Or so I have been suspecting, for some time now. Not enough political will..I mean, interest group money to "do the right thing" (whatever that is - have we agreed on that yet?)
All of our ideologies - past and present - are inadequate or woefully outdated for the world's political problems. Climate change, environmental catastrophes, pollution, war, international terrorism, humanitarian disasters, human rights abuses, population growth in some areas, lack of population growth in other areas, a global, corrupted, inter-connected, and toxic financial system that may prove more resilient than humanity can take - and that's just off the top of my head, so to speak.
What can I do? I'm one person. What can we do? We're mere mortals, mere human beings. Maybe that's why so many look to supernatural, all-powerful deities and religion. Maybe that's why conspiracy theories about the NWO/Illuminati, et.al are so popular. Better that the Devil is in charge, than for no one to be in charge at all. Anarchic chaos scares the hell out of us, individually and correctly.
Perhaps, then, we should accept that the world is chaotic, life is quite random, and so many of our experiences are unpredictable - at least, to us. Maybe knowing that we don't know, that we can't know, is the REAL "solution."
Of course, I could be going insane or talking out of my ass. In which case, feel free to go on about your life. That's kind of my point here...;)
