Reflections

Inconclusive.*

As Fogy peruses the work already done here—his development progress and system engineering—he can't help but reflect on the steps that brought him to this moment.

And yes, there have been many steps, many changes in direction, many newer understandings of preconceived notions of what life had presented to him all those years ago.

We are all taught, in some form or another, what is generally understood or interpreted by those around us, which then becomes the root of most future learning. These indoctrinated concepts foment and expand around us, with very few of us willing to question the whys, wheres, and hows.

Total acceptance of even the most absurd ideas has led us to this point, where even fake news is believable, where fake heroes appear to be legitimate, and where the future is rosy when present trends suggest otherwise.

Many of my posts emphasize the need for better critical-thinking skills and a concerted effort to ask important questions rather than simply digesting what is fed through dubious channels to the unfortunately obsequious majority.

With so many octogenarians dominating world leadership—at the top or simply giving guidance to those there—it is no wonder that the planet seems to be floundering under the weight of outdated constructs, where pure wealth and power dictate the future lives of its peoples.

Human nature has a lot to do with this, without doubt, with man's selfish desires at the forefront of the lack of progress evolving around human growth and understanding.

Empathy is but a flickering candle in a wind of climatic uncertainty—hovering, uncertain in its acceptance on a planet catapulting toward self-destruction.

There is good sense out there. There are a few whose ideas stretch beyond the magnetic attraction of habit, prepared to reinvigorate a better future, but who also feel the weight of such a predominance of negative lovers of all things for now, this moment.

And who can blame this majority? As mentioned earlier, the future seems all but certain; a world strung along an ever-tightening intolerance, easily thrust into combat, does not bode well. A world where resources are being decimated at an alarming rate hardly appears to be an example of the resilience necessary for future generations to survive.

And reflecting on all of these points, we have been constantly warned of a future such as this.

All the signs pointed to what we are experiencing today.

And just like today, we chose to ignore each and every one of these signs and warnings.

Are we ever going to learn?
