There’s no question that something has gone incredibly wrong with the United States, and, as shown at left, you don’t have to be an American to see that.
The question is what to do about it. Trump is not a state representative from South Dakota, nor is he the mayor of Houston. He’s the U.S. President, and the majority of Congress do anything he asks as required not to earn his vengeance.
Easy. It’s 36% in the United States, and somewhere around 15% in the rest of the developed world. It’s slim, and it’s disintegrating fast.
The world isn’t in great shape right now, but most human beings are good people, and they abhor the crimes and the constant barrage of crimes. It’s really no more complicated than that.
What Kurt Vonnegut said here is interesting, but I doubt it’s correct.
Yes, people talk about religious people’s “imaginary friend in the sky,” which would be, of course, a remedy for loneliness. But I believe that the primary driver for religion is fear–of all things unknown, and especially of death and the afterlife.
The world population growth is 0.85%. In the developed world (OECD countries), it’s about 0.5%.
It’s not credible to me that our civilization is threatened by this. But if I were concerned, I’d ask a scientist whose life’s work is studying this phenomenon. Why anyone could possibly care what Elon Musk thinks about Earth’s population and climate change is beyond me.
