People Cannot Cope with Today's World

This seems obvious to me - but it is also obvious, that it is not obvious to most people.

I am tempted to speculate on why this is - but will not, and only state it as an accomplished fact.

We developed, as a species, over a period of thousands of years, as a neolithic people, with amazing new abilities (including human language) - that allowed us to expand everywhere in the world, except Antarctica.

We were experts at living off the land, that was full of food, if you knew where to look. We were a minor species, but a well-adapted one.

Then we became civilized - and our good times were over. This is a crucial point, that is usually overlooked - so I will state it again. As civilized beings, we created all the advantages of civilization - and its disadvantages. And its disadvantages were enormous - endless war.

But our problems were just starting - they multiplied in the Modern World, that started about 500 years ago.

And they multiplied again, with the Industrial Revolution. in the last 200 years, or so.

And if that were not enough, we were hit with TV and the Computer, about 50 years ago.

If you graph this, you will see how things got quickly out of control.

But if you simply watch the people around you - you will see they are not aware of these difficulties, at all.
