up, it seems to me....... that people became more selfish, and I think part of the reason is cause life got tougher. Think it toughened people to not really care about others cause "ive got my own problems" And also people have become more materialistic!! And you are judged by how much you got.
    Im starting to get tired! Im getting off this hamster wheel!!! hahahahah

    I could debate this, but I think I'll use this time to go make money.

    Only environmental and social change. Not human change.

    It's all Reagan's fault-he started the yuppie revolution and wanted us to all see each other as commodities. It's 'good for the economy'. I never bought it though, and never will.

    The problem with this world is a accumulation of thought...

    I have been playing thiz game for about ten yearz now of doing thingz right to see how "psychological egoist" of the world would attack me ... and low and behold they did like a fish on a hook....

    I went into a office the other day to get a food stamp card... the lady wasted a hour trying to find anything wrong she could possibly to stop me from getting the card...

    I eventually had to have her call my veterans councilor to find out that I was 80% disabled ... she could not believe it becauze I am in muscular shape... I waz very angry because I found out that the whole time I was thinking she waz trying to help me ... she waz actually trying to destroy me... "but being of good nature I said nothing" ... she also quandered why I had filled out social security paper work twice and had been denied ... my veterans councilor had to explain ... "its a word game"


    In my opinion the people had more spirit in different time periods ... it depends upon many factors and one of them happens to be politics and ego ... greed... those are unfortunately large factorz in the density of this world... " as many of you know" ....

    Also people do not like for their evils to be brought to light"pun intended" ... same as a child...

    It seemz that there iz a cycle of growth and degradation keeping the planet from a evolutionary future.... But it seemz to be going away... not by humanz doing ... but rather the planet is ready for change... considering the beaching of animals and birds falling from the skies as well as weather change... " on a conscious ideal it seemz to be a change in planetary consciousness which will inevitably change humanz as well...
