This blog is about pulling some of the thoughts that I have each day and putting them onto paper. Each of them looking at specific parts of life and society and critically thinking about them.
The technology we have today is truly fascinating and horrifying. The first computer was created less than a century ago that was as big as a house, and now we have virtual reality and a prototype that can project images into your retinas... Almost every day I read an article stating that a company or person is pretty positive that we live in a simulation. Thank you Elon for starting that trend for this generation. I feel there is some validity to those statements with how much we utilize the internet and our phones, but where it will really happen will be when Virtual Reality goes commercial.
As the ferry is
gliding towards the Seattle Bay, I’m looking out the window and pondering the
ways of the world. The Isle is so beautiful. Full of forest filled inlets, sail
boats and beach houses under a bright blue sky. I watch the people around me, playing cheerfully and gawking at the birds and scenery. Not a care in the
world, or maybe they’re just good at hiding it… How interesting it is that this
world we see is all ours to share, animal and humans alike, yet we found a
way not to appreciate it by being run by money.
I have yet to
understand why we run the world this way. Prime example is a father asking his
kids right next to me, “How much are you willing to pay? What’s it worth to you
for the donuts? I’ll write up the contracts.” It’s all in jest I know, but it’s
an ingrained mindset in every human.
Everything costs
money. It amazes me that we have to pay a certain amount to receive anything we can produce ourselves, but if we try to collect certain things like rain water it’s
illegal. You can only see and do things if you have money. You have to work
“that job” to “pay the bills”. You can’t do what you’re passionate about
because “There’s no money in it” or “I don’t have enough money to start it up”.
Everyone is stressed because they owe
people money and barely make the rent.
Why can’t people just sit on a ferry and be happy? The truth is we do it to
ourselves.
The only reasons
why our world runs like this on a societorial level are because enough people
believe in it, or a person in power made
it a rule and not enough people rejected it.
Close your eyes and think on this. Picture a world that had no money. A world where you gave your share to humanity and lived life. All of your money problems disappeared because money didn't exist anymore.
How did you feel? Happy? It feels good right?
Constructs, beliefs, rules etc. are in life because of what we believe and what we accept. The way the world starts to change begins only when we begin altering our minds on a worldwide scale.
