So do you think that the children of our generation (assuming you're in the same generation as myself) will be brought up as dreamers because we see the world in decline and want to do something about it? Or do you think that as a whole, the decline will just continue until we ruin ourselves?
Well, thats a complicated question. Due to the extreme growth of many technological factors many kids will be dreaming in a different way than you or I may think of. We are becoming a technology based society and their ideas will spring forth from these topics. We will not ruin ourselves anytime soon (I hope). But there will always be those that are enveloped in mass media. Until there is a fundamental change in the way that our culture brainwashes us (which won't happen) not much will change. Children are a cash crop for big business, and will be molded by what they see. It will be our job as parents to form them into dreamers and philosophers.
So you'd say that it's the greed of the 'corporate fat cats,' if you will, that has led us down this path? When I become a parent, that is what I will be devoting my life too. There's an interesting trend among Silicon Valley CEOs that seems to do just that.Until there is a fundamental change in the way that our culture brainwashes us (which won't happen) not much will change.
