Walking beside a river watching honeybees on the flowers and breathing in the fresh morning air. If one has no hardships in life, simply breathing can bring happiness. How much longer will this peaceful tranquility last?
Sometimes I think about the universe and our society within it. Compared to the vast scale of the universe, human society is insignificant. Such a tiny, self-centered human society faces two problems. One is capitalism, which, along with the enormous amount of waste from overproduction, leads to the depletion of resources and the destruction of the environment due to competition. Meritocracy is promoted over wealth, increasing inequality and worsening society. People are vying for a seat on a sinking ship. Sooner or later, this ship will sink. If the next great depression arrives, highly skilled micro-enterprises may be bought out and brought under the capital. We will surely feel the helplessness of not being able to make even a single part of the cars we drive every day.
The other is the digitization of our identities, with the power to manage them in the hands of who knows who. As in the film The Load of the Ring, who will have absolute power, some ones behind the big tech companies? Moreover, the unethical sperm trade caused by LGBTQ propaganda will promote ableism and eugenic, also the mass production of A.I robots will cause 99% of the population to lose their freedom and meaning of life…. probably by 2045, I guess.
Since World War II, we have been living in the most prosperous and peaceful era in human history, yet we may be the most foolish beings to date. Perhaps we need to realize that we are already happy. We don’t know what the future holds, but I believe all of this is shaped by the laws of nature and is destined to happen.
H.I.
