Hi @chhaylin, I wholeheartedly agree. Have you noticed that if you actually turn off the TV and the internet, you go away and read literature or books more often? Sparking the imagination of the future political possibilities is absolutely necessary to be able to incite love for other human beings. From my understanding, the political layer is a construct that is reactionary to the underlying moral, philosophical, emotional and actual base layers of any human society. If the base layers are messed up, with less free thought, less critical thinking, then naturally the political layers themselves evolve to become more violent, centralized, authoritarian and volatile...If you read some of the works by Nassim Taleb and his ideas of anti-fragile, these are important for humans to start building the base for the next evolutions of civilization. There is actually a battle raging, and it is very deep to find it. That is centralization vs. decentralization. More poets, literature writers and critics could explore this battle. It has taken me 4 years of research nearly everyday to uncover a lot of this. The battle isn't even a physical battle anymore, it is a battle to occupy the thoughts of the human mind so that people start to believe in their conscious levels that their free will is actually influenced and controled to a certain extent. Only with the decentralized internet and uncensored comments do we start to realize this. Allegory of the cave is actually very important, because Plato understood that he couldn't explain everything, and 2000 years later we still can't but at least he could express it in the context of the material world being a sub-set reflection of the perfect external world.

Wow! That's some deep thoughts you have put out, @lpninja. I entirely agree with you that in order to incite love for our fellow human beings we need imagination. You have explained very well, what I think as well. I would be very interested to read an article you could put out on the centralization vs. decentralization battle. :)
Hi @chhaylin, Thanks! Yes that one is still getting refined and I haven't written it yet. I am so happy to find steemit, because it is a game changer in this scenario.
