Mofo, I agree with you from a philosophical standpoint, but greed and hate will never let the human race get there. It's sad, really.

Free energy IS possible though.. It's so frustrating to think about.

And in regards to there always being conflict, I agree. But this video of a fist fight is a perfect microcosm. It's a great example of how conflicts can be resolved through conflict - peacefully.

I enjoyed watching the whole thing when I found it but the ending pretty much sums it up. Watch from 4:05 for the jist/knock out. I like the girl at the end saying 'good fight boys' non-nonchalantly like a mother would say, lol.

I agree with everyone here, which sort of goes back to my first reply. Cap populations, conserve resources and work on getting off this rock, so we can grow our wings.

Mofo has his heart in the right place.

It's been a pleasure dis/agreeing with you guys and I hope to continue our conversations in the pantheons of epicness known as the internet. Oh wait! We're here!

I feel like humanity hit a rough patch in the sense that our technology and capability evolved too fast for our society/culture to adapt to it.

Like we were running and we sprinted a little too fast, right now we're catching ourselves with our feet. We're not sprinting as fast as we were when we sprinted TOO fast, we're not only suddenly going slow but also looking like a fool while doing so. But we're doing something more important - we're making sure we don't fall on our face.


...Or in otherwords - we're approaching the technology singularity that DE mentioned earlier, and we are in the birthing pains of that paradigm shift.

We are the pioneers of our future world, and it is up to us to make sure we go down in history as total and complete badasses.

Almost missed that.

Yeah, I think a lot of us feel like the 'crying indian' that I mentioned earlier when we think of ourselves as a whole..

I am still inspired by our potential, and I hope we can flourish more righteously in the future. Somehow.

Kinda like when you first become a teenager and start growing way too fast and everything gets all awkward for a while, start a rebellion phase.... which is more or less where I think we are as a species. We have everything to look forward to, but feeling invincible won't be enough...

How do I turn this passion I have into $$? Could I be a writer osomthene?

If you check out some TED Talks, you will find one that talks about how to turn gaming(the sheer amount of gaming hours put in by a world population), into solving real world problems and how they have already tapped into that to some extent. I really thought she was crazy at first and she still might be but by the end of her time, I actually thought maybe she could be onto something.

Seems like you might be interested to listen to this one among many others, ( yes I LOVE TED Talks). Lots of subjects and lots of people with ideas that can, (they hope) change the world.

You could write a book, that seems to be the fad these days. Kinda like posting on ACF, just with more mod---er editing

I don't know, I love writing but everytime I consider writing a book it seems impossible. My mind is usually all over the place so it's hard to imagine writing something that's 200+ pages of one continuous idea... I have an easier time seeing myself writing 100-150 things than a 250 page book

Then again I've never tried.

I dunno, no matter what I've gotta find any job, asap. Been rough starting from scratch in cali again after bein in hawaii for so long.
