RE: Are you in a secret society?

in #philosophy7 years ago

I believe there are certain things that are better kept hidden from the public. It sucks, but we live in a world where the gross of the population couldn't locate Saudi Arabia in a map but they could dance you the whole "Despacito" song with lyrics included. So when you are thinking about change, you have to either come up with a watered-down version of what is it that you want to accomplish , so that they understand what's going to happen, or you just have to lie to them and just do things your own way.

Take for example the population problem. Our numbers are growing exponentially. But can you explain to people that they should not have children? heavens, no! They would freak out. "Are you telling me that you want to inoculate me with a vaccine that would render me sterile, so that other people's children and grandchildren can live in a world which is not depleted of resources? FUCKING NO, my body, my decision! I want to have ten kids and feed them all!"

Some times you can't tell people all the truth, unfortunately.

You have some interesting points, and while I think the earth could hold a lot more people if we lived in more harmony with the planet, there definitely is an aspect there of people being so ignorant and stubborn that they don't really care what happens to the environment or rare species of animals or our air and water and food as long as they get to watch sports games and Jersey Shore or whatever. It's frighteningly sad and would be comical if it wasn't so horrible and tragic.

Though ultimately I agree.. I think the only way people can live in better harmony is if they have the truth, if they are kept in illusionary worlds they will continue to destroy themselves and the planet by being out of balance and harmony with such.
