Yeah, the Hindus have a grasp of the purpose of darkness with Kali, and the time we live in now being called Kaliyuga.

Iceland is realistically approaching a fossil fuel free future, lucky that they have thermal energy in abundance. Things are really possible with government and Scandanavia leads the way.

Markets and trade are not fundamentally wrong, they have worked well for a long long time. 'Bow in the next world but tie your camel up in this world'.

The movie 'The Corporation' was interesting...

Realistically things could be much better in the world today. BF Skinners 'Walden Two' was a utopian novel where people worked 4 hours a day on a farm with industries, never had money and everything was taken care of. Everyone had to do manual labor to keep in shape, even the leaders. No obesity or desease. Art, music, love and beauty was everywhere....

We are pretty lucky....90% of the world doesnt even have a computer let alone enough food to eat!

Its a cliche for sure, but greed and the love of money is the problem. Who wants to die a hungry ghost?

If we choose, we can personally free ourselves from the matrix and dance our lives out? Almost everyone has heard how this is possible... yet we return to the field, the shop, the school, the office, the factory...

Maybe dancing in the sun is just for kids.

The capital investment that now exists in the world is HUGE. In the west we can live in luxury as GODS. Because our conservative forefathers worked, saved, built, and invested time and money...

The first generation makes the money, the second generation keeps the money, the third generation spends the money....
