I was wondering if you could outline a bit why you think the current conditions today give you hope.If it's ok with you, please outline why they appear bleak.
1. It's my observation that people are more anesthetized than ever because of the ubiquitous media, and the way it's so common to be attached to smart devices. This creates a situation whereby people do not think for themselves and are easily lead.
2. In the business world, there is a growing lack of integrity, particularly with online businesses. (I could elaborate.)
3. In the US, the millennial generation—in general—have grown up with this technology and are not forging out into the world physically the way previous generations did. Example: Being connected to the Internet is a connection, but at the same time, it can be a disconnection. You will see young people hanging out together but not really present with each other, because they are all on their phones.
4. Still, the general population here in the US, seems to buy into the political system. I have very intelligent friends who think electing a democrat over a republican would make a difference, for example. They just can't seem to perceive any bigger picture about the system.
5. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I have noticed that there are more Christians here than ever—especially among young people. This tells me that they are following, not discovering.
6. Our technology does not synch with our general consciousness. We still war with each other and have horrific weaponry with which to do it.
7. Humanity in general has no respect for life outside of human life. We continue to use, abuse, torture, dismiss, and consume our 2D brothers and sisters (animals).
