Comment on YT’s, “The Future is What We Make It – Honeywell”
I do not mean to be disrespectful, but I would like to know who is the "we" in the "future is what we make it statement"? I cannot seem to figure out whether or not my family and I are considered part of this future that "we" are making... What kind of future are you all trying to make?
Me? What kind of future do I want “we” to make? I'm glad you asked. Here’s my Christmas wish list for the what we make it future:
I'd like to see some flying taxis, some extremely clean energy with little to no cost to the natural environment.
I'd like to see some more stringent pollution control measures for bastard companies and governments that value money over life and humanity.
I'd like to see that there is adequate shelter for all human beings that were funneled into poverty in the first place.
I'd like to see drug disbursal centers for the afflicted.
I'd like to see human affairs put in good order for the sake of life and humanity.
I'd like to see robots and androids replace a lot of the mind numbing tasks that the human body was not designed to do in the first place.
I'd like to see better approaches to law enforcement instead of the old fashioned "let’s run in with guns blazing".
I'd like to see better balances between the collective institutions and the individuals.
I'd like to see an end to slavery in that a human will no longer have to work just to live, but rather work because they want.
I'd like to see a future where the human is not bound to a company or an organization just to survive.
I'd like to see a future where an individual can quit a job and not worry about losing the meager savings that were accumulated.
I'd like to see a future where energy is free and not withheld because of an inability to pay.
I'd like to see a future where one's ability to acquire money is not the determining factor of their value to society.
I'd like to see a future where I can go to the moon and look at the stars from there.
I'd like a future where I can casually visit Mars just for fun and not because it has to be a part of some super important mission for acquiring economic value.
I'd like to live in a future where if a pandemic breaks out the money collectors will not continue to try and collect; where people will not be kicked out of their homes because they can't find jobs that pay well enough to pay down the debts they acquired from being tempted by various marketing strategies aimed at enticing the individuals to live a better life now on credit. There are so many other things that I'd like to see fixed or altered for the sake of a future that is not a dystopia, but for the sake of time and energy in reading I won't add anything further.
And should the future be made by a "we" that does not include a "me", all I can really ask for is to be allowed to die in peace - never to return to this dystopia called life because it has been nothing much more than slavery, longing, and poverty on account of being blind, deaf, and dumb. I will admit that the little love and concern has made it somewhat sufferable, but not to the degree of, "please, may I have some more?"
