How the best possible future for the world might happen?

[Jim]

What are the best possibilities you can see for the future of the world and all its people; how do you think they might happen; and what are you learning to do, that might help?

I only see two possible outcomes at this point:

1- The bible is right and God will intervene, saving us from ourselves.

2- Humans continue on the current path of self destruction and in a couple of centuries there will be very few forms of life left on earth. Between climate change, overpopulation, resource depletion, the destruction of biodiversity, pandemics and the threat of war... let's say it doesn't look good.

Some people still hold on to the hope that humans are capable of changing things, of sacrificing for the greater good, making the right decisions, taking important action, blah, blah, blah. I'm not one of those people. I don't trust humans to be capable of changing things because humans are selfish and don't want to change themselves.

Do you see anything for you to do, to help with that?

Do you see anything for you to do, to help with that?

I teach people about the Bible when they are interested in learning, and I apply the high moral standards I've learned in my personal life as much as I'm capable off. I don't really have the power to do more than that.

To live in the present moment is the solution to get a better future. Because if you live in the present moment there is no past or future to worry about

I keep hoping that eventually we will all just get sick and tired of killing ourselves and each other in this giant Darwinist competition we think we must be part of, and we'll decide to cooperate for the good of everyone. But sadly, we humans don't seem to live long enough, or teach our children well enough, for this lesson to be fully learned and held on to. Every time we try it, things get much better for us, but then we forget the lesson and fall back into our blind selfishness, and those gains are all lost, again. When will we finally, collectively, wake the *F* up? I don't know.

Option 3. I am appointed Grand Universal Dictator for Life of Earth and All Orbital Environs. I'll fix some problems, I can tell you.

Best outcome:-
Large dense well planned urban cities driven entirely by sustainable energy and smart AI intensive infrastructure. Population per city 5-10 million.
These cities surrounded by large climate controlled greenhouses where all food are grown from suitably bio-engineered plants to ensure very high yield at low resource utilization. City waster fully recycled to organic fertilizers as plant food.
High speed inter-city train services and planes facilitating travel between cities.
Population stabilized at about 8-10 billion.
Each of these mega-polis internally governed and autonomous. City conglomerations decide continental policies while planetary policies determined in a future version of UN. Nation states are obsolete.
Rest of landmass (about 40%) left to the wilderness to keep planetary ecology stable and recover from the destruction it faced in the 20th and 21st century.

When could this happen? Optimistically by middle of 22nd century.

Average human lifespan should touch 150 years by then.

That's what I said!

Is there any part of that, that you'd like to learn to do better? Do you have friends that you talk to about that, to get ideas from each other, and encourage and support each other in that? Do you ever do any of that online? Is there any place I can go online, to see you doing that?

Not very prophetic, unfortunately. Know a couple of things though. Kingdom come, will be done, daily bread, etc. Also relate to the Nimrod lesson.

Big into revelation. I'm thinking the best thing is to just keep eyes and ears open and try to stay out of caves.

I don't think that people are capable of doing all that by themselves. I think that they're capable of doing all that with help from God.

Is this good? Maybe.

Do you have any interest in trying to help improve the lives of any other people in the world, besides you? If so, is there anything that you're learning to do for that, beside living in the present moment yourself? Have you learned to do that as well as you want to? How did you learn? Is there any more that you're hoping to learn? If so, how do you think you might learn it?

Can you picture any way that might happen? Is there anything that you're learning to do, that might help? If you can picture some way that might happen, what can you think of that you might be doing now, in that picture, to help it happen?

Better education through the creative means of teaching "Introspection".

The kids these days through public education are being crammed full of socialistic values that neglect a balance of individualistic values. I think the reason why depression is through the roof with our youth is because without the understanding of 'self' they are left with an ever increasing incapable experience to truly help others. In some ways the current power structures overriding our education system seem to be designed to keep the competition down --- literally, figuratively, and creatively(this echoes throughout the college standards and requirements as well).

IDK...maybe some in power really think it's their job to make sure wisdom remains a rare phenomenon.

My life has been dedicated to help others both physically and mentaly. i took care of my father already when i was 15 years old, then he died in 2000, after a few years my mom got cancer and i had to take care of her even i had fulltime work, She died in 2013, in 2015 i met my now fianceè and also she have a lot of physical struggle, so again even i cultivate dhamma full time now i take care of her.

Other then within my family i have been helping people spiritually for many years. and i worked as a health care/nurse for a time too
So there has been very little time to think of my self. So even i been a buddhist since 1997 all this time i been more helping other people then my self.
But i have nothing to complain about when it comes to my human life as it has been.
If i was to worry about the past or the future i would not be able to have a calm mind.

Can you tell me more about keeping eyes and ears open? Do you see any more for you to do, besides that, for the kingdom to com and God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven?
