I expected this! I have an opinion with no evidence, and people don't believe it. That is 100% fine! I have about ZERO evidence for this, and if I did, I would have shown it. It is my opinion that this plateau comes now just based on where we are at with these problems and becoming proficient in our understanding of why humans do things. It is completely speculation, and honesltly, It would be better if I was wrong. I am not offended by you saying I have no evidence, because I don't!
Alsp regarding the human nature, some things do change. No doubt about it! But this desire we all have to be better or prove were better than others will never go away. It takes dufferent forms based on the age and culture we are in, but humans still want to prove their superior to others. Other things like theft comes from a feeling of jealousy, again, something that I don't think will go away. Or rape, men's high sex drive isn't going anywhere, and there will always be a few people doing it. Remember, I have no evidence, and this is all in my opinion of course!
You're entitled to your own opinion, and thank you for being so civil. However, I'd like to suggest that, if your opinion can't be backed up with evidence maybe it's time to reevaluate it. Apathy certainly won't help us improve things.
I know, it is just that you can't really disprove me either. I wasn't searching for an objective debate of facts, but rather an exchange of opinions on the outlook of the problems in our world. I do still really do appreciate the time you tool to respond to this post!
I suppose it's impossible to "disprove" *any* claim about the future, if you mean it that way. But all we have to predict the future is trends and patterns we've observed in the past.
What's the point in holding any belief, if it's not supported by some sort of evidence or reasoning, and doesn't benefit the world? I think I'm missing something here.
Its not really about the future, it is that right now we are as far as we will get. But that does require that in the future we won't progress much, but that isn't the main point. Also, if you want to talk about beliefs without evidence, lets talk about religion shall we? Are you religious in any way, or are you athiest like myself?
I am an atheist, and what's more, I'm a nihilist. More of an absurdist, maybe, but I suppose it doesn't matter.
I think religious beliefs are kind of stupid - but at least there's some kind of reason behind them: a need to find spiritual comfort in a sometimes harsh, material world. It's unsupported, maybe, but it has tangible benefits. Sometimes.
Well I would not say thay religions benefit anyone. Yoi could argue they do, but it is kind of a placebo because it isn't actually true. It seems that religious poeple's benegit is that they 'know' that when they die the will be in a better place. Their actual life itself is usually worse, but they feel better about death.
Is it normal to think no major problem in this world can be fixed?
