someone have to keep an eye on the overall picture and have serious thoughts for the future… i know poiticians arent...
im guessing its difficult for most ppl nowadays to comprehend they r only pieces on the board and that may be the main reason for all the hate...
Schools don't teach how to think (reason) for oneself, the universities have been taken over by cultural marxists (same problem, but worse), most scientific professions push specialization instead of general/broad knowledge, media pushes shallowness and sensationalism, and voters are all too happy to vote themselves benefits paid out by debt (including unfunded liabilities) that will be dumped on children and the unborn. So yeah, we have some issues here...
For anyone looking to regain something akin to a "big picture" worldview, I suggest the work of Jordan Peterson and Stefan Molyneux (both with many good videos on youtube).
Regarding issues with schools, I suggest the work of John Taylor Gatto, for example this essay: www.naturalchild.org/guest/john_gatto.html, or perhaps this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeEWPbTad_Q

Climate change will probably kill 80% of the population & the uber-rich will have walled high-tech cities.
So I guess get rich or die trying?

I don't want to get into a debate about "climate change", but if anyone is feeling too fearful about the topic there are scientists out there (plenty of stuff on youtube) who don't share the doom-and-gloom mindset, and might be worth seeking out if the idea of disastrous climate change is affecting ones mental health..
As for the "get rich or die trying" mindset, maybe "do the right thing and live/die with honour" would be better?

First of all, the world is going to experience severe climate change. People can debate about it if they choose to do so....it's like what Thomas Jefferson (a man certainly too smart to be a Taoist) once said, "what my neighbor believes neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg!" The sad thing is that we are on one of those shifts between an "ice age" and the opposite of which which is something along the lines of no ice whatsoever. The ice age scenario lasts a bit longer.....it's all part of the natural cycle of the Earth, but what I and some my business colleagues have discovered is that this world is overpopulated. That's right, my Taoist friend...I said OVERPOPULATED. So, in about 1974 we got together and decided to speed things up a bit. By artificially creating about 1.5 Celsius degree change by 2028 the Oceans should rise about 4 feet. This will wipe out roughly 78% of the world's population by 2035. We will then consolidate technological advances and wealth into one globalized society of a "new" nobility so to speak and that's the end of that! The Earth should become a paradise for about 500 years before the next ice age....we expect by then to have considerable technological advances that will sustain our newly formed superior society for the duration to the 3,000 years of ice that we expect to occur.
That's a little inside scoop to a story you'll never hear about on any Taoist BS mumbo jumbo youtube video!!

the contamination of the world as in climate change is serious, i agree, but it doesnt reach the severity of the contamination of the human mind and spirit... it is time for good ppl to leave the idea of passive defence!
existentially speaking i will sooner or later have to elliminate or tame the world cause if i dont it will eventually elliminate or tame me and that is just not acceptable… was that blunt enough for u?
@styxesc
It is never an easy decision to make when dealing with people's lives. The fact is that people like me needed massive amounts of people to fight wars...eventually this led to a vast number of such "peasants" becoming victors in certain conflicts and awarded better pay for their jobs which led to medical advances and eventually a thriving planet that exploded in prosperity and unfortunately also overpopulation. It's not just that I have no need for a surplus population, but rather that such a population happens to be a massive detriment to this planet. The simple fact is that we as a human race have out grown our home. Either our home must get bigger or we as the inhabitants must become smaller. It's simple math! We can continue this discussion at around 2035....things should look much better by then.....both aesthetically and politically!

there is a new god in town… and hes not sure the world will be around in 2035...this world may very well be a testing-site to learn from..."a new and improved carlito brigante"!
