What if it’s a phenomenon that’s been going on for millennia? And, what if our ancestors, you and I are directly responsible for this perpetual end-of-days? From humanity’s earliest days and well into the 21st century, we’ve been in constant armageddon, from one crisis to the next, without any lasting peace. War, pollution, discrimination, chronic disease, voluntary slavery, propaganda and a military-grade academia and economy are what we continue to pass down the generations. Can our future be any worse? I mean, we’ve already colonized every inch of this planet and started colonizing others; we’ve destroyed a whole lot of Earth’s human and biogeological resources; we’ve been through world wars, atomic bombs and continue to perpetrate holy wars; and we’ve turned the world into one giant factory with nearly eight billion desireless, melancholic workers on its assembly line. We’ve never found a way to live peacefully on Earth and annihilate human suffering entirely. We’ve never found a way to stop all wars, all diseases, all forms of discrimination, all suffering from environmental causes and all human destruction of the environment. We’ve never found a way to stop living without violence, discord, addiction, selfishness, mediocrity and emotional conflict. Why has the individual’s desire for such a complete elimination of suffering always been discouraged, dismissed as unrealistic, distracted and suppressed by nations, society and oneself?
