It would take some major changes to fix it. Difficult, but hopefully not impossible.
At some point we will have to change the fabric of society otherwise the human species will not survive.
Destructive power is growing exponentially, but altruism appears to be decreasing. Not good trends. I could write more, but perhaps another time or a different thread? I'm going to bed. Good night.N
As technology > Well I must agree with you there. I do believe that we are way too focused on terribly unrealistic standards for ourselves. We've come to expect perhaps more instant gratifications. Things seem disposable. We find less fulfillment in our passions in favor of a rat race that never seems to end. And then sometimes we come up empty or burn out, and blame ourselves. I don't know how to fix that...
