@combination project, nothing better in my opinion. When you have no free time it is time to use it wisely. Putting my 2 cents to help out those in need was an opportunity I didn't want to let go.
I've always tried not to publish any political or religious ideas because I think not everyone would agree them but I keep respecting all ideas and religions so I prefer to maintain them private.
But a lot of things are happening nowadays in our/only world... if you read the papers or watch the news, nose the Twitter and so on you would get really overwhelmed of all the bad stuff spread all over around.
Everything points to an imminent disaster wheter it is about humans or nature, we are theatened on all sides that you are able to see... this, in my opinion, creates a worrying environment for us the normal people. You can see how this is affecting to us: most people are still really frightened about Covid driving their cars completely hermetic and wearing their masks although they are alone. I read here panic and terror on people faces, I'm sad about it.
We thought we were living the "welfare society" or at least that's how they (politicians) sold it to us the past decade. Of course I'm talking about the "first" world society, those that were undeveloped keep struggling to only eat once a day...
Macron (the french president) told recently that the good times had passed... how dare they to tell that? They are comfortably sitting by their abundance and power while the normal people can barely make it to the month!
When you look at the past reading the world history you realize that although a lot of time passed things keep more like the same. Those in charge, the powerful and the immenselly rich keep growing their fortunes not even thinking a second on those that manintain their status, those working hard every day to take a piece of bread to their families (normal people's lives aren't worth a penny). They must , at all costs, perpetuate their power and properties, only their descendants are allowed to think about the future and only their lives are worth something, we are backwards...
In our daily struggle we are cheatted by thinking that we have an opportunity of reaching the sky (our dreams of fame and fortune, lol) while we fight each other for that. You see it every day, when you drive your car, when you go to the bank or a shopping center, when you go on holidays and so on... selfishness is the word that describes the scene, people are only worried about their path to success, no matter who I must step on.
We are living the time of stupidity and mediocrity dictatorship. The universal voting right has not being won, you have it freely. Wheter you're worried about politics/economy/society matters or not you're allowed to vote and put those leaders on their seats.
Education is the key word here. A society that's being grown robots and ignorants are easier to manipulate. Fear is a good way of doing it as well as giving them shows. They learn the lesson rather unconciously. Social networks are also a great way as they give you the false idea of "liberty" while impacting you every second with stuff that most probably will hurt your mind. Fragile minds do suffer it hardly as we can see today. They are the first victims to fall.
Education can help strengthen people minds while helping them to think by themselves so eventully they can realize what is really important in life and have a better built opinion. That's dangerous since it can lead people to even think we don't need politicians to tell us what we need, what is good or not and which must be our behaviour. That's not something the "system" would be fond of.
I believe in democracy and universal voting right but I do think this right must be deserved and won by actions. We should introduce on our educational system a subject that should last during the mandatory scholarship period. I would call it "public spirit" or "civil responsibility". It would consist on forming people from the begining on what's the meaning of society, welfare, respect, liberty and such. Once this mandatory time has finished, that may be on time with the voting age, if people has passed the subject proficiently they are allowed to vote. If they fail they must try again till they get the proper marks to be allowed to vote.
I'm not saying that's the final fix to our problems but I do think that may help a lot to have better citizens responsible of their acts and decisions. They can have a solvent formed opinion that may have a point on their voting decisions.
Better actions are made when one has a complete view of reality.
An incomplete view may lead us to the complete disaster... just my thoughts.
