it is my opinion that the world we live in today is still
very primitive. in fact as primitive as what it was 12 000 years ago when the
first signs of transition from the neolithic to the urbanized world appeared.
our main violent struggle on the planet is between the predominant western
cultures and the predominant eastern cultures over fundamentally, resources.
yes, there seems to be less open emphasis on the cultural elements factoring in
between the countries where the oil is (modern gold) and the countries whom
control the oil. in the european middle ages, there was certainly a higher
emphasis on the religion and nationality one came from. class difference was
absolute and all engines of progress was fueled by this structure of divides.

it is interesting to note that in the middle ages
controlling the trade routes was the main source of power in contemporary times
where as controlling the oil fields determines the most power in the modern
world. none the less, both are essential resources. making it the hidden cause
of the crusades during the european middle ages and the main cause of terrorism
and the war on it today. the money generator of the times determines the
arguments which turn sour or work out of those times.
but the glaring primitivism of the entire trend is that
human society hasn’t learnt from its past mistakes and keep repeating them. if
the cheesy idea of the greater good, ‘the right thing’, common sense could be
followed then all argument over resources would dissipate and peace on earth
would not be a mere figment of our imaginations. why fight over resources that
were naturally acquired over millions of years in earths geology and are
therefore intended for all humanity. when nature already shares everything very
sparingly. why waste all those billions of dollars and pounds creating death
showers of warfare equipment just to move the idea of ownership from one
societal identity to another societal identity. the clock on global warming is
ticking and we literally do not have the time to argue about whom owns ‘what to
do’ about our fate on the planet, we only have time to team together and do it.
