Are we Doomed?

I'm tired of asking questions.

There should be some change by now, but it seems that almost every sign shows us a grim future. Albeit we can have a good future if we stop limiting ourselves.

If you think, we are all good, our world is not falling apart. You better watch these videos: (They are not mine.)

This will take a "long" time! Feel free to "read to the end before watching them"!

  1. The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire (Documentary) - Independant POV

  2. Secrets in Plain Sight 1-23 (Full video) - LogosMedia

  3. What You're Not Supposed to Know About America's Founding - TheJohnBirchSociety

Okay, so, if you didn't watch the videos yet, why is our world/society/government broken?

Monetary systems are built to keep the working class enslaved, or just overworked, and barely having a life. We are given numbing agents, like alcohol, air conditioning, sugar, medication, products, art, social media etc. These numbing agents substitute for the pain we feel because we do not get to live healthy lives.

I know that you may be thinking, "I live a healthy life: I don't take illegal drugs, I work hard, I have "fun", and I exercise occasionally", but I am not talking about the extreme kind of unhealthy, I am talking about the subtle, I eat sugary and salty foods way too often, but I also eat yogurt, milk, and cheese "that makes up for it right".

Well in what way is anything that I just mentioned healthy? Salt, sugar, and dairy are unhealthy and cheese is very unhealthy. Okay, maybe you actively trying to be healthy but unless you are eating nothing out of boxes/packaging you are most likely eating something unhealthy.

Then what about the kind of music you listen to, different music has different effects, but all forms are generally hypnotic, they act like chemicals, mostly making you feel immersed in what the artist is saying. The same can be said about the cinemas and movies.

The problem with entertainment, for the sake of entertainment, is that its purpose is to keep the population unaware and distracted. The world is like a big hospital, sedating the people with propaganda. Not only this, but the work that we have to do for a living is extremely difficult.

The main reason for this is because the natural world wastes much less energy than our cities and urban wastelands. But the natural resources are running out, and our population is massive, so there is not enough energy, food and healthy farmland for people to "waste" it on real lives.

The problem is, that our model for life was always terrible and unsustainable. Here:

Wait, but why can't we just eat food, can we survive on that renewable resource?

Well no. Human society has developed to run on electricity, "so smart of us", to make ourselves vulnerable to starvation in our inescapable prison cities.

The worst thing about all of this, is that we have been missing out on a major part of life, there is so much that we are not allowed to do, that is completely reasonable.
