Anyone else feel like the reason why humanity doesn’t bother to fix important issues for a long time is because the people simply don’t care enough to group up and fix them. I mean when I try to educate folks on complex problems they often seem like they don’t want to discuss it and quickly defend the status quo saying “that’s just how things are”

But we can’t keep ignoring these issues because then it could delay necessary progress for thousands of years.

    It’s always been wars, always been slavery, always been sickness.

    If anything, we have it much better than before. How do you think it was growing up during the world wars?

      Those where just the easy ones out of the top of my head, we both know those are the the miniscule tip of the eisberg.

      But dont you think you are just dismissing it yourself by saying we “always had those”, sounds pretty apathetic to me.
