What does it really mean to impact the world, to have an effect?

I must admit, it drives me crazy listening to all these people talk about new technologies, new theories, new blah blah blah…

They are missing the contemplation.

It is eating at me and I must answer this, “what does it mean to impact the world?” and that is a naive question, I know, because there are missing components to it, such as positive and negative, whose world, and for what…

It goes on.

And this is what I mean by asking the question.

It’s driven me mad for as long as I can remember, listening to people talk about progress, and such an ignorant form of progress they spoke of.

Progress for who…

Ah that’s a sour question isn’t it.

If we can’t look at this basic contemplation, which we can’t, because if we do, we’re labeled as ludites, as negative people, as pessimist the lepers of our time, when in fact what’s really going on is we are saying your are deluded and off track, and your ideas and efforts are for naught and here is why, which you hate.

Which we understand.

But…

It goes on, but the truth is the truth and you are living in a delusion.

No one wants to wake up.

It’s too costly on the front of it, to acknowledge what is so.

That’s the trouble isn’t it.

You…

You are silly.

Ignorance is what it is and it’s your drug, so enjoy it while you are on it, and I will smile at you too, because your delusion spins joy for all.
