      From his books, he already knew what the world would be like. However if people LISTEN, and put words into ACTION, than these issues would be no longer. He wouldn't be surprised at our current situation.

      That's a great question but yes I do believe if you listen and listen until the point that it becomes that you don't even know you are you can then understand that he's saying what he talks about is relevant for the infinity of Infinity in time ❤

    I have been traveling quite a lot lately and I can say that "I" is repeating itself everywhere. For instance, if I had a time machine and I could go back 4000 years and pinch a baby and let it grow up in this time, it wouldn't be different than anyone else. In other words, our technology, coupled with knowledge, is our tool, mentally as well as physically. Unfortunately, we all obsessively cling to the past, even though the future is Hier. So help the future to thrive or keep your mouth shut.

    • @chrisjarmain
      @chrisjarmain 9 месяцев назад

      Why. He answers this with how people listen to music or dance.
      When you listen to music are you listening to it to get to a particular destination. If music was, then the best composers would be the ones who got to the end the fastest.
      Or when you dance, are you dancing to end at a particular place on the dance floor.
      With both music and dance, the point to both is just to listen to the music or dance just to dance.
      Why life. Well, to be alive is simply just to be alive.
      The same as these two analogies.

    • @chrisjarmain
      @chrisjarmain 9 месяцев назад

      A perfect society is up for debate or is just an opinion.
      Let me put it this way.
      Flowers are beautiful.
      Even I agree with this.
      Therefore, lilacs must be beautiful. Which is then an opinion.
      It's seemingly straightforward, but it is, in a way, a contradiction.
      A perfect society is just an opinion, therefore.
      I'm not saying I'm right here. But it just opens the possibilities.
