    I feel like the world is becoming flatter, less interesting, less diverse. I feel like there is too much division, inequality, hatred, and oppression based on physical, material, qualities such as the colour of a person's skin, what they can offer to flawed arbitrary economic systems, their perceived value based on this. I feel like the broader narratives within societal are dividing people, unproductively and for no good reason other than to perpetuate those divisions. I feel like the media is to blame for creating those divisions. I feel like there is too much power and wealth in the hands of a few who spend very little. I feel like there is no goal towards building a better society, only deconstruct societies and populations through a globalist narrative. I feel like human life has become less meaningful and its intrinsic qualities reduced into a number dependent on technology. I feel like intrinsic human emotions and feelings have been blunted and stunted by technology. I feel like this desensitisation to everything that is whole and good is reducing innovation, creativity, and fill people's heads with negative thoughts. I feel like there is an agenda of deconstructionism throughout society, one which inhibits achievement, only promotes dwelling in negatively and emotional pleas. I feel like there is a narrative to hide and rewrite history and philosophy based on 'what is good' not 'what is true'. I feel like there is cause to flatten the societal narratives and conversations through technology and homogenisation of views and ideas. I feel like there is a push to blend ethnicities and races to eliminate that one thing that is the cause of all this: biological determinism. The intrinsic differences between races is something which is blocking human progress, as a collective species, only because of the way we have designed our societies. I feel like society is crumbling. Human brains are becoming sluggish and mushed into a fuzzy blend of technology and compliance. I feel like people are doing these they are not designed to do. I feel like natural has been unrooted and replaced by unnatural. I feel like human race is on a giant garbage heap pushing each other around. I feel like human life is dead... I feel like there is nothing here except everything which is bad...I don't know how all this will end. I feel like productive small populations are being snowballed into larger unproductive ones. I feel like depopulation is conclusion.

    “When I was young I thought and I said to God, and in all my prayers this was the base: ‘Give me energy so that I can change the whole world.’ Everybody looked wrong to me. I was a revolutionary and I wanted to change the face of the earth.

    “When I became a little more mature I started praying: ‘This seems to be too much. Life is going out of my hands–almost half of my life is gone and I have not changed a single person, and the whole world is too much.’ So I said to God, ‘My family will be enough. Let me change my family.’

    “And when I became old,” says Bayazid, “I realized that even the family is too much, and who am I to change them? Then I realized that if I can change myself that will be enough, more than enough. I prayed to God, ‘Now I have come to the right point. At least allow me to do this: I would like to change myself.’

    “God replied, ‘Now there is no time left. This you should have asked in the beginning. Then there was a possibility.´” -Bayazid

    What you feel may be right but remember that you are a part of the world/people that you are describing, don't throw away your responsibility. LEAD BY EXAMPLE before complaining (even if what you complain about is true).

    As Hegel would say:

    "The course of humanity is the course of history: - It progresses, reaches the point of contradictions, and summarizes in a synthesis of both previous periods."

    We are entering a second "Dark Age". That is why you perceive and are able to perceive these characteristics. During the fall, existence becomes much more present.
