    The new society thread

    While trying to be intuitive as much as I can, my mind is basically logic-driven. Just like with most of people.

    Perhaps it's fortunate, as the "reason" and "reasoning" is deeply rooted in our society. This is where and how we can build a bridge to introduce new ideas.

    When younger, I believed that our society can change in a time-span of one generation. Now I started to think that it's not going to happen. The society changes indeed, but not too fast, particularly deeper layers stay almost unmoved.

    Therefore, there need to be some ways on thinking of society as a whole to be altared and clarified, I believe.

    Before XX-th century
    Mentality of people were different. There were some "worse" things and "better" things in the old times about the society. But the fact is that there was not so much alienation and isolation (except of the territorial) then. People were natural, developing basically independently, free from so much distraction and interference as children today have to face, unprepared.

    XX-th century
    The changes in about the recent 100 years around the globe and so made a great impact of how humanity lives. Possibly the single biggest turning point was the ending of the II world war, which re-shaped the whole world actually upside down. Emergence of the "new order" on the planet, placing USA in the center of culture and economy, essentially was very needed, as the rest of the world was deeply immersed in ossified conservatism, including Europe. This led us to the world as we know it today.

    Hippie movement
    Arguably, the biggest social revolution in the recent 100 years has happened in the 60's of the XXth century. Although it didn't last for too long (and I wasn't fortunate eonugh to live in those times to experience it by myself directly), it changed the general awareness and approach to living, giving also many ideas and inspired the new generation to come in next decades.

    XXI-th century
    The biggest shift in the shape of our world has occurred not that far ago: the creation of internet has changed really a lot... but still not that much as it could (and should).

    This means that there are still lots of ideas on using the internet to be developed. And, as always in the human society so far, the most invention comes when the needs arise - and those usually arise, unfortunetely, in the fields of military or economy only. The recent (several years) growth of companies like airbnb or uber show that clearly.

    The changes
    In the upcoming posts I, and hopefully others as well, am going to share ideas on some new views and reflections on the society and living in general - the changes.

    Some of the authors writing in 70's often referred to emergence of a new era. So, after these few decades, we can say that it is actually a new era, yet probably very different from what they expected - media tell us that it's called the "information age". I must admit that I disagree.*

    But in general, I think that after the 60's, the society is again loosing its sense of direction. 2000's brought even more consumerism, counter-ecological events and imbalanced, purely financially-oriented endeavors dominated the global picture.

    The core subjects
    Here's a short list of things that when considered I think are in the center of reasons where lay the key to a better 'world', and what actually 'world' means? It's obviously not complete.

    Why did the hippie movement failed

    Does society need some new clearer diversity and freedom in choice

    Do we need the diversity based on the political and spatial territory, instead of a personal philosophy

    How the planet will look like (including the environment) after next 2-3 decades

    Is scientific idelogy be dominating (or the only) available option

    Do religions has any place in the upcoming centuries

    Does esoterics area need a totally new view and reshaping

    How psychic skills and abilities should be involved in our lives

    How raising children could change

    How education system should change

    How general social awareness and responsibility may change

    How social contacts should look like

    Where is a place for an art, and how should it be involved

    Where is a place for non-logical (right-brain basically) way of thinking

    How much people are really free in their personal choices, aside from the schemes imposed by the general society, and how much support exist there for such a freedom in personal choice

    and many others, many of which are to be introduced later, to not overwhelm with too many (and there are many enough I guess), but don't hesitate to introduce a new ones


    ...does any of these subjects sounds interesting to you? any ideas to share?

    * it seems that it's rather an age of mental chaos, delusion, personal and social uncertainity, and global war of capitalist domination
