I think there is a lot we can do to create a better "more merciful" world.
I think us humans are very wasteful and should use our time energy and money much better.
We don't all need brand new cars every few years which seems is what everyone wants and we seem to spend a lot of times on things like spectator sports helping rich celebrities and rich coaches who earn more than the people who decide whether we are free or in prison or if our fellow citizens get shipped off to war.
