Its like teaching the blind to see. They simply dont know wat it means. First and foremost i will have to read your book though. And i will gladely give you my thoughts on it. Found it on amazon, it still has to make its way here so it might take some time.

Best/fastest way to get it might be to buy a Kindle version. You can then read it on your computer by downloading the Kindle reader... I hope you do persevere - for two reasons. 1) As you said, you are one of a very few that actually realize that something is horribly wrong (probably fatally wrong) with our current social model - and, as I see it, the only hope is our numbers grow until we have a voice that is heard - and leads to fundamental changes... and 2) on a more mundane note, I would be interested in your take on my book. I was in precisely the same place as you are now when I embarked on my project to write "The Future of Man". I reasoned that I had to do something to wake people up - and I looked for a glimmer of light in the darkness... I found it and I wanted to share it... Naively, I thought that the message, once explicated, would explode into awareness... But I haven't given up... Caspar

Could use something to kill time i guess. Untill i find a way to help solve this problem. Fact of the matter is i think that none of the systems in place today are capable of sustaining and maintaining a global goverment or population. Put simply i dont see why we cant just make something new. There are enough people on this planet in theory it should be only a matter of getting the right ones in one room. But im growing tired of speculating. By just speculating ill still be stuck on the preverbial merry go round untill it finally breaks. And even though thats unlikely to happen in my life time i cant stand the idea that my life could have made a diffrence. I just cant see myself leading a "normal" life. Walking around with blinders only interested in my personal gain and survival while i know its all so pointless. Every problem we fix just reveals a new one. all originating in the fact we are a devided world and our systems of goverment finance ect are all but falling apart. To put it simple when its broken fix it. But after so many fixes you will have to replace it all together. If your car keeps breaking down at some point you will buy a new one. Even if you love and adore the old one for all it has done. Its just not capable of keeping up anymore. Desided to look for a copy of your book.

Why is it that so few see that today's "fiscal cliff" is just a minor bump in the road compared to the "extinction cliff" that is looming for our species... The intelligence test of all intelligence tests.. We fail it we die.. Caspar, you sum up our dilemma nicely – including the feelings that fill my days and nights.

I agree with you for the most part. The problem being that man doesn't know we are in control of our own future. I completely agree with the fact that how things are now is not how it should end. My point is, how do you stop it. How can you change the path of a entire species when they dont even know that its there? With all the problems people face and the ones they think they face so few can actually take a step back and even try and look at a larger picture. When so many can't even accept another perspective on things as mundane as the outfit they wear. I have not been able to find the road my life should take. But by all accounts anything apart from trying to open peoples eyes feels like a waste. But how can you change the path of a race? How do you even know your idea is the path it should take? And how come so few actually dare to think further than their own existence? I haven’t read your book, but from what I read here i wouldn’t really need it.

]]> Comment on What the Wall Street Protests are telling us by tammy rosso http://www.peterhollings.com/?p=329&cpage=1#comment-2532 tammy rosso Sat, 21 Jul 2012 21:40:56 +0000 http://www.peterhollings.com/?p=329#comment-2532 I would post a comment on each piece, but will sum up my feelings here. This is the first piece I've come across that coincides with my exact thoughts. As a media professor, I'm constantly reading, analyzing and searching for solutions to the world's problems. Can this happen via a mediated experience? I doubt it. I used to think that the media could be and would be used as an effective platform for positive social change, which is why I decided to study media communications. Sadly, I do not see this as happening. Rather than uniting us, it seems to further fragment ourselves, our societies and our desires for a return to a whole, unified being. Technology, inherently reinforces relations of power and inequality. Seems to me that the only way out of this dilemma is to eliminate capital. A utopian goal that will require radically new ways of thinking. A goal, which may seem unattainable, but one which battling for is necessary if we are realize our full potential as beings at one with the universe.

]]> Comment on Atheist ads make headlines – and underscore the immaturity of our species by Peter Hollings http://www.peterhollings.com/?p=278&cpage=1#comment-2531 Peter Hollings Sun, 10 Jun 2012 15:13:20 +0000 http://www.peterhollings.com/?p=278#comment-2531 Jacob Thank you for your comment. It seems we are of the same mind… The critical issue here is whether we believe that there is purpose to our (collective) existence. Our survival – which requires so much self-improvement – requires that we do. There is life after (our) death – it is the life of future generations of our species and whatever may lie beyond (hopefully something much more worthy than the current version of Homo Sapiens). If there is purpose then there is a plan… and that requires that there be a planner… Most people would call this God. But what’s in a name? Our institutionalized religions have turned a lot of people away from belief in a higher power - but that is wrong – and will doom us to extinction. If we do not believe there is purpose to our existence then let’s get on with the selfish self-destructive plan that we seem to have adopted and exit this planet quickly before we totally ruin it for future life… Jacob

But I have always had respect for religion because it has kept our species in check. I do think that an all knowing all seeing being that speaks to a select few and rules the rest is a ignorant dream. I do however appreciate what came out of it. In this modern time, religion should not have the main say in our society but it should have its own place in the world that would act as our subconscious. If we could integrate the benefits of religion with the freedom of technology and science i believe that our society would become a near utopia. Your blog here is the very belief system i hope our society strives for. Its a long shot but we can always dream eh'? Thank you for the insight.
