We are the universe understanding itself

Hello,

I don't know you, but i came across your page using a keyword search.
Some of the stuff you write is fascinating.

We truly are the Universe understanding itself in the form of human perception. We do have remarkable potential, but there is a part of us which limits our ability to do these amazing things you speak about.

I understand you're involved with Virtual Reality. I have not had the pleasure of knowing anything about it, but i have had a fascination about it for the past 2 years.

This technology, along with many other proposed systems which would enhance our lives, and would propel us into a new realm of consciousness, is not embraced for the same reason societies seem to remain stuck in its cycle of familiarity.

Some people have an intense desire to control people, whether it be a small group or a large population. If you occupy peoples minds with useless information and material that dulls the mind and gives no ability to critically think, you produce obedient, ignorant, fearful mindsets which may not be the same, but to the specification in which the designer(s) finds relative to their needs. Most people don't want a clue of how their lives have been shaped by forces they could not control.

For technology, we have a limited number of people with an adequate understanding of digital systems in order to produce tomorrows next inventions. Sadly, most people who use the products have a very limited concept of how these devices seem to magically perform the operation.

There is one component of society which is to blame above all. Money. Not so much the mechanism of trading a currency for something of relative value to it, but the art of capitalism which incorporates special systems which are designed to sell substandard products which has been manufactured to be obsolete in an X number of years. While this is going on, these same companies leave the prototypes of the next generational gizmos on the shelf. They do this in order to create components for it which will also be destined to fail at their desired amount of time.
Just think of it, if we had not any concept of this flawed system, would we not be flourishing in a more optimally designed alternative to our current society? I know we have the capablity to duplicate a mirror image representation of our physical universe within astronomy programs... so why aren't people making plans to create a new perception within this new plane of existence?

We are letting ourselves be held back by our own flawed design. That design is capitalism. The systems that were also tried seemed to integrate already known systems and ideas within their own, dealing with money, such as the USSR attempting to create a communist society. Their failure was due to centralization, intense focus on war, and the concept of money being incorporated into a vast human civilization which enticed greed and competition.
People have let this concept of money rule them for thousands of years. It is system that exists so long as people believe in it. The system rules itself due to direct emotional involvement. It will not die because people are fearful and ignorant to any alternative, and will forever stick to what they know because any alternative they can think of would be too hard to imagine. Taking that leap would be tapping into the unknown. The uknown invites intense fear, and people would usually think of any possible way to escape from getting there, because once we're there, the concept of returning may not be possible. They would cling on to it so tight, that they would use violence, even murdering others who would attempt to lead them into it.

My goal in life is to essentially create a division amongst people, so that one side may continue the way it has been going... into its endless cycle of capitalism, etc. Meanwhile inviting a new civilization to sprout, which has no involvement in monetary civilizations. Where work is purely voluntary, though some work required by people is merely for survival. A civilization where robots are constructed to take care of 50-90 percent of human labor, such as garbage, mail, and transportation. Even to the point where robots repair themselves, and maintenance robots called 'repairbots' can repair themselves and provide the materials required for its function.

We have too many great ideas, but we let other people with purchasing power decide whether it is 'cost effective' to be realized. Our hands are essentially tied. We need to regain control of ourselves through commonality and start a movement that will give some of us the challenge to create our own world.

I have no plans, so tell me what you think.

Sincerely,
-Dan
