Personally, I have great hope for humanity and prefer not to overlook the good in the world.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidKellyJay's brand of codified supernatural speculation is both deeply misanthropic and deeply narcissistic.
People who only see evil around them are fundamentally 'glass half empty people.' Personally, I have great hope for humanity and prefer not to overlook the good in the world.
@divegeester saidWhat is your empirical basis for this ~ laid out in terms of the everyday lives of billions of your fellow human beings around the world ~ or is it possible that the TV news you consume is rooted in the principle of 'bad news sells'?
I think it’s a poo-storm and it’s gonna get worse.
@fmf saidEmpirical basis? Are you living in a bubble? Look at the statistics. Across the board it's getting worse. Don't ask me to provide the numbers. Just google it.

@secondson saidYes, empirical basis. I have looked at the statistics. If you don't want to mention any statistics - or even any categories of statistics - that you claim are "getting worse... across the board", so be it.

@secondson saidFeel free to lay something out in terms of the everyday lives of billions of your fellow human beings around the world.
And open your eyes. When in human history has man not used the weapons he has developed? America, Russia and China alone have a combined arsenal of nukes enough to destroy life on earth 10 times over.

Have a look at into the indicators for infant mortality, maternal mortality, life expectancy, access to preventative health care, access to courts, increasing respect for basic human rights, access to basic education, literacy, chances of being killed arbitr ...[text shortened]... lace for more human beings - and a higher proportion of human beings - than at any point in history.
@secondson saidAre people ever wrong or bad? When they only look at what makes them look good, they fail to see anything else.
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them,..
I think that for all you think you know you're oblivious to the reality that God is never wrong.
@kellyjay saidAre you replying to what I said to FMF? Because I don't see the relevance of what you said to what I said.

@secondson saidI guess to the whole board, not to you, I should have just written it without your name sorry!

@secondson saidKellyJay talks to posters like Kegge but not to me.

@kellyjay saidI've never met anyone who looked at the state of the world and the human condition who only looks at what is "good" and "fails to see anything else". I don't think you have either. I think you're just making it up.

@secondson saidYou said "Empirical basis? Are you living in a bubble? Look at the statistics. Across the board, it's getting worse. "
It's the answer I gave to your post.
