This Madness is Coming to an End
The present status quo which most of
us are used to is going to change.
Why? Because it has to.
Fast forward
twenty years, two decades if you will. Think the year 2034.
The
decadence and arrogance of the culture in the northeastern USA will have come
to an end in its influence. Those picking up the pieces will say it was obvious
all along. Those others who have to say
"would you like fries with that order" will still not understand in
many cases. Simply said, their known world and culture has changed right in
front of them. Just because they
recreate and marry together and even immigrate into this region is no reason
for the rest of us to follow them. Now
in fairness, this world worked for an extended period of time, but now the well
is dry and this culture is bereft of productive ideas that will help "we
the people".
Let me
target certain groups.....the media and the academics.
I suspect future
"news" reporting will be more like the news and less like the present
editorials and personal political opinions of those who masquerade such as
news.
I also
suspect academia from outside this culture will gain new prominence and
respect. That's the good news. The bad news is that they had better perform to
make things better for the people and our children. The good news is that there
are many smart people oozing with initiative and willing to step up to the
plate.
Also I
suspect the world's population will settle down, thought our world's standards
of living and resulting demands will still increase for a while. More people
needing and wanting more electricity is a typical example.
Even dumbing
down our populations and breaking up Families is becoming more obvious in the adverse
consequences to so many.
Worse case, we the people may descend into some kind of
fascism and dictatorships, which always fail in the end, though many millions would
have to die along the way. Keeping the transportation system running on time is
not the same as running a country and
the people for their benefit.
So much
effort and initiative still has to be done by those who both pick up the
pieces, like work and make a living for themselves and their Families, and then LEAD we the people to a more
prosperous and hopeful future. An
obvious example is the demise of the New York Times as others pick the
wonderful writing in the sections other than the news and political opinions.
There is a
better way. Some might call it better alternatives.
Either way,
I sure expect change for the better, albeit with much work and initiative
having to be taken to make "it happen". It might even have to take a
third party in the USA.....
At least
this madness is coming to an end.
That's a
good start.
