World Economic Superpowers, sounds so grand but how can anyone stand up and say the West has achieved anything with the recent realisation of just how unsustainable and fragile the social fabric we live is.
Basically we burn more oil than the poor nations so we are more powerful and able to bully and coerce, just like in a game of monopoly.
Okay, let's not get carried away on this theme, plenty of incredible things have been created and discovered. Its just so depressing when you see that graph of CO2 level rises over the last 30 years. How on earth are we going to get out of this mess. We need a technological revolution greater than both world wars combined but all in a time when people are apathetic.
The money is in the hands of the greediest not the cleverest. We need this money to innovate and implement policy and behavioural changes - let's take it back from the Exxons and currupt and deluded governments of our time. Shopping and voting, so easy even trivial but so important.
