No one needs to know, but that's democracy.....used as an affidavit.....like, "we have democracy, but ultimately if it doesn't work, we'll change that". The question for England is, "who is changing that"? The Monarchy?...or a democracy designed to be weak?

This is UK voters expressing themselves, only to be dilly-dallied by the more wealthy who frankly don't care.

An essay of futility too long: BREXIT.


The UK people voted.

#1 the result wasn't expected.
#2 the result is hard to overturn.

#3 lets just forget the result right.....?

#4 what are referendum's anyway?

Its nonsense to consider we are helping a "planet"....like it is alive, and we need to consider it. Pure nonsense.

I agree.

It defies everything we try to achieve with technology and AI.

Yet we try to be the more powerful and god-cogniscant entity.


Hmmm.


Someone pull these ideas up here......

One doesn't have to be a genius to know our role though.

Its scary. Are we negotiating with a planet natural reserve, like we are forcing it into extinction....as a process of communication, as we do between nations?

We "are" different, that's why we put chains on dogs.

Faith...watch the dog cross over the course.


We're different, right?

Its very difficult....Is the end held as an eternal condition, or does it script a fall from grace?

Faith though should define that answer.

When you think about it, our hope in the future for ourselves, which inevitably in time cam become a collective thing, is what drives us.

Its really about our intention.

If I were offered 50 Virgins for my good deeds, as a promise of faith, am I a devil in a newly built whore-house or am I a Priest sharing the wisdom of God with 50 nuns?

Faiths do offer the idea of natural abundance in the after-life, for those worthy of that faith, yet...hmmm....there's no condition on us to care for that future paradise....or is there, as based on our behaviour in the here and now?

The idea of God though isn't as bad as we think it is on a time-bomb planet. God for instance in most of the faiths is not evident, is a future construct, offers reward for certain behaviour. Science mocks understandably what can't be proven in the future, yet that's natural. Yet "God" as a concept is an ingredient to how many people think, how they decide, and thus how they decide to apply science. How "we" as a species have accepted "hope".

I understand most scientists challenge the idea of God, yet, most scientists challenge one another.....in fact, everyone does.

In the context of the idea of preserving the planet as a global discussion, if God is not in the detail, the devil is.

Have we made efforts to put God in the detail?

To make a collective global decision is no easy matter, even in trying to conserve in the context of trying to "win" as a nation.

To make a collective global decision has its problems, mainly the idea of "faith". For instance, each faith would need to acknowledge the observance of nature. Some do some don't; all faiths have a tendency to be fatalistic, offering a greater world in the afterlife, which it seems most of us rush towards provided we hold true to that faith. Subsequently, Earth has become a time-bomb, socially designed, with our faith.


How would God step in in the context of faith, of the faithful? Would God step in to preserve the planet?

I don't think understanding gravity is going to help our plight, even if we do build the starship Enterprise. We could live on a cue-ball planet and still understand gravity without any attention to the detail of our natural reserve.

The question is if we have the ability to "agree" on "preserving" despite the obvious opportunity to just light everything up.

Is that our only hope, our way to acknowledge the planet, by understanding gravity and being conductors of that what would be newly understood force?


Are we taking steps to prioritise that effort?

Who among us is trying to build the starship Enterprise in this context of discussion?

Have you thought about the bigger picture?

What if understanding a greater science promises a greater way to better understand nature, such as gravity, like what this planet provides us, basically? Really? The political game will change with the advent of a new technology that provides an explanation for gravity propulsion? Science itself can change the way the political machine works and their awareness of natural reserves as a need to preserve on a human-sustainable level?

It would be interesting if this was one of those conversations of global direction at any one of the global power house symposiums.

Are we addressing the problem?
