It is by the human race's uncanny tendency to develop culture, civilizations, and technology that we can construe some sort of purpose in this world. If we don't choose to run to the hills and be a hermit than we aren't objecting. If we live in our environments in total bliss than we must be ignorant. If we live indifferent than we may not complain. If we choose to use our creative cognitive capacities to their fullest potential than it becomes obvious that its neither about complacency nor idealism. It's quite simply about attempting to improve the systems that contain us. CLEARLY, there is a general human vision that is without a guide. There is no one vision, and yet from an outsider, it would appear that we were quite fervently guided. If we don't attempt to make the world a safer, and more happy place for the future, how can we look our children straight in the face. Anyone who knows about engineering knows that nuclear energy is highly efficient IF there is not accident. The problem is, humans consistently show signs of fallibility. Planet Earth is quite unpredictable in addition to that. Alternative energy is of course the way to go. It's a no brainer. Implementing its uses would obviously take decades. But no economies need to suffer, nor do people need to suffer electricity shortages, if people embrace the change. Truly, a man like John Lennon is sorely missed. I can recall all kinds of highly articulate and charismatic novelists and public speakers, pundits, politicians, etc. But none were as intelligent as him. Change. Massive Change. Can literally happen overnight. It just needs enough people to embrace it. Our modern era is swimming with awareness. I await the day when the personality trait of 'apathy', or the perception of 'it's complicated' are as universally disliked as a fart to the face.
