RE: We are not a civilized society

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

Well, who knows what the future holds? Maybe, I dunno. I don't think we can change that much. And in some ways, I don't know if I want to. Competition (thus conflict) breeds innovation. A good enough world breeds complacency. Maybe there will be a better world, and I'm not advocating for a complete status quo. But there's a fine line between ambition, and crazy :p

Till then, our country didn't have its finest day today, so there's that, and it's not the last bad thing to happen. (I wrote a post about it, if you're interested. Sorry if the shilling is off base.) That's why I think that we should be careful going forward in any direction. As mentioned before, I think it's just as utopian, and potentially destructive, as communism, which also sounds great on paper, while reality shows the complete opposite :)
