Optimism flowing gently in a sea of chaos.

in #poetry7 years ago

I am excited about the future. Great problems inspire great innovation. The united states went to the moon with the computing power of a calculator. We now hold more power within our pocket. In the past, only the privileged few would have access to world markets and the current collection of information. Thanks to the internet, much of what was once greedily held by a small group of powerful inbreds has been decentralized.

The problems of the present create the context from which innovation is born. The future is bleak if innovation was nothing more than replication and spreading of the status quo. That would only exponentially increase climate change and environmental collapse. The inspired of our time will use our current blessings to create a new. We now have access to the tools we need to create our vision. With the explosion of the human population, incarnated now are many millennia worth of historical geniuses. Although now, the game has changed. We need innovation more than ever. We have access to more resources to solve problems than ever. We are now connected.

Yes, we are fucked if we do more of the same. Innovation is key. We will continue to create more of the same problems with the same thinking of the past. For many of us, our destiny is to create a new, flourish and build the rainbow future.

Nice.
Unfortunately social progress always lags technological progress and so we take our social failings with us into each new era of technological improvement.

Steemit Is proving exactly that point with the wrongful state of your reputation, ruined by unthinking fools who rush in and attack users on a social media platform designed for the curation of free speach and social development.

Only been here a couple of days and massively dissapointed with it.
Keep up the good work.
