How about the future belongs to the world? It would be nice if we cut this regionalism crap and get down to what's important like ending hunger and advancing science!
Having lived in Indonesia and traveling extensively through India and parts of China and being half Indian, not yet. The economic and political corruption of all three countries is staggering and what's most worrying is the unchecked population growth. If India and Indonesia don't start controlling their birth rates, they will create massive strains upon the earth's resources. At least China has taken steps. Certain Asian countries like Singapore, Japan, and South Korea have taken huge leaps of improvement but India and China still have a LONG way to go.
This thread got me thinking about one of my mom's sisters (from India) who lives in America permanently but will always complain about living here and how the standard of living in India is "so much better." I asked her, If you likes it in India so much why are you living in America? Of course she had no answer.
There is a theory that suggests power always shifts.
Due to ageing infrastructure getting in the way, it is cheaper for less developed regions to jump ahead.
Example: Victorian Britain was an undesputed superpower, but the cost of replacing victorian infrastructure (buildings, heating, underground pipes, etc., etc.,) drains the economy and requires more time/effort than it does to build from scratch. Any region that skips that era and jumps straight to the IT era would have less to invest. Same happens at the next era, and so forth...
A very successful person might get away with it (money talks just as loud here as anywhere else) but most find they have to go about things differently to a greater or lessor extent.
The past belongs to no one because they're mostly dead, the present just flew past so fast that no one could grab ahold of it, and the present belongs to no one because it hasn't occured yet.
How about the future belongs to the world? It would be nice if we cut this regionalism crap and get down to what's important like ending hunger and advancing science!
So I guess the religous people don't count and should be cast aside/ killed in your lovely New Earth? Brainwashed into not believing perhaps? You can't force someone to not believe in a god. People DON'T choose to believe. People don't decide to have faith or not. They just believe/ have faith. There is nothing wrong with that. Religion itself was never to blame, only those who sought to take advantage of religion. Unfortunately, no one seems to relize that.
