This blog is about the world, the state it is in, how it got here, and where it's (most likely) going. There are a million things to talk about, and there is no easy place to start. I thought however, that a good exercise for myself and others, would be to write out a list of our given values and beliefs. From the mundane and beyond, I have started a list for myself:
recycling - good
plastic bags - bad
organically grown food - good
oil - bad?
money - has value
overweight - bad
thin - good
yoga - good
cholesterol - bad
soy - good
vegetarian - good
vegan - better
eco-friendly - good
carbon footprint (whatever that actually means) - very, very bad
carbon offsets - very, very good
youth - good
the New Age - good
school - good
college - better
prescription drugs - good
hybrid cars - excellent
The United Nations/helping poor unfortunates - good
bottled water - good
fluoride toothpaste - good
vaccinations - good
vaccinations for third world countries - very good
abortion, or at least pro-choice - good
evolution - good!
therapy - good
cities - good
feminism/womens liberation movement - good
This is just a start, and I encourage you to make your own list, or at least examine this one, and ask yourself, "where did these ideas come from?"
In future blogs I will be revisiting each of these concepts individually, to examine where the ideas came from, and what they are meant to promote.
