Just before the 1929 when we had the Wall street crash most people thought that the reality was their own idea of materialist reality.
Today previous mistakes tell nothing to this new generation of people.
The same mistakes are made and therefore the same fate await us.
Quote:There is some truth to that. People tend to get trapped in cycles because they don't want to accept new knowledge or understanding, even when there are examples of what can go wrong. Financially and socially we seem to make the same mistakes out of arrogance and an unwillingness to learn from mistakes.
I prefer to say......out of greed rather than out of arrogance.
Greed tend to blind the intellect so it is not a question to not accept the knowledge.
It is rather a question that the greed overcome the reason.
Quote:Religion is another example, forcing us along paths that we know are going to end badly because it has ended badly every other time. Yet you sit there and talk of spirits and cars and you make up statistics in order to maintain a view of the world that is wrong.
1) What i have to do with religion only Santa knows.
I talk of spirits?
I didn't know Ton.
As far as i know i may talk about the spirit within not about outside spirits.
The spirit within also known as the I among those who follow spirituality.
The I or the one who exist and the one who decide to start the thought or the action
which has really nothing to do do with religious believes.
2) If i make statistic is in relation to your distorted view that technologies take the human race outside the sewer
and into a better future.

As for me, I'll be fine. The neighborhood I am moving to doesn't have a tall building in sight for acres all around. I'm at greater risk of malaria than of height-assisted suicide. I'll see if I can't convince the "2%" to make things a bit better for that other "98%" that can't seem to keep their heads above water. Maybe if we can rid them of their silly superstitions, they can start to make some progress of their own.
Ton, superstitions have some weight into keeping human race in the sewer.
No question about it but you have to consider that those who pull the strings
of the economic situation are not based into the Borneo jungle.
They are based in London, NY and other modern centers.
These people do not adore idols or various spirits or believe in superstitions.
They only adore GOD $$$.
Do me a favor Ton.
One day pop up in Brisbane so i can show you how the whole system works.
