RE: The Doomsday Drip (Where are you living?)
What I fear is how easily manipulated people are. They say everyone gets the leaders they deserve. This seems harsh and isn't true in all cases (like North Korea, for example) but there is some truth to

It's so crazy! I'm dumbfounded that people still trust the media. Each media outlet is spins stories in one way or another based on their allegiances and that fact is so crystal clear. But people keep

It is concerning. I have a lot of hope that your generation will be awake and engaged enough to change the world for the better. I do feel like people are waking up. Thanks for your comment!

You're right, candidates usually always succeed by seducing the voters instead of winning their minds through reason. Sociopaths are great at the art of seduction and most people who seek high political

It's never-ending work in a world of constant change...it feels like surfing. If we lose our focus for one split second we fall. It certainly doesn't seem to be working out well for England. We follow

Yes! It can be very frustrating to witness people being tricked time and time again. But we only really have power over ourselves and our own actions. This is where we need to focus and those who are awake

Agreed, or when both parties are being controlled by the exact same corporations. Focusing on the positive and doing what you can to change things for the better is the only real way to sanity, peace,

Sadly, apathy has become rampant here in America when it comes to politics. People love to argue about politics but so many voters don't take the time to really analyze the candidates and their past records.

I'm glad you're in a place of peace/optimism and you've analyzed the candidates' policies thoughtfully and thoroughly before you've made your decision. Despite what side of the aisle you're on this is

I'm leaning more in this direction as well. I see how corporations donate the same amounts to each party so they have "all their bases covered" when it comes to influencing the candidates. RFJ

I just read The Lessons of History by Will & Auriel Durant and the book supports the fact that not much has changed with the cycles of civilization. It was a great read. What has changed is how effectively

I really appreciate the kind words, Kenny! Sometimes I feel like my work has very little visibility on this platform anymore. I'll be checking out the book by Pinker. I've seen stats and we are living

Yes, I could have gone down a very dark road with this prompt but chose, instead, to have a little fun with it. The western world is not on a good trajectory right now. I hope we can recover from this

Haha, those flying cars have been promised for a very long time! I can't imagine them being impossible unless they operated themselves. Whenever I see video footage of Dubai or some Asian cities it looks

For once in my life I was in the right place at the right time. I hope you get to experience this. The key usually is being an early adopter. Have you heard of Panjea? It's a new social media platform
