Or are you blind towards it all? The earth is warming, the oceans are dying, deserts are expanding, forests are burning, the ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising, storms are monstrous, heat waves are longer and hotter… people are dying. Just turn on the news and there it is, another catastrophic event. But the real tragedy is that

We are told that we are making great progress because we have new technology. The iPhone is hailed as bringing in the mobile revolution yet it seems more like mobile isolationism, today.

Political movements encourage people to vote. “Vote! Get out and vote!” they shout. The same edicts are repeated over and over as if democracy itself depends on it. Yet, nothing seems to change.  Or, to the surprise of the voters, even if their candidates win, the world’s problems remain in place with no reasonable solutions on the table or even

Ever wonder where all these ‘technological advancements’ are heading? Hint: NOT humanity. Technology is a product of the banking industry. It is only deployed when it can return the initial investment or the loans from which the money was printed. This narrows technologies future scope. There will be no technology to eliminate poverty because poverty by definition has no money
