In some ways, we have become quite complacent with how smart we are. The average 10 year old knows more science than most adults 200 years ago. Trips that used to take months can now be done in days or hours. We are IT. But, we don't have all that much longer to be IT. That is seriously scary. I mean a no-shit kinda scary. And we aren't doing much to change things.

Let's look at a very simple assumption that is out in our world. We can all get richer. Bullshit. If ya have a finite amount of money (however one defines that), then it stands to reason if one person gets richer, other people have to get poorer. But we still buy in to the dream. And the dream is a lie.
