hartreefoch,
Who do you think would be happier? The person who doesnt know much and live a simple life or the person who knows alot and doesnt do anything with what they know?
You dont know how those people would feel if they were enlightened and for them to be just happier slaves, what they do before and after has absolutely nothing to do with you or how the world will turn out to be like. yeah society might collapse, it might also take on a different dirrection, it doesnt have to go downward. Look at how different the technology is today than from 4000yrs ago during ancient civilizations, even look back at 200yrs ago, we as human being adapt to our environment, even the environment we have created..

Theres a possibility that you were sorrounded with narrow minded people growing up as a child and took on their ways of thinking therefore surrounding yourself with negative situations which helped prove to yourself that what you percieve the world to be was right according to your beliefs.(negative beliefs).
You can not assume that the world will go a certain direction because you dont know what is going on inside their heads, everyone had a different up bringing, if you want put it on a scale from -10 to +10. of cause there would be loads more people in -10 to -5 then there would be in +5 to +10. The question is where would you find yourself, honestly, cause youd be just lieing to youself. Now where would you like to be? even at +10 is not immpossible because there is someone there otherwise there wouldnt be a +10...
If you find it hard to see how negative you are towards alot of things, then I think this AFL is a bit too much for you... even thou its designed for averyone.
Try reading up on spychology so that you can begin to comprehend the basics of the human mind and how it works, you might even see just how a sigle thought can have an impact on the physical world.. untill then dont share with us your generalisation on how the world will turn out and especially how people will feel because you dont know, they are your assumptions based on references from your past, which is filled with negativity, its written all over everything you have written up on this forum.if you disagree, I can understand, nobody likes to be told they are wrong which is not my intentions here, I want you to see that your percption of the world and how people will feel given a certain situation is not the only one and that there is that possibility that you could be wrong..
I would focus on me first instead of worrying about the whole world at first.
Thinking too much about how everyone is/would be experiencing the world wont do you much good, Focus your enerygy on how YOU are feeling right now and how YOU would like to feel therefore experiencee this world.. work on yourself and stop refering to others, those are just exuses to justify why you havent being working on yourself or why you havent got the result your after..
all the best to you.
