I want to change the World - And I want to change it NOW!

originally posted by: AlienView

Hypothetically imagine I'm an alien from a species so far advanced you are not even capable of imagining our power - and that
we can give you a world beyond anything you can even imagine - A Utopian dream beyond your wildest imagination.

I'd like a world where I can wake up and do whatever I want without having to worry about how I'm going to pay the bills or feed my kids, where I can hop in my flying car and be in Colorado in a couple of hours.

That would be nice.

But I don't want it unless everyone can have it.

So, are you going to call the Aliens to help you destroy the power hungry greedy people of the world? If you get hold of them, can I have their number, I am always looking for new recipes to create out of this world dinners..

The problem is that from what I have read of people like this who want to "change the world" their vision of the world they want is not one I wish to participate in. It's not that I am particularly fond of the world as it exists; it's just that your vision sucks. As far as I'm concerned, you're not part of the solution; you are part of the problem. So when you start threatening I say go ahead, make my day. I will not stand by silently and roll over to what you want. I will actively resist you. When you finally realize this is not exactly a cake walk and that the targets of your enmity are capable and willing to shoot back, I think the zeal you feel when writing words on a screen will undergo a reality check. You're not in charge, nor are your ideals universal. One hopes you have the wisdom to realize that.

This is the feelings of many. Like it or not, juvenile exuberance will not help, or change the world.

Let me clarify, I agree with your thoughts, and warn the author of the folly of looking for a Utopia. Even that is a fallacy.

THREAT

- What threat

I come out suggesting a better paradigm for World History and quoting one of History's greatest change the world peaceably profits the world has ever known, Mahatma Gandhi, and you started threatening me - I did not and am not,
except that it may wake you out of whatever negative trance you are in, threaten anyone.

- And you come out telling me about: "the targets of your enmity are capable and willing to shoot back"


OK - You got me - too many Aholes in the world to change it - Arm everone to the teeth and let Evolution proceed!

And for you and everyone of your kind who thinks the Second Ammendment is more important than the First:

"God created Men - And Winchester made them Equal"- So I still sometimes agree with Trump - Guns are not the
problem - people are.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it! - You don't smoke? - I don't give a damn!

PS: See how we have succeeded in changing the World? - Like a broken record that keeps repeating itself.
I don't give a damn really - I know this is not my home planet.

How about you Man? - Fed up with the same old same old - The hellish paradigm of World History and the inability of Human intelligence to change it?

Ready to give up? - Most people give up - All the religious and political revolulutions of the past have failed.

We still live like bestial animals armed to the teeth and ready to eat each other.

You like this? - Want to keep livng this way and waiting for WWIII? - LIke the idea of an Armageddon that ends it all?

Go somewhere else - The World doesn't need you.

it's all metaphorical... so this video is relative to what you just wrote.

good post. I agree.

So we are succeeding right? OK, then let us continue:


"The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
- Steve Jobs


"No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world".
-Robin Williams


"I choose to believe I can and will change the world with my words and thoughts".
-Rod Williams


"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the srength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
- Harriet Tubman



When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world".
--Elon Musk

Remember ATS... a rant comes from hope.




You people need to go back and look at all my videos.

AGAIN!!!! Go back and look at my last video!

(Like I said... it's all metaphorical)

Now that I think about it - Why bother?

Everyone who tried changing the World failed in the long run - After the dust settles it's the same damn World it was before.

And the epitaph for all the commotion is:

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

In order to change the World and its ongoing same old, same old paredigm of History - You would have to change the rather dumb nature of the Human animal - And after thousands of years of Human History Man is basically still the same
dumb animal he was thousands of years ago.


So I will leave this post with one final quote from one of the World's greatest satirists:

"What Me Worry ?"
