At core, we are all animals even today. Back in the day, religion controlled the society.  so called morals and ethics of our ancestors were derived dtrictly from religion.

Now, religion alone is not enough. Hence, we created entities such as law and order. Hence we talk about 1st amendment blah blah. 

The beast will be unleashed when religion and law are given a holiday at any day. It's cute that you think we are better today. We are just kept in check better. 

Whatever it is, if you look at stats, we were very cruel to each other.

They became less at the expense of employing police and army. Back in the day, it was different. Circumstances matter. You can’t have a confirmation bias. You are looking at things that you want to look at. I suggest you look at it holistically.

We have a much better education system and understanding of ethics now.

If you are talking about absence of systems, you should consider the same absence of older systems.

Still it won't be the same. Both scenarios would lead to horrible cruelty.

But given a chance, I would prefer the modern era.

Sometimes this world feels so suffocating When I go out and see all the nonsense going on.

Nothing major....people don't realize simple stuff...not even the master educated folks.

You go to a restaurant, you see them putting hot sambar and curry in plastic cups. They even take it to go in those containers.

Most of the movies are crap. The ones that are decent would flop. Shows intellectual level of the audience.

They criticize govenment and its policies failing to realize that the problem is with them....not the government.

These corrupt common people say that politicians are corrupt. Nothing wrong in saying that but change yourself first.

A decent union budget comes out.....and these idiots were at it again :facepalm:

You try to talk to people and they refuse to grow. Their mind becomes a dead mass refusing to change after 20.

People who connect with nature are decent though.

Then I started connecting with successful people and they are a world apart for the common junk.

They are very inspiring and have a very good understanding of where the world needs to be and actively trying to change it. This is one of the main reasons that motivates me to earn money. So that I can separate myself from these idiots.

Anyone else feel like that? (ofcourse 90% won't...I can understand)

The problem starts with you...if you see someone taking hot sambar in plastic cup, why can't you tell them. Now you are as stupid as them ...

My ideal world….

I would prefer an unpolluted environment with fresh food to eat. Also, I want a beautiful family with no diseases. Lastly, I want to connect with nature and spirituality. Live until late 70s and pass away in peace. 

I don’t think I can find this hypothetical world anywhere. So I accept whatever that comes my way now.

Please factor in evolution. Diseases which were more prominent in the yester years are not, now. Precise gene editing will be ready in the next 10 years, but insulin resistance(pre diabetes) is mechanistic problem not a genetic one. future shall be more evolved and modern but not in the way some imagine or predict. very few people have a vision beyond timescales. In 1950 Glucose dependency was the Achilles heel for cancer (warburg effect) later lipid targeting drugs came into prominence now specific amino acid starvation is trending. so the diseases evolve too. so i go with @DonnyStrumpet  bro.... accept, observe and adapt as it changes.

Technology innovation is exponential in nature.

We might merge with machines. Anyways we are not even a spec of sand on the beach. 

Its better not to give ourselves too much importance.

Progress is a wave, not a step—each breakthrough builds on the last, accelerating beyond our grasp.The line between human and machine blurs; perhaps we were never meant to stay as we are.In the grand cosmos, we are but a fleeting thought—a whisper in the infinite.Humility is the lens through which we see our true place in the universe: insignificant, yet curious.The more we create, the more we realize how little we truly know.We are not the center of existence, merely its observers—temporary and transient.The machines we build may outlast us, carrying fragments of our fleeting existence into eternity.Our importance is a construct; the universe neither celebrates nor mourns us.Innovation is the echo of our curiosity, but the cosmos remains indifferent to our noise.We are not the architects of the universe, merely its humble tinkerers.

Yeah you are right.

That has been my philosophy......and thats where my frustration comes from.

Even educated people talk BS all day and when we try to explain them logically, they don't get it.

Its like they are Chimpanzees or something. They are proficient at writing complex code or doing complicated surgeries though.

Its just a rant. Hope people understand to listen when someone tries to talk logically to them instead of saying BS like it has always been that way, or its a belief, we should't question it or how can we be so insensitive etc.

i do not think they do not get it... it is that stigma "Thaggedi le" which is causing the denial... most the people think that it should be the No.1 quality of a leader...
