RE: Why do so few seem to really genuinely care about the state of the world?

in answer to your questions:

  1. real wealth is land, seeds, livestock, equipment, tools, machinery, gold, silver, and favours owed.

  2. you're right, it's all part of the ancient mystery religion of babylon - the first cities with rulers. a study into the architecture of many cities, their use of numbers and symbols, their rituals - we're all part of a great big religion and hardly anybody realises it.

  3. the impulse to counter it - why bother being good though? why not join them, reap the rewards for this life that they do?

    Thanks for answering. I would suggest knowledge and love are the most important in terms of real wealth. And I agree with all of your items except for livestock as I'm personally against exploiting animals, though I could see how you could see that if that is not a moral item for you or if it were a survival situation and was somehow necessary in some manner in an emergency.

    you're right, it's all part of the ancient mystery religion of babylon - the first cities with rulers. a study into the architecture of many cities, their use of numbers and symbols, their rituals - we're all part of a great big religion and hardly anybody realises it.

    I agree with this however I think it could likely go back even further than ancient Babylon.

    the impulse to counter it - why bother being good though? why not join them, reap the rewards for this life that they do?

    Maybe good isn't the right word as that's just the duality of it's counterpart, however I'd rather not join in because I see them as a major part of the problem and I value my heart and honor and morality more than material things.
