Itoero Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Then how do you explain mass hysteria?Ok, people agree on many stuff. Ideologies rise as well as different beliefs. What if altogether just agree and build a united and peaceful world. We could build it if all of us know the true reality and true meaning of our existence..The true reality is not known and can imo never be known. You can always ask: "And where does that comes from?" You can always say a divine force(or a dude with a big beard) created everything since science can never have all the answers. There are always gaps. What do people mean when they talk about the true meaning of our existence? It looks like the meaning of our existence is assumed to be the same as the cause for our existence.

dimreepr Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Ending abuse and getting people to agree to a peaceful world where everyones basic needs get met are separate challanges. One is an individual issue and the other would be delt with structurally by world govts. I didn't say it would be easy. There is a plethora of disorders people can be genetically predisposed to. As a result people will have parents, uncles, brothers, sisters, spouses, and etc who are depressed, addicts, bipolar, schizophrenic, obsessive compulsive, and etc. Growing up in a home with parents that suffer from anxiety, narcissism, attachment disorder,and etc can create negative environments for children. There is a good argument to be made that many mental disorders would be greatly reduced in a peaceful and cooperative world but to say they wouldn't exist is to deny the genetic component involved in health. So we'd still face individuals that manifest impatience, hatred, violence, racism, sexism, greed, and etc. As such saying that you believe Donald Trump suffered abuse doesn't change anything. People like him would still exist. Of course but contentment means we can accept them for what they are; discontentment means we vote for them. Edited January 9, 2017 by dimreepr

The way we perceive peace differs that's why we can't have a general consensus on what qualifies to be a peacefully world!and disagreements fertetilise skepticism and fuel our civilisation.may be we can talk of; if we could realise the mechanism and processes through which peace for all can be achieved regardless of our disagreements

The only way to do that in it's present state is to create an organization like the European union and have nations join it. It would still fall apart in the end as we can see will likely happen from the troubles Europe is facing at the moment. The problem is when you centralize that much power it attracts jerks who want to tell the entire world what to do. It could end very badly if said union has a military. The balance of power would tip in their favor with a military and the leadership may become tyrannical and dangerous. Centralized power is overall not a good thing.
HB of CJ Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 One old definition of peace was when the Communists had conquered the entire remaining world, had just about killed everybody who stood against them and had every single world human under their jackbooted foot. Some kind of peace, right? As long as some brave individuals choose to remain free their will never be world peace. It is hard wired into our brain stems. One would have to invent an entirely new type of sheeple wimpy humans who would rather just be slaves ... than be free.

You know, perhaps world peace can be had without losing our freedoms. If we stop thinking of ownership in such all or nothing terms, and blended our economic strategies better, we wouldn't be at the mercy of the "ists" any more. Private, public, and state ownership each have their reasons for being the best choice in a particular situation. I really hate your stance that freedom and peace can't exist together. It seems like you're purposely placing an insurmountable obstacle in our way.
HB of CJ Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 World History. If one wants peace be prepared for war. Respectfully.

With all due respect, this sounds like a call to create a power vacuum. What types would be the first to feel compelled to fill it?
