Since you see hunger, poverty, and sicknesses as major concerns then get off your ass and solve one or all of them. Why do you expect other people to do all of the work for you? Don't you have an intelligence mind and a functioning body? If you do then use them to fix the things that bother you. Other people are busy fixing their own concerns.
But few days ago; I got my hands on a VR headset. The technology was quite off my radar, I just didn't think the Software & Engineering community was capable to develop virtual reality, under such a low price.
A headset from Google can cost you 10$ only. It's cheap.
I downloaded a free app, and I put on the headset. I was blown away. Literally.
All the sci-fi movies I ever remembered just crossed my head.
Oh my God. Humanity did climb utter heights if you ask me. While people die from hunger, others just bury their eyes in a plastic box and claim the didn't hear nobody screaming.
The whole concept of the technology is illusion. The image is a 2D flat image. People dying from hunger is 4D and real.
Humanity did cross the line. We could've end hunger. We could've end poverty. We could've end lots and lots of sicknesses.
But instead; we chose a fare similar to the M.A.T.R.I.X
Why I posted this here is pretty simple: what do you think as a religious person, an atheist?
I do believe in God even more, because when I see the coldness humans reached, I just remember why hell is justified, why earth is literally being butchered by many humans.
When Jonas Salk saw that polio was a problem he got off his ass and invented a vaccine to prevent it. Do the same thing for the problem that bothers you.
