What is wrong with the world?

He makes some good points in that we tend to talk about things more often than do them. Social networking is all about talking or rather communication. The noise to signal ratio is too high on social networks, and it is dominated by web robots who spam links, and in-you-face adverting that makes the social network free for the users but subjects them to all kinds of advertising even selling their personal data to scammers and spammers and large megacorporations. Sure the social network is free as in beer, but not free as in speech. You don't have any privacy the social network records everything even the stuff you typed but didn't send, and had to stop yourself before you sent it because it would have been embarrassing. In fact one can reasonable say the social networks take away your privacy by forcing you to use your real name and show everything you do, it takes away your rights, your freedoms, your liberties, and of course also treats you as a product instead of a human being, that they can market advertising towards in order to become billionaires.

Apple vs. Microsoft, we once had that with Atari vs. Commodore, we once had that with DEC vs. Wang, we once had that with IBM vs. Amdal, we once had that with Fairchild/Intel vs. TI. Competition is good, because it forces innovation to stay ahead of your competition. But after the DMCA was passed, it gives too much control and power to megacorproations and robs the consumer of ownership rights, liberties, freedoms, and then forces Malware DRM on them in the name of "profits at any cost" and then the megacorproations contribute to both political parties in the USA to make sure that law is never repealed. Oh did I mention corporate corruption makes political corruption?

Religion itself has been hijacked by the megacorproations. For example Christianity was always about love, compassion, and empathy. Love everyone, love your enemies. Now it is about hate, money, power, fame, bragging rights. It is all about greed, envy, lust, sloth, wraith/anger, gluttony, and worse of all pride. Proud to be an American? Proud to be rich and privileged? Christ himself would not approve of it. Pride is one of the most dangerous of the seven deadly sins. No wonder people are leaving religion and becoming atheists, religious people aren't being true to their religious teachings and taking up corporate teachings instead. Corporation corruption makes religious corruption, as well as political corruption, as well as social corruption, as well as cultural corruption as well as environmental corruption as well as economic corruption, and then even science corruption and technological corruption that leads to poor quality products that last less than three years and are made with the cheapest labor in the worst of all conditions in a third world nation using child labor and slavery. But don't worry, once they replace human beings with robots, all of those factory workers will be out of jobs. Unemployed like the rest of us.

Climate change, global warming, global cooling. I don't know the whole thing because of the margin of error in the data collected and that climategate email thing. All I know is corporate corruption has used it as a bat to beat over the head of poor people by jacking around the price of fossil fuels and then trying to force carbon credits (Created by a system from Enron?) to pay for our 'sins' (Anyone remember this guy named Martin Luther?) so we can use carbon based fuels and still not contribute to global warming. It turns out our sun has something to do with it and it is not a 'human factor' http://m.space.com/23934-weak-solar-cycle-space-weather.html But hey, all of this snow is great, and maybe the wooly mammoths will come back as we enter an 'ice age' of global warming aka global cooling bka climate change? BTW more money is spent on studying climate change than actually finding alternatives to fossil fuels and greener technology and greener programming to save electricity? What's up with that? We cut NASA's space program for the war on terror and then cut it some more to study climate change. Now our space program is a joke as China puts a robot on the Moon, and our space shuttle is recycled 1980's tech and mothballed.

The number of mentally ill people keeps on rising. There is no empathy and compassion for the mentally ill anymore. Since a mental illness is 'invisible' most people think the mentally ill are faking it and are really 'pretentious douchebags' who should just 'snap out of it' and get back to work. All public programs to treat the mentally ill got cut after 9/11 in the USA in order to fund NSA spying and security with the TSA and other agencies. Leaving the mentally ill with little or no support options. Dropping out of college because that college could no support them due to lack of funding by the government. So one neuroscience student the system failed, shot up a Batman movie in Colorado as "The Joker" who was mentally ill. Another failed college student shot up a school in Newtown and was mentally ill. The Navy Base Shooter was also mentally ill talking about ELF radiation controlling him. In all three cases they begged for help, talked about killing people, but got no help and no support. They were just swept under the rug and ignored, until they got really violent and off their meds and got some guns and did some shootings. But the mentally ill are vilified now. The news media only focuses on the 10% of the mentally ill that do violent crimes, won't tell you that 90% are non-violent and in need of help, support, empathy, and compassion. http://blastar.in/crawfraud/?p=143

Still it is a human problem of hating those who are different than you in some way. This is a trait that evolution made to keep tribes of humans together for survival. But we don't need it anymore, because the only race that matters now is the human race. All of our lives are at stake now.
