Nature of the World

We shower in our own vanity, we subjugate others and confine ourselves into our own arrogant groups, discriminate and wage wars. At least some of us. Those that play others emotions and desires, they do it because of greed, to gather more for me at any cost, without consent of the future. Of course it's just human nature, display dominance and continue to do so in the future, because you can, and it suites you. Will we ever overcome our own folly? Will we ever get past this evolutionary desire? This completely absurd and destructive idea!
     It brings me to a sort of melancholy nihilism when I look at the world. It's cycle of prosperity and decay. It appears to me that it is slowly crumbling, and that it might collapse, or even worse continue it's cycle of destruction. Bubble and burst. For if it did completely collapse, there might be a chance that it could become something greater in due time. Something that doesn't lend itself to finance and greed. Something where there are necessities for all, because at least that would be a better world than what we have. Not a complete utopia, who would want such a dull world anyways. To strive and challenge are some of mans greatest attributes, to change and refine. If there was nothing more to do, nothing more to improve, what a bore that would be.
     All I want to do is explore and understand the universe. Probe the laws of the universe and come to a greater understanding of what we live within, and to share it with the world.  You might call it research and development, but that is just relegating it to three words. It is something more; it too is part of human nature, far less destructive, it is the human spirit of exploration, and problem solving. It is a beautiful thing that we should cherish and culture. It gives me hope for humanity, that we could progress into the future, a much more civilized species. That we can solve the problems of greed and hatred, and cast them off. But it saddens me that it will not be soon, if ever, and there's not much I can do about it

Nationality, Ethnicity, and History

 I was thinking about how the rest of he world is more culturally advanced than the U.S. because they have been around longer and the people within those geographic locations have been smelted together even as the governments rose or fell It has only been a little over 200 years since America was colonized. Other parts of the world there has been war, trade, and cultural advancement towards a common goal as one people. Before the U.S was colonized only native Americans lived there. (and the nationality label "Native American" which I do not see as a fitting name because it is not specific enough, but maybe that is the point it does not need to be.)      But when you are talking about America you could be saying north america south america or central america. The term "America" is a very broad term. Ideally I would think you would be able to call "Native Americans" by their tribe names but there are very few organized trib...

Science, or something like that

     Today I while lying in bed I thought of a conversation that I would have in my science class that would never happen. At first I believe I thought about how I define armaments as anything to keep you from getting killed by the opposing force. Then I thought what if my science teacher asked what if the opposing force is an unstoppable force, to which I responded what if my armaments are unmovable. Then I said that the reality of our force and object would be impossible due to the 2nd law of thermodynamics which roughly states that  any machine needs a source of heat (power) to continue to run. In the case of his unstoppable force it would need an infinite source of energy which at this point in time is impossible, and as would my unstoppable armaments because they would have a force (maybe not an unstoppable one) acting against it and it would lead to it's inevitable demise as nothing lasts forever. Then we started conversi...
