Humanity's World Report Card: D - At Best.

In the nearly 6000 years of recorded human history the human race crawled out of the caves and forests of our ancient ancestors and created megalithic structures, societies that gave law and order then developed the healing arts. Somehow our communities grew together to create language,science and technology which grew out of this social structure to only come to the brink of world extinction in the 4 billion years of the planet's existence. The fraction of time it takes for the human race to perhaps cyclically destroy itself is a majorl problem. We have in the last one hundred years created more environmental fiascos, nuclear melt downs and climatic conditions to challenge the last ice age 10,000 years ago. The pollution crisis that affects every continent's air quality is at crisis level as we decimate the planets lungs", the Amazon forest with materialisms profit motive at the fore front. Glaciers are melting creating flooding as green house gases remain trapped beneath earth's atmosphere. As we advance in more science and technology , those who have access are the one's most able to utilize it to conquer other people's as to annex their resources including human ones. With all of the intelligence that devised the computer age, nano-technology, HAARP, the nuclear bomb, SDI(Star Wars), satellites, the microwave, and cell phones we are no more closer to solving our planetary ills of human social equality with the creation of the wealth gap, education gap, energy gap, food gap, housing gap, clean water gap, and yes, the love gap. Humanity has used the material paradigm to only create bigger more complex issues for itself. The economic model we have used and reinvented every 20 years has also failed us, why . What motivates the economic sense of survival if it isn't the base instinct to survive, but humanity sought to amass beyond it's own needs with greed as numerous suffer.. So, what drives the economic system when there is suppose to be economic prosperity? Greed in its most splendid colors. On the Atomic Clock, according to nuclear physicist, we are five minutes to midnight; 6000 years is merely a fraction on that scaled down model of all 6000 years measured on a 24 hour clock. It means that humankind is literally a planetary and cosmic infant on the planet earth as it relates to understanding the solar system and milky way . It would mean that a "higher mind" or I dare say consciousness will have to be utilized to create a new paradigm for all humanity to operate under or face certain annihilation. The materialistic model of subsistence is apparently a non-sustainable model because it is one that promotes inequality, injustice and the same old utilitarian theme that "the end justifies the means". But, that means as this wheel spins "out of control", we end up destroying the majority of the earth to benefit only a few. Over that 6000 years of recorded history, those who spoke out with a philosophy which diametrically opposed the "materialistic model" of existence as the only survival method were often met with a power structure which found reason to either ostracize, denigrate or assassinate the character or body of them . Critical free thinkers and Objective observers knew through viewing nature's harmonious balance that our self-destructive base materialism was doomed from the beginning. The idealism that these "free thinkers" encouraged was one that returned humanity back to a natural order based on a "cosmic connection" . So-called lower order life(plant, animal and microscopic organisms) have subsisted for eons where we have repetitively failed for our short 6 thousand years,cyclically. Why, what explains this ? Even with our wealth of materialistic scientific technology, we fail. The paradigm that those few brave thinkers were introducing was a socialistic order that is symbiotic and intimately tied to nature. By excluding our own nature in the cosmos we ignore our own fit in the natural order of the planet, the solar system, the galaxy , indeed the universe. What these free thinking philosophers have stated 5000 years ago are pretty much the same thing our astro-physicist known as Cosmologist(they are called cosmologist because these scientist understand the cosmic connection) have come to embrace this very same timeless belief. The whole idea of money(the crux of materialism) has to be re-thought. The idea of debt and interest rates that creates compounded debt out of thin air must be re-evaluated, What is defined as poverty, worth and value in materialism will "all" have to be re-structured and re-analyzed is the measure of existence or we lose our legacy. Can human beings redefine their identity after attaching itself only to material worth and value for 6000 years? It is a tall order. But, all of humanity is at a cross-roads where this must be challenged or we face worse contingencies than we probably could ever imagine and face perhaps even far worse contingencies to correct our thinking. A pound of cure, may end up actually turning out to be worse than the sickness we face.The clock is ticking, but the question remains, can we still make the grade? Be willing to give up the current materialistic model or else!
